I know it’s easy to find online, but what does Nintendo expect people to do when they outright do not give a “legit” way to watch this?
Nintendo removes episodes from YouTube

HAL cares about its property, and nobody cares about 4kids. Demand isn’t high, and legal issues still exist.
>and legal issues still exist.
Because 4Kids used their own soundtrack and wouldn't pay for the anime's own?
Maybe Discotek will pick this up someday.
>HAL cares about its property, and nobody cares about 4kids.
Didn't they comeback to dub a Kirby special?
They should just get Funimation or someone to do a redub.
Nintendo used the old dub actors. 4Kids had nothing to do with it.
This show was such a disappointment for me.
4Kids is dead in name only. When they went under, Konami basically just bought up the entire staff so they could dub Yugioh for all eternity. So it was pretty easy to just call them up and go "hey, we need the Kirby voice cast back real quick".
It really, really, REALLY needed to follow Dark Matter, instead of Nightmare. Why the fuck would you ignore your most interesting villain?
I've heard some rumor that Sakurai doesn't like the "Dark Matter trilogy" due to it being too dark and him not directing it. Which would explain why outside of a few cameos the show ignores those games and takes it's source from Adventure and Super Star.
>series has a genuinely interesting villain that the fans fucking adore and offer significant intrigue into the worldbuilding of the series as a whole, offering enormous possibility for future installments
>the creator fucking hates it and wishes everyone would just ignore it
Every fucking time. Why are creators so fucking scared of having an open mind about their work?
I like what it did for Nightmare (at least, conceptually, though I don't think the anime ever touched on the "living nightmare sprung from the Fountain of Dreams" until his closing lines in the JP version), even if Dark Matter might've been a more logical "space empire" antagonist although Dark Matter only having a cameo as a mook in the pilot hurts. Plus, it gave us Customer Service.
The issues I have with it are moreso Dedede never really getting the character development he got in the games (even pre-Kumazaki) although he does have his moments and especially Kirby acting like a baby. Stuff like the audio drama CD or those recent light novels would've been preferable.
youtu.be
Bad taste, OP. Hoshi no Kirby was a massive letdown.
>lol let's make the titular character a background prop that spouts a catchphrase cuz he's a baby
Fuck Sakurai, he never worked on most of the series and Shimomura cared more for the IP than he did.
The only thing I remember about this show was Dedede and metaknights dumb dub voices.
Ah but user don't you know? Kirby is a stale series unlike funny monke platformer
You mean KINO voices. Country Dedede is based.
Do people honestly think DKC is stale on the level of Kirby?
>nintendo refuses to sell a thing
>nintendo also attempts to stop people from obtaining it less legally
It's just their policy.
I don't think so.
DKC's issue is that it essentially went dormant after DK64, instead having a bunch of spinoffs like Jungle Beat (which only had DK himself) and King of Swing.
By contrast, Kirby's always been present, just on handhelds. As much as I like Kumazaki's games, RtDL was the last "innovation" as it not only added co-op but it also married the Sakurai and Shimomura gameplay styles.
This was one of my many complaints with the show.
I mean, I kinda get it cause they clearly wanted a simple slice of life + monster of the week show. DM kind of needs a bit more of an over arching plot, even if it’s just conquering different planets or whatever. Which I would’ve liked, but clearly wasnt what they wanted.
Samurai being involved with the show was probably part of it though, he clearly fucking loves his own kirby games and clearly doesnt give a single shit about the ones he didn’t make. Everything kirby in smash shows this.
My biggest issue was the show was just fucking boring though, and felt like it had nothing to do with kirby besides a very small handful of character designs. Best thing to ever come out of it was that one reanimated collab.
Kind of.
Tropical freeze is definitely a better platformer than any recent Kirby games, but it's conceptually also just "more of the same".
The only real difference between the two series is that DK did try to go 3D once, but hindsight opinions on it are pretty mixed at best anyway.
Why?
First time?
You think that shit's hard to find, good luck getting a legit copy of Super Hornio Brothers.
No need to bring some YouTube shitter into the equation, Kirby's stagnation is well documented starting with Return to Dreamland. Tropical Freeze is also guilty of this coming off Returns.
I'm curious. Can you still watch anime on your 3DS or has that service stopped working years ago?
They had the entire show in many different languages there.
>The only real difference between the two series is that DK did try to go 3D once, but hindsight opinions on it are pretty mixed at best anyway.
I think the bigger difference is the "funny monkey game" only had 3 2D mainline games in the 90s, a 15 year break, then 2 modern mainline games (and Jungle Beat, whatever the fuck that was). The formula isn't as stale because new games just don't come out often enough for people to be tired of it.
Yeah, if we had a DK platformer every year, everyone would be sick of them.
What the fuck is interesting about Dark Matter? It's literally just a bunch of fucking clouds, with no motivation or character. They used it three times and didn't do anything new with it, story wise.
>it not only added co-op
Already happened with Super Star
>But 4-player co-OP!
Nightmare in Dreamland and Amazing Mirror
>outside of a few cameos the show ignores those games
Rick, Coo, and Kine were recurring characters.
>What the fuck is interesting about Dark Matter?
>No known origin, seems to have always existed
>Conquers planets but doesn't actually seem to have any interest in ruling them, only wants to shroud them in darkness
>Said darkness can also become their own miniature planes of existence or even planets if the concentration of Dark Matter is strong enough
>Is able to possess individuals, though doing so causes pretty severe mutations in their biological structure
>The entire Dark Matter cloud seems to act as a hive, fulfilling one goal set by one creature
>That creature being Zero, an utterly alien thing that is immensely strong and can only be defeated by ancient magic that the heroes don't understand
>Even this doesn't actually kill it, as it eventually is reborn into Zero Two
And this is all just from the original trilogy.
They appeared like three times.
Not him, and DM itself isnt really interesting. What people actually like about DM is that it’s an eldritch horror in a cutesy series like Kirby, it was kind of the first one the series had and it has possessions that can transform cutesy things into more monstrous forms (though this was always extremely underutilized). It was the biggest bad the series had and probably still is. Lore on it is light so it isnt ruined, it’s still mostly just a mysterious outer entity.
People love the idea of hyper evil galactic monsters in Kirby, even if they’re usually just in the last two minutes of the game.
They never did enough with that to maintain my interest and I stopped playing the series years ago, but I understand where fans are coming from.
The only good parts of the show were D3 and the snail.
They even cucked us on dark matter and Marx.
