Setting
The story of the show takes place in a world where humans have the ability to transform into their colorful creature counterparts known as the Mixels which occurs within babies after being born. There are infinite types of Mixel counterparts and each Mixel is assigned to an element or theme which is divided into tribes, such as ice, electricity, rock, fire, and more. While some humans use their Mixel transform powers for fun or small mundane tasks, other humans use it to defeat threats but mostly the dark, uncreative, and uncool enemy monsters known as Nixels (no one knows where these monsters came from), the type of humans that defeated those very Nixels were called Mixel Warriors.

Plot
The show mainly focuses on Caramille Merryweather (Camillot human and genderbend counterpart) and the rest of the series 7, 8 and 9 mixels human counterparts as they now begin their path to become a Mixel Warrior at one of the best high schools in the US known as Mixopolis Academy (Mixels Academy for short) to achieve their long life dreams of being Mixels Warriors, while transforming into their mixels counterparts to defeat threats and nixels, they also learned there's more in life other then just becoming a future mixel warrior, while having misadventures with each other.

Differences in The Japanese Version
To not confuse or scare Japanese viewers, but the staff was forced to make changes and edits:


 * Mixopolis is located in somewhere in Japan instead of US
 * Most of the human counterparts' names and surnames are Japanized in the dub (eg. Caramille Merryweather renamed as Chiemi Maeda). However, some keep their surname and names.
 * The fight and death scenes are somewhat slightly tone down.

Trivia

 * Because the show is set place in a alternate universe, there were changes.
 * Humans now have the ability to transform into mixels.
 * Most of humans are not the same gender as their Mixels counterpart (eg. Caramille is a girl while her Mixel counterpart, Camillot is a boy).
 * All the series 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 human counterparts are not brothers or sisters meaning that majorly of them are not related to each other. However, some of them are now cousins and some of them are still siblings.
 * Human counterparts of the leaders are just rewritten to not be leaders of their tribe.


 * The series 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 human and mixels counterparts still appear in the series. However, series 7, 8, and 9 is the main focus (mostly Caramille).
 * The background Mixels' (from the 2014 series) human and Mixel counterparts still appear in the series but just like their role from the previous series, they're used as background characters (excluding the flexer teacher and Booger human counterparts, who are now used as supporting characters).


 * According to David P. Smith, most of the series 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 human counterparts are about 14 or 15 years old meaning that everyone could be in the 9th or 8th grade.
 * The students in Mixels Academy wears uniforms, which consists of a light blue and white buttoned-up coat with white button attached to a dark blue ribbon in the inside. The male uniform consists of dark blue pants while the girl uniform consists of a dark blue skirt. There is also the Mixels Academy logo on the right of the coat.
 * Fan-made Mixels appears in the series. However, they are normally used as background or minor characters.


 * Despite being an anime (or half anime), there are no Japanese workers working on the show.


 * According to John Fang, he first came up with the idea for Mixels Academy.
