Harry Partridge & Starbarians - Episode III is finally here

[LN 910]

Episode 3 is out.

For those not in the know Starbarians is this series of bloody, gory, offensive, politically incorrect and absurdly well animated series of shorts by animator Harry Partridge. This series in particular is quite the novelty among his cartoons (which include Stephen The Lesbian and Saturday Morning Watchmen) because it took t̶w̶e̶l̶v̶e̶ six years to make, with pretty much all of it being animated by him with breaks to make other stuff inbetween.

This episode is part of either a trilogy or quadrilogy called "The Strange Creatures that Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up with the Starbarians", with episode 2 being the beginning of the narrative.

I'm making this thread because the new episodes were apparently animated back to back, so there might actually be more coming soon to talk about. Also expect a high amount of salt, because I've seen people on twitter get legitimately mad at Starbarians existing.
Going through his uploads I've noticed the guy loves drawing his alien breasts lmao, yet still the guy doesn't seem to powerlevel his degeneracy on social media or in interviews. What a shining example of how to avoid controversy and not be an utter embarrassment.

 

[Jaded Optimist]

Yes! I just watch the first 2 1/2 videos for nostalgia sake a few nights back.

Edit: just finished it. Good episode, just like he never stopped making them.

 

[Fandom Trash]

2019 is looking to be a good year!

I love his animations and Im just glad he making more of them.

 

[Desire Lines]

harry is like one of the only animators on youtube to not switch to low-quality content after the adpocalypse, i really admire his work ethic and i hope he gets even more support

 

[Admiral Mantoid]

The lack of HP toons in 2018 almost left me in a state of withdrawal.

This was also in the comments for the latest episode.

This is important because a few years ago he declined getting a Patreon. Evidently even he hates that it took him this long to produce Episode 3.

What you're seeing is him making fun of James Cameron for creating the Na'vi to be as sexually appealing as possible.

Spoiler

The fact that I had to get this from a scalper who uploaded in potato quality instead of Harry's own Youtube account is kind of disgusting to me.

I'm glad he finally came to his senses and let his fans help bankroll him some. I was genuinely starting to think he just burned out.

 

[morbidly-obese-steven]

Nice to see him coming back! Have seen some new stuff from old favs like PsychicPebbles late year and Harry returning would be awesome, too.
A bit offtopic but does OneyNG/Chris Oneil whatever do animations anymore?

If you've got people willingto give you money, you don't say no.

 

[Y2K Baby]

Took him a while.

 

[cecograph]

Harry is awesomely talented and I love many of his videos. This is the one I've shared the most:

Harry attracted the attention of the BBC, who did this pretty decent mockumentary:

David Firth got the BBC's attention back in the day on Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe. But it turned out he didn't need them. That guy is now killing it on Patreon.

I am not surprised he finally cave in to using Patreon considering how long this animation took to make it and it end up being 7 minutes long.

That's some shitty SEO, I directly put his name and the movie in the search engine together and that potato-vision video was all I could find.

He's a Youtuber now, of course not.

If you've got people willingto give you money, you don't say no.

My bet is he was holding out for so long because he was trying to save face after the Kickstarter parody & he didn't want to look like a massive hypocrite.

High quality animation like his is going to take forever to make, money or no money.

Perhaps Harry will start hiring people and set off the western version of the edgy anime scene.

 

[ShittyRecolor]

Always worth the wait.

 

[Duncan Hills Coffee]

Harry came out with another animation. Not Episode 4, but a series focusing more on Killgar and his culture.

Funny stuff.

 

[Duncan Hills Coffee]

Almost a year later, he's back with another short.

I would dig this as a series.
