Any way you can see this, though, it's worth your time. Supposedly they are working on a follow-up special for Christmas this year, so maybe that will spur them to release the entire series.

There are bits and pieces of the series on Youtube, and you can watch the hunting episodes, entitled Nature, as well as the three episodes which follow it, on Adult Swim's website, but you can't purchase it (though, of course, you can find it elsewhere, not legally). They never did release the second and third seasons. The biggest tragedy of it all is that only that first, fairly mediocre season made it onto DVD. The night I finished it, I almost couldn't go in to work. I have not stopped thinking about it for a minute since I finished it a few days ago, and I have a hard time not weeping whenever it comes to mind. I am not at all kidding when I say this turned out to be the best thing I've watched all year. It's an unbelievably enormous achievement, especially considering how slight the first few episodes of the series are (honestly, if I were watching this live, I probably wouldn't have bothered seeking it out after that first season each episode only being 11.5 minutes long - yes, it does all this in 11.5 minute installments - it wasn't much of a commitment).

It's one of the most complexly structured seasons of television I've ever seen. Only in Episode 10 of 13 do we move to the events after the hunting trip, dealing with its fallout until we reach the season's and series' enormously powerful final moment. Unable to move past the season finale of Season 2, the first 10 episodes of 13 (each billed as Episode 1 of 13 and so forth), it weaves the complex story of Orel's family and the other citizens of Moralton in the days leading up to the hunting trip, often focusing on just one sentence a character speaks during those two episodes and expanding on why they would say that, the backstory of that sentence's existence. It's absolutely devastating, and it just kind of left me shaking. It starts to get pretty interesting, and then comes the final two episodes of the second season, where Orel, always an innocent before, learns the truth about his father: that in reality, he is an abusive, alcoholic *beep* While these episodes are very funny, there is an unprecedented emotional depth for any animated series I've ever seen. But Stamatopoulos and his writers add a lot of depth in that second season, and they do a lot of world and character building.

Even in the first season, it's revealed that there is a lot of darkness and misery underneath the adult characters' positive, Christian exteriors. In the second season, the writing grew a lot sharper, but, as it goes on, something happens. Like South Park, it's funny, but ultimately cheap. At the beginning, it reminded me a lot of South Park. This is the basic structure of the first season and most of the second season. He eagerly wants to do right by God, and tries to take the advice of his reverend, his parents and his elders, but that advice always leads to horrible situations (in the first three episodes he raises the dead, who of course attempt to eat everyone's brains, he gets a bunch of women pregnant and he gets addicted to crack). Oral is a young boy living in the very Christian town of Moralton, Statesota (located in the exact center of the United States, between Missouri and Kansas). It's a parody of Davey and Goliath, a religious cartoon from the '60s. Show alums Jay Johnston and Scott Adsit (best known for his role on 30 Rock) are also major artistic contributors) created this stop-motion puppet show for Adult Swim.

But overall, we're really, really proud of it.'Ĭheck out the full update from Davis below. It took me four or five months to do vocals. I think we did three or four sessions and got the record recorded. We'd do it in blocks - a week block, and write a week, and then be off, once a month.

'Every single Korn record I've ever done, the band gets all the time in the world to get their stuff done,' he continued, adding that he prefers to wait until all of the music is done before he starts writing lyrics to round out the songs.
