New Series “Brutus the Bound” Brings Buckets of Blood

From the warped noggin of Joe Croson (and animators Exit 73 Studios) comes the trailer for a web series called “Brutus the Bound: Infinite Gladiator.” Here’s what they want you to know:

“Brutus, a great warrior from a distant planet, is ripped from his past and taken to the future of an evil Overlord. The Overlord holds Brutus’ family hostage, and binds Brutus in a temporal harness, forcing him to become an Infinite Gladiator, fighting opponents throughout time and space.”

I don’t understand most of that description, and a couple words, but here’s what we think you should know: from the brief, minute-and-a-half YouTube clip it appears to be an amusing, adventurous gore-fest with animation reminiscent of Samurai Jack or some other kid-focused cartoon – but for adults! So if you didn’t grow up watching cartoons and/or don’t enjoy over-the-top gore in your TV or movies we can’t be friends this probably isn’t the series for you. In fact, a lot of current shows might not be for you, considering the success of uber-violent shows like Superjail! and newcomer King Star King.

However, if this sounds like it tickles you in just the right place, pull up a chair and join us if & when this show takes off, because Brutus the Bound looks like a bloody good time.
