Superjail!

Superjail! reminds me of the brilliant animation that one found 20 years ago in those animation festivals that toured college campuses. Sure, it is twisted and sick, but it is so unpretentious and loyal to its own universe that it is simply genius.

From the massive body counts to the animation that makes 'Yellow Submarine' look drug-free, Superjail! is a gift from above.

I cannot believe how lucky we are that this network, whose bread and butter is cartoons for children, turns around and embraces the cutting edge while little ones sleep. I wish that I could do more than just write this to show the network my support.

But is. The premise alone is insane as is most of the plot. But there's something magical and enjoyable about it.

This is perhaps the most violent of all the Adult Swim shows, and it's filled with plenty of outrageous jokes, which combined with the bizarre-looking animation, it almost ends feeling like a fever dream.

But it works. It was entertaining to watch despite (or maybe because) of all the weirdness and extreme violence. At least nobody can deny it was a very imaginative series.

Shame it was cancelled in such an abrupt manner.

"Superjail" is a great cartoon from Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block that combines psychedelic imagery with a bucket load of graphic violence. Focusing on the exploits of an insane jail warden and his crew, Superjail is perfect for cult audiences.

One of the best parts of this series is its use of imaginative imagery. The show packs as many weird images as it can into a fifteen minute cartoon, creating a dense visual style in which a single frame can contain multiple jokes.

The psychedelic visuals coexist with a flood of graphic violence, as prisoners kill one another or fall victim to the warden's various schemes. At times, the show comes across as the unholy offspring of an R. Crumb comic and the Happy Tree Friends. Although some reviewers have suggested this show is best watched under the influence of drugs, the amount of blood makes it at best questionable eye candy.

Ultimately, this show is best appreciated by cult audiences.

Superjail! is without a doubt one of the best Adult Swim cartoons ever made, I mean really, guys, really! The Warden, Jared, Alice, The Twins, Stingray, and other characters are all cool! I love the writing, I love the blood and glore violence, and I love the variety of the background, everything about this show is simply cool! Give this one a 9.8/10
