While the reactions towards Kikia were mixed, its novelty was praised. Noticeably, westerners reported that they were more scared of it due to the fact that it is in a language that they can not even read to begin with. Yet, others ended up being more confused than scared especially when they were wondering what was the purpose of it. Either way, Kikia still managed to remain popular on the internet due to it being the first of many [[screamer]]s to come.

The animation begins with a still of a crudely drawn boy sitting on a patch of grass looking at the sky. Two lines of Chinese text appear letter by letter that read, "''是否已經很久..... 沒仔細看看天空.....''", translating to "''How long haven't you..... Taken a look at the sky and daydreamed.....''" The view then changes and shows the boy walking down what appears to be a city street lined with simple buildings with two more lines of text displayed saying "''走在街上.......... 你看到.......''", translating to "''Walking down the street.......... You see.......''" Then, a flashing picture of a ghastly being with white eyes and an open mouth pops up alongside a loud scream (see Trivia). After the screamer, the yellow text "'''<font color="yellow">Kikia</font>'''" appears, thus ending the flash animation.
