Korgoth of Barbaria

This is the kind of show America has been needing for a long time. Blood, Violence and the occasional maiden in distress. Korgoth meets all the needs of teenagers who are tired with the Disney channel and Nickelodeon cartoons. This show needs to be kept alive for as long as possible. The best part of the show is that you don't expect what comes next. He may ride a giant bird, or chop a body in half. This randomness doesn't occur often in cartoons, well neither does a lot of blood and violence. Thank you Aaron Springer for creating this show.

This is Heavy Metal taken on a whole new level!

Another Tartakovsky masterpiece, considering the animation, under skillful direction of Aaron. And certainly something we've not by-far used to in cartoons signed by their names.

If you've liked Futurama's humorous remarks, Heavy Metal's gore & violence, the original Conan The Barbarian medieval-style (tho depicted on quite humorous way), Samurai Jack's action, all with a tint of exaggerated 'attributes' of 'maidens' similar to Manga-style, and zombie-like barbarians you can meet in Grim & Evil, you'll just love this in all it's blood and gore! Everything here is exaggerated to a point of absurd, which is actually what's so catchy and entertaining.

Pure barbarian entertainment! After all, aren't we all a bit of barbarians deep inside?

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.

Another wonderful piece of work from the brains behind Spongebob Squarepants,although don't be fooled by who made it,this isn't your little kids cartoon,while this is drawn by Genndy Tartakovski (from Rugrats,and various others) it has a very big feel along the same lines as Heavy Metal (not 2000)with the nitty gritty animation,metal soundtrack,and violence galore!though the pilot's just getting around now,I think this show could be another hit for Cartoon Networks Adult Swim lineup!although the title may suggest that this is a Midievil based cartoon series,that's actually an incorrect statement,as the story actually takes place years in the future,in a very bleak future where it seems as though all the worlds cities and structures have crumbled,forcing people to "regress" to an earlier time frame,this being why it seems so medieval.though somethings apparently still carry over to this time frame (ie-Bubblegum wrapped up like Juicy Fruit gum) and some other things that i can't think of at the moment,just watch it and see for yourself.

This show is awesome I just wanted to get that out there before i went over it. The show makes fun of barbarians and stuff like that, the over the top violence in this show makes it absolutely hilarious. The fight scenes in this remind me of my 11th grade honors English class when me and my friends would talk about fight scenes that would be awesome. This show is very funny and i hope it does well in the future. The show deserves to be on Adult Swim, and it fits in nicely, so i think you should go out and watch it.

OH i almost forgot, one liners in this show are killer, as well as the creatures he fights. Check it out you won't regret it
