Ballmastrz: Rubicon has morphed the Adult Swim series into a full anime! We got to talk with creator Christy Karacas about making that happen:
Ballmastrz: 9009 ended its second season with a massive cliffhanger teasing that a huge new space battle was on the way, and now Ballmastrz: Rubicon has arrived to continue that story by finally giving fans the space opera epic they have been hoping for! It's a much different kind of return than expected, however, as the first reveals of footage from the upcoming special saw Crayzar and the Leptons take on a much different look from before.
CHRISTY KARACAS: I'm so excited and I've been so impatient because again, we set that up, and I hate when there's a cliffhanger that it doesn't get resolved, or if it's just some fake out. We totally knew what we wanted to happen, but it was just such a weird thing between COVID and the Time Warner merger and all these things. There kept being all these delays, and I wondered if people would even remember. So I'm excited if they remember and they're psyched to see it.
This time around, what happened was I wrote it with my partner, Andrew Reuland here, and then I storyboarded it with one of the storyboard artists from season one and two, Veronica Lu. We rough storyboarded everything and then sent it to 4C. Then any new designs I would do sketches, and then they would redesign it in their kind of clean style, redid the color design, and redid the background design...They didn't redo the boards, but there were small changes.
Ball and Crayzar are, I would say, the main people in this and some of Crayzar's family. So that was really fun to have them interact because they were just pretty funny together, I thought. And I'd love to see more of that. I mean, we hope if it had more things, I'd love to see all these weird characters from the other teams becoming more main characters and living on this ship.
I mean, one thing that I got really into that's not really anime, but it's a live-action show, is there's this show called ... I don't know if you've seen the show MegaBeast Investigator Juspion. But there's a lot of Juspion references. It's this really bizarre, I mean, I think it's awesome. And it's funny, we talked a lot about ... How do I say this?
prevnext Anime's Rise in Popularity Ballmastrz was kind of ahead of the curve in terms of how much love it was showing to anime. And so as a full anime creator now, how do you feel about anime's rise of popularity now in the West as compared to a couple years ago?
