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.

Ballmasterz 9009 serves as an anime sports parody. I love this show just because of how funny, entertaining, and visually interesting it can be. The art style is extremely similar to "Super jail" because the show is by the same creator, I like the art style though and I think it is better than super jails, having thicker lines and what-not. The characters are lovable and funny, and show is a crazy acid trip. One thing I really like about Ballmasterz 9009 is how visually interesting it is. The characters and backgrounds look glamorous. One thing with the show is that the animation can sometimes be an 11/10, with certain scenes that are 2d but seem 3d, and this may be due to budget, but sometimes the animation can be very poor, but this is rarely, so the show balances the animation quality a lot. Overall I recommend this show, there is a lot to admire about it and yet it is still a goofy hilarious show to watch.

This is literally one of the most insane things I have ever seen, and thats not a bad thing. This show is one of my favorite narrative driven shows Adult Swim has ever produced, and I tuned in every single Sunday (well, Monday, technically) to see it. Its not for everyone, some people can't appreciate the hand-drawn absurdist animation style, but if you know anything about animation, this show has some of the most beautifully drawn sequences I have ever seen. Character personalities start off flanderized (somehow), but nearly every character gets their fair share of character development, all culminating in the season (hopefully not series) finale.

I highly recommend to check out 3 episodes (40 mins total) and if you dont like it, you dont like it. But if you like this show you will LOVE it. Theres literally no middle ground I have seen.

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.

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.
