Premiers Thursday

The Escapist is proud to present Doraleous and Associates, the newest animated series from The Hank and Jed comedy troupe. Doraleous and Associates is medieval fantasy on an epically ridiculous scale.

Watch Video

Well this looks interesting. Seems the new year brought in like 3-4 new shows. GIVE MY A-LEVELS A CHANCE GOD DAMN YOU!

Heh, that looks like it could be interesting.
Well, I hope I shan't be disappointed by the first episode, when thursday comes around and time is lost.

Uhh...

Think my brain is going to explode from all these new shows.

Can't wait!

"His urine melts steel" will be the call to prayer when I am god, followed immediatley by everyone calling out "Eoin!" as if they were saying "Shaft!"

Another one? Well the trailer didn't really say anything about the show so I guess I have no choice but to tune in.

The trailer didn't really interest me but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt for now.

Nudonia?

New-don-ia

Nude-on-a (insert noun here)

Anyway looks good, should get some laughs out of it every week.

Seems like every show is on Thursday.

How about spacing it out!

My tuesdays are decidedly movieless... just saying.

Wow there's a lot of new shows coming out, man my gaming time is going to be killed and I'm going to be spending so damn much time on The Escapist. Haha I'm pretty jobless right now. Also very interested, haven't seen much fantasy based comedy since Unforgotten Realms went belly up.

For some reason it reminds me of Unforgotten Realms...
But ye it looks good I am sure that I will at least watch the first episode.

Sweet. I am really excited for this one. We need more fantasy type shows like that and Unforgotten Realms.

this look funny.

Wait, what? It pretty clearly has a guy gathering a team to "fight evil", etc. (for a small fee) in a fantasy setting. How is that not saying something about the show? What kind of information are you looking for?

I didn't really phrase that properly. What I meant was that because there wasn't much in the trailer I couldn't get a very good first impression of the show.

hmmm interesting ... will watch and see if indeed "his urine can melt steel"

Now see this, looks like it's more capable of holding my attention.
I'll also give this a chance, like I did Game Dogs.
I'll hold out on any real opinion until then.

looks good,

i'll see the first two episodes and dicide if it's really good,

good luck, and welcome to the escapist

There needs to be better voice acting and animation. I extreamly recommend better animation.

Epic. Epic beyond scale...

Hopefully it will be better than Gamedogs.

The idea sounds interesting, there might be something in it.

should be good... brighten up my thursdays a little...

Can you show me an animated web series that comes out weekly with this "better animation" you speak of?

Animation takes time.

terry pratchett meats the Lord of the rings...that's how it looks to me

so many new shows! i pray they are all good or my hope is going to go up only to crash back down to earth in a fiery hell-storm.

ANIMATION TAKES TIME? Jesus, i thought you guys just had a korean sweatshop on standby at the rate you pump out these skits every week. Seriously, do you ever sleep?

Anyway, hope the music isn't as glaringly loud in the feature as it is in the trailer... couldn't actually hear what was said mostly, sorry!

I bet the show's gonna be good...

but...

:(

Sniff', I miss Unforgotten Realms.

its a shame that this is instantly going to be compared to unforgotten realms but im willing to give this a chance

by the way is jon etheridge trying to out do seth mcfarline or something?
3 shows launched in about a year...

Animation takes time.

You are very right in saying animation takes time and athough animation has slowed down recently I will say that newgrounds has had quiet a few animators producing work on a weekly to bi weekly bases with good quality. The angry dog series is an example if you want one. Even though it has een at it's end for sometime now all episodes where made on a weekly bases. Besides animation is nothing if you don't have a good and diverse voice acting team

Don't take this comment the wrong way as I'm simply supporting my previous comment. I understand tat the contributers to the escapist are very busy as it is without me putting in my two cents worth of critiziusm.

Don't get me wrong guys I appreciate the effort, but honestly what's with all the new shows? Shouldn't you guys just focus more on a couple rather than make a lot.

As I'm very optimistic, I'll look forward to it.

Even if my optimism has been badly damaged by a certain recent show.

I think i will reserve judgment on this one until a full episode is out, doesn't look bad but just seems like it has been done too many times before.

I'm sorry did you say Angry Dog was produced weekly basis? I can't seem to find a source for the information so if you could provide one I'd be much obliged.

As far as Doraleous goes I think you're basing a LOT of your opinion on a 45 second trailer with a few scattered clips. And while the animation my not look like a Disney film, for being produced in a WEEK with a run time of over 5 minutes... I'd say it works for what it needs to do. You can point to other samples on Newgrounds all you like but please offer a link because I would like to see these shows.

As far as the voice acting comment, again, your basing a lot on a short clip. Watch the show on Thursday and see what you think. If you think the voice acting still sucks then you can send us your reel.

I don't think it will be like Unforgotten Realms. The story isn't based on dungeons and dragons.... or... well... I guess we can inquire that since this trailer doesn't explain much...
