Xavier: Renegade Angel is an American adult animated television series created by Vernon Chatman and John Lee, who are also the creators of Wonder Showzen. The show was produced by PFFR, with animation by Cinematico. It premiered on November 4, 2007, on Adult Swim and November 1, 2007, on the Adult Swim website.
Xavier features an elaborate and nonlinear plot following the musings of an itinerant humanoid pseudo-shaman named Xavier. The show is known for its use of ideologically critical dark comedy as well as surrealist and absurdist humor presented through a psychedelic and satirically New Age lens. The program is also normally rated TV MA for intense, graphic, often bloody violence, as well as strong sexual content, use of racially/ethnically offensive language, and grotesque depictions in a comedic manner.
