How sad is this?

Absolutely Fantastic

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Korgoth of Barbaria!!! Ever since having watched "The Barbarians" (1987) -an admittedly poor movie- as a kid, I have been on the seemingly never-ending quest for some at least equally good barbarian entertainment. Just by chance I heard of an adult cartoon named "Korgoth of Barbaria" in which Genndy Tartakovsky (Whom I highly venerate since "Dexter's Laboratory") is involved. And now, finally, after years of searching I have found The ultimate barbarian!!!Korgoth is the most entertaining action cartoon ever! It contains over-the-top violence that is tamed by the never missing hilarious humor of the series. I could hardly stop laughing when I saw the prime episode for the first time. It is just so funny. I actually watched it four times in a row because I could just not believe that I was actually watching the cartoon I've been dreaming about since I was a kid. But do not be mistaken. This is definitely not a cartoon for children. It is one though for grown-ups who are still in touch with their inner child. If you appreciate some good adult entertainment, you're in for one hell of ride.

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!

Korgoth of Barbaria's pilot episode is extremely impressive. The animation is great.The pilot episode displays a whole lot violence, if it's either Korgoth slicing people with the giant axe or him setting ripped up people on fire. The theme song is a great thrash metal piece, and the show is filled with lots of violence, considering it's from a writer from that kid-friendly cartoon Spongebob.Jam-packed with gore and an awesome plot(it's about a post-apocalyptic world and Korgoth is from the North and he must fight evil) with really good animation.All in all, a 9.6, a great cartoon, hope more episodes come. I mean, if "Superjail" got instantly picked up for a show, how come this didn't? (I've got nothing against "Superjail", but this needs to be picked up too, Adult Swim says you can't handle more than one. Is that so?)

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.
