Okay, I don’t normally do this sort of thing, but I’m gonna say it for this. Ya’ll need to watch OK K.O.: Let’s Be Heroes! It’s one of the absolute best cartoons I’ve ever seen. You want some examples of its goodness? Okay, here’s some examples:

The characters are all really funny and dynamic. Their character designs are unique and really stand out and despite having super powers, they act and behave in believable ways.

It is packed to the gills with little references to 90′s cartoons, anime, comic books and video games.

They had an episode where the whole thing was a parody of the typical YouTube videos of the mid to late 00′s, including a parody of shipping AMVs with angsty mid-00′s rock music.

The animation is really unique and satisfying. It’s kinda hard to explain, but it’s just aesthetically pleasing.

The great Jim Cummings voices the main antagonist of the series. So it’s pretty awesome to hear the dude who voiced Darkwing Duck voice the goofball bad guy.

There was literally an episode featuring a bad guy who was based on nu metal singers from the 90′s who was voiced by Jonathan Davis of KoЯn.

Steve Ogg, aka Trevor Philips from Grand Theft Auto V, is a recurring voice actor on the show.

For that matter, so is Chris Niosi, a dude who started out doing flash animations on Newgrounds and has his own Tumblr, @kirbopher. I highly recommend his stuff as I’m a big fan of his and I’m happy to see how far he’s come.

The creator has come a long way, too. Ian Jones-Quartey, who also has a Tumblr, @ianjq, started out making a webcomic I loved in the 00′s called, “RPG World.” After that he went on to work on two other of my favorite cartoons, Adventure Time and Steven Universe. Like Chris, I’m super happy and excited to see how far he’s come.

Speaking of RPG World, they even did an episode of OK K.O. featuring the protagonist of RPG World, Hero. As a fan of the comic, I loved that episode.

Then there’s the opening animation that plays during the theme song, which was directed by the great Hiroyuki Imaishi, the man who gave us anime like FLCL, Gurren Lagann, Panty and Stocking and Kill La Kill.

There are a bunch of other reasons to watch it, but those are the most major ones I can think of. Seriously, watch this show. It’s funny, cute, exciting and just plain awesome! Thanks Ian and crew!
