Read more about Superjail at: Wikipedia Official Site: Adult Swim Superjail! is an American animated television series produced by Augenblick Studios the first season and Titmouse, Inc. the second and third season. The series follows the events that take place in an unusual prison. The pilot episode aired on television on May 13, 2007, and its first season began on September 28, 2008. Superjail! is characterized by its psychedelic shifts in setting and plot and extreme graphic violence, which give the series a TV-MA-V (for graphic violence and bloodshed) rating. These elements are depicted through highly elaborate animated sequences, which have been described as "baroque and complicated and hard to take in at a single viewing". The majority of Superjail! is set inside the eponym prison. Externally, Superjail is built inside a volcano which is itself located in a larger volcano. Internally, it seems to constitute its own reality, where the fabric of time and space is extremely fluid and changes at the whim of the Warden. Superjail's inmate population is stated by Jared to be in excess of 70,000, although the show's creators mention that the jail processes "billions of inmates". Superjail itself is a magical jail, in which just about anything can happen. As stated in "Ladies Night", Superjail is located in dimension 5612, meaning that Superjail is indeed not located anywhere near Earth. It has also been hinted that the titular prison is sentient. Superjail can be seen differently in the eyes of everyone; in the episode "Burn Stoolie Burn" it is revealed that if one looks at Superjail with respect they will be able to see all of its true beauty. In the first season, each episode begins with a linear story revolving around an irresponsible scheme concocted by the Warden to satisfy some whim. The episode builds up in both violence and surrealism into a climactic, psychedelic blood bath during which dozens of inmates are brutally or gruesomely murdered, either by one another or some external force. Some episode plots have no resolutions at all, with the story simply stopping when events have reached their most chaotic. Regardless, the status quo is always restored by the next episode unless the episode is a multi-part one.
Superjail has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
