This is one of the worst pieces of animation out there. The drawing style is horrible, that the voice-acting sounds like it's done by middle-school boys trying to be scary and the plot and humour, or lack thereof, is simply awful. They can label it as a spoof of the sword and sorcery genre as much as they want, but it doesn't change the fact that it's just bad. Best enjoyed after a major head trauma or severe mental retardation. Avoid at all costs.

If you like Heavy Metal The Movie, Bakshi's Wizards, Conan, etc, you will love this. It was surprising how similar it is to those 70's/80's animation, with today's need to use so much digital animation.I understand the episode I saw is a pilot, but I think this show has a lot of potential.Since there was a lot of graphic violence it is appropriately rated 'MA'. However, very few language and sexual situations.There were a few references to modern items (chewing gum, newspaper, etc.) in the show, but they weren't enough to spoil the feel.My vote is for more episodes!

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!

This is Heavy Metal taken on a whole new level!Another Tartakovsky masterpiece, considering the animation, under skillful direction of Aaron. And certainly something we've not by-far used to in cartoons signed by their names.If you've liked Futurama's humorous remarks, Heavy Metal's gore & violence, the original Conan The Barbarian medieval-style (tho depicted on quite humorous way), Samurai Jack's action, all with a tint of exaggerated 'attributes' of 'maidens' similar to Manga-style, and zombie-like barbarians you can meet in Grim & Evil, you'll just love this in all it's blood and gore! Everything here is exaggerated to a point of absurd, which is actually what's so catchy and entertaining.Pure barbarian entertainment! After all, aren't we all a bit of barbarians deep inside?
