Mappy was a 2013 animated web series launched as part of Bandai Namco Entertainment's ShiftyLook project. Originally announced as Mappy: The Beat and based on the arcade game of the same name, it was written by Scott Kurtz and Kris Straub—the same team behind Blamimation—and animated by Alex and Lindsay Small-Butera.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Three decades after a particularly heinous art theft by Goro and the Meowkies in The '80s, which led the police-mouse Mappy to disgracefully retire from the Micro Police, Mappy decides to pursue a new job as a security guard at the Nyamco office building. As he discovers, Nyamco is actually a front for Goro, who has become a "respectable businessman" following the Meowkies' string of successful thefts. Goro explains that he's concocting a new evil scheme, and wants to hire Mappy specifically to figure it out (because, he quietly reveals, he misses him). Mappy begrudgingly takes the job and, along with his coworkers Dig Dug and Sky Kid, works to reveal the corporate conspiracy behind the Nyamco building.For the most part, the Mappy web series is an irreverent Work Com where each episode features the antics of various other Namco guest stars, to whom Mappy acts as the Straight Man. Simultaneously, a Myth Arc builds up to the reveal the true nature of Goro's plan, culminating in a four-part finale, "Merry Heistmas". It's been favorably compared to Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, just with Namco characters instead of Hanna-Barbera ones.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The series ran for 13 episodes on ShiftyLook's YouTube channel from July 2013 to January 2014, with the site's March 2014 closure preventing any chance of a follow-up. Following the site and its YouTube channel being taken down, the series is officially no longer accessible. However, a fan mirror of the series can be found on the channel "ShiftyLook Forever". The series' iteration of Mappy, voiced by Kurtz, also made a brief cameo appearance in the Bravoman web animation.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The ShiftyLook web series has examples of: | |
