Around the age of 8 or 9 years old, something funny happened. I would sit in front of cartoons like Anamaniacs or Tiny Toon adventures and... I just couldn't watch them anymore. I started changing the channel to adult shows or I'd get up and find something else to do. I grew into an adult and my mind simply started to tune out the pointless children's cartoons.
That being said. There's an "animated series" and there's a "children's cartoon". Both are animated with voice acting but the two are completely different.
"Cartoons" are one dimensional with nothing but fast paced filler to keep the kiddies entertained. There really isn't any "plot" to speak of, just lots of simple humor, pointless stunts and wacky gags crammed into a small time slot to keep the kids from wandering off.
An "Animated series" is the same as any other T.V. show, only it's animated. It's on the intellectual level of an adult. There's a plot, adult situations, action, drama, emotion, humor, suspense etc. It's multifaceted and explores different levels.
Metalocalypse is a child's cartoon. Plain and simple. There's just nothing there.
The reason the "uncensored DVD" is still being censored is because it's something designed for children to watch... at least mentally. There just isn't anything in this show on any kind of adult level. It's pointless. The "humor" and format are the same you will see in any zippy kids cartoon. Voice acting is terrible. Running gags just aren't there to begin with... let alone something to keep bringing back. Every facet is one dimensional and shouldn't be viewed by anyone with an IQ over 75 or so.
Now... I love metal and always have. From grind-core and death metal to crossover thrash, classic hardcore and everything in between. I've always been a long-haired head-banger and my closet is filled with nothing but metal tees... all of which are worn on a daily. I guess maybe that's why this "show" is such a mega disappointment. I guess they figured that anyone who loves heavy metal has the mindset of a child and is mildly retarded.
They thought wrong.
As much as I've tried to like this cartoon, I just can't. I'm too old for cartoons I guess. I'm an adult -- not a child. It's not for me.
