Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil has arrived!!!
(Lucy, la figlia del diavolo è arrivato!!!)
Who knew homicidal nuns, manic-depressive priests and nonsensical setups, like the Devil and Jesus engaging in a dashboard-bongo jam session while driving across the desert to get to the Burning Man festival, could be so much fun?

His latest creation is a computer animated series for [adult swim] aptly titled Lucy, Daughter of the Devil. Set in current day San Francisco, the series follows Lucy, the twenty-one year old daughter of Satan, and the relationship between her new boyfriend DJ Jesus (pronounced HEY-soos), and her always present father, Satan.

Bouchard tells us he got the idea for the show while watching Damien: The Omen II, and though it would be funny to do a series about a teenage child of Satan.

"Lucy" stands out from the pack to the point that we're hoping she'll be leading us into temptation for many a season to come.

It's just another adorable family sitcom. To me, it's a really sweet father-daughter story.

From an animation standpoint, "Lucy" looks nothing like other cartoons currently in production, thanks in large part to a company called Fluid, based out of San Francisco. "We really wanted it to look pretty," Bouchard said of the animation style. "We wanted it to look really iconic and fun to look at. We wanted the backgrounds to be gorgeous."

My children, we have long heard talk of the antichrist, the most evil offspring the world will ever know: the son of the devil. But in the latest late-night cartoon on Adult Swim, Satan’s spawn isn’t a boy at all—it’s a hipster, indie rock, cool girl

Finally, would you be open to the idea of a “Lucy” feature? BOUCHARD: Hell yes, of course. We try to have movie things happening all the time in “Lucy.” We really want it to feel like an 11-minute horror movie from the ’70s. So a “Lucy” feature seems really natural to me. But it would be funny if we released it and it was only 11 minutes.

You might not like Lucy, but I do, its funking insane. Jesus as a Criss Angel-acting DJ doing escape tricks at karaoke night (Escapeoke) at the devil's taqueria while the Devil sings Pat Benatar's Shadows of the Night? Fried gold.

it bears the mark of Adult Swim, a peculiar aesthetic in which the extremely grand and the extremely trivial are forever entwined.

As you can imagine, a guy like me absolutely adores this show. It also doesn’t hurt that Bouchard has found a very innovative new studio, Fluid, to do the animation work.
