Oh fuck yes, we're getting a second season. Looks like it premieres on the 3rd of April.

Yes.

Oh sweet baby Jesus yes.

One of the only shows that is good on Adult Swim.

A second season! I will be eagerly waiting by my computer on that fateful eve/fateful very early morning, depending on when it airs.

I'm-a looking foreward to this.

It has a bit more style than substance but the mix of ultra-violence and psychadelic imagrey has always kept me interested.

Sweet zombie Odin.

Did anyone see the first episode of the new season?

My brother did. I heard it was pretty good.

New episode was pretty good.

Not enough gore.

Found the new episode. I like the new animation style a lot. It's very Looney Tunes-esque. And some parts were actually kind of almost sweet. So, I'm looking forward to the other episodes of the season!

There, that episode had gore. A ton of gore. And a mech. And the Twins. And Jared getting a happy ending. It was all very good.

And you know Jared's just going to go back to normal by next episode. :)

I think they get a new shipment of prisoners for each episode too, considering how many get killed.

Actually I'm not too happy with the new direction of the show. Sure, it is gory and weird as usual, but it feels uninspired somehow. The Warden became almost too childish and not psychotic as he once was, the Twins are little more than cameos, and the surreal humour of the huge fight scenes replaced with lame parodies (mecha anime, GI Joe) that feel a bit out of place. The animation is fantastic, but I don't know if it is for the better. Well, let's wait until half the season to see if my fears are confirmed.

• Give the Twins time to get more screentime. They didn't appear in the first episode, and were in ONE SHOT in this past one. The next episode will be about them somehow.
• Not all the fights are parodies. We still have downright creative sequences!

So, the bump said that Lord Stingray would become a regular character. I hope this doesn't turn in amother The Venture Bros. Otherwise very funny episode.

Hmm. Do you think Stingray was a direct creation from the writers of the Venture Bros. since they work on this show? MY. THAT couldn't be it!

The is probably the most gorn filled, homoerotic, 60's drug induced cartoon in the history of western animation.

I can't get enough of it.

I can't believe I didn't pick this up early. I'm barely halfway through season 1 and I WANT MORE.

Last night's episode is the first one I've seen of the new season. The Warden's animations look a whole lot more weirder and fluid than before, as amazing as that is. Did they get an Animation Bump?

No, they got a different studio.

Specifically, an East Coast division of Titmouse Animation, who is best known for animating the intro of Avatar The Last Airbender.

Excuse me what?! Really?! Is that in the credits? I thought they never did stuff for Nick!

And if Titmouse did anything post-2010, it would've had to be in their West Coast studio, because the East Coast studio just opened.

The second season is certainly a lot different from the first one. And I'm not simply talking about the improved animation.

For one the show has pretty much broken away from the formulaic plot development of each episode and now centers around character development. This has resulted in fewer instances of last minute mass killings, and as a result, there has been less room for excess gore that defined the first season. It's not really a bad thing; some viewers seem to be comfortable with this change.

Season two is also seemingly less adventurous in both the premise of each episode and the variety of violence; there has even been a few occasions when I accurately predicted the outcomes of a couple of episodes. Negative Continuity is also unseen this season so far.

The Jailbot-Jackknife introductory sequences are still good, but there have been a few instances where they are much shorter and less elaborate than in the first season; scenes depicting Jackknife escaping near the end of each episode is also strangely absent in season two (if you don't count the first episode).

I believe that one of the things I was interested in was the characters from the first season, but I'm a visual artist, and I like to be pleasured by the animation on-screen. Superjail! delivered that more than any other show I seen in a long time, and while there is less of that this season, you still got things happening in the background, they keep all the once-an-episode gags (in "Gay Marriage" you can get a glimpse of Jackknife sneaking away to escape again), and nothing was really taken away. I do like how the characters are getting to be a bit different than how we first saw them three years ago- it's just that it wasn't initially the focus.
