rufsetufshesten This is one of the worst pieces of animation out there. The drawing style is horrible, that the voice-acting sounds like it's done by middle-school boys trying to be scary and the plot and humour, or lack thereof, is simply awful. They can label it as a spoof of the sword and sorcery genre as much as they want, but it doesn't change the fact that it's just bad. Best enjoyed after a major head trauma or severe mental retardation. Avoid at all costs.
Daniel Dell Okay, I know Rick and Morty came out 7 years after this one, but I still find it epic and awesome. This was Aaron Springer's well-known creation before Billy Dilley's Super-Duper Subterranean Summer on Disney XD, which I will admit, is not as fun to watch as this one, but I still love it either way. But THIS is admittedly Aaron Springer's best creation yet. Yes, he hasn't worked on Rick and Morty, but I would imagine IF he did. Heck, he even worked on Samurai Jack before this. Speaking of which, Genndy Tartakovsky, creator of Cartoon Network's Dexter's Laboratory and Adult Swim's now owned Samurai Jack, directed the animation for this. Yes, he also produced and directed Springer's other rejected Cartoon Network pilot: Periwinkle Around the World, which also is good, but this one is awesome. It's too bad that the show was not green lit due to incredibly high budgets, and yet Adult Swim green lit Superjail!, Tim and Eric Awesome Show: Great Job, and Xavier Renegade Angel??!! ARE THEY NUTS??!! Oh well, I still find Korgoth of Barbaria to be very awesome. Plus the voice of Hoss Delgado is in this show, which is awesome.
lumbar64 Korgoth is awesome. Brutal, funny and full of action. To those who have read the Conan stories by the original author I think you will see many similarities. This series depicts a barbarian as he was meant to be, no hesitation, no remorse,no annoying morals to drag him down. The animation is good and seems to fit the characters and story well. The voice work is solid and professional. As an avid reader of sci-fi, fantasy and comics it is refreshing to see a well written, well drawn series for adults. The geek and non-geek alike should find something to enjoy and appreciate in this series. Barbaric savagery in a light hearted vein. Who could ask for more? Let's hope he stays with us for a long time.
laxcat Have you ever been to an animation film festival? Imagine one of the funniest of the violent independent animations you've seen, fill it full of gag humor like you might see on Futurama, apply a mini-epic plot, add copious amounts of heavy metal, and you've got Korgoth of Barbaria.Made by Aaron Springer of SpongeBob SquarePants fame, the brilliant pilot suggests someone who has been under the constrains of a animation for children for a little too long. While the drawing style is like few other things on TV (it really does have that independent feel), the animation direction of Genndy Tartakovsky is very apparent in the quick, jerky action oriented style, very similar to his Samurai Jack.This show shows promise like few others I've seen and is part of a lineup that will probably go down as a golden age in original programming for adultswim.
