So yeah, this a has already been shown a few times, first on Friday night Fix, then Saturday June 3, but what the heck.
Description:
"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."
Pilot - Korgoth is infected with a deadly parasite and blackmailed by Gog-Ma-Gogg into stealing an item known as the "Golden Goblin of the Fourth Age" from the wizard Specules.
Episode Review:
I enjoyed this pilot quite a bit, good use of ultra violence: beaten with own arm and man set on fire just a few minutes in is always a good sign. I love how hideous everyone looks, like the guy that says "Wait. Listen..." early in the pilot.
The giant pigeon bit was funny, "Hey you dumb bird!" + bitten in half.
The showdown with Specules was funny, and the action scenes were really well animated.
4/5
Series thoughts:
This is definitely an animator's show, headed by Aaron Springer of Spongebob, Billy and Mandy, and Dexter, as well as Gennedy Tartakovsky with an animation credit. It has a great good ol' hand drawn animation, and hand done backgrounds.
Tom Kenney shows up doing a variation of his patchy the pirate voice as the main henchman of Gog ma Gogg. Korgoth is voiced by Diedrich Bader doing his Hoss Delgaldo voice. Acting on Specules was really great.
The only thing I'd like to see is what they have planned for the long run, because the show right now, even though the pilot is great, needs a something a little more if its going to hold up over a few episodes.
