The basic premise of both is essentially the same. Someone wants to be a super hero so they go around effectively acting like an idiot and getting beat up and put on youtube.
Kickass ended up really being more about 2 other characters and how awesome they were, though.

I'm curious where this show is going to go. I'm guessing the idol girl who was watching TV and realized it wasn't Flamenco is going to play a bigger role coming up.
I like that Red Axe is actually training him to have some real skills.
