Just watched the six released episodes on Sling with my kids and we really enjoyed them. Lord Boxman is fantastic and Jim Cummings is perfect casting for the role.

OK K.O.! San Diego Comic-Con details.
Looks like they're going to have a panel and show off some "exclusive content".
Not to mention that "lifesize" replica of Gar's Bodega you can actually go inside for free swag.

And here's a fresh 30-sec ad for the premiere:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMsonBDYZHo

Not much new we haven't already seen, though.


EDIT: Cartoon Network released a new clip online focusing on K.O., showcases new scenes from episodes yet to air:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efSno70GSos

EDIT: Enid too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xauGfp7-ytk

EDIT: here we have Steven Universe's Shelby Rivera giving viewers a tour of the SDCC Gar's Bodega booth:
https://twitter.com/cartoonnetwork/status/888905220071337984
Pretty sure Shelby voices Dendy on the show. Two CN shows to her credit and already typecast as the short nerd girl, oh dear!

EDIT: and here's Rad
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M206ieNVH30

EDIT: Mr. Gar's next

Is Cartoon Network seriously going to burn through 22 episodes in an entire month? That's almost the entire first season if they're doing 26 episode seasons.

I'd hate it if this is just them airing these episodes and then having OK KO disappear for the next few months. I feel like that's what they did with Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and the Ben 10 reboot.

OK KO feels like it could be a show with a lot of legs for Cartoon Network, maybe even something on the same level as Gumball. I hope this month of OK KO is their way of pushing the show.

CN did that with Ridonculous Race, which has 22 min episodes. Just aired episodes every weekday and finished the season in a month, and because they took a long time to renew the show, production on the next season is barely starting, like, now. Two years later. You really can't understand CN scheduling at all (besides well, MORE TEEN TITANS)

Hey Belgian, the OK KO tumblr put up a nice graphic and more schedule info you can use for the OT.

6:10pm, though? I feel if that's really the case (the blog posts emphasizes the episodes will air immediately after TTG!) then anyone relying on DVR for that week are going to be screwed out of the first 5 minutes of each airing.

EDIT: only just noticed the tumblr blog's banner of an overhead shot of Lakewood Plaza Turbo... the fucking plaza has an AIRPORT right on the roof?!?

These two episodes really highlight how wildly different the show looks depending on the storyboarders. Sibling Rivalry was another parade of WAY off-model animation and out-there facial expressions, just like the storyboarders' previous episode You're Everybody's Sidekick. I think I prefer the more consistent style of I Am Dendy though, but maybe it's because I thought Dendy was a great character.

Either way, I like that the show can go wild with its style, even if it might end up rubbing people the wrong way. It definitely benefits a pure comedy cartoon like this.

Guess what, it's time for CN's regular "let's not follow the schedule" show! Episodes 11-14 are in the wild, now, apparently before Episodes 9 and 10. Oops. Be careful if you don't wanna get spoiled on some gags! (They're a pretty good batch of episodes)

YOU ARE RAD Minor Spoiler:
Crinkly Wrinkly sighting!

-----

On "official" news: CN released a bonus POW Card: Dendy's!

And the OK-KO Tumblr continues releasing some pretty cool stuff, including this promo art for one of tonight's episodes, to join the "My Dad Can Beat Up Your Dad" one from a while back.

BODEGAMEN!! Make sure to watch OK KO at 6:15 EST tonight for another ep boarded by @ryannshannon and me. I voice Fishdude, Gary and the Mimic in this one!!

Ian and Toby letting me do voices on the show was an absolute dream come true, and a gift I can't ever truly repay!

Also, a heads up: seems VOD platforms have uploaded next week's new episodes early:

You Get Me
You Are Rad
Just Be A Pebble
Presenting Joe Cuppa

are currently available online (can confirm on Spectrum TV mobile app).

EDIT: wow, I waited way too long to hit "Post"

I have to admit I thought the first episodes were mediocre and the next few were kinda shit but I pushed through to the latest that aired in the back half of the week and have been pretty happy with it. I don't care for the animation sometimes. The illustrations have this crayon look to them that seems so odd. But still a decent show for me now.

Really love the Commander Keen reference, the Mario 64 reference and the "Stussy S" that appears every now and then.

One of my favorite voices in voice acting. Always seems so comedic to me and very enjoyable.

Just discovered the show. I was really surprised by how much I liked it and by how much I laughed.
I'll definitely be checking out more episodes as they come.

So how come K.O.'s VA is different in some episodes?
Click to expand...

The production order of the episodes so far is different from the actual airing and chronological order they're supposed to be in. Those episodes Stephanie Nadolny voiced were made (I guess I should say finished?) earlier than the ones that were voiced by Courtney Taylor. So that would explain why the voice acting flip-flops between them as they air. But I couldn't tell you why there are two voice actresses doing the role.

Holy cow, I know I already talked about the varying art styles, but episodes 13 & 14 (Just Be A Pebble and Presenting Joe Cuppa) look totally different from the rest of the show and each other. The first one has a cleaner digital style and the latter occasionally had a staccato off-model style that reminded me of web cartoons from the 2000s/early 2010s. I wonder if they were produced alongside the previously-released online shorts for the show, which would explain the big differences. The previous 12 episodes at least looked like they were produced together.

Not saying this is bad. In fact, I really, really liked how clean Just Be A Pebble looked and Presenting Joe Cuppa felt very unique with some shockingly fluid fight scenes.

This is partly affected by Ian's openly stated belief that so long as you recognise the character, it's 'on-model'. That is to say, a consistent art and animation style is secondary to just letting the animators work as they prefer.

Loving this show so far, can't believe it's on every day of the week. I'm a little worried about it's future since it's on "oddball scheduling" CN.

I also can't believe Ian is from the town I grew up in, and based Lakewood Plaza on the diverse community. Yay Columbia, MD! Even crazier is that his past collaborator, Rebecca Sugar, is from my area too... although that should have been a given since SU takes place in "Delmarva".

Makes me wish OK and US existed in the same universe. Please don't mess this up CN.

Can I watch these eps on the Cartoon Network website?
Click to expand...

You can but you need an existing (and supported) cable subscription to see anything beyond the first two episodes. Of course, if you already have a cable subscription you probably have access to the episodes on VOD. Otherwise, you'll need to hit up iTunes/GooglePlay/AmazonPrime and buy the episodes.

Know Your Mom, one of the episodes from next week, is one of the best episodes so far. It's got the most shockingly morbid joke the show has ever done,
lots of backstory for Carol (including the exact same Cowboy-Bebop-inspired flashback from before)
, some genuinely sweet moments, and
an incredible 2000s nu-metal singing/referencing elderly villain.

We're Captured is also a fantastic
Lord Box Man
episode that
introduces two new recurring villains that are almost-guaranteed future fan favorites
and has some fun character interactions.

So far, the show seems to bounce between episodes with loose plots featuring tons of crazy moments (ex.You're Everybody's Sidekick) to more traditional focused episodes (ex. I Am Dendy) that are still funny in their own way. I think I prefer the latter, but they usually don't go as wild with their visual creativity.

Edit: OH MY GOD, spoilers for Know Your Mom, but
Succulentus, the numetal cactus, is voiced by Jonathan Davis, the lead singer of KoRn
. That's utterly amazing.

Know Your Mom and We're Captured are probably the best two episodes of the series so far. (or at least among them). What a one two punch <3
Can't wait for more villain stuff! Professor Venomous and Fink both seem to be great characters.

I should probably rewatch We've Got Pests / Legends of Mr. Gar, because while both have cute moments individually I felt they're some of the weakest episodes so far? Not bad, just "eh". Can't put my exact finger on why, though.

We've got Pests:
The ending sequence is FANTASTIC
Legends of Mr. Gar:
And any episode with Crinkly Wrinkly and Skateboard Nerd can't be bad by default.
