Uhhh...cool.....I think. Maybe just a little too over the top. Not sure how I feel about that.

Genndy Tartakovsky?  Over the top?

I should certainly hope so!  

[TehPW]

This reminds more of older shows (like Heavy Metal the movie) but also like other shows this guy has made...

[M'Kyuun]

A little gory- cool. I wonder if he's going to eventually introduce sci-fi elements into it, as he usually does? Hope so.

[Mog]

As long as there’s a good story behind those crazy visuals, he’s usually done well.

Seeing a momma T-Rex defend her babies and deciding to bust the kneecap of a dick dino attacking them was an efficient way to get the point across. 

[Dobber]

See I only know him from Dexter’s Laboratory and the original Clone Wars. I know he also did other shows like Samurai Jack but I never watched it. So the Uber violent, gory tone took me off guard.

Trying to watch Sym-Bionic Titan.

Was a great show^^

 

[Mog]

I’ll admit I didn’t follow Samurai Jack too closely.  But I remember it ending beautifully.

And after the kewl factor wore off in Clone Wars Volume 1, Volume 2 came back with crazy visuals and some of the best stories for the prequels.

 Best stinkin’ version of Grievous at least.

Yeah I remember liking the longer season 2 much more. Anakins fight with Ventress was awesome! With great foreshadowing.

Trailer #2

I want ride on mammoth XD

[slide]

Someone said Genndy Tartakovsky?

Shut Up and TAKE MY MONEY!

[Mog]

Forget the mammoth!

I want a partner T-Rex that can tag team with me to take down a woolly meat feast.

Lunch teaser

Come out on 10/07

[Mog]

For a series that has so little dialogue, the stories sometimes pack a wallop and the action is straight-up bonkers.

[spacemanoeuvres]

Just binged the first five episodes and I thought it was excellent. Such a visceral story with fantastic art and animation. Can’t wait for the second half next year!

[Mog]

Season 2 (or second half of Season 1) started up yesterday.

Definitely always a visceral experience.

[mechaninac]

Thursday, July 21 - Midnight on Adult Swim... can't wait!

Adding the premier date.

[Big s]

Love this show. It’s so simple, yet artistically complex

[Mog]

Watched the first three Season 2 eps already available.

These eps “feel” slow plotwise but are still very visceral.

[jvmacross]

Second season seems slower than first....but it seems it's about to get going again

[Mog]

Considering they enslaved a bunch of folks, they kinda got what they deserved.

But give credit to Gennedy for making you feel sorry for the survivors.

Amazing how they can pull off nuances with this show.

[Mog]

Regarding Season 2, Episode 5:  well that was . . . . . . . . . different.

[jvmacross]

Caveman seems to be unstoppable....perhaps his DNA was altered by that Super Ape juice he OD'd on back in season 1....lol

[Mog]

Best way to describe the last ep?

Do NOT eff with a man’s family, dino or otherwise. 

Edited August 19, 2022 by Mog

[Mog]

Another solid ep.  

A reviewer waxed poetic about the story and the layering done here. . . and then ended the review with the most Primal of Primal observations:

Spoiler

“Oh, and Spear disembowels an elephant.”

[Mog]

Didn't understand the whole point of the numerous oar montages at the beginning, but it tied up appropriately at the end.

I understood the point of repeating the fighting scenes an episode or two ago, but I suspect someone got lazy for this one (or needed to pad the ep a little bit).
 

Spoiler

And Baby T-Rex's for the win! 

Showing one of them hit by an arrow?  Genndy, you bastard!  You know how to get our sympathies burning with RAGE.

 

[Mog]

If this is the series finale, then it ended well.

Kinda wish the final fight stretched a little longer, especially given the past history.

But a nice ending nonetheless.

Spoiler

Not a completely happy ending.  But like Samurai Jack, it’s an ending that will stick with you.

It was a hard life for Spear, but he saved and protected his new “family.”
