It's been one year since I found this show and FOR CHRIST SAKES THIS SHOW RIPPED OFF POPPETS TOWN which is way better than this, and this show is a NICK JR. VERSION OF POPPETS TOWN, anyways I never liked this show ever since I found it, I did watch a couple of episodes of this show, and MY GOD THOSE EPISODES RIPPED OFF POPPETS TOWN EPISODES, like, Angel Food. That episode Is just a ripped-off to a Poppets Town Episode called A Road for a Toad, anyways I did watch some more Kuu Kuu Harajuku Episodes and that Episode is called Drums of Doom, and GOD SAKE that Episode Is just a ripped-off to a Poppets Town Episode called Naka-Naka-Steppa-Clicka and Patty the Fairy, You can imagine this show Ripped Off Poppets Town because this show and Poppets Town is Japanese influenced which means those show was animated from a different country But it was originally made in Japan, I did do more research on this show It was based on Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers brand, which I never heard of it until now, but here's the reason why Kuu Kuu Harajuku ripped off Poppets Town, Harajuku City looks like PoppetsTown because they both look the same, The Characters act like Poppets Town Characters, G is basically as Blooter, Their Leaders. Angel gets too excited she is more like Patty, they both like cheerleaders. And I HATE THIS SHOW SO BAD BECAUSE OF THE ANIMATION. ANYWAYS THE THEME SONG IS TRASH THE ANIMATION IS S**t" THE STORYS ARE TERRIBLE THE VOICE ACTORS ARE BAD AND THE CHARACTERS HAD NO GOOD PERSONALITY I'LL NEVER WATCH THIS SHOW AGAIN I'LL RATHER WATCH POPPETS TOWN INSTEAD OF THIS WEEABOO TRASH!!

Just no.

This show is a prime example of what happens when you base your knowledge on japan based on their kawaii culture. This show is Japanese influenced, yet there is NOTHING really inspired by Japanese culture but just influence by kawaii, that's it. Speaking of this, i don't think this show doesn't know actually know Japanese fashion, because the harajuku fashion HG5 have isn't really harajuku based, but instead looks like fairy kei and lolita fashion. The characters are ugly and bland, boring and one dimensional. The villains have the most unimaginable names ever. And the episode were boring and uninteresting. The song (especially the theme song) are very obnoxious and annoying to listen to. Not to mention the show overuses the word 'kawaii' so much it get irritating real fast. Overall i give this a 2/10, i hate how has nothing to do with Japanese culture other than just being kawaii and its westernization of it. If you wanna make something Japanese influenced, don't base it on what makes it popular because there is more to japan than their "kawainess" and anime.

Totemo Kawaii!

I really love this show! The only problem is that the animation isn't that great, but the animation is never good the first season of any cartoon. It's perfect for any age group(my 12 year old sisters love it!). I think that the best quality of the show is its bright colors and creative locations. The girls travel all over to play their music, and each backdrop is more creative than the last. There's a good mix of plot and action, and each character has something special they bring to the group. No one is left just sitting on the sidelines while the others fight for her. There's also the creative harajuku fashion, which is great for any kid who loves to get creative with his or her style. This show can be enjoyed by both boys and girls, although there is a heavier lean towards the girl demographic.

This is an improvement compare to Shuriken School.

Kuu Kuu Harajuku is a fun, fast paced show that has a respect for its audience by not being too much in their faces. The show has a very interesting premise, about a group of pop artist and their manager going on kawaii adventures (pun intended). Creative stories like this remind me of the underrated Canadian show, Grojband, it is debatable if this show falls in that category. What's great about this show is a few of the characters. G is the main character, she is a unique and memorable leader, and I honestly do like how she helps her teammates in a calm manner. Out of the other characters, 3 of them stick out to me as absolutely great characters: General No Fun is the anti-fun Nazi that is surprisingly really funny by how childish and comedic he can be. Chuy is the Boo-parodying Pomerania, seems sometimes to me as like a good image to G. The final one is the bubble wizard, Madame Shhhh, she gets some laughs mainly when she uses her jokes or tricks on some of the Harajuku girls. The other characters of the show I honestly think are OK, that includes the manager guy named Rudie, I mainly have seen him as witty comic relief, but he isn't a bad character. There is even that Zoo Keeper guy, who is also an OK character, especially being picky of G's friends, he can honestly be a little bit of a jerk. Something that I somewhat had a problem with in this show is that the the people can't stand this show. Like Ricky Sprocket, Planet Sheen and Breadwinners, I love them but people takes them WAY to seriously to the point where they had to treat them like the worst things they saw in their lives. However, the writers do sometimes a good job at making a different way of looking at these clichés and jokes by following the good stories that they write for the show. One final note that I have is the animation of the show, it is fast paced and it seems to fit the show's characters and premise decently. Overall, The Loud House is a good show(not great) that is worth checking out if you have interest.

Overhated, Overlooked, Forgotten.

For what Kuu Kuu Harajuku does is that it is an overhated series that gets claimed to be a HHPAY ripoff and has a poor start despite improving in later seasons. The characters can be likable, the villains can be interesting, a unique way to have their recording on Australia and Canada, and yet Nickelodeon treated this show as an acquisition dirty. It's not really an insult to Japan as it's more inspired by it and how it can be pretty relatable at times with the characters. Season 1 isn't great but it gets better in the later seasons of HJ5 & that it also has some connection to previous episodes. However, this show definitely needs a 4th season after leaving off with a cliffhanger as the crew who worked on the show wanted that to happen but the problem of that is how the doll sales didn't work out and how it failed on the US broadcast despite getting good treatment on Nick Jr, leading to the show's cancellation. Not only that but it used to have a 6.2 here until it got review bombed by someone who used multiple accounts, which took things way too far in my book. But the show while it doesn't have a good start with the flash animation, very bright visuals, and oversayings of the word kawaii, It managed to get good, with season 2 about HJ5 finishing their concert and season 3 about their world tour as it changed it's animation from Flash to ToonBoom, got less brighter and became more vibrant, limited the use of saying Kawaii and also it manages to still have that Harajuku style on the known fashion district to be different and special to fit on that kawaii aesthetic like it's artstyle being similar to the likes of Lalaloopsy and Sanrio. The music can be catchy too while having it's use on 2 vocalists which is unique and that it can also be pretty surprising too.
