metalocalypse
I have rapidly been becoming a rabid fan of Metalocalypse on Adult Swim. It is an 11 minute-per-episode cartoon about a death metal band called DethClock and their deadly misadventures. It's made by a guy named Brendon Small, and it turns out that he does some voices in the Venture Brothers, and also was behind the show Home Movies, which I enjoyed a great deal. What I find the most awesome is that he plays all of the killer guitar in the show, as you can see at the site, where he teaches us all to play the intro! Their website changed sometime tonight, to become covered with rainbows, horses and quiche. I am looking forward to seeing what they do next, as it's a great thing to see creativity be funded now and then. Also, I don't care what anyone says - the fact that they're showing Pee-Wee's Playhouse on adult-swim is fantastic. I just saw the episode where Jambi gets meka-leka-hi-meka-hiney-itis. And the King of Cartoons showed up with this amazing 2 minute cartoon about slave bound gnomes, the product of who's toils results in the glory of spring. Also we all learned not to take our friends for granted, but to thank them for the things they bring to our lives. Paul Reubens really put together something amazing - this show is so much more than people think. Holy Crap....In the course of looking up the imdb info for Paul, I discovered this. Transformers and a Pee-Wee movie in 2007? I think I am being even more encouraged to relive my youth! Amazing! I'm just so happy to see that, maybe, just maybe, Paul Reubens finally gets to be in the spotlight one more time. Also. Shin-Chan, which is on adult-swim also, is pretty insane. I believe it's a Japanese cartoon from 1992, which has excellent style and crazy subjects, though I hear it's been brought 'up to date' a little in the translation.
