Korgoth of Adult Swim
I think Adult Swim has some of the best shows on TV. Robot Chicken, The Boondocks and Aqua Teen Hunger Force are all very funny and well produced shows. The network also carryies great action as well with Ghost In The Shell, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop.
There newest show Korgoth of Barbaria is the perfect combination of both genres. With the mythos of Conan The Barbarian and Thundarr The Babarian mixed with a juvenile sense of humor, all done in a colorful and detailed art that pays tribute to cartoons of the late 70's and early 80's. The art really is beautifully. I haven't seen animation this good on TV since Cowboy Beebop.
Here is how they put it. From Adult Swims upfronts: Korgoth of Barbaria: In a dark future wasteland, the cities have fallen, primordial beasts have reclaimed the globe and thieves and savages populate sparse, dirty towns. Korgoth emerges from the frozen north, and his merciless savagery may be his only key to survival. Korgoth of Barbaria is an animated fantasy-action-adventure-comedy from Aaron Springer. The half-hour pilot episode will air in September.
Here are some photos I found. All the women are sparsely dressed and have huge breasts. The action is bloody and over the top. The humor is well...let me see if I can....Korgoth after being tricked into eating a parasite to complete a mission for the "Master of Thieves" is given an antidote to kill the parasite. Only it gives him the runs. We see Korgoth sitting on a hollow stump reading the news paper while evacuating his bowels. The whole time the only sound you hear is flies and the rustle of the newspaper. The whole time the credits are rolling in a split screen. They even wait till the last second for the inevitable gas release.
Great animation and really fun to watch. Makes me wish for a new Conan movie. On a side note, I never understood why no one makes a live action Thundarr The Barbarian. You remember him don't you? Use to hang around with that hot brunette who was sparsly dressed and had big breasts and that wookie look alike named Ookla, the Mok. Here is a fun page if you don't.
Check out the show if you can put it on your Tivo, DVR whatever. I think you'll like it.
