Only seen 2 episodes so far. The best part of the show is undoubtedly the animation, but I'm sure the show will grow on me. Admittedly I was biased against the show at first because I was still upset about Moral Orel being cancelled and expectedly held some expectations for the show that were either ridiculous or irrelevant.

Yeah, this is definitely a show that you have to take on its own terms, not as a substitute for another one.

I rather enjoy this show. It puts a sick twist on history, and the characters are very well-thought. In short, I can't wait for the DVD to add to my library. I'm sure it'd compliment my [AS] weekend line-up nicely.

I like using good grammar. I also happen to have an opinion on most things.
Deal with it.

I eagerly anticipated this show for a few months because I really enjoy a lot of Dino's other work, and I have to say: complete disappointment.

 

I've read a lot of comments about how great the animation is...c'mon. The jaw hinges make everyone look similiar. Most the time you wouldn't have any idea who the people they parody were actually supposed to be if you were to just look at the figures by themselves. 

 

It isn't funny. The constant pop culture characters just make it seem gimmicky. Sometimes when they get into the minutia of the world of Frankenstein it gets a little bit interesting, but I can honestly say I was hoping that it was going to end with a "series finale" instead of a "season finale," to maybe make room for a better show. 

 

I kind of get the feeling that the suits at adultswim too late realize their error in cutting Moral Orel short and gave them this now as a consolation.

Ok I'm making this official.


I like it.


I like the art style, I like the humor (classic Orel slapstick kinda stuff)

Plus I like the provocative thinking it inspires, several times I have to wonder what exactly is Dino trying to say to me right now. He uses far-fetched situations and sometimes obvious psychological exposition but he usually gets the point across.

I like it.

LOVE it. I liked Moral Orel ok and saw most of the episodes, but I definitely like Frankenhole better.

 

Weirder. Less normal but still very satirical. 

 

I think it works well, and the animation/puppetry is just amazing.

Great show! I'm not really into reading but I would totally recommend reading Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. I think one gains a little more understanding and appreciation for the show after reading it. its a very good story.

thats it

Man I love his show. It's one of the few AS shows on now with witty diolauge and hilarious situations. Dino is a genious.

More understanding for the show? Maybe just the knowledge of Frankenstein being the Dr. and not the Monster's name :smileytongue:

Other than that, I think the normal clich'e of Frankenstein movies are enough of an understanding in my opinion.

I didn't love it at first but the more I watch it, the more I love it. I especially like it when I watch an episode the second time. I catch so much that I didn't see the first time.

I'm not in the business of seeing the things that please you.

Great show. I like everything about it. The LawerenceWolf episode was really swell. Looking forward to season 2.

I'd also love to see the banned episode on a proper dvd release.

It's just one of those shows that grows on ya.  Kinda like Lucy DOD.  Ya watch it once or twice, then ya find yourself payin attention.  Just plain fun.

Whats not to like about an offensive Italian accented Gandhi and Andy **beast** as **beast** **beast**.  I've realized recently that its rare that adult swim will air a show that's complete garbage.  Even a show as dumb as Mongo Wrestling Alliance has enough good content to satisfy anyone whose about to sleep in front of all the repeated shows and wake up to some DVR Theater gold.   For the record, i do love this show.

I've been checking out some of the more recent additions to the list of shows,  and this one stands out for me.

So, yeah...I like it.
