I am struggling to imagine how any Groo fight scene could be animated
without drawing an NC-17 rating at the movie theater, let alone during the
"Disney Afternoon" on television. Even his dining scenes would have to be
similarly censored in some way, how do you sell food advertisements
when people have just watched him eat? (chuckle)

I think the only way Groo could be a cartoon is if it were funded by a
Premium cable channel like Showtime or HBO, or if our heroes went to some
Japanamation studio to draw it.

On that last point, Japanese studios are used to depicting ultra-high
realism in their animation. Yet I doubt any of them can approach the
detail Sergio and the rest put in.
