Korgoth of Barbaria (2006 TV Short)
9/10
So pitch perfect it was hard to believe
11 July 2006
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.
