That was over too quickly. There better be another season.
I love how they uironically won thanks to The Power of Friendship.
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.I opened by mistake another topic about the show because the title was written differently, however here's what I thought of it: despite being a fan of both Super Jail and anime, I didn't enjoy it.
First the good things: visually the series is amazing and Karacas' style combined with animesque tropes is a great match, plus it has great animation when it wants, good use of colors and lots of funny and interesting character designs.
However, all the rest is mediocre IMO. The plot is the usual Ragtag Bunch Of Misfits stuff seen a thousand times, the characters are all one-note jokes and half of them don't even do anything, the anime parodies are lame (Sailor Moon meets Pokemon, really?) and the Deadly Sport idea never becomes exciting since there are pretty much no stakes. The music is also forgettable and the creepy voice whispering "Ballmasterz" becomes annoying fast.
I don't want to be a killjoy but I had high hopes for it and ultimately didn't find it funny or meaningful.
"Effective Altruism" is just another bunch of horsesh*t.How do you guys like your one-off specials? Because Ballmastrz: Rubicon is coming in full force on 02/20/2023 and the next day on HBO Max!
(Yes, the art direction is wildly different and jarring from how the show looks like, but I'm pretty sure this is by design and it won't be how season 3 will look like. And I say all this because social media is getting grumpy about it. Also, it's animated by Studio 4C! Can't get mad at that!)
I guess it means you might have conditioned yourself into expecting the worst of the worst by now? (No offense.)
But yeah, I guess Ballmastrz didn't really leave, it just went into a lull that most [as] go through in that it takes longer than usual to get the new season or something? (I always wondered what's up with that. Quality maintenance?)

@Nega King Nix: Thanks!
Do not obey in advance.
