Of all the animation I've ever seen come through Cartoon Network, none stands out in my mind quite like OK K. O. Let's Be Heroes. There are a couple reaosns for this, but one that want to talk about primarily in this write up.
OK K. O. is not a TV show, as we understand it. It's a loose collection of references to other cartoons, anime, and video games. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, except that the show fundamentally fails to connect with it's youngfer audience. The references are almost all things from the 90s and EARLY 2000s, that most children wouldn't get. This is where it becomes clear that this show was never for kids: It's for people in their 30s who get their political views from Twitter and Tumblr.
It's not that I don't like the show, but much like Steven Universe, it's very obvious that this was written for a very specific crowd and random children were not one of them. It continues the proud tradition of western animators trying to ape Japanese Anime without actually understanding why anime works.

A show about the life and times of girls with very large bosoms and their male partners.
I do like the show. It's cute, sexy, and best of all short. You can finish both seasons in an hour. But the obvious problem is that it becomes repetitive and samey very quickly. As much as I enjoy how soothing the calmness of the series is, I can't help but want more. Maybe I want more explicit sexual content, or a story that lasts longer than a minute. Just a conflict of some kind is it. But that's SOL for you. I recommend Tawawa, but with the caveat that you will grow bored of it before long.

It's campy, it's cheesy, all the characters overact and that is what makes it good. Street Fighter doesn't pretend to be a serious drama or an epic tale of good vs evil. It's an action comedy and it makes full use of that label.
Raul Julia gives a stunning performance despite his cancer ravaged body and Jean-Claude Van Damme plays a very believable Colonel Guile. In truth almost all of the castings are perfect aside from some necessary changes to the origins.
More movies should be like this, not afraid to be over the top to compensate for the obvious weaknesses.
