....It's the first original series on Nicktoons Network, which is also billing it as the only anime TV series created and produced in the United States, rather than Asia....A cartoon show within a cartoon show, "Kappa Mikey" centers on former Cleveland-based actor Mikey Simon as he adjusts to his new role as the biggest anime star Japan has ever seen. But fame doesn't come without a price, so Mikey must figure out how to deal with mega-stardom, get along with his Japanese costars, and come to terms with the local culture (just finding an apartment in Tokyo is a challenge). "Kappa Mikey" premieres with back-to-back half-hours Saturday night.[/INDENT]
