    Phenomenal...

    Black Dynamite is pure hilarity. I agree that if you liked the movie, you will love the animated series. It's well written and beautifully drawn for a captivating and gut busting series. From an artist's standpoint, the dynamic angles and figures and bold color tones and lines instantly satisfy you visually. The characters are perfect and each fit their roles nicely. A sense of humor is required though. If you're uptight and can't laugh in the face of racism, than don't bother watching the series. Its satire engulfs how foolish stereotypes are and incorporates celebrity guests to add to each episode's flare. Hands down an awesome series that literally makes me lol every time. Can't wait to see more!

    Even funnier than the film

    It's a crime that no-one has written a review for the animated series!

    Keeping it simple - if you enjoyed the live action film of Black Dynamite and found it amusing then you'll love the animated series. A lot of the cast return to give their voices to the characters that were created in the film.

    With animation you have the freedom to do anything and the creators use this freedom so well! I'm only 4 episodes in but so far the takes on real life celebrities of the 70's (Michael Jackson, Richard Pryor, O J Simpson) is absolutely hilarious. Incorporating such icons into a manic mickey taking episode is fantastic. The writers are on fire for the gags and stories so far.

    If you enjoyed and laughed your ass off at Black Dynamite the movie, you'll do exactly the same with the animated series. It's adult humour all the way.

    underrated-Ite

    Michael Jai White is an underrated actor who no doubt should have played Luke Cage and still could a Luke Cage in my opinion.

    Black dynamite and so-called black based and karate show that is non-stop fun and immature content. This was one of the greatest shows. It features many known actors doing voice work as well staring MJW the Kung fu master.

    It also features Cedric Yarbrough, know as the infamous DuBois from Boondocks.

    BD is no doubt one of the greatest, action, fighting, adult show of all-time but because its so-called "black" it doesn't get the popularity it deserves.

    Pretty good

    So I just saw this thing. And it was pretty good. The animation is wonderfull and so is the color palette . The plots for for each episode are strange, but creative and different. Characters are stereotypical, but i cant really imagine it working otherwise. The jokes, although aren't very often funny, they still work in theory. It's also important to know that the show doesn't use being black as a punchline. Instead, the blackness of its cast uses as an explanation to all possible questions. This show is not masterpiece, but it's still great and worth watching.

    Underrated cultural touchstone

    The series is written so well with jokes/cultural references firing faster than Black Dynamites machine gun. This is a masterclass in Blacksploitation, taking the genre to its ultimate climax.
