neutral · AI labelView post →Has anyone else watched this Genndy Tartakovsky show Primal? The first season was sort of an episodic novelty, but I'm into the second season now and it is completely fucking me up emotionally.
positive · AI labelView post →Primal Season 3 continues to be at the top of its game in Week 2, as it’s quickly become clear that the show has no interest in only giving us a zombified version of Spear walking around for the whole season. Our review: https://bit.ly/4pKaPVX
neutral · AI labelView post →This is the best possible project for Genndy Tartakovsky. Like this is the peanut butter to his magical artistic jelly. Primal was already a great Conan series now he gets to do an actual Conan series its insane.

Tartakovsky’s Primal animated series was some of the best sword & sorcery fiction ever produced, in any medium. That fact bodes well for this Conan series. #swordandsorcery #genndytartakovsky #conanthebarbarian #fantasy #dailynerdfix

neutral · AI labelView post →Invalid list. There are no animated shows here. "But BoJack Horseman's there." SHOWS. Plural. Also, BoJack being the lone animated series on this list while Samurai Jack, Gravity Falls, Primal, Bob's Burgers, Arcane, Archer, Regular Show, Adventure Time and many others exist? I reject that.

positive · AI labelView post →Man, this season of PRIMAL was absolutely emotionally brutal. It was hard to watch, despite still being the most beautifully animated American show right now. This season felt like it was built to hurt you for watching it.
