From the creators of Wonder Showzen is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Xavier is a strange creature who claims to be a spirit guide searching for his father's killer, but most of the time he's just a moron or a jerk. He wanders the earth with his echoing voice and snake left arm, trying to help people he meets, but he just ends up causing chaos and destruction wherever he goes. The computer animation looks awful, which initially almost prevented me from watching it, but it ended up not being a problem and even a part of the series' strange charm. Xavier's really a great character, and his endless, confusing speeches and interactions with the people he encounters are almost always hilarious.
As the show goes on, the focus shifts a bit from weird comedy to weird experimentalism. It's still funny, but there's a lot of introspection as the truth of Xavier's youth becomes revealed to him. The last couple episodes in particular are not like the rest, with a slightly creepy tale of a gorilla becoming the spiritual leader of the planet and a drawn out argument between Xavier and himself. Although sometimes it's hard to stomach the main character, the show is still usually very funny and a unique experience to watch. It's a bit off-putting at first, but worth checking out.
