Black Dynamite

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.

First off, I LOVE the movie. One of the funniest things ive ever watched. This is terrible though. Boring, rehashed plots (Black Jaws, Black Warriors etc.) The joke is... They're black. They take every popular black joke or pop culture reference, from the history of black comedy and pound it into the ground a million times (Im Rick James B***h (LOLOLOLOL), Everything Richard Pryor ever said, Michael Jackson used to be black LOLOLO). Not funny. Not original.

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!

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.

This show is an exaggeration of black culture in the 70's, which was notoriously misogynistic and homophobic. The writers aren't going to rewrite history so certain groups don't get offended. It quite literally is indiscriminate in its offensiveness, and everybody's balls get busted at one point or another. If you can't handle that, watch a different show. This show has incredibly vibrant and aesthetically pleasing animation, its an interesting and fresh take on the blaxploitation genre, and is easily one of the funniest and most ridiculous shows I've ever seen.
