Notice what the strong opinions describe in other reviews?
It'll get someone to think that the show runs solely on its jokes, and considering the fact that the characters have little of actual "character" as they switch from sketch to sketch, (which isn't a bad thing at first, but makes for quite a risk to take,) it would definitely be right.
Technically, right now kapow is pretty mediocre. Certainly not offensively bad by any means, but if the jokes don't hit with you, then you most likely won't leave with any impression. For me, however, I loved this show's humor. A mix of crude toilet stupidity, humor mocking people, and humor mocking the earnest struggles of life is exactly my kind of humor- but if it isn't yours, then this show isn't yours, since it doesn't have anything else to offer.
The animation, while sweet to a jaded and insensitive eye, has some bright colors that might bother those sensitive to eyestrain; but not to an obnoxious degree.
The voices and voice acting, though talented, has many voices that would be heard as jarring to anyone who isn't having a fun time watching, but for most it adds to the charm if they're enjoying the ride.
Since the humor is so hit or miss, it's really all the fault of bad writing that seems to de-optimize this otherwise nice cartoon. While I can't see it hitting the big screen or every little streaming service, it deserves to be helped up by comedic strength that can get this show to be loved by everyone, not just me, a little cult following, and that one youtube profile with the moon x ice cream yaoi profile picture. Don't look for it. If you've got the time to spend washing your eyeballs from that cursed image, then I'd say you have time to check out the show yourself, and see whether the jokes hit or miss for you.
