Karma's World is a cartoon created by Ludacris, based on his daughter. There's been a lot of talk about representation in western animation, and somehow, the cartoons for the little ones always succeed more than the others.

Animation: Another beautifully animated show by Brown Bag Films. The special effects when Karma performs songs in her head look great, and the hair textures are realistic. 2/2

Voice acting: The cast is a breath of fresh air as it doesn't recycle the same voice actors from other shows. They sound natural. 2/2

Music: A huge part of the show. Karma wants to be a rapper when she grows up and is often shown free styling, sometimes performing concerts in her head. The great voice acting on the part of Karma's VA helps these raps a lot. 2/2

Writing: For some reason, the show is rated TV-Y on Netflix. In my opinion, it should be TV-Y7 because it's much more realistic and nuanced than other shows for the TV-Y crowd. They talk a lot about growing up, wanting to change your name, and micro aggressions. There's an episode where Karma's nonblack friends make fun of her hair, touch it without her permission etc. We learn that black hair is beautiful and you shouldn't listen to what mean people say. 2/2

Characters: Karma is a very realistic and relatable protagonist. She's not a 100% perfect know it all, but she's not entitled and bratty either. She's perfectly flawed in her own Karma way. And her Family is great too. They aren't abusive or unrealistically perfect. They're just right. And Keys is pretty funny. However, it gets a point deducted because of Karma's classmates. If I'm being honest, they're pretty terrible people. Carrie B makes fun of Karma's name and Switch, ostensibly Karma's best friend, touches her hair without permission. If you ask me, Karma should move to yet another school where she won't have peers that do antiblack micro aggressions, 1/2

overall: 9/10.

Love her character: beautiful, positive, kind, imperfect but willing to learn and be better. Talented, smart, brown skinned girl with big hair. Love it.

This is a very entertaining show for all children. (my 6.5 y/o loves it) My daughter is white, but it's important for all children to see a black girl as the main character. It teaches important lessons on many "growing up" issues. And the issues of race and micro-aggressions are important for all children, so that they don't make their black friends feel "different".

It might be intended for black girls to learn to be proud, and stand up for themselves, but it also teaches their friends not to treat their black friends as "different" or "not normal" It's hard for a white parent to teach these things to our children, but a cool, fun show like this makes it easier.

I only have watched a few episodes with my children and we love the show. As it is realistic and has so many lessons within the episodes. My son first watched it in school to learn about bullying and he wanted to show it to me. I love that it's teaches him that bullying is wrong, that people can be unique, to love his hair and micro aggressions. We will continue to watch the show.

So I watched this as a joke with my sister but we were not prepared for this insult to the concept of literature so I sufferd for three months by myself roasting and rotting inside watching this so yay you now suffer with me.

So now I have made many jokes about things in certain episodes but there are fundamental issues with this show that I must voice my rage and apathy

The fist being dialogs. Dear LORD do none of the character act like real people. An example: Karma the main lead acts bratty and annoying npc. INFACT all the characters act like this making everyone unlikable. I watched a video about bad dialog and every mistake in in the book is here. From forced comic relief to mustache twirling bad guy talk to just things that no person says. The only good that comes from binging this show is how to identify bad dialog and how to win in roast battles.

Number B all the characters who are in middle school don't act like that. As a middle schooler myself I find it weird that the main lead for a show for preschoolers is in six grade. But does she not act like that. Whenever there is a conflict Karma doesn't act like a sane middle schooler and instead behaves like a child. I get that this if for 5 yr old and not anybody above the the age of 9. But it begs the question HAVE HER I FIRT GRADE At MOST.

With number B/2 The adults act like children that it makes me question why are they old enough to vote

Anyway number pi the plots of these episodes make me question what life like is for sane people in th9s universe. Because the plots get way to ridiculous for a five year old to suspend displblif . And then the the confit magical fixes itself up because the lead of this show is apparently God. And for the three people that payed attention and had question about how messed up these plots are I have to go to spoiler so to number googleplexiia

The animation loot empty. It's a cgi kids show so of couse the animation was made in a sweat shop in Wyoming but they just recycle the same 6 baground chatchers . And the make everything empty so whenever there is a crowd scene it looks like the their survivor of a zombie apocalypse. But I guess I have to to random people somewhere so the amatimatiors can live of of anything that isn't packing peanuts because scenes that make sense to be alone they always Have two random background chatertes ironing somebody fighting with whatever antagonistic not really threshold the ai forgot 12 episodes ago

so moral of the story don't watch this if your not being paid to talk about the diversity in this show because all that matters in the kid show industry is the message and the message here is how not to write a show.

I love that it addresses issues that many kids face but don't know how to deal with. It covers anything from hair styles to bullying to friendships. SO many topics that I never knew what to say when I faced them as a kid. It also promotes friendships, honesty, loyalty and some positive things that are lacking in so many other shows. A positive influence, Great music and a nice approach to family as well. I love this show!

Karma raps in classroom? There is no way she can do this in real school. She focuses too much time on rapper music instead of learning knowledge and life skills like budgeting.

It's a kid show that teaches kids to be themselves. Obviously every episode is about how ever someone says affects her personally. Some people are saying she's too sensitive but we all think about what others say...the key is too learn how to not let it get to you. I think this shoe teaches that.

This show is so relevant as it addresses so many social issues kids face in a very entertaining way. My kids have watched this twice already. Well done to the creative team!

Karma's World left me VERY impressed. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the catchy beats and colorful animations from the first episode. As she gets older, I foresee us revisiting this series. Many have commented on how "sensitive" Karma seems to be with the challenges and obstacles that fall in her path, but what middle-school child knows how to fully process, accept, and navigate their feelings? Give some credit. This is a KIDS' show. Overall, the lessons learned and the promoting of self-confidence in this show stand as such an encouraging movement. It is inspiring to see all of the ethinic diversity and a variety of bodies and styles of all kinds. I hope to see more seasons of this work!

That girl (karma) it's so SENSITIVE, Would've Given 0 Stars if i could, But i guess it won't let me.

Wouldn't surprise me if that show gets cancelled, But what ever, Just came to give my review to this show, My kids WILL NOT BE WATCHING THIS AGAIN, I rather them watch The Barbie Series, It's more EDUCATIONAL than this, and ZERO SENSITIVE.....
