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.

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.

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.

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!

One of my favorite shows on the Adult Swim Lineup; the series has some of the best animation (which I believe compliments the 70's style era very well) and hilarious dialog (again, with that 70's flavor. Can you dig it?).

I'll have to rent the live action movie one of these days but I enjoy re-watching the season one episodes. I'm very excited that the series has been renewed for a second season! Its epic, all of it is epic; Michael Jai White is EPIC!
