Yeah, honestly, I was ORIGINALLY supposed to hate this show. Mostly because, since this is from Christy Karacas, who created Superjail!, I thought this was gonna be ANOTHER Superjail! clone, but it's actually not. Finally!! A Christy Karacas show that's actually good. I wish I wasn't so hard on Christy Karacas, since he actually DID wanna try something new. Still, I absolutely despise Superjail!, and found THAT show to be his BIGGEST mistake. Ballmastrz: 9009 feels more like a reverse Superjail!
Sometimes, just because it's created by the same guy who made a bad show, doesn't mean the show itself will suck. I mean, I have seen WORSE than this show. Examples are Drawn Together, Family Guy, Mr. Pickles, Superjail!, Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon", and ESPECIALLY King Star King (which is the only thing Adult Swim made worse than Superjail!, but that's still not saying much). I know I was bored when I watched an episode of it, but that's because it actually never felt like a Superjail! clone.
But there is one question you all wanted me to ask: Does Ballmastrz have any gore? Yes it does, BUT the violence is NOT done in the veins of Superjail!, King Star King, or Mr. Pickles. They only use gore on occasions, and it's more in the veins of shows like Rick and Morty and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I had to sit through all 10 episodes to make sure it WASN'T a Superjail! clone, and it's not. In a way, you COULD say that Ballmastrz is kind of like a mix between Gravity Falls, Rick and Morty, Total Drama (even though it's an alright show), anime, Butch Hartman, AND Jhonen Vasquez. Christy, I'm very sorry I said you were one of the worst animators of all time. I just thought this one would turn out to be a clone of your previous show. But seriously, dude. NEVER go back to Superjail!.
My favorite episode would have to be "To Catch a Princess", because I just love older princesses. Who knew this is a sign of Christy Karacas improving? The animation in this show is just so incredible! It's cheap, but it's actually done in a more high budget way. This happens to be the BEST looking animation in a Christy Karacas show, since....... EVER!!! I was wrong about Christy Karacas being one of the worst cartoonists ever. I still despise Superjail! though, but Ballmastrz not only has absolutely awesome animation, but the voice acting is really good, and the designs are very creative, and surprisingly not very hard to look at. I'm just glad that Christy Karacas decided to move on to something new, something more anime-esque.
I hope a season 2 for the show is planned. Who knows?
Anyways, I give this show an 8/10! It's really good!
