Made by the Futurama and Simpson guys, a Matt Groening show. More of a fantasy show with heavy comedy than a comedy show. Very, very strong continuity between episodes. This thread reminds me there are probably a new season or two out by now I need to go watch.
I watched this in the wake of K-Pop Demon Hunters. I am not the biggest fan of its animation aesthetic, but I got used to it. What caught me off guard is that the writing is pretty solid. This is also a very strong continuity show, one long plotline. Can you tell my interest in episodic animation is dead, now?
Honestly, it has been a very long time since I've watched this, but I feel like it should get a special mention. I dunno if it would stand the test of time, but it was both incredibly refreshing for the time (2004) while also parodying a lot of anime and videogame stuff I loved.
A show I was obsessed with for a few years. Metalocalypse was king of media in my life for a while. I had the first two Dethklok albums on CD. One of my most recent regrets is I had tickets to see Dethklok and Babymetal together in concert and did not go because depression was eating at me, and I just didn't want to go out. That was so fucking stupid. I want to punch my past self.
Fuckin love Metalocalypse. And it gets kind of intense towards the end, I still need to watch Army of the Doomstar. Doomstar Requiem is honestly probably one of the best albums I've ever heard from any band ever.
Also, I used to love Megas XLR too. Such a weird "rule-of-cool" show. An alien shows up with a device that turns your car into a giant mech? And then you have to defend your planet (and the galaxy) from giant creatures? Hell yes.
