Ballmastrz 9009

If you liked SuperJail! you'll love the hell out of this. It's hilarious, the animation style is all over the place (in a good way!) and just a fun show. The characters are great. It's not incredible, but it's great.

The references to other shows and series are insane; Everything from Fist of the North Star to Spy vs. Spy, to Thomas the freakin Tank Engine are parodied. I doubt many people under 25 will catch all the references (e.g. the Vampire Hunter D episode, that anime is really old) but it really is something special that this show does.

I don't normally feel compelled to write reviews, but after discovering Ballmastrz and mostly enjoying it, I was surprised to see how little coverage it's received. Sure, it's not perfect, and can border on too simplistic at times, but as a whole this is a fun, goofy series with a very interesting world brimming underneath the surface. I think if it was given a second season and more time to flesh out its setting and characters Ballmastrz could become something special. I also ended up liking the art quite a bit; Karacas's crazy, mixed style works well with the over-the-top, anime-influenced world he's built. Episode 6 in particular has some very beautiful and fluid animation. All in all, despite some issues, I liked a lot of what Ballmastrz has to offer, and hope to see more of it in the future.

Another wild adventure in a new weird world created by the master himself; Christy Karacas. The art style is bold and detailed, the characters are funny, and the voice acting is great. It's also directed and written well, providing unique and unpredictable stories for each and every episode. No two are the same!

Haven't watched many animations but I really enjoyed the art style. The characters really mesh well and each one is very unique. Would say this is in the top ten of all shows and films I've seen. Glad I could watch it all on HBO max. Finished it all pretty quickly and I'm definitely left wanting more.:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)):):):):):)):):):):):)):):):):):):):)):):):):):)):):):):):)):):):):):):):)):):):):)):):):):)):):):):)):):):):)):):):)):):):)):):):):):):)):):):):):):):)):):):)):):):):):):)):):):):):):)):):):):)):):):):):)):):):):)):):)):):):):)):):)):):):):):)):):):))

I'm an adult who fondly remembers Voltron and Shin Chan. If you smash those together and add Nikki Nichols and Master Shake, you get this show. It's silly, snarky, and introspective. Just enough "woah, this is weird to be intriguing!" Keep it up! Favorite cartoon rn.
