CrassActionHero Korgoth of Barbaria is a fresh new adult swim cartoon. The pilot episode shows us what we are in for! This show's fight scenes are gruesome and often hilarious! Korgoth is the total bad ass barbarian that fears no one, and drinks like a fish. Korgoth fights extremely all-out! From ripping people's faces off to slicing others completely in half! Bottom line, the violence is WAY over the top, but fun to watch! Just remember, this is on Adult Swim for a reason! I look forward to more Korgoth! The Last Word: Korgoth rules! A man's show with a manly hero. I will buy the season 1 DVD as soon as it's available! Don't miss this! BTW, the music rules!

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.

michael_the_nermal For once, The Cartoon Channel has done something right for their "Adult Swim" lineup. This cartoon is a lovely parody of the sword-and-sorcery movies, such as "Conan the Barbarian." It is filled with extremely goofy and exaggerated violence and swordplay. It seems like the sort of cartoon John Krikfalusi would do if he were to choose a parody of the barbarian genre (instead, he choose to make the witless new "Ren and Stimpy"). So far, only one episode has been shown, but this new cartoon looks promising. It follows in the same footsteps as the 1981 classic adult cartoon "Heavy Metal," which had some sword and sorcery parodies in their "Den" and "Taarna" sequences, both of which also had over-the-top comic and cartoonish violence. "Korgoth" also features beautiful decapitations, oceans of blood, and grotesque lines of odor emanating from the fetid barbarians. I love the gross touch the cartoonists have made, with flies buzzing around the protagonist as he urinates. Clearly, this cartoon wants you to REALLY experience the smelly world of barbarians.It should be good, as the creator was the storyboarder for "Spongebob Squarepants," already a classic kiddie cartoon that also appeals to adults. Hopefully, Cartoon Channel should pick this one up. If they do, be sure to tune in and see if the quality of the cartoon remains constant.

leinad_slin If you like splatter movies and film/ comic violence in general, this is the show for you! Great dialog, great everything. Personally I think this is the very best cartoon show on TV by the creature of Spongebob! And seeing that this is the first episode, I think the best ones are yet to be made. Not that the pilot is bad or anything. I love the fact that Korgoth is a straight forward type: when he get's a chance, he makes love to a chick, when he gets angry, he punches someone down. You just have to love him. So do check out the series for your and the shows sake. This is a hit waiting to be seen by those who do and those who don't like it!
