I think part of the reason jax is getting so much love is because of Michael Kovach. he's a good VA, and after Angel Dust, he kind of blew up in popularity.

IMO the jury is still out on whether the plot will be good or not, but the actual animation is gorgeous. Very similar to early computer games.

Prior to Digital Circus, I was unfamiliar with any of Glitch Productions' previous animated projects, so I went into DC with no expectations. I was actually taken aback by the animation and how fluid and smooth it appeared, and I was even more surprised by the voice acting. Normally, when I hear voice acting in online fan animations, comic dubs, or voice overs, etc., the VA overacts and the performance does not sound natural to me, making it difficult to immerse myself in what I'm watching. DC didn't have that. Everyone sounds natural and authentic, like they're having fun, which is a good sigh of amazing voice acting. The characters' expressions are diverse and fit their personalities well they're so cartoony and full of life. I appreciate the return of more cartoony styles and facial expressions in recent years especially with a lot of online animations, after years of seeing anime's copy and paste expressions this feels like a breath of fresh air. I love the concept of the world with characters being stuck in a point and click style adventure game and watching them overcome the madness that surrounds them. But that's about it for what I loved. The comedy got a few chuckles from me, and the glitch effects were extremely well done, but other than that, I thought it was just ok, but for some reason, it just didn't click for me. Maybe because of how much I'm desensitized to characters going through existential crisis. It has been a massive trend with animation as of late. It is a pilot, so there's more to be expanded on, but I'd give Digital Circus a 10/10 for visuals, 4/10 for story, and 8/10 for its characters.

There is nothing i hate more than the push to hate these youtube series from people who don't like them. (BionicPig isn’t one, he's got genuine criticism) The unfiltered hatred I've seen online towards these beautiful works from inexperienced artists trying to make their vision a reality is mind numbing. Nobody has to like it. But the hatred is insane. Every criticism is a damnation to these people. Any tiny drama is the worst possible crime. Hate hate hate.

I understand some of the gripes I've heard about the show but I genuinely just love it and can't wait for more.

My biggest issue I have with The Amazing Digital Circus is *I DON'T FEEL TRAPPED* in this world. There are TOO MANY implications, foreshadowings, and EASTER EGGS to the point where it takes me out of the story. But don't get me wrong... I WANT to feel trapped in this digital world. I WANT to go insane with Pomni... But it just doesn't work for me. And while I may LOVE the worldbuilding, characters, and tone... the story sadly ends up feeling like something I've already seen before. What this series TRIES SO HARD TO DO, I've seen done SOOOO MUCH BETTER in stuff like Amazon Prime's Infinity Chamber, The Matrix, and DHMIS seasons one and two.

I mean. Every fandom sexualizes ita characters. Every single one that has adults. Which is most of them.

Now let's see how long it takes for those "questionable channels" to start spamming content with digital circus.... it's only a matter of time until we get the epic crossover of skibidi toilet vs Jax

But I'm excited to see how the characters are fleshed out. And I don't get why there's a bunch of sexual stuff on the show either. I just thought it was a cool like liminal horror type of thing.

I personally enjoyed this show because I honestly still can't get over mascot horror. It's been my favorite genre since fnaf came out. I think the biggest problem with the genre is the lack of creativity in a lot of works. A lot of mascot horror games are feel like they're just copying fnaf and trying to be the current popular thing.

Like, there's a reason why pretty much *everyone* thought of mascot horror when this released, it has a similar style and presentation, even if it doesn't share the same specifics. But it definitely is horror, it's just purely psychological this time, which I don't think has been done in this creative space before. Like... The fact that this pilot does a better job of making me feel existential dread than like... 90% of Lovecraft media, whose whole thing is existential dread, is the reason why I genuinely love the pilot to a degree I didn't at all expect.

@@cantmakeacreativename2072 I'm just being super specific. The term "mascot" in ascot horror literally comes from the monster being a "mascot". Like, FNAF is the most blatant, but the same is true with Poppy Playtime and from what I know of it Bendy and the Ink Machine isn't that exactly, but the enemies are still easily marketable characters. That's actually another thing I like about this show; where you'd expect to see an easily marketable character the creators could sell merch for, you have amorphous black masses. I can't guarantee it but it feels purposeful. "Hey guys, we aren't making over designed characters just to sell toys! Our primary goal is a good piece of fiction, not franchising!"

Tbh I'd love for some show or series or something to do the Jax stereotype but actually make the character an unfeeling sociopath. Like make the character a jerk which insults people, manipulates people and even maybe does physical stuff to them (Like Jax putting centipedes in Agatha's room or breaking mask guy's happy mask) for no other reason than they're an asshole and all the characters just gotta deal with it because they can't really leave. I feel like Jax could actually be a pretty good candidate for that because while usually 'chilled out mellow' characters can sometimes be annoying to the other characters, I feel like in the pilot Jax sorta deliberately tries to make other people suffer.

It's still amazing the guys who were working on this were the guys who made Mario hump spaghetti

its a bit overhyped when considering that only the pilot is out and yet people are already calling it the best show ever but whatever

I'm in my 30s, and I loved the humor of this series, so I don't think it's an age thing. It's just a preference thing. XD And, my personal favorites was Jax and Ragatha, with Kinger being a sleeper-runner up as he's gotten me chuckling more then I expected.

I just knew this show would be absolutely decimated by the internet and its kinks when I saw Jax, Caine, Kingler, and Pomni. A clown, people who have traits of the tumblr sexymen and then a insane person, the favorite group the internet loves.

been following Alex Rochon for over a decade now and i'm just happy he got to be part of something that grew this big this quickly. He absolutely fits funny teeth man

jax is like the modern kokichi from danganronpa for teenage girls

Honestly I really liked the pilot! I was so hyped, I honestly think I like it better than Helluva Boss, sorry Vivz. I will agree that if it's going for horror, it is not it. I see it as more of a comedy with a hint of darkness. EDIT: Kinger is my spirit animal. Also the reason there is so much Jax stuff is because the VA was literally like, "yeah, you can draw porn of me"

I think its got a great story ahead of it! I love the chaotic and hopeless feeling you get even in a brightly colored world. Its silly but has enough potential to be something! The voice acting was pretty great too 👍

"Bugs Bunny...with a little bit of sass to him". Soooooo...Bugs Bunny?

"I don't think I've ever seen an animated character get this thirsted over this much." May I introduce you to "Jaiden Animations".

Yeah you got to separate the fans from the show sometimes. As someone who has been in a lot of fandoms some of this stuff is standard issue unfortunately but it doesn’t stop me from enjoying the show! I think one reason the fandom has blown up so much in such little time is because the shows humor and themes is tailored for people who grew up on the internet

I don't consider this as "Mascot Horror". That "Genre", if you can call it that, primarily revolves around the villain being recognisable and marketable. A "Mascot" of sorts. Earlier indie horror games such as Slender or the first Five Nights at Freddy's game contained traces of this, but the genre as we know it did not come into play until later. Five Nights at Freddy's was rooted in nostalgic horror. Its scares were tied directly to how similar they were to Chuck E Cheese and peoples twisted memories of those same locations. However, these parodical characters took on a life of their own, becoming recognisable, marketable and popular outside of their association with the real life stuff they were inspired by. They became mascots. Others have since seen how popular and marketable this can be, and made games structured entirely around their marketable villains. Bendy and the Ink Machine, it's sequel The Dark Revival, Poppy Playtime, Garten of Banban, Hello Neighbor etc. There are some games that are lumped in with mascot horror despite only focusing on childhood nostalgia for their theming. Games like Tattletail (based on Furbies) and My Friendly Neigborhood (based on Sesame Street) come to mind. The Amazing Digital Circus is a love letter to old video games and CG graphics, with recognisable characters that each pull from familiar and nostalgic aesthetics. Although the wild west on the internet will be naturally drawn to the striking and expressive characters just like they have for Helluva Boss, Undertale or even the Onceler from Illumix's "The Lorax", these designs were clearly designed for the art of the show first. And finally, on the show's comedy, pacing and styling, this show feels like it was created by people born and raised on the internet, for an audience to match. For this reason, I'd give this show an age rating of 15-25. That's the demographic that will understand this project and its "Gen Z Humor" the most.

Plot twist: The real inspiration for TADC was that Yugioh story where the cast got stuck in a virtual world by those Kaibacorp executives

"sexual jokes" as Angel Dust slowly fades into view is the funniest thing I have seen today.

I'm surprised you don't find the jokes funny. I'm 27, and almost every single joke hit for me, especially with Jax and Gangle. Maybe my liking Jax is the reason why his jokes hit me so hard. Cain's jokes also had me laughing really early into the episode.

its a collection of overused character tropes as is, the deciding factor will be seeing if they bring anything more unique than just an artstyle

Bro, the rule of the internet: if it can be drawn, it can be fucked.

I lived under a rock and didn't know about this show til your upload. I looked up the pilot because I was curious, and NOW MY ENTIRE YT RECOMMENDED IS NOTHING BUT VIDEOS RELATED ABOUT IT. ....Well, at least it isn't Family Guy clips...

I think my main gripe was that so many of those fish eye lens anime face moments for Pomni just don’t feel totally earned emotionally to me? It felt like it expected me to care like,,, at all,, that she was feeling so overwhelmed that she’s dissociating, but idk any of these characters. I don’t care about them, I’m not invested in them yet, so it just felt like it was trying a little too hard to be like “hello fellow kids, existential crises, am I right? ;D” I’ve seen enough existential crisis and dissociating jokes before that it just felt a little over the top and awkward. It took me out of the moment more than anything else. I think the show’s got potential for sure, so whoever the target demographic is, I hope they enjoy. We’ll see if it’s smth I end up liking, but sadly, I’m not too terribly gripped by it yet. The character designs and animation are great though, so I’ll give them credit there.

The writing is hit or miss with the humor, but it got at least a couple chuckles out of me and I'm early 20s so it's not the worst. I actually liked the writing of this better than a lot of the writing in Helluva Boss, and it's a pretty cool concept. I don't care for Jax much but I can see his character being written better later on.

Appreciate the video and all the others. Long time fan of your channel. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one burned out on this genre. I have enjoyed your videos on similar projects though, like Bird Boy.

What I haven’t heard enough of is the meme of when Gangle is speaking to Kinger, who isnt focused, and when he looks at Gangle he lets out a yell. Reminds me of The Office with Dwight and the blonde chick meme.

The oversaturated colour-scheme wasn't chosen to be "cartoony," it was chosen to invoke the early years of 3D animation. Go look at Pixar's first animated shorts from the 90s for examples of this. Everything is bright, shiny, and sterile in a way that feels distinctly artificial. That "overbearing" sensation is extremely intentional, as emphasized by the shift to more realistic lighting and colour seen in the office segments. It's a pro, not a con.

Everyone has their own sense of humor

You "I am 20 and I might be to old for this jokes." Me "I am 30 and I laughed a lot throught this."

My little conspiracy theory is that Michael Kovach is part siren, and that's why people... _react_ the way they do to characters he voices.

At this point when it comes to online series in particular, I stay in my own lane. I love The Amazing Digital Circus and I’m gonna enjoy it. Now in terms of the fandom, I’m gonna avoid it like a goddamn plague. When it comes to my personal enjoyment towards the show, I love the amount of effort you can see that was put into it. And it gives me a sense of almost like liminal spaces, which I like. The cons are completely understandable though, not everything is for everyone, which I wish more fandoms understood-

Honestly, personally, i loved everything about it. It does everything i love and more

Considering I just stumbled upon this pilot not knowing anything about it, here’s my take. I liked it, it’s actually an original idea and I like the mystery surrounding it, I liked the characters and I do agree the humor could be worked on. While it was very engaging and entertaining I felt the humor needs work. But they nailed the world building and gave some nuggets of lore and Caine knowing more than he’s letting on(Jax as well). It’s a very solid foundation to build on. If they work on the humor, and character interactions, plus fleshing the characters out(maybe give some clues to their human lives, or start remembering who they were) it can turn into some great storytelling.

I had a smile on my face the whole time watching this pilot.
