Hello Superjail fans a new show is here upon us and to be frank i've been looking forward to ever since I saw the first trailer back in March I think it was and I have to say if you thought the trailer for this show was insane you've seen nothing yet so here are my first impressions of Ballmastrz: 9009.
The basic premise of the show is Gaz Digzy a washed-up superstar and notorious party gal who after a spiral of destructive antics is demoted to The Leptons, the worst team in The Game. Her only way back to the top is to somehow lead these pathetic misfits and “ultimate losers” to victory. What this summery doesn't tell you is the fact it takes place in a post apocalyptic future where all wars have pretty much been banned and the only way to solve conflict is in these games which are just called The Game and I do really like this set up even if it's a cliche of pretty much any sports movie where a superstar joins a lower ranked team.
Starring in not only these first two episodes but also the show are Natasha Lyonne as Gaz Digzy , Dana Snyder as Babyball , Dave Willis , Flame Princess , Eric Bauza and the show's creator Christy Karacas. What's interesting is that on Wikipedia the only two actors listed with there characters are Natasha and Dana so it's really anyone's guess who's playing the other characters but I will say that based of these first two episodes the acting is pretty good altho I will say that Natasha is pretty much playing the role she always plays so it's not much of a stretch for her.
This is a very Mad Max inspired world which if your a fan of those movies then you'll be over the moon but tho for me I couldn't help but wonder how max would handle this situation and that did kind of distract me from the episodes a bit that's nothing against the show tho that's more to do with me personally.
The animation for the show is being done by Titmouse who of course did the animation for Superjail and the recently scrapped Deadpool series (they did leak a scene from that show and it looked awesome) and I have to wonder if they were told to make it look like the anime Kill La Kill just because the animation style in this show looks like it could have come from that anime and for me that's not a bad thing.
if you thought Superjail was insane which it was then you've seen nothing yet this show is straight up balls to the wall insane and I loved every minuet of it altho I will say that if you suffer from epilepsy then you might want to cover your eyes for a few scenes.
I guess this is a new thing Adult Swim are doing but every week until the finale the show will air two episodes a week and i'm honestly not to sure how I feel about this since while it does mean we get more awesome madness it also means it will be on for half as long and it's something that i don't get why Adult Swim are doing it.
Overall this looks to be a really interesting show i'm going to check out the rest of the series just due to how insane it all is and if I do make it to the end then there will be a review of the show and there will not be a rating since the show has only just started.
