Primal

I had the chance to catch a preview screening of the first four episodes of Primal on the big screen in Los Angeles. This is the most stunning piece of animation I've seen in years. It completely immerses you in a rich, fantastic world. The character designs are brilliant. The action is awesome. And it does it all without a single word of spoken dialogue. A triumph of visual storytelling.

This perhaps one of the best series Adult Swim has made in a long time, being another great excellent series by Genndy Tartakovsky, with impressive animation and a great atmosphere.

Amazing how the lack of dialogue actually works incredibly well for this series: The rule "Show, don't tell" is at full display here, and it has an excellent dramatic effect.

It feels more cinematic than many modern dialogue-driven action movies.

In the 1970's Marvel Comics ran a series of comics in its own series called Devil Dinosaur, it was about a intelligent verbal primate who saved a dinosaur similar to the one here , only red hence the name, and the minute they bonded was sparked to the memory of the characters in the comic and this screamed in my head the joys from the pages into an awesome animation spectacle which is so richly done! Two species fighting for their lives and each other bound by circumstance created in such a way that entertaining , powerful and richly drawn with rich hues of saturated prime colors. I'm going to be saddened knowing it will end. Since the days of Dexters Lab to Samurai Jack i have enjoyed the creators style, this I hope brings more for us to enjoy on the fringe. Thank You Mr. Tartakovsky for your stellar work.

A thrilling, passionate show with cool prehistoric dinosaurs and creatures - you build a bond with it's two relatable leads and understand their anger, sadness, fear, amusement, happiness and curiosity; and neither even speaks a word. The animation and art style is fantastic and the jurassic landscape that Spear and Fang inhabit is immersive and atmospheric. I highly recommend this show to anyone looking for well-made animated storytelling (if you can handle the brutality in both it's themes and imagery).

I was pleasantly surprised.

Actions are louder than words. This can be seen here as well. It's a true piece of art and distributes some good values: loss and its coping mechanisms, bravery, friendship, survival, loyalty.

It's a good one. I highly recommend.

It's definitely nothing for younger children but aged 7 and up could watch that. Europeans aren't that strict and since it's animated it's kind of okay and has really good values.
