Oddballs: Die Seltsamen Abenteuer Von James & Max

People saying this is bad are likely not the right age group for it. The show is well-animated and has a very fun creative concept. The voice acting of some characters is great, and it's passable on the main three characters. The humour is more casual, there's not many laugh-out-loud moments, but it's not awful, it's just not supposed to be a full-on comedy for older kids or young adults. This however also brings a problem as the episodes are quite slow and not really very interesting.

Some of the plot ideas for episodes are really good, the synopsis's got me excited to watch them. But the episodes themselves feel like a bit of a let down. James gets turned into a phone - hilarious. But the episode isn't very interesting or funny and it pretty predictable. (Mom tells him not to get damaged for 24 hours, anddd you've figured out the rest). There's not many twists or good jokes to make up for that.

If you're an adult who likes cartoons like Adventure Time, Owl House, or even Looney Tunes, you probably won't like this, it's clearly aimed at a younger audience. The crocodile is cute and kids will like his mascot-like personality and energy. James is kind of a rude brat but has some good animations, Echo is... well she's kinda dull but she's not really the focus.

Overall, it's not for us, it's for kids, and for kids it's.... Okay. And it looks nice.

James has tried really hard with the script but I doesn't work. The shows plot isn't clear enough for the audience and isn't that special as the plot for each episode is basic and unique. The character doesn't seem interesting and is partly based off his YouTube persona with a bit of tweaking making him small are more childish. The only good character on the show is Max as he has a more interesting and unique backstory making the show better.

In conclusion, the show is okay and isn't mind blowing. The character surrounding the main character are more interesting than him and make the episodes more fun.

I want to say that I'm a 39-year-old man who enjoys watching cartoons. The last cartoon I watched on Netflix is Cuphead. I'm also subscribed to James' YouTube channel. When he announced that he got a show up on YouTube - after two years of working on it and shopping it around - of course, I'm going to watch the show.

So far I'm on episode 5 and I find it oddly wholesome. James wanted to go for the younger demographic, mainly kids. I have no issues with it either.

From what I've seen, it's a season of YouTube episodes for kids and YouTube subscribers alike. I got a few laughs out of this show and, if there's a second season, I'll watch it.

This show won't be for everyone and that's okay. Your mileage may vary from opinion to opinion.

This show is by no means perfect, but it annoys me to see so many people giving it 1 star after only watching the first episode. Obviously the show is aimed at a younger audience, but that doesn't automatically make it bad. After finishing the whole season, I personally think it was really fun and honestly much better than what we saw in the trailers.

I think the people blindly giving the show bad reviews should at least watch the whole show before leaving reviews.

I was especially impressed with the animation, it goes far beyond anything we've seen on James' YouTube channel and it's very interesting to see how far he's come over the last few years, and I think you should all give it a try. Obviously, not everyone will like the show, but I'd say it's still worth a watch.

To start, I've watched theodd1sout's videos on YouTube a while ago, and to see him grow to get his own Netflix show was astounding. His animation quality has improved drastically over the years from simple stills on a blank background to fully fledged animated characters against vibrant scenes.

But anyways, I decided to watch an episode to see how I liked it and to be honest it wasn't really for me. It's not because it's bad or anything, which it most definitely is not, but it's because I'm not the intended audience. The humor is more for a younger audience, so I didn't really find the jokes to be super funny and kind of cringed at some of them. But again, it's for a younger audience, so I'm willing to set that aside.

Visually, the animation is of a high quality. What I've seen in this show was incredibly impressive, with fluid and smooth movements, probably on a higher level than that of some more well-known cartoons nowadays. The simple design was appealing to view and wasn't overly colorful and dramatic.

In terms of audio / voicing, the sound effects worked well and weren't used in excess or in inappropriate scenarios. The voice acting in my opinion was pretty average, I didn't really have any major qualms with it. Overall, nothing too much to say about the audio which is a good thing.

In short, it's a great show for your kids! If you're in an older age group though I don't think you'll get the same level of enjoyment out of it, but it's still a fairly good show, nonetheless. I look forward to seeing what else James comes up with next and wish him luck on his future endeavors.
