Is It Any Good?

Every D&D party has (or should have) one barbarian who charges into battle well before knowing what the battle is, who the enemy is, and whether or not anyone is even actually fighting. That age-old fantasy trope is the foundation of Tigtone, and viewers will likely find it precisely as funny or unfunny as they would if and when it happens in their own campaign. Unsettling animation and grotesque humor contribute to the satire, which should satisfy fans of fantasy and adult animation, even if none of it is truly surprising.
