Dedede's english voice is the only cannon Dedede voice I will accept

These are my canon voices for Meta Knight and Dedede, you can't change my mind!

Meta-Kight - appears Every Mariachi band in a 50 mile radius- "Its showtime"

“It never gets too dark or intense” Fright to the Finish: Allow me to introduce myself.

I refuse to believe that Dedede’s voice in the English dub isn’t his canon voice

How to be anime Meta Knight: Hire a mariachis band. Talk in riddles. Never give a straight answer.

"My name is Meta Knight! You killed my Airship Kirby! Prepare to die!" - Meta Knight

Them sticking with Kirby's Poyo language for the majority of the English dub was a smart choice.

I like the episode where Kirby is tasked with delivering food to King Dedede and ends up sitting in the middle of the road and has an existential crisis.

Never got too dark? What about that two parter where the fortune teller predicted a meteor would destroy the town, then NME made the meteor come right away, and while everyone disaster-prepped, Dedede had to come to terms with his own mortality and his wasted self-serving life?

This anime was such a freaking enigma. So much bizarre meme material, yet the show stays nicely competent.

Meta Knight: "you got a smoke?" Tiff: _W h a t_

That’s not meta knight That’s mexa Knight

I just wanna say that you can't NOT love Meta Knight in every aspect in this show

Fun fact, me and my cousins grew up watching this show, thinking all of kirby was "just a show", so when I got Kirby Squeak Squad (my first kirby game), I was really shocked to learn that it even HAD a game series. I literally brought it to them and we were all like- "KIRBY'S A GAME!?!?!?"

Fun fact: Meta Knight is voiced by Eric Stuart, the same voice as James from Team Rocket in Pokémon. 😉

“BRING OUT THE MARIACHI!!” *heavy metal music plays* “THATS NOT MARIACHI!!”

"Was that words?" LITERALLY EVERY TIME BLADE SPEAKS. SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE HELL WAS HE EVER SAYING

When I was like 12 I had a crush on Meta Knight because of his voice in this show

The scene from this show where DeDeDe takes Kirby to a park makes me cry every time I see it. (Episode 39)

Fun facts about the anime: - The bird (Tokkori) in the original is voiced by the same person that voices Young Link from the N64 onwards (even in Smash Ultimate!) - SO many characters/enemies that were in the games shows up in the anime at some point! Chef Kawasaki, Knuckle Joe, Rick/Kine/Coo, Whispy Woods, Kracko, even Scarfys, Mumbies, and Phan Phan. And of course, the Halberd shows up in the last few episodes. - There are like, 10+ episodes that are just straight-up parodies of pop culture. From Jurassic Park to Harry Potter to Gone With The Wind to a modern art museum (complete with actual real-life art) to... Goodbye Mr. Chips, for some reason. There are so many references. - The original has Kirby music! Some is direct from the games - Green Greens from Smash Bros. Melee plays during one heroic sequence. A few tracks from the anime were also directly featured in Kirby Air Ride (or maybe they were in the game first, can't seem to find out). Yes, the Kirby dance also makes an appearance. I don't even want to know how the dub handled that without the actual music track. - Some of the 'new' transformations Kirby gets near the end, including Water Kirby, are contest winner submissions! Kids in Japan actually submitted ideas for transformations and a few of them made the cut in the anime. And Water Kirby is one that actually became canon in the games afterwards. - The series actually uses a lot less 2D-3D mix as the episodes go on. Kirby is usually 3D but characters like Dedede are less frequently 3D near the end of the series.

You probably already know this, but I thought it's worth mentioning that Meta Knight's English VA was also Brock's VA from Pokemon.

"It doesn't get too dark". Clearly, you haven't seen the episodes Kirby gets a robot dog or the one where the town gets frozen over and he befriends a snowman. Not even a film like Infinity War or Endgame got me that close to crying with a fictional media.

"I am uh supa star warrior" The greatest king to ever live This show was the greatest show to ever live

Dedede’s voice is the best thing ever

*Kirby: Right Behind You.*

Eric Stuart as Meta Knight is the best casting call you could ever have

"I'll be back to take a look at more of them before you know it" It's been almost two years. If he does come back to this show, I hope he talks about the darker episodes.

They made Meta Knight Spanish This is officially the best thing that has ever been created. Period. Also Sword and Blade are Australian and oh my Golly Gee Whiz Willikers I needed that in my life

I have actually met Meta Knight's voice actor a few years ago! He also does the voices of brock and James from the pokemon cartoons if I remember right

Nostalgia be damned- I love this show to death. It also gave some nice character development to characters. Dedede, although still a giant prick, does care for his people sometimes, especially the waddle-dee’s. Meta knight was also showed he isn’t just a purely stoic and knowledgeable swordsman, but he has a soft side and also cares about people

“It never gets too dark or intense” Me an intellectual: Fright to the finish and that time Dedede covered himself with blood and hung to a wall with a satanic looking circle below him in Scare tactics

Alright i have three things... 1. Dedede's voice is great if ya think about it enough 2. That Mariachi with MetaKnight was great and his voice is great i hate that smash voice 3. *R.I.P Escargoon, he was a good snail*

" Oh no. I do not want Kirby to speak English. " That's because the voice actress for Kirby isn't speaking those lines in that scene. It's another person.

17:11 "He's such a good."

16:33 This is what is known as an actors thanks If they sound nervous it is genuine

Somewhere in the endless potential parallel dimensions, there is a universe in which AntDude was the one who created the Kirby franchise, and later went on to make the Smash Bros series, meanwhile Sakurai started a KZfaq channel talking about Kirby among other video games

Don't let this distract you from the fact that Escargoon is still not a dream friend in star allies.

Every time I play Smash Bros Brawl now, I am always gonna say "Bring out the mariachi, here comes Meta Knight." XD

7:43 “ Bring out the mariachi, here comes meta knight!”- Antdude

This anime was the first thing from the Kirby franchise I was exposed to. It felt wrong to me when I encountered chef Kawasaki as an enemy in the video games. He's a very good guy in the anime (as far as I remember).

Just so you know a episode was called “king Dedede’s Snow Job” SNOW JOB

8:27 "How may i help you, King dedede?" "I need a monster to clobber that kirby!"

Some of my personnal favorites from this show are: - the episode where Kirby gets transformed into 2 separate entities looking like Fololo & Falala - the racing episode where we get to see wheel Kirby

Almost surprised you didn't mention the infinite dimensional void that actually _is_ Kirby's stomach in the anime. xD

Fun Fact: Cartoon Buffoon got a sequel called Tooned Out! The ending is different...

I used to watch this so I cant imagine any character talking different to how they do in it. Spanish metaknight is canon to me

The best part of the anime is that: *_THE ONLY 3D ANIMATED CHARACTERS ARE KING DEDEDE AND KIRBY_*

*2D animations during 3D models.* MARIO AND LUIGI: PAPER JAM.

A little backstory on the waddle Dee's that I found interesting, is that waddle Dee's are a very polite species. It's said that if you give the waddle Dee's hospitality like food, water, or shelter, the waddle Dee's will insist on serving your every need to pay back the good deed. If that isn't the purest thing to exist I don't know what is. This was explained on one of the episodes though I forget witch one.

7:42 When you're in a online match in smash as Meta Knight and the opponent is spanish.

Anime Meta Knight has a Spanish accent... *BRING UP THE MARIACHI, HERE COMES META KNIGHT!!*

This show is an untapped gold mine of memes

7:28 Who knew Meta Knight is practically the "Zorro" of Dreamland.

"no i do not want kirby to speak english" someone hasn't read the light novels, not only does kirby speak in them but it's the greatest thing ever

12:40 Wrong. Kirby is Takori's pet.

I have a weird suspicion that Antdude adores Kirby.

Sakurai helped create this? He is just the best no wonder this show was great

16:09 fun fact there was a part in this where they talk about certain tricks that are used in cheap anime so I take it that they weren't cutting corners with this. I know some of the computer animation looked a little hokey but this show had a high production value for what it was

14:32 The millions of waddle dees he has: am I a joke to you

Man this anime was my childhood was weird but enjoyable.

hey have you heard of this obscure series called Kirby?

Things never really get "too" dark. Kirbys pet peeve: am I a joke to you?

Tiff, Tuff, and Escargoon should have been Dream Friends in Star Allies.

Wait a minute... Dedede is the first character that was animated in 3D... Dedede=Triple D=3D

In the German dub King Dedede was voiced by the guy who did the German voice for Mr. Crabs. Kinda fitting isn't it?

"You can't have possibly imagined that's what Meta Knight's voice sounds like" Bold of you to assume I hadn't seen TerminalMontage's videos (which I now get was a reference to this show lmao)

I kinda like that they went with a Zorro kinda vibe for Meta Knight. He’s a grey hero and it really works well I think

16:17 "I want so badly to make fun of that... but it was nothing short of perfection."

You also forgot to mention that the design of Meta Knight's sword came from this anime. The More You Know.

I can't believe an episode made Dedede suffer from Dedepression.

10:58 Thats called slavery kids

"It is fire dedede, our hero! I would never say that."

10:41 is that the origin of Bandana Waddle Dee Spearicopter move?

There is no such thing as unhealthy love for Kirby

13:43 Someone forgot all the friends Kirby loses. RIP Oh, and everyone Meta Knight knew is dead.

AntDude should do a video about Kirby! Right Back At Ya!

AntDude wants to become Kirby. That's why he makes so much content about Kirby. But he does other stuff just so that people won't complain.

11:10 no it’s Kirby: Human Trafficking, The Anime

In summery anything sakurai works on is nearly pure gold

7:43 they actually use spanish music for metaknight, as in from Spain.

I remember watching this 4 years ago and binging the entire thing. *Regrets = 0*

8:41 Is... Is Tiff doing the Koichi Pose?

My sister and I loved watching this show whenever we had the chance.

As a kid i was so confused by the different voices with metaknight in the anime and Brawl

I'm surprised he didn't mention the episode with Kirby's dog. That had me balling my eyes out when I was younger, lol.

“...things never get too dark...” Yeah... that episode with the robot dog begs to differ. Boy does it beg to differ.

7:15 Kirby confirmed ditto

16:50 now i know from where those dodles from Planet Robobot and Rainbow curse come, neat

He’s more than you think and he drowned in a sink.

You know what I just realized. Dedede. De three times. 3D's. 3D. This series predicted the era of 3D a fair bit before it happened.

Kirby Right Back At Ya was one of the best kids animes ever produced.

This anime was actually the first time I was introduced to Kirby, through the Kirby tv channel. Then Kirby return to Dreamland came out and I was like "holy shit! There's a videogame about Kirby?!" Also, Meta Knight's italian voice is waaaay better.

11:39 you mean dededepression, right?

Antdude:not too intense. Kirby anime:slave's, sheep corpses and depression

The only thing currently stopping me from watching this anime is that I can't tell if I want the dub because of Dedede and Metaknight, or the sub because of music and uncut content. It's literally preventing me from getting in because I can't figure it out XD

"Things never get too dark or intense" Because a meteor that threatens all of life in Dreamland isn't intense? Also that episode in the haunted house where Dedede fakes himself being hung up on chains while blood (while fake but whatever) seeps from him isn't too dark? The cartoon episode is the best episode though. "Kick dat kirbeh to dah curb" "He don't scare me none" "Hehehe I am a supahstah warria" Beautiful

"Bring the mariachis, here comes Meta Knight"

This show is the one and only reason I'm in love with Meta Knight. I don't even really play Kirby games.

Fun fact about the Japanese dub, fololo and falala were called lololo and lalala in the sub, as well as kirby speaking Japanese for select words. (Mostly saying what move he's going to do, but he does occasionally say words like suika (watermelon))
