Review of Conan the Adventurer

It is so interesting and baffling too that an animated series which was made purely for a young audience too remains the best screen iteration of Conan. By far too. It surpasses all the movie and TV series film adaptations made after it. Everything about it was so well made and so cool too. Starting with his sword which although was not consistent with the books' stories and had a mystical and supernatural origin, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED. I liked that bluish color and especially the design. I mean it is SO DAMN COOL. His friends are some of the best characters ever put on screen. Conan himself was brilliantly designed, both character and physique-wise. It's amazing how no real-life actor managed to portray Conan the way he is supposed to be: a balance of barbarian roughness and a high moral character. The 1997 series made him an overly moralistic and (thus) lame overgrown character that had nothing to do with Conan in fact... This series, even though it was made for children managed to capture that balance perfectly. Rough, sometimes crude and very tough but with a great moral character. Who was also capable of gentleness and of course, a very fair man. The series' main antagonist was also one of the coolest and badass villains ever put on screen. On the other end, in the 1997 series, the villain was a weakling old fart who could barely move and was constantly talking to a skull in boiling water... :)))))) The stories' arcs were also amazing in this show. You would not expect the kind of suspense and adrenaline this shows provides from a kids show but by golly, the producers and writers did it. There are not enough good things that I can say about this series and I just wish this had been an adult oriented show LOL.
