this is a very different video than usual and i apologize if i come off a little nitpicky or mean! i went in and shared my pros and cons on his products (NOT HIM) and u can decide what u think urself :)
I love money
its okay !! its nice seeing a review of all his products
He likes the choices he makes, he is just making other choices and still working on the main thing that he started with his team of beloved animators.
I agree that the first episode was quite boring but when I saw the last episode I understood why they put it in (I’m tried to say that by giving the least amount of spoilers as possible)
It’s great, the shows probably one of my favorite things on Netflix since cuphead show
Not even gonna lie, I really miss james' old videos. Basic animation and good stories were the best times
Yeah i agree
I loved them because he was literally just a guy. The average joe just talking about random crap from his childhood or something. Kinda lost the magic now that hes basically a celebrity but the videos are still enjoyable
No lmao
Yeah, I used to look up to him, but him becoming a corporate mascot sellout made me kind of lose that respect
Goes to show how fame and publicity can change some people
I think that James probably had a bit of a more mature idea for his show but because of studio marketability netflix dumbed it down a lot. The video James made about making his show kind of implies something like that might have happened.
Yeah
Yeah, but what about things like Dead End and stuff, Netflix is usually pretty good at adapting ideas into tv forms
I just think the target demo is probably in the much younger age group and not for me
@@SmallIGuess I still think Dead End could've been way more mature. Luckily they got away with a lot.
Not really. We literally have no idea how things went down.
No, he’s just a sellout.
What I really like about this review is that it’s not just going, ‘wow this TH-camr has come a long way since they began’ you were actually honest with your thoughts on these products plus the series. I love odd1sout and all but again, it’s great to see you’re being more honest. Keep up the great work man!
thank u so much! i wanted to make sure to see the pros with the cons and i think it worked out well if i was a little harsh :)
@@Awesomemay you forgot to tell your opinion his other card game called cafe chaos
im proud with how far he came but his content now feels really disassociated from his normal content. it’s almost guaranteed that someone who got famous from being relatable will become dissociated from their audience
The show isn't for my target demographic but I can't deny the fact that the animation is way more advanced than his normal videos..seeing James with Lip sync was incredible.
despite the actual show not being incredible, the animation sure (in my opinion)
@@Awesomemay the show felt like watered down uncle grandpa
@@borderlines8021 unpopular opinion but I like Uncle grandpa. Yeah its stupid and nonsensical, but my nostalgia for it is too much
@@naganut9718 same here
You seem familiar
I think the problem with James is that after a few years he started to notice that young kids were starting to watch his videos and so essentially changed his entire channel moving forward at that point in time to be more targeted towards kids instead of the teenagers and young adults that originally made up his fan base,which I think is definitely obvious through Oddballs. Great that he managed to get a show,it's an awesome opportunity but it just feels at this point like James has lost that relatability and laid back vibe he used to have in favour of selling out to become more family friendly and change his entire target demographic
Super well put!
I honestly dont think so, ive grown up with the channel for the past 5 years, and while I have noticed a noticeable change, its more good than bad. I personally like the higher animation quality.
@@Trubactor thank theodd1sout animation team for the higher quality.
hard to talk about things when you have non left. If he had a good story, he would share it. Most likely he ran out. He's still pretty young too. Dont expext him to have 2000 stories memorized without lying.
My favorite part from Oddballs, was when James said "It's Oddballing time" and then proceeded to Oddball on everyone, truly ahead of its time.
this is so true chaze from youtube channel chaze
Truly the show of all time
that was my fav too :)
I know this is a joke but he didn’t say that
I also love the part where max said "it's maxing time" and then proceeds to max James sanity out.
I feel that jaden and james expanded after their storytime animations,they do em’ occasionally but Jaiden expanded to the sides with gaming/colabs (mostly with alpharad) and James expanded upwards with the books,series and other stuff
Yeah I loved the direction jaiden took, however it feels like she’s beginning to sell out with the subathon
@@lilster8968 could you explain how she is selling out with her subathon?
@@lilster8968 its just a cool event wdym sell out?
@@lilster8968 selling out with the subathon? But she’s just streaming/ playing games with her audience and having fun with friends wdym
Agreed.
Honestly, I really liked your points in this video. My main problem with James rn is the fact that it does feel a little corporate. I was a pretty big fan of him from like the early stuff, to his mid-career (2017, 2018 etc.). I used to love those animation storytellers or whatever, and back then they were pretty great. As soon as the books came out though, I knew it would all go downhill. And not to say it's bad exactly that he gets these opportunities, I just feel like it's a massive blow to the original fans. The old vids felt like genuine stories with James' iconic character, energetic commentary, and overall goofy but well-done atmosphere. Now the videos feel so corporate, and even forced. The videos are done by like fifty different animators, and the lines seem really cringe. It could be that I've gotten older, but there's plenty of other animators targeted to a younger audience that still hold up great today, like Jaiden Animations. It's really upsetting tbh. The show seems like it was for like Disney XD or Cartoon Network, and doesn't seem even that original. I rarely watch him anymore, and if I do it's just re-watching the older stuff I liked before he was as big as he is now. It just all feels like a business (which I guess is the whole point of a TH-cam channel) with the whole merch stuff shoved down my throat. The older videos don't have that, those have a nice, fun charm. These new ones feel like an advertisement. I'm open to all takes tho. If you enjoy the new stuff that's wonderful. Truly, don't let me stop you! This is just my view. Great video dude!
Fax 👍
we all wanna get paid
I think the main problem is us setting our expectations too high. We never know if something can turn out as we expected, like a TH-camr making an actual good series for more mature audiences rather than younger ones, and the same can be said for things like the Mario movie as well. Maybe you'll end up with a good thing or a terrible thing, it all depends on expecting too much
Expectations too high? My expectations for the show were pretty low so if anything it exceeded my expectations And I don’t even think the show was that good
yeah, no
Well Smiling Friends was a creator show and it was amazing, so maybe these creators should cater to adult audiences with their shows more, or maybe just have a better sense of humor and write better
Yea, but I really want the Mario movie to be so good
i set my expectations way to low and thought that the jokes and writing were for people younger than me despite me not being old at all,but there were still some funny scenes and enjoyed anyway
I feel like James has lost almost all relatability since becoming one of the biggest animation youtubers on the site, which is what drew me to his videos in the first place. True, he has definitely gone far in his career, but at a cost.
It’s kind of sad…
He went the way of the TH-camr. Once you get famous fuck your fans and go corporate
I remember I once bought the second odd1sout book. And it was MISSING FIVE PAGES. It was in the section about conspiracy theories and pages 142-146 were completely missing?? I have no idea why or how, but I was blown away with how low quality that was. But otherwise, I’ve found that his other products are pretty alright. I have one of the plushes, and it’s actually surprisingly soft and huggable.
i actually bought the second odd1sout book too, and saw the missing pages. i was annoyed too but found out it was intentional because it was the in the conspiracy chapter. i 100% agree his merch is really a hit or miss, the shirts i bought a couple of years ago were a way bigger fit than i intended and the fabric felt super cheap, but the plushies feel like a squishmallow.
r/woooosh it’s intentional lmao
@@Artcat932 oh lmao sorry i’m bad at reading the room
@@Artcat932 bro used Reddit in a conversation 💀 anyway yeah I knew, I was kidding
sus
My biggest problem with Oddballs is that James *did not need to be in high school* 🙈 the only episode that needed it was “Emo like the Wolfstank” and even then you can easily change it. A lot of the scenarios would be inherently funny if James is in his early 20s - think SpongeBob or Regular Show, but school is just a very common setting for animated content so I know *why* they chose it 😔
I really enjoyed this review 💖 it’s pretty balanced in regards to the pros and cons of James’ brand/ merch, and none of it came off cynical- it just feels honest 👌
thank you :) i totally agree with u, the school setting felt so off and on with the rest of the show
I think oddballs has very predictable plots for the episodes but the jokes really hit And I can’t help but laugh sometimes
So I’m giving this show 7/10
good rating milk tea i agree
It's a bit childish for my liking, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless
This show is so fucking weird in my opinion but I still enjoy anyways even it’s looks a little bad cus the art style of the serie and the characters bruh 💀
Definitely agree with that rating. The best part had to do with what the plot was. Every single episode had him creating the conflict except the salesperson, the fly, and artificial grandma. Creates the toaster in 1, harms a bunch of people around him with his apps in 2, is extremely petty in 5 and 7 and in 7 instead of doing something simple especially when she gives him chances to talk, fakes crying to cheat in 6, starts doing something which while he isn’t completely responsible for the pillow fighting getting out of hand he still started it and did it in the first place in 8, number 10 again while it isn’t that terrible still dishonest to donate blood to get out of doing gym in 10, and finally 12 and by extension 4 he is the one who created the Dino nuggets and if you haven’t seen it spoilers: he is actually the guy who ruined food in the future by creating toasty causing echo to go back in time for processed food causing the conflict in 4. Honestly it’s an interesting premise and I think they can probably make a self victim role work pretty well at least assuming they fix it.
i'll be honest i'm giving it a 6/10, most of the jokes seem straight out of a crappy comic i would make in 2nd grade and some of the dialogue seems out of place or just flat out doesn't make much sense
5:34 I 100% agree on this scene, when I saw and heard it I was like "wtf"
Idk, the general idea for the show always rubbed me the wrong way and comes off as uncreative or even self-absorbed in some cases, but a lot of this is deflected in the way he can hide his actual self behind an avatar. Avatar or not, James essentially plays himself which is automatically (preemptively) a red flag for me personally since that’s how a lot of bad shows take form. Imagine there was a show called “Little Markiplier” where Mark plays himself going on whacky adventures. Idk, maybe I’m the crazy one, but I just feel a bit conflicted in the way James has pretty much turned a branch of his personality into a brand.
6:43 I'm surprised you were confused on how random the show was after just talking about how an ICarly/Drake and Josh writer made this. This is the same guy who approved spaghetti tacos and baby Spencer. I wouldn't expect nothing less.... 😂
If James gets a whole NETFLIX SHOW Jaiden should get her anime intro into a series
4:51 *Theyre more like 15-16 min episodes because literally the last 4-5 mins are the credits…*
Storytime about James' second board game, cafe chaos. It was, as you could expect, total chaos (from a kickstarter point of view)
First, the kickstarter happened during covid. I get that the delivery can get delayed a lot and I was willing to wait! I swear I did! Gotta say tho, it was from far the WORST kickstarter experience I ever had. I paid for the project in August. I got it at end of March. There was very few updates about what was going on and why it was getting delayed. I also got constant emails about buying more packs and merch. Way more than for every project I've seen.
Now, THE WORST PART. In the ad, James says he developed the game himself. Sadly, this isn't the case. A month after getting the game, I noticed it was a RESKIN of another kickstarter game called "What The Food". Every card is the same. Some are copied almost word for word. Only the illustrations were changed. This broke me. I still can't believe I bought that :( The odd1sout is not a person. It's a brand.
Dang thats kinda sad tbh
Every TH-camr with a big following is a brand basically. Thats why they make most cash from the fan sales
Can't wait for season 2, 8/10
Same
wanna see ryan make a pitch meeting soo bad of oddsball
@@housesuns-kings8480 uhhhh.....what are you talking about?
@@sbyoutube6100 not knowing what he is talking about is tight
@@Hatapsan I know
i think it’s so insane that youtuber merch is just casually in your stores i couldn’t ever imagine something like that in the uk
I love how honest this video was and it’s my favorite video of yours
wow thank u im rlly glad to hear that
@@Awesomemay can you do a review of don't hug me im scared if you are british
If you saw James's video on how he made a show you can see that he did want an overarching story, but he said that the network wanted to make changes :/
I feel like the plushies are the best merchandise to come out of the whole Odd1sOut brand.
the first book is pretty good, haven’t bought or read the second yet.
the board game was kind of a mess.
and Oddballs actually turned out A LOT better than i was expecting it to be.
it wasn’t perfect, but not terrible either.
I mean, I wasn’t expecting a dark and gritty mature series for adults that was also inexplicably exactly like the TH-cam videos,
but something more in-line with what we got.
if anything, I don’t think people should be mad at oddballs because, well,
It’s rated TV-Y.
It’s aimed at an even younger demographic than his actual videos are now.
But overall:
Book 1: 7/10
Plushies: 10/10
Board Game: 5/10
Oddballs: 8/10 (maybe a 9 tbh)
They changed the rating to TV-Y7
@@ThatWindowsGuy488 yeah so that means it’s for older kids and teens
When it comes to Oddballs, TheOdd1sOut did the impossible, be a TH-camr and make a show that's not terrible.
Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack are TH-camrs that made Smiling Friends
@@MaximizedAnimation yeah but they know what they're doing,they made something that they love,not something forced by a company,even adult swim was on their side
While oddballs is made by netflix,so uhh yeah,we all know netflix don't we
It is terrible
@@thepredman9lol266 bruh
Haters Back Off was pretty good
I've seen oddballs and actually enjoyed it,my expectations were low before it came out tho because it's target demographic is probably for people younger than me despite me not being that old at all,but Max definetly gives this show some sorts of humour and some scenes were just really funny so I give it a 7\10 I hope it improves in future episodes
3:20 you were supposed to destroy mobile games not join them!
Also, I think if May made a Netflix series, it would still be more mature and captivating than James' show
who is may?
@@Pluto-Symphony your mom
@@Pluto-Symphony awesomemay
@@Pluto-Symphony lmao u got yo mamad and ur name is joemama
It's because Oddballs was made for children
In my opinion odd balls is great, the characters, the animation ,and the stories were fun, the last episode left us with a huge cliffhanger, how james (SPOILER ALERT) created a toaster which will destroy the future
1:03 AYO💀
🤨
6:12 yk what i actually agree. Season one of cuphead was the worst season possible. The Seinfeld ending was great but season 2 and 3 had way more potential and they where actually entertaining. Season one was, and I quote “the weakest season ever
(Bro this has nothing to do with the video)
I feel like James built this like a Nickelodeon show or, take it in a different direction, Adventure Time. In Adventure Time, all you know in the beginning is that Jake's a dog and Finn's a human. It's not until later in the show that we learn how they met and the deeper details of the show like why Finn's the only human around, why the Ice King is the way he is, why Bonnie and Finn are better off as friends, etc. I feel like it's appropriate to link these two shows together because they have a similar idea in a few different ways.
James actually mentions in a video talking about his process of making and pitching the show about how, in his show Bible, he already has the backstory in mind for the character James as well as other characters like Max. James explains how his character, outside of this town, is considered a weird kid. However, his parents move him to this town where they live with their experiments and the children of those experiments like Max. In this town, James is no longer weird like he was living outside of it. In this town, being like he is is normal. Like Adventure Time, it might take a whole lot of time for them to get to the point of these episodes, for it to build up in story and world building and filler for them to finally have a main point.
I can definitely tell that I’m not the target demographic for the show, but I still had some fun watching it. I really like the world of the show, kinda reminds me of Regular Show in how it’s basically just our world, but there’s just a bunch of other species living in it.
I agree! I think it is amazing that the odd ones out series and mercy was rlly good! But it also feels lazy many times-
I will still watch it bc it is only at its 12 episodes-
Good honest review May! my favorite episodes were Grandma's Boy (because of how wholesome James and GRANDMA were), Dead or Fly (that episode was intense!), and Behind Frenemy Lines (I like it when nice characters suppress their anger/be passive aggressive when someone is bothering them and James's angry facial expressions were gold in my opinion, also Max's Dad was pretty funny, my only con is Echo)
I literally agree with everything you said. I feel like the grandma episode is gonna be that one episode everyone hates, but I love it! It's just so wholesome, and I love plots involving artificial intelligence!
@@rosykindbunny1313 Agree, I too feel like Behind Frenemy Lines is also the episode people are not a fan of as well due to James contradicting himself with having no problem speaking his mind yet this episode he can't tell Echo that she's messing up the tree house, but I think the reason he is afraid to say anything is because since she's a guest, he probably feels the need to be polite and feels bad for telling Echo to clean up their tree house or like James said "Why should I tell someone who I am almost positive knows their wrong, that their in the wrong"
I was waiting for this thank you❤️
3:14 *aaaawwwweeeessssooooommmmeeeee*
I find myself really agreeing with this review, nice job may!
One thing i loved about this show though was that Mr. Sellers, (the salesman) was voiced by Ryan George. The host of Screen Rant's "Pitch Meeting".
This is the first video of you I watched. I liked it and you seem like you put effort in your videos. I subscribed.
Also your avatar kinda reminds me of LS Mark's avatar
thank u im glad u liked the video! i get the ls mark comparison so often haha
2:53 correction his second board game Cafe Chaos is the spoons reskin
I loved this show quite a bit. James did a very good job with this show. I wonder if there will be a season 2 of Oddballs
They made it
Only thing I hate is Echo, she needs to be punished.
She lies to Max that he owes her money in the future, she tortures James, claiming that they don't do passive aggressive in the future, despite knowing what it is + that it was used in the past. And then destroys James Stuff after learning he was being passive aggressive. Not to mention her appearance episode, where she cuts in line because her machine brought her there.
Atleast James gets consequences occasionally. He cheats and gets disqualified as an example
And now Echo gets mad at him because he's apparently Professor Dumas, and will probably be harsher to him once s2 comes,,, augh.
@@crystallizedhxnna1424 though i wanna know what happens in season 2
I’m not one to want to beat children…
…BUT-
Dude how did you grow so many subscribers so quickly recently? You literally inspire me! I wait on end for your uploads. You never disappoint😊
thank u so much! im just as confused with the subscribers as u haha but i appreciate the support
unlike the odd1sout
2:30 agreed, my dad bought it for me 2 or 3 years ago, it has been rotting in my desk ever since. i took the harry figuring and placed it on a shelf, cuz it looks "cool"
The Oddballs show reminded me a lot of TAWOG when I rewatch it. James and Max just have the dynamic as Gumball and Darwin.
7:37 The ad placement here is hilarious. 🤣
8:42 that’s Gumball. The show in question may be good, but for me, nothing beats Gumball. Everyone has their opinions.
5:25 why does that drawing look literally almost identical to my OC
2019 odds1sout: no more mobile game
2020 odds1sout: I HAVE MY OWN MOBILE GAME
I like how honest you are. Politely honest=)Thank you =) His show was pretty nice, nothing too complicated. Such shows are needed because they are quite relaxing=)
I loved oddballs, it was great!
I miss when James used to make blogs and videos where he drew with his friends. I know he complains about them being ‘lazy’ and such, but I’d like to see some videos where we get to see his personality, without 20 other people being needed to make a video
I think in some scenes it's really obvious that James is used to talking about himself, like he just goes on rants about his opinions on things
Won’t even lie, my dad bought the Moth board game and I took it on a family trip recently to try it out and by some miracle I got us all to play a board game again in years and we all had fun with it. So imo, that one was a win.
I like this style of video! nothing wrong with an honest and balanced critique
6:04 not just A toaster a IMPORTANT toaster
He makes a comeback in the end of the last episode
@@TWAFFLEG that’s why he’s IMPORTANT

0:19
Damm
Everybody seems to forget about
Alan Becker
He is so important to the story of TH-cam animation!
And the amount of bangers he made!
Ngl the show is the same equivalent to a wedding, everyone looks so happy and proud but secretly everyone is either:
1. silently worried or feels pity for the couple because they know how bad it will end
Or
2. Jealous and always try to bring up their marriage if ever talking to the couple after the wedding
great review, seems genuine and I agree with a lot of your points
Glad you enjoyed it!
Once he talked about the part about can catch Harry just being forgotten I realized oh crap The game's still in my closet because I never figured out how to play it
Oddballs could’ve taken inspo from TAWOG. And tbh, That would’ve been great!
This video just reminded me that I still have the unopened “Can’t Catch Harry” board game sitting in the top shelf of my closet that I got for Christmas. 😳
Wow, thank you for being honest, and your not rude. You also give them compliments and you also tell us good things!
I really love James and his team, ( the odd1sout )
Thank you so much! You earned yourself a new subscriber
( also the toaster episode starts us for the MAYBE next season, since dumos is James and max since they crated toasty but it’s cool and your also correct! )
thank u i tried my best to not be rude so im glad it worked out :)
this is the best oddballs review released this week
urs was good too!!
“Hilda”my memory’s came flooding back to me.
most TH-cam animators are not actually animating. animation is making a drawing feel alive and making it move where most TH-cam animators' just make drawings
I think the second season is where the show will really pick up steam, like most shows that are meant to have multiple seasons, and I’m pretty excited for it. But also, yeah the show felt like it had the laziest writing ever. Almost like at some points he just forgot to edit it..? But I also find that that is the charm of the show, because it’s so random and unpredictable. That’s the main reason I kept watching. And also because the animations was the most beautiful thing ever.
i agree with most of ur points here! im excited to see what he does with season 2 :)
I love the show so much so 10/10 it’s actually rlly good
I love the old videos because he didnt have complex backgrounds and animations and it was chill
New videos keeps getting better than the previous 🔥
thank u bro!!
Glad this is not just another "ThIS is A YoUtubeR so it HAS tO Be GooD" You were actually honest with your thoughts and opnions instead of dodging the question and turning it into Odd1sout has came a long way video.
James deserves everything he has worked for.
Really like this one it was different from your usual videos
Glad you liked it!
His first book was basically just a ctrl+c - ctrl+v of his previous animation, his boardgame was basically just spoons, and his mobile game was basically just that one sumo wrestler gummy bear game, but ig whatever makes him that cayash
I got excited every episode of oddballs because I wonder what out of context/realistic max face would be
I've been waiting for may to post an oddballs review
P.S: I can't believe the show has lore
Why is this a good topic that more people need to talk about. WHERE IS THE REAL AWSOMEMAY
WHAT??
May: TH-camrs are anti-celebrity but then they become such a normal thing and they are celebrity
Me: Most of my favorite TH-camrs are underrated
The only problem that you did mention about James doing lazy game collabs and books is that he openly criticised people who do that stuff, like if ur gonna complains about something don’t go doing it urself
I know, in his book he just recycled old videos he made, which is sad because his book had potential.
I actually loved the show! Keep it up! like I always say.
Love the new vids! ❤❤
this is what ive been waiting for.
I know this will probably defeat the purpose of seeing the show for many but I have to say this, the Spanish dub of this show is FIRE I kinda changed the dub by accident and I thought a lot of it would sound terrible but wow, idk if they gave the dub people more liberty than in a big show but it’s genuinely one of the best dubbed things I’ve seen in a while, the vas do an amazing job and I think that the writing in Spanish is sometimes better with them doing some great localizations
I actually received a signed copy of TheOdd1sOut's second book.
I just loved in ep.1 when toastie electrocutes the whole lake and you see a body float to the top for a half second, I thought it was hilarious
Something I think u should of also included was his live show with other TH-camrs scribble showdown, I went to a show in my area and enjoyed it and even bought the signed poster, Scribble After Dark sounds interesting by not having to limited self itself to it all ages shows and if they do more than just the one in LA then I’ll consider buying a ticket.
Honestly some can be lazy but he is a phenomenal TH-camr
wow so awesomeme awesomemay!
omg so truee i agree!! wow!!
I still like James content, even though it’s so different from his older content.
In the first video it did kind of did give the alligator some backstory it shows him in a
lab and when he started screaming and bumping in the walls he was impersonating the scientist reaction when he started attacking
Am I the only one who thinks the toaster episode is by far the best one?
well, it's a good episode and in the final episode its revealed that toasty becomes the emperor in the future so yeah, good episode and sets the overarching story. 7/10 episode.
I miss the old odds one out.
Let's bounce is just Bouncemasters, which is an original and cool mobile game. I don't know how people miss that.
You like what 1:09
Ayo? 🤨
Amazing unbiased video! All my thoughts exactly!
thank you glad to hear that :)
4:37 hilda hilda hilda hilda hilda
Even if the first episode is “boring” as you say, you gotta admit toasty is adorable!
TH-camrs basically becoming celebrities and doing everything for money isn't even uncommon, that doesn't surprise me, but James whole channel and personality is showing that he isn't one of those TH-camrs, that he is genuine, like you can usually tell right away if someone is a sellout or not, which is why I'm especially conflicted with all of the recent stuff he's been doing lately.
The problem I had with the books is that you could just uh... WATCH THE ANIMATIONS FOR FREE, ABOUT THE EXACT SAME TOPICS!?
