Ballmastrz 9009

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.

Maybe if I was a big anime nerd I'd love it, but alas I am not.

Either way the show is so gorgeous, like I could just stare at this animation for hours on end, regardless of the pretty eh content in the episodes (at least for me).

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.

Ballmastrz 9009 is yet another extremely creative show from Adult Swim. Christy Karacas has outdone himself with Ballmastrz for I considered it to be a vast improvement of his previous work SuperJail!. While the art style of SuperJail! made the show rather a visual assault, the same style works wonders for the world of Ballmastrz. It conveys the frantic energy of the post-apocalyptic world and the zanyness of its cast. However, this show does need more time to flesh out and endear us to its characters, the character of Crayzar being the stand out of this season. I would highly recommend people to watch Ballmastrz. I also believe that, given proper time, Ballmastrz will become something great.

Christy Karacas knocks it out of the weird park into the 5th dimention once again, if you havent seen superjail or this then WATCH THEM RIGHT NOW Cant say enough about how wonderfully weird gorey funny and strange this series is.
