Behind The Scenes: Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal | adult swim

[@aderose]

Genndy should be in charge of more Adult Cartoons. He knows where’s it’s at.

[@kgpspyguy]

Darth S the Pyro main Uhm. Maybe you didn’t get the memo dude. Animation is a medium exclusively for tiny babies wearing tiny diapers. Live action- for big strong tough terrific boys. Animation- Babeez always.

[@Metallero_bananeroson]

I agree

[@ukiyoideas2215]

He has his own animation department now.

Primal re-establishes why animation exists. It's not just to regurgitate toy advertising for children ( which is a sickness in entertainment), or just to puppet comedic radio plays. Animation is a tool to tell stories from the imagination, to take the audience to places with a vivid unspoken language. Thankyou for finally giving the adult audience something truly magical ( and I don't mean freakn super powers).

[@francotomatillo]

Primal is one of the best things I have ever watched. Moving, powerful, gruesome, beautiful, heartbreaking and poetic.

[@LazarheaD]

The sound of the show is very effective for sure.

[@c.galindo9639]

Indeed

[@ethanruss9027]

I couldn't ask for a better animated series. Thank you, Genndy and crew! My only complaint is that there aren't more episodes yet!

[@generalrendar7290]

Plague of Madness is an absolute masterpiece!

[@DinoDiego16]

Im really glad this show gained the traction it did. Genuinely excited for what comes next with this series.

This show is proof enough that you don't need dialogue to make a show good.

[@pwnmastr]

The animation, music, and SFX (voice acting included) in this show are all Top. Notch. Seriously, you guys are amazing. Sooo psyched for season 2.

[@TheScratcherStudios]

Best piece of entertainment I have witnessed in many years. The last masterpiece before that was .... kung fury

[@nicolasriveros943]

Kung Fury's sequel Is taking ages... Hope it still on the making

[@TheScratcherStudios]

@@nicolasriveros943 Filming is long finished but its normal for editing to take WAY longer than filming. Especially when you arent a huge hollywood studio with 1mil CGI masters and weta working for you but instead are just a guy in a basement and since there isnt money for studios etc, nearly all of the things are CGI. even the police office in the original was CGI cuz of course there is no such thing in sweden (where it was made) or a way to build such a studio for free.

[@AfroVersity]

I grew up seeing Tartakovsky's name at the end of cartoon shows on Cartoon Network. He might not know this but he played a big role in me being a creative as an adult.

[@myname3074]

The episode with the old witch craft dudes that steal the essence of man to create a new baby was so deep and creative you hate them in the beginning but find sympathy for them by the end ! This is a excellent artful addition to a sad and somber adult network

[@nickthetrex]

I hope Primal comes on DVD and Blu Ray.

[@davi1415]

I really love this show. It is not often where a show can takes its time with the storytelling. There are no dialogue in the show, yet you can understand so much based on visuals and the actions of the two main characters. It makes it engaging because you are allowed to think and interpret the story the way that you want.

[@miguelangelramirez8813]

I really hope he brings back sym bionic titan soon and I can't wait for season 2

[@skit555]

Please, AS, invest more into marketing for the next season because this show definitely deserves it

[@torvovenator]

[@Xdrummer3000]

[@Dushine]

Genndy absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one, I've been a big fan since essentially Samurai Jack and Clone Wars blew me away so when I heard about this I rushed to watch it. The first 5 episodes were great but the next 5 somehow improved upon what we already had. So excited for season 2 and this is a really cool video!

[@Sydneyann99]

My favorite thing about this series. Is the non dialogue. You can feel the emotion you can tell what they're communicating to each other without words. What a beautiful masterpiece.

[@thenewmase]

Would love to see more Genndy shows around, it's like he gave us a ton of masterpieces years ago and now only does a new show every so often

Damn you for making me dream that huge. My life will not be complete now without a Tartakovsky animated Conan series.

I have been saying this as well. Spear looks like a conan

[@NSFGRDMANN]

Look up Korgoth of Barbaria, for which Tartakovsky was the animation director. The fact that it never became a series is a huge loss, but Primal feels like Tartakovsky's way of bringing us to that type of savage and primordial world.
