We are clearly living in a golden age for adult animation and in the middle of this new era it was clear that some great shows were inevitably going to go unnoticed by a lot of people. Gary and His Demons is unfortunately one of those shows that flies completely under the radar due to similarities to other shows.

This show is completely up my street, this is exactly my sense of humour. The show follows a demon hunter who over the years has become fed-up with his job and has slowly slipped into a pretty dark place. The juxtaposition of the creative demon designs and Gary's couldn't care less attitude is really funny and helps give the show a fresh feel.

Of course as an exploration of nihilism with a depressed protagonist done through animation inevitably this was going to draw comparisons to Rick and Morty especially with the season's harsh and uncompromisingly brutal ending. Personally I don't think the show ever quite escapes Rick and Morty's admittedly large shadow but does manage to serve as a good substitute while it's not on the air.

This is still a new show finding it's voice. I'm curious to see if they decide to go for a season 2 or not as I think there is still some untapped potential with this idea.

Overall for fans of the new wave of adult animation check this out.
