As a comedy, this really kneecaps itself by putting all its' worst jokes at the start. Every attempt at humor in the first 5 minutes is stale and embarrassing, the first joke to actually land is spinning XDDCC on the name wheel, and even that relies mostly on the timing of Cain's response.
>haha look the censoring is diegetic!! she swears and it makes wacky sounds!!!
>we've got so many fun activities like *30 seconds of loud static*!!
>ooOOOooo it's LE VOID (we don't talk about le void oooOOOoooo)
>haha lol look she VOMITED and now the bubble thing is EATING IT gross lol (y r u liek dis >_<)
All awful, juvenile attempts at le wacky internet humor that other media has already done better anyways. Why would you pick this shit to lead with for your *comedy* web cartoon?
Wouldn't be surprised if the first ~5 minutes were mostly written directly by Gooseworx xerself and the rest was handled by actual competent staff writers.
Oh great, are we in the contrarian phase now?
naw, that implies anon's criticisms are done purely for contrarianism
but it's true and valid just like xer
Literally none of OP(You) criticisms are even actual criticisms, this thread is just autism, bait or both.
It's just shazam spamming again. If it was real criticism they would have put it in the thread that's already up.
How is it not real criticism? OP clearly listed out his problems with the show.
All the co-contraire
My criticism of TADC is that the scenes with the worm were kind of all over the place. None of that landed for me.
Yes, of course. Everything's being expedited because people couldn't stop themselves before spamming threads. People are gonna hate your ass for posting about this show in a week.
>Hasn't been on the internet long enough to be able to deal with the mania phase
>People are gonna hate your ass for posting about this show in a week.
People hate your ass for posting about this show right now. This is Cinemaphile. People hate everybody.
>any sort of criticism is "le contrarian"
you homosexuals are so thin-skinned
I like the show but he has a point, I watch it for the spectacle, like a circus.
>I like the show but he has a point, I watch it for the spectacle, like a circus.
>I watch it for the spectacle
Why are you acting like this is some ancient cartoon that's run for 25 seasons?
It's one fricking animation.
>now
Always have been.
Where do you think we are? Cinemaphile has been in it's contrarian phase since 2004. Liking things has always been looked down on.
Never left
I was contrarian before it was cool, which it isn't
Shut the frick up
My favourite joke was kinger shaking violently after Jax calls him and the other one the most mentally stable.
My favorite joke by far
>Kinger moves to rescue Zooble's head
>"Gotcha!"
>the gloinks simply continue on with his hands
>...
>oh
That one was good to. So far:
Kinger>>>>>else
The movement humor in the show was on point.
really does feel like a childrens show
actually thats kind of stupid of me, it literally is made to appeal to the 12-20 twitter undertale hazbin hotel crowd
The Deltarune inspirations are rather obvious.
But there's nothing wrong with that.
I couldn't get past the first minute. I felt like a creep watching something for 12 year olds.
Either you missed the heads up at 40 seconds or you really turned it off way too fast.
homie you're on Cinemaphile
Anyone on Cinemaphile can't possibly say this truthfully.
If watching a kids cartoon makes you feel creepy its because you have a weird thing about kids and should stay far from them
And then there are homies like this who watch nick jrs show for a living. Fricking YIKES!
>it's a bluey rip off
Oh yeah 2 siblings and 2 parents never existed in cartoons before
Cinemaphile is the most autistic mentally ill manchild board on Cinemaphile.
>I felt like a creep watching something for 12 year olds.
Where do you think you are?
Yes zoomers are stunted just like millennials
Glitch really kneecapped themselves with the art style. If they were going for a spongebob-tier audience, so be it. The issue is that the show hypes up promises of lore, and disjointed humor for the demographic.
The setting, humor, and art style is too childish for the series to work as a ‘mature’ show. For all the b***hing about HB or HH, they at least have a more sophistication premise. Yes the swearing is excessive, sure the setting is atheist edgelord territory, but HH is not a children’s show. With only small tweaks ADC could easily be on base Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network.
jesus christ it's someone who actually thinks "swearing = mature"
out in the wild!
i never thought i'd see one!
I don't really know where they're going to go with Pomni
The ending of the pilot feels too final, like Pomni has nothing to do anymore
That's probably because they made her a literal plot device 'exit-seeking-robot' that had no personality
The only thing I can imagine is if they actually just make her crazy in the full series, and then the pilot will have just been the world's most moronic origin story
Pomni is the audience surrogate. Things happen TO her, she doesn't have to do things. Her purpose is to ask questions, to prod the boundaries of the world she's in, to provoke reactions from other characters. Amidst that, she plays the nervous wreck for giggles.
I can't think of a single story where the character has no personality whatsoever, but maybe I'm just tired.
Mugging the camera is not a personality, regardless of whether you think it's funny.
Pomni isn't an everybody, she's a nobody. Or at least nobody I know.
I see you are new to the isekai genre. Here, for something easy for you to recognize: Harry Potter doesn't really have a personality either.
But isn't the circus supposed to be awful?
Harry Potter is at least a brave uwu pretty boy, Pomni has no observable positive traits at all
Am I supposed to hate her? To want her to suffer in the circus?
no?, how did you get the idea the circus is a malicious the circus is just a game which they happened to get trapped in.
soma theory seems most logical.
I meant awful as in you don't want to be there. A prison. Not a hogwarts scenario where an audience would WANT to be.
That nervous wreck thing is what I meant when it felt too final. All of her "breakdowns" were the result of being told she can't leave. If the ending smile is her "accepting that she can't leave" then she won't be breaking down anymore, right? Is her character just going to have the same arc AGAIN if the series is continued?
and? Not everything is suppose to go your way.
She not accepting her fate, that smile just pain expression of her situation.
Is this your first cartoon or something?
its a straight forward concept and story anon, i don't understand how you can trip over the pilot.
>If the ending smile is her "accepting that she can't leave" then she won't be breaking down anymore, right?
No no no, she's just accepting that she's not in a dream. She's probably still going to hold out a hope that she could find a way out one day, or switch her priorities to surviving/not abstracting despite REALLY wanting to give up.
The circus is the amusing juxtaposition of a place of fun that has become a place of torment.
Pomni's traits are a ridiculously cute and expressive design and a nervous wreck that suffers breakdowns at every opposition.
You're supposed to both laugh at her being silly (she is a LITERAL JESTER) and root for her to keep it together as the zaniness becomes bleak and depressive.
At any rate, she isn't meant to be an incredible comprehensive existence in 25 minutes of work. Pomni can grow a richer personality over time, but that SHOULDN'T be immediately obvious from the pilot alone. Just because you can't guess doesn't mean there's nothing to work with. She could become Sisyphus, she could walk the line of trying not to break down every day, she could sink entirely into passive denial like Ragatha (though I think if she does Ragatha will have to abstract to up the stakes).
The circus isn’t even that bad honestly. They aren’t in mortal danger, the ringmaster, while eccentric, seems to leave the crew mostly to themselves.
The point would have been more apt if the circus was like an IHNMAIS situation. Where a godlike entity deliberately tortures and resurrects his playthings whenever he’s has his fill.
The situation is awful not the circus itself.Its just a computer game.
Harry Potter also has more than three expressions.
Fish out of water stories are common
Elf
thor
space jam if Micheal Jordan was just an ordinary scrawny nerd.
She spent half the time being nervous but did the right thing try to help rag and selfishly tries to escape.
We learned about her in first first panic attack of a day, she didn't just stand there and let things happen. I don't get the no personality thing.
The main character in like 90% of stories where you are supposed to visualize yourself in their shoes. That goes for Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, and wil paleo be most likely whatever your favorite series’ main character as well.
>The only thing I can imagine is if they actually just make her crazy in the full series, and then the pilot will have just been the world's most moronic origin story
That would be hot.
well HOPEFULLY the next episode will show the immediate aftermath of pomni's failure to find an exit
if they don't i agree that's an issue
>The only thing I can imagine is if they actually just make her crazy in the full series
That’s probably what will keep people interested. Will Pomni adapt to her new life or will she go completely insane and be put in the basement?
those are all hyperbolic statements than actual criticism.
If you cant understand basic exposition in form of jokes then you should probably stick to barney
>static
okay you got me mr baitman. no one is this moronic.
My criticism is that you frickers are spamming this on every god damn board. Eat shit.
>>haha look the censoring is diegetic!! she swears and it makes wacky sounds!!!
>>we've got so many fun activities like *30 seconds of loud static*!!
it's LE VOID (we don't talk about le void oooOOOoooo)
>>haha lol look she VOMITED and now the bubble thing is EATING IT gross lol (y r u liek dis >_<)
I am silly is not an argument.
Refrain from posting any further, breathing too.
OH MY GOD, the censoring of the swear words is just a fricking jab at Vivzie's tryhard edgelord series where something has to be sexual, violent or crude every 5 seconds lest her "warning" at the beginning of each episode becomes moot to her tween audience.
stop flooding
Gooseworx has nothing to do with this, that was one of Famicom's lies.
Now go watch Power of Hope: PreCure Full Bloom like a normal person, it will save your life one day.
Pomni feet
>jax is le perfect cynical guy that never takes damage
I have no desire to watch more than the pilot because how uncreative the entire thing is
Even the corrupted state was just chasing trends and such a basic idea.
>cynical
didnt watch huh?
strange.
I FEEL you but if I HAD to play devil's advocate, maybe the creator was more concerned about showcasing the animation, which is fantastic, and showcasing the world and dynamics instead of trying to come up with the best jokes. Writing jokes is hard and when you pile that on top of top tier animation, it could be a lot to handle
>"Jokes aren't funny"
>Implying that we're here for that and not for the sweet mindraping of the little prostitute until she breaks like an egg
It's for kids.
Kids are not watching this, they're watching LGR.
What's LGR?
https://www.youtube.com/@LGR
it's fun watching you latch on to what people have mentioned before, famicom
For some reason, I keep thinking about the show despite only watching the pilot once and thinking it was a solid 6.5/10
I think it's really obvious that they just wanted to introduce the show itself as a pure pilot rather than trying to make it an episode. I guess if you were to consider what show pilots were made for compared to how it evolved into what it is today, it makes sense. You aren't trying to show to companies so they can pick it up, you're making something that'll grab as much attention as possible online so that the people that would be interested follow it as it releases. Of course, that doesn't make it a good episode and a lot of problems with it could just be due to advertising and production concerns.
That being said, this show REALLY needs to solidify it's foundations if it wants to stay watchable. Comedy is a big issue, since it is explicitly stated that it's supposed to be a 'black comedy'. If people just watch the pilot expecting this, they're gonna assume that what was shown is what the jokes are gonna be going forward. I think most people are gonna see the next episode anyways, so as long as they have that sorted out by then, they can recover it
Second, there needs to be a lot more cohesion with how the episode-by-episode story plays out. If they pace episodes like they do the pilot, it's not going to have enough time to play with the actually interesting aspects of the show (Character development/screentime, the existential thing they want to mess with)
Third, I want to see more high concept story hooks. Probably in line with the pacing issue, but they need to have a more traditional goal in the show to try and go after. I think the person that made the show said that it was heavily inspired by I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream. Cool idea, but that was a 162 page book and conveys it's idea of hope in an almost abstract way. There needs to be more to the show in order for the audience to want to follow these characters stories without it being only about the existential angle that would be way too ham fisted otherwise
Other than that, I think everything else is great, and I'm glad there's another 3D animated show that doesn't do that "skip every other frame" shit that makes my eyes hurt. Also, Clowns are funny lol
>but that was a 162 page book
no, it's a 13-page short story
>Cool idea, but that was a 162 page book
You're in the stain timeline now, Anon. It's just 13 pages here.
Yeah a lot of marketing seems to focus on
>oooh look how distressed Pomni is
I hope the show isn't just memable Pomni expressions
I'll help you: you keep thinking about it because you want to plap clussy.
And it's still a vast improvement over the first episode of murderdrones, I haven't seen the rest of it so I don't know if it improves but the bacon narwhal spork of doom LOL sense of "humor" was so grating and painfully unfunny it comes to mind before thick robot thighs and asses when I remember the show. I mean it was even worse than anime humor and 99% of Japanese couldn't tell a funny joke to save their fricking lives, honestly just remembering the first episode and the absolute incompetence of the script still pisses me off a bit, quirky kooky cutesy meta reddit dilogue got ran into the ground by webcomic authors more than ten years ago and I was not happy to see it return in all its cringe.
My main issue with Digital Circus is that despite the pilot being almost 100% expository, it tells the audience basically nothing.
1. Why are the characters their specific avatars?
2. What exactly are gloinks, what exactly is Bubble?
3. Does time move or stand still outside of the simulation?
4. Why does Pomni abandon Ragatha at first?
5. If Jax is supposed to be an butthole, why is he being helpful?
6. What do Kinger or Gangle actually do, what purpose do they serve?
7. Is Caine running the simulation, an NPC inside of it or a former player?
8. Why is Pomni given a random name unlike everyone else?
9. Is the void just Nirvana? If so, why is it considered worse than the cellar?
10. Did Kaufmo abstract before or after Pomni was introduced?
Like I get some of these will probably be answered as soon as the first episode, but you have to keep in mind, this is a series which places its characters first before everything else, but fails to contextualize... Basically any of them within the setting?
Some of those probably don’t have a well thought out answer. I think my biggest question is if the digital circus is really just like where a few dead or dying people get their consciousness uploaded. Because otherwise it just brings up similar questions that Sword Art Online does with taking care of a body stuck in a headset even if the headset is set to kill the user if removed. The whole time I was wondering if Pommi and the others just not have family members, neighbors, landlords, or emergency response teams for wellness checks in their area. It would be delightfully despairing if they were dead already and this was a botched and amateur first try at a digital heaven or a repurposed game for something to that same effectiveness by some weird mad genius.
He intentionally split the group up so that most incompetent people were going to rescue zooble.
Half of these questions are meaningless wastes of time, or already answered.
Most of these questions were answered if you actually watched the pilot or will likely be answered in future installments
I'd rather have the pilot actually represent what an average episode of the show is like than try to fit every single ounce of lore in it like Hazbin Hotel
Yeah, I always thought pilots were supposed to be like a sample of what the end product is intended to be. So if this is supposed to be a comedy, they should probably focus more on actually being funny.
Pilot now means algorithm bait episodes, you have to wait for the actual series to get genuine content made with love and passion (lol lmao who am I kidding)
Why would you want to be spoonfed the answers to every question the series would ever ask all in the first episode?
That's not really my issue, more to do with the fact that 60% of the pilot is spent info dumping while characters stand around talking and occasionally emoting. If they're gonna go that route why not just make it a tell-all?
Probably because the answers are loaded and can't be tackled in a single episode?
>1. Why are the characters their specific avatars?
Seems to be somewhat related to the method they used to get into the circus
>2. What exactly are gloinks, what exactly is Bubble?
Gloinks are just an inconvenience to keep them busy
>3. Does time move or stand still outside of the simulation?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
>4. Why does Pomni abandon Ragatha at first?
Because she started glitching out when she touched her
>5. If Jax is supposed to be an butthole, why is he being helpful?
Probably just his way of coping with his life. It seems to work because he is definitely the most sane character
>6. What do Kinger or Gangle actually do, what purpose do they serve?
Guess we’ll find out when more episodes come
>7. Is Caine running the simulation, an NPC inside of it or a former player?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Definitely the most interesting question. Does he enjoy seeing them go insane or is he actively trying to prevent it?
>8. Why is Pomni given a random name unlike everyone else?
What makes you think the others don’t have random names?
>9. Is the void just Nirvana? If so, why is it considered worse than the cellar?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
>10. Did Kaufmo abstract before or after Pomni was introduced?
Before. watch the intro
Remember that TADC takes place inside of a PC, pomni finding an office could be all the non circus files AKA the system files. As for the void itself, its nothing, its the representation of empty space on a disk
A criticism of this thread:
Post in an existing one, homie.
What jokes?
Am I living in the same universe as most of Cinemaphile? There were no fricking jokes in this. The animation looks like a bad PS2 cutscene with absolutely no detail in any of the textures it's all flat colors.
The jokes are like literally knock knock joke tier.
Yeah it's just not funny.
Good example is when Jax steals Zooble's arm and she chokes him. It's a cute idea but they do nothing with it. You just watch Jax get strangled in awkward silence before it cuts away.
I thought it's supposed to be uncomfortable.
Well it was also uncomfortable how when Zooble got taken away by the gloinks, Jax immediately says she is dead even though she is clearly still alive and doesn't even seem hurt by having her body parts separated, just mildly annoyed. If the show is trying to do some kind of dark comedy thing, it's far too steeped in slapstick and irony to pull it off.
>Jax immediately says she is dead even though she is clearly still alive
Anon, its was a joke, Jax was being sarcastic.
Obviously but that's not a joke, there's no punchline or setup. If someone gets kidnapped in a movie and their friend is like "oh they killed Kenny xD" that's not funny. Sarcastic or not it's closer to anti-humor.
The punchline is "anyway, let's go get something to eat".
The joke is that his delivery and follow up show he doesn't actually care that Zooble got kidnapped so he's making an excuse to not bother even trying to save her.
But then works to figure stuff out and goes with the group that saves her anyway.
Well yeah, he got poked in the eye by one of the Gloinks after he said that.
the punchline is a literal reddit meme
>Oh no!...Anyways,
how is that humor?
>how is that humor?
It's called dissonance. It's a staple in comedy.
no, it's called indifference you moron and having a character say a line that screams "I'M BEING INDIFFERENT" isn't a staple in comedy
>no, it's called indifference you moron
No, I'm pretty sure I meant "dissonance".
Just because you're a snide contrarian doesn't mean that's not humor you fricking homosexual.
I never said this about anything else before, but it really is troony shit.
The amount of coping in this thread to excuse unfunny and just shitty writing is hilarious.
This is reddit the show. Reminds me of that shitty looking Pibby show too. Reddit autists will cling to anything that validates their childish obsession with cartoons through swearing, dark twists on established iconic mascots and lolrandom humour.
>what if cute and innocent thing...BUT LE DARK?!
>OH MY GOD I'M...THEORIZING!!!!!!!!!!!
>AHHHHHH SAVE ME GAMETHEORY MAN!!!!!
>This is reddit the show
but I found out about this show on Cinemaphile
Plot is just a rehash of don't hug me I'm scared. It isn't doing anything new or interesting
I thought some of the jokes were alright but I didn't laugh at any of them.
Animation is the only good thing here.
So I watched this finally. The threads are full of people posting porn or requesting porn and saying they want to frick certain featureless characters so I don't know what that's about.
The cast is way too large, the characters are indiscriminate and I can't bring myself to care about any of them. For a pilot/proof of concept, it fails on many levels. It doesn't establish anything beyond random wacky adventure of the week style episode which would only be interesting if the characters were interesting. They're all varying levels of moronic, except for Pomni, who just has a psychotic meltdown searching for an exit despite the fact she has no idea what she is or where she is and hasn't learned anything. "exiting" could fricking kill her for all she knows. Her dilemma makes no sense. Once she's been there a while and fully grasped the reality, I can see why she would freak out and start to want an exit and start to figure things out more. Going crazy within the first like, hour she's been there makes no sense at all, again, unless she's just an idiot.
The characters don't have any actual time to display anything unique that would make me want to see more of them. I don't care about a sarcastic Yakko/Max bunny guy, or a random assortment of blocks that is a tired girl, or a... Weird/average ragdoll, or a deranged chess piece that's just deranged just because okay!
The mouth eye guy doesn't make any sense either. He locks people in until they abstract, then puts them in a hole. Okay?
Overall the autistic level of obsession for this singular proof of concept is fricking nutty. It's either severe autism or marketing.
I also had a problem with the premise. Caine is all seeing and is the master of the digital circus but just, has lunch with that bubble guy and doesn't see anything that's going on? Also he put an exit to just... Give them hope? Is that what he said? It was a fake exit that wasn't finished? Really weird, but okay.
Caine records everything that happens, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's actively paying attention to it vs. reviewing it when shit goes wrong. Kinda like the NSA.
>Also he put an exit to just... Give them hope?
Cain was an AI created in the office you see. He recreated that office thinking that's what the "Outside" actually looks like, and the Exit was just a fire escape that sat across the hall from him that he never saw open.
He wasn't trying to be cruel or frick with the cast. He just doesn't understand what an "Exit" actually is, what's on the other side of it, or what the characters were actually asking for.
This makes a lot more sense. This wasn't painted very clearly for someone who just watched casually and only watched it once in passing.
I tried that and was called mentally moronic.
But hey, I'll accept I'm moronic. I love shows like Samurai Jack, Rocko's Modern Life, Regular Show, Undergrads, Mission Hill, etc. but had several issues with this, so, my taste may be moronic too.
>I tried that and was called mentally moronic.
because your criticism were moronic
Care to explain?
>hurr why does this character trapped in a digital realm want to escape
>hurr caine wants people to abstract
I think you're the moronic one. What you posted made no sense. I also didn't say Caine wanted people to abstract. No clue what you're talking about.
what did you mean when you said this then?
>The mouth eye guy doesn't make any sense either. He locks people in until they abstract, then puts them in a hole. Okay?
Exactly what I said.
They go nuts about wanting to exit because they're stuck then he throws them in a hole when they abstract.
yes, but how does that make caine "not make sense"?
Boy, people who love this show really are brain dead. You called ME moronic?
Let me ask you this; if this guy is the ringleader who creates 'daily adventures' so people have something to do, and he's aware that people go fricking CRAZY trying to exit, and ABSTRACT, why then, is he fricking making fake exits to bait people into looking for an exit?
His character makes no sense. The whole cartoon makes no sense. It wasn't very well thought out. The writing is not good.
>why then, is he fricking making fake exits to bait people into looking for an exit?
because he knows they want an exit and wants to make them happy, but doesn't really understand the concept of an exit or why they want one
it's not that complicated
lol, exactly. Just turn off your brain dudes!
He says it flat out and also says its unfinished. This script was not thought out.
>lol, exactly. Just turn off your brain dudes!
do you have an actual response to my explanation?
Your explanation doesn't make any sense either man.
It doesn't make them fricking happy to show them an exit exists, thinking about exiting makes them FRICKING ABSTRACT
Yeah the most basic narrative if you're not making a surreal show is there should be a rising action, a climax, and a falling action. They introduced a bunch of weird concepts that belong much deeper into a season. This is why I am calling it a proof of concept, this isn't a pilot episode. A pilots job is to show the viewer what we can expect from each episode. This was a self-contained story and it was all over the place, with no resolution and ended on clown girl shitting her pants and making a face like a badly animated PS2 cutscene
>It doesn't make them fricking happy to show them an exit exists, thinking about exiting makes them FRICKING ABSTRACT
no, kaufmo abstracted because he realised there really was no exit and couldn't take it
caine just sees this and goes "i don't really know what an exit is, but if they want it so much i guess i'd better give it to them!"
>The clowns room has EXIT literally scratched all over his room and he abstracts. Later, it's shown that Caine has a dark hole full of abstracted characters he collects.
i don't see why you consider these contradicting points
>caine just sees this and goes "i don't really know what an exit is, but if they want it so much i guess i'd better give it to them!"
... Exactly why it makes no sense.
>They go crazy trying to find an exit
>Let me make a fake one that's not real, that'll help
Good writing guys! Caine is goofy and a fricking MORON and your world makes zero sense.
he doesn't really grasp the concept of an exit or why they want it
so from his perspective he isn't making a fake exit, he's making a real exit
Anon. You're forgetting one important tidbit, HE'S AN AI. He's programmed to entertain and help in very specific automated ways. Caine isn't built to protect someone's psyche and provide psychological care that's not what he's made for. Him building an exit without any real tact and consideration of the consequences makes perfect sense with that context.
He's honestly about as effective as modern day AI at this kinda shit.
Yeah, the impression I got was that he did genuinely want to give them an exit door but doesn't really understand what it's meant to do. He wasn't being cagey about its existence because he didn't want them to escape, but because he hadn't finished it yet and seemingly got roadblocked because he didn't know what it was actually supposed to lead to.
>HE'S AN AI
wait what
He's literally based on AM from I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, except apparently instead of being a malicious omnipotent AI that keeps the humans alive purely to torture them, he's a well-meaning one that's just following his programming and seems to not really grasp the horror that he's putting the humans through.
Yes, so he's not AM.
Therefore not confirmed AI.
The creator confirmed he was an AI.
Ah, alright. I personally would've keep his true nature nebulous and mysterious, but, w/e.
No, he confirmed bubble was an AI. She intentionally answered the question in a way that left if vague.
No she didn't, it's been official for a while that Caine is an AI.
He's literally listed as "The AI" in the character list.
dang
what character list?
This is why I was saying it has really bad writing and it doesn't make any sense. Every scene is like someone just thought up something for that scene and animated it separately. The clowns room has EXIT literally scratched all over his room and he abstracts. Later, it's shown that Caine has a dark hole full of abstracted characters he collects.
This is why this pilot makes no sense. Caine makes no sense. The series of events makes no sense. The characters are cardboard cutouts with zero personality and their is zero logic to their actions. This is an amateur project and autism is the only reason it's exploded to this extent.
>why then, is he fricking making fake exits to bait people into looking for an exit?
Is it ever implied that Caine himself places the fake exits and they don't just randomly spawn in or something?
Black person you dont know that, that's litterally just theorizing on your part.
Yeah, it *could* be what it is, but we dont know.
>that's litterally just theorizing on your part.
So is claiming that Cain just made the exit just to be cruel. I'm just saying that based on the evidence, that's not the first or only conclusion you should jump to
These are things the majority of Cinemaphile posters don't think about or care about. They just see animation and characters walking around they can obsess over.
i think you may be mentally moronic
>The cast is way too large, the characters are indiscriminate and I can't bring myself to care about any of them.
To be fair, the characters are written as facsimiles of former humans who don't actually remember who they are. They're intentionally shallow.
The show's purpose is likely to both explore how these characters grew from scratch in the circus, and how their former personalities led them into the circus to begin with.
The show has a lot of mysteries in this
>It's either severe autism
It's this. 100%.
The show has a lot of fantheory bait that keeps the discussion afloat in between the horny posting.
>The cast is way too large
I agree with most of your post, but the cast is only like, 6 people. The pilot doesn't do a good job with any sort of characterizations so I get that they seem flat, hopefully the next episode will flesh them out more.
It may have been better to focus on just a few characters in the pilot instead of trying to introduce all of them at once. Like how Futurama's first episode mainly focused on Fry, Leela, and Bender, and only had a brief bit at the end with the Professor. We don't even meet Amy, Hermes, or Zoidberg until the second episode. It feels like doing all six at once didn't give us a chance to get to know any of them, so they all feel very flat.
It's not meant to be funny
Anon, it turns out the real clown all along wasn't Pomni, it was (you).
While I think your criticisms are vapid, I do believe that TADC has a bad case of being insecure about its own comedy, as if the show itself feels like it can't just let its own jokes land and that it needs to paper over them with something else, or wink at you to let you know that "haha wasn't that joke so unfunny" or something.
I don't know if there's a word for it but this seems to be a common form of comedy recently and its kind of insufferable.
It's the definition of ironic humor.
The gloinks and gloink queen were the weakest part of the episode imo
Purple rabbit seems like he's supposed to be cool and above it all, but it falls flat because he's boring.
It's not good.
It's not well written.
It's not funny.
There's noting funny about this. It's literally 12 year old comedy. One of the jokes is funny noises instead of swear words.
Cinemaphile has seriously downgraded itself with this stupid flavor of the month obsession. Holy frick how many threads do we need about this? You guys are really fricking smitten by a few random poorly drawn cartoon characters walking around a textureless carnival setting?
Yeah this is a new low for indie animation. All this fotm shit is 100 percent manufactured to game the algorithm and sell merch. It’s as soulless as the big 2.
>go to thread
>expect some criticism on writing and animation flaws
>it's 100% schizo posting, contrarianism vent and bait
What the frick is wrong with this board? Is anyone even here even interested on searching and discussing the flaws on the show? Even fricking Cinemaphile and /tg/ can find flaws on the gameplay and point out how it could be improved.
It's autistic people actually becoming schizophrenic because they can't understand how people don't agree with them.
When Pomni goes back to Raggedy, her hand stops glitching for a few seconds.
Wrong reply
The average Cinemaphile user is a reddit or tumblr refugee with terminal brainrot who has spent years practicing at putting on a thoughtful conversation while having nothing of value to say.
I don't use Cinemaphile that often, and this is what I always think about most of its posters when I do
welcome to Cinemaphile
After a certain point, for many permanons who are stuck here and can't escape, the topic of the boards (cartoon for Cinemaphile, vidya for Cinemaphile etc) just become an excuse to shitpost/shill yer dumb causes/and schizo post all yer unhinged obsessions...
Just like Pomni, there is no exit.
My poor baby.

The pilot isn’t funny, it’s not interesting. It’s empty. These characters are trapped in a simulation and I have no reason to care.
The characters are shallow as frick, specially Cain. The “quirky all powerful being that controls reality” trope is getting old.
Pomni is annoying. Her overly high pitched voice and the way she speaks like her bladder is full are tiring. Also, the fact that her entire character is just having panic attacks doesn’t make for a interesting protagonist.
Popee did the concept better and earlier. It is actually scarey and drives you insane, in a circus setting with quirky characters
Popee wasn't about a group of people trapped forever in a video game
Its about a bizarre circus where everyone in it is seemingly immortal but also afraid of death. Its bizarre and shares a lot of the style digital circus has. It just feels wrong that it isn't in the conversation. It's even 3d.
it is in the conversation but it's not that similar to amazing digital circus
Well I'm glad the creator mentions it. That makes me feel better.
Anyone that watched digital circus should give popee a shot.
Warning you may go loopy
Fake tweets, frick off Famicom.
Those tweets are fake by the way, just more of Famicom's lies.
The one I'm surprised isn't in the conversation is Five Characters in Search of An Exit from the Twilight Zone.
That one seems like it's really on the nose, but without the digital aspect.
if you have a tumblr account you could ask goose, but i think they may have closed their ask box
No you fricking homosexual popee has no story. Each episode is something new. It's just basic absurdist humor.
>is 3d cgi animation

How can you say it isn't similar
Not even what I wrote about you cuckold
It's posts like these that make me wonder how many of you are actually capable of actually perceiving and understanding things presented to you
I don't like 3d animation. I have nothing against the show, I just don't like 3d stuff.

I really don't like to shit on any indie creators because they're the last bastion of creativity, but this was like 4/10 at best.
I don't think I even cracked a smile watching this and it wasn't very interesting.
Feels like some random animation or weird episode you'd see on morning TV, and never really pay attention to it and years later remember it existed as someone posts a screencap from it.
But because some of the designs make our penis react positively, people here pay attention to it.
Best thing that can come out of it is wank material.

What's wrong anon? Don't like the thought of Ragatha giving birth? Her water breaking and making a mess on the floor? Her stomach contracting trying to push out her son? The entire cast surrounding her as she delivers her baby? Pleb.
>Verification not required
Imagine smooching that belly and getting a kick from the baby.
I can't imagine the joy I'd feel.
I had a similar thought, my first and only real reaction to Ragatha is warmth, not lust. She reminds me of the feeling I get when I hug my wife and daughter

can't shake the feeling jobaba is behind this one
I did think it dragged certain jokes on way too long, and the entire thing felt like 15 minutes of content stretched over 25.
Garten of Banban fanart has better designs
Cool
this show has a lot of potential with its concept but its "internet humour" fricking sucks, and so does its attempts to be le spooky!!!! like it's so forced and cringe
I hope ep1 doesn't continue from the pilot
It will, deal with it.
Am I the only person not so ingrained in internet culture outside Cinemaphile that I don't really get the "lol internet humor" accusations? At worst it seems pretty standard 2000s lolrandom humor, and given its attempts to harken back to early 90s computer aesthetics that seems fitting enough to me? Whether or not it lands is another issue, but like, goofy wacky hijinks aren't tiktok exclusive yknow?
>what if you died in the game you dieded irl in real life
>and if you try to leave you end up in the stanley parable
The only thing that really bothered me about the pilot was Jax. It felt like the entire spine of pilot is built on him being chaotic neutral Bugs Bunny. None of the other character seem to be able to do anything but have a meltdown, while Jax makes the entire plot progression revolve around him. He and Pomni absolutely carry the show as a male and female lead, but it feels like the writers couldn't progress the plot without relying on a straightforward butthole like Jax to get any other character (and now all the other characters are established as useless) to get things done.
Also, the revelation Pomni has where she sees her new body in her mirror is absolutely wasted at a random point instead of being used for emotional climax at the beginning of end.
i like bugs bunny
agreed with wasting the mirror scene
>Also, the revelation Pomni has where she sees her new body in her mirror is absolutely wasted at a random point instead of being used for emotional climax at the beginning of end.
Seems to me like they're going to build up to it.
That mirror is going to return later on, and I'm betting they'll have her practicing "smiles" in it as the emotional climax.
>and I'm betting they'll have her practicing "smiles" in it as the emotional climax
the emotional climax to what? i doubt the show will end with pomni being mind broken into accepting her role
that's the creator's fetish
we know of plenty of gooseworx's fetishes, but i haven't really seen any evidence that mindbreak is one
Unrelated, we been though this before in other threads.
>the emotional climax to what?
Emotional climax to various episodes.
>i doubt the show will end with pomni being mind broken into accepting her role
Maybe. Maybe not.
Gooseworx has other works where the plucky young protagonist managed to escape their hell, only to get ripped back into it at the last moment.
There's a good chance this one will go that direction, too. There's not really a good reason to expect this will have a happy ending.
The point is that Pomni is eventually going to have an internal struggle about it at some point.
oh i don't think pomni is going to escape the circus
but nor do i think she is going to break and become what the circus wants her to be
I'm just saying, I'm not ready to rule out either 1984 or Brazil ending
i don't think either would have the proper amount of existential horror personally
if they've done the
>they get close to winning but still lose
game before, they wont (shouldn't) do it again
capitulating wouldn't be very interesting either
Given that the computer that appears to run everything is in an accessible location, that not-backrooms office space, they could have a third option of having Pomni seize control over the circus
She finds the PC, fricks around with it before Caine (and his no doubt brother Able), notice, and makes herself Admin
>She finds the PC, fricks around with it before Caine (and his no doubt brother Able), notice, and makes herself Admin
Pomni's Amazing Digital Circus sounds like a mindbreak ending to me.

I would puke.
her a savior
More like "Under New Management".
give me a show just featuring Kinger doing his thing and it would be a solid 8/10 comedy.
EXIT
I hope to see Gangle re-masked. Hopefully she gets it fixed.
Ahegao mask when?
There is an exit, right?
Don't forget, you're here forever.
That is when Blanket told her:
"No. Now get out of my room, you weirdo."
This design is legitimately so cool and impressive and you all just want to have sex with it. It's really annoying and disgusting. She really is not sexuslised at all. And trust me I love clown girls, psychotic girls etc.
But this ain't it. She's too cool of a design to reduce to just fricking. I question your angle too, it seems like your just attracted to how meek, weak and vulnerable she is. Which makes you seem like a fricking predator.
Wanting to frick this child looking, non sexuslised girl because of her weakness and vulnerability. Doesn't look good for your mental states.
No. I just want to hug and protect her.
Good, that's a good response to her design and behaviour
then, when enough trust is built up, THEN she'd be down for a little frick to keep the madness away.
I'm 100% sure you trying to frick her would be what sends her over the edge. Especially the fear that she is forever stuck with you. Even if she does consent she'll be so afraid of the consequences of you falling out and shit.
Ouch.
Bad relationship experiences?
Always
>I'm 100% sure you trying to frick her would be what sends her over the edge.
hehehe.....
My dick
I don't want to frick Pomni because she's in a weak and vulnerable state, but weakness and vulnerability is sexually stimulating. It is a sign that it is an easy prospective partner to copulate with and produce offspring in our unga bunga caveman brains because instincts aren't affected by what society thinks. That's moreso a factor of moral principles and emotion. It can be repressed, but not completely. Some part of you will probably still find vulnerability attractive, even if it's just because you want to help.
>Tldr: I am a rapist and a predator
Cope
There's a kernel, a small speck of truth to what you say. But the way you said it and how you believe it ball is super concerning anon. That actually is the mindset of groomers and pedos.
I'm too empathetic to hurt someone like that, but I'm detached and desensitized enough by the internet to understand why some people might subconsciously feel that way.
Where does rape come in here?
Also all men are predators and the ones who aren't are prey so stop being a homosexual you fricking berry-picker
Bro is on Cinemaphile wanting to frick a non sexualised little girl design talking about being a predator and alpha male posturing
>Little girl
She's 25 according to her creator.
>25yo
>visible hips albeit shitty fem-nerd girl hips
>little girl
Fricking kys
She's 25 for a couple of reasons. One being so this shit doesn't get the show "cancelled" because they know the sexual shit was gonna happen.
But they are 25, their avatar isn't designed to be 25. She doesn't have any any any sexual indicators. It's as non sexualised as a female character can be. You aren't attracted the design i think, but to her distressed vulnerability
A lady is by design "vulnerable". It's just nature. Quit getting your panties in a knot because guys like gals.
Cope
>A coper telling other people to cope.
I'm sorry you're 30+ and childless, lady, but don't take it out on coomers.
>You aren't attracted the design i think
You're moronic
The design is cool, really cool. It's not sexy. And I love sexy clown girls. I think you are coping and know the truth.
It'd be nice if a cool design didn't have the whole conversation around it by all about sex with the character for once
>I think you are coping
>im coping cus i find her attractive
? ???????? ???
Refer to this post here
to see my opinion
I'm attracted to the clown look and was so before I ever learned about her vulnerable position
Vulnerability and being scared isn't what grabs my its more that being vulnerable is possibly one of the most feminine things a woman can do and I love femininity
The thought of them giving themselves up to you because you are trusted or needed fulfills a carnal desire I as a man have to provide and it being a feminine thing along with her design makes it sexy as frick
Its the normie equivalent to a teenager trying to save the McWagie girl from that shitty life by becoming successful and marrying her
Her physical proportions are meh because I like both petite and thick women
What age are these girls you feel this way about usually anon?
post too long and too weird
That was already debunked, she's 10.
Because to quote Charles Solomon...
>She's fricking 10 years old you sick fricks, if she was 25 she will have C-cup breasts at least, wider hips, a bigger ass and be taller.
Anon that is abnormal psychology and I would not trust you near children
Males are attracted to females.
It's nature.
Rationalization
>males are attracted to women
>therefore being sexually aroused by defenseless, distressed and vulnerability in young looking girls is normal and good
Bit of a leap anon
>young looking girls
More like young looking adult females. No guy aside from fetishists' are going to chase after 30+ year old ladies. That's just disgusting.
The characters doesn't look like a young adult woman. It looks like an abstract child.
Like a cartoon, you mean.
Leave your gay rules about appearance at the door when you post.
You can label her one way, but I'll label her the correct way. The main creator says all of the characters are of adult age and thus, it is what it is. Pomni and Gangle are particularly attractive because they give off a vulnerable femininity.
lmao where do you think you are just say you want to plow her already
kek
well I want to have sex with her
>There is an exit, right?
There is no exit.
what are the chances that they address the pilot's shortcomings if this suddenly gets a massive infusion of cash and they can start making a whole season for real?
>Show barely came out

Why is this board like this.... I only came here to save artporn from Pomni. Anyway what do you guys honestly think of the plot ? I think it is kinda fun, the characters are cool and it's nice to see a 3d animation that isn't a sore to look at.
That pic..
It's a nice 'all ages' cartoon with a slight horror element to it. I cannot complain.
Its fun for a pilot which I know can be limited because of lack of funds and lets be honest the potential we have seen in the backrooms can easily be applied here in a relatively unique way without making it only about the random rooms
Pomni is obviously going to keep looking for the exit wherever she goes and the seemingly randomly generated extra rooms can create a crazy atmosphere.
Its as simple as leaving open a door and letting the wrong thing in

laziest bait yet
The entire thing isn’t funny
I'm probably never going to watch this shit. Is it even worth watching?
No, don’t bother. I gave it a chance and watched the entire thing thinking it would click at some point, but it’s just the same trite jokes written for manchildren over and over
Alright, thank you. Frick this shit.
>One opinion is enough to sway me entirely
Okay have a good life anon bye
I was already ready to forget about this shit. Just needed confirmation. What do you have to say about the show?
You’re a manchild if you enjoy this shit. The lame “LOL SO QUIRKY AND LE RANDOM” jokes that OP made fun of don’t go away and it’s funny they pretend otherwise, they’re present throughout the entire thing
I'd say its worth a watch but if you don't want to it already looks like the hype is dying down and we'll probably finally be down to only one thread at once before Halloween
The jokes in the beginning felt a bit flat but it got better
Obviously all ages
Before you ask no I don't get that way with kids that desire to love and protect them is more of a feeling you get when you come home after a long day at work and go to bed and its all comfy and giggles
But when you see a beautiful woman in need of you and you alone its animalistic the way I get
Shes dressed as a jester but she hasn't done anything to be distinct about it
Jesters are clown but they also have all sorts of talents like singing, dancing, acting, joketelling, etc
That b***h has none of that
Dude you are a freak
>all ages
>totally not kids though but I love to hug them in bed as they giggle
Freak man.
>distinctly says its not sexual
>bro wtf is wrong with you
Just because of that I'm making another thread
They're just angry 30+ year old women or balding simps who don't know how to build a proper relationship, so they have to go out of there way to stick it to the coomers and breeders to make themselves feel better. Just ignore 'em.
Well yeah why else would they stay in these threads for days when they don't even like the pilot
You are on Cinemaphile lusting for the brightly coloured abstract cartoon jester talking about building a proper relationship and calling others wierd. Get a grip anons.
Your mindset is creepy, you shouldn't be targeting distressed and emotionally vulnerable girls so you can frick them. That isn't healthy.
>targeting
homie putting text in my posts now
Wow...thats like racist against asians or something bro
Not even Jax is racist even though race isn't a problem when only pomni seems to be human enough
>weakness and vulnerability is sexually stimulating. It is a sign that it is an easy prospective partner to copulate with and produce offspring in our unga bunga caveman brains because instincts aren't affected by what society thinks.
Translation
Look for the emotionally compromised vulnerable girl.
Nature can be a b***h sometimes, but it is what it is. Being mad at that Anon for being right doesn't change how things are.
It's funny that anon probably Hates certain ethnic groups for certain behaviours or Hates uncivilised people ruining our society but... when it comes to being a groomer or predator? That's nature baby
>I have never been around a woman.
>targeting
Jesus lady, I'm sorry Chad didn't work out but raging about it on Cinemaphile isn't healthy.
Jokes on you im attracted to 30+ year old women because I want people my own age group
Nooo! Thats against nature you are attracted to under 30s. How can you pretend anything over 25 is attractive? 21 year old is the oldest you can really be turned on by, we can agree anyone over 18 is a bit too old I mean....
Bulllllllshit.
I am 100% certain there's someone out there turned on by Zooble's design. People who try to make sense of fetishes are the stupidest motherfrickers alive.
I unironically find Zooble's chaotic design and grumpy personality really hot. Is that weird? I kind of imagine my dick phashing into the underside of her triangle head for a blowjob or just ripping her limb out and fricking the socket. I could also lick her eyes while she jerks me off.
I unironically forgot she's even a character that exists
More build-a-b***h for me then
She is far hotter than Gangle in my opinion.
She's probably incredibly fricking bitter
Ragatha might be a doll but at least she looks humans, even welcoming
while she is just an absolute fricking abomination
Pomni appearing just makes it even worse since she's also largely normal
>She's probably incredibly fricking bitter
Perfect fit for me then
I think it's her voice, it fits the character but it makes you wonder why a bunch of weird shapes has such a strong feminine voice. I still perfer pomni though.
She's dysphoria incarnate and I am here for it.
I like Zooble because she's obviously meant to be a self-insert for Goose, but is done very tastefully. I wish she had more screentime, but that's probably the result of being cast away to the weak B plot and only serving as a foil for Jax.
NO ONE CARES ABOUT HER AGE I WANT TO FRICK POMNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
UUUOOOOOHHH WOMAN VOICE AND EMOTIONS..... EROTIC!!! ToT
Kek, groomers btfo

>Trapdoor feminist
Is there a version of this where the last panel is a priest carrying a sign about pedophiles?
Judeo-Christian Priests you mean?
I was thinking ancient sumerian or maybe aztec but yeah, sure, let's go with that.
>nothing is sexier than a weak vulnerable woman. I just crave that moment they fully trust me and I go in for the SEX. I'm so turned on by how distressed they are and need to make them trust me so I can feel the sweet release as I pound them.
Yes that is accurate, trapdoor feminists
>Building a relationship is predatory.
You want to just outright rape them? Well that sounds pretty fricked up, lad, ngl.
Yeah that's me
Unfathomably based. I LOVE ADULT WOMEN!!!!!!!!
Pomni is ok BUT I love the concept of Ragatah she is a femenine women who likes to nurture and is motherly wow is kind of sad that nowdays we only get feminazi c**t girls with penis envy, I NEED to slow dance with her so i can kiss her neck and hugh her.
You are on the right track, based Anon.
Is sad that we cant find a real fertile women in this days, we only have tattoo infested toxic roasties with princess complex that cant even make a sandwitch or feed a toodler they have zero mathernal instincs that is really sad.
I love the smell or burn roastie ass, why so triggered honey?
Kinda sounds like the one with penis envy is you my bro but okay
You sound like a little kid.
She reminds me of a less jaded Franky Foster however Ragatha has every right to be even more jaded than her. I got a feeling in a future episode she will do a Marge Simpson snap.
?si=TfKdy72t7StBZkI4
>trans woman designs a cute and sweet girly girl
>bio woman design lesbians
These timelines are getting real fricky, man.......
What?
uhhh actual question here is she a jester or a clown ?
She's just a 25 year old roastie in a Jon descript circus outfit. The show isn't about actual performances or showtime and isn't dedicated enough to the bit to make a difference.
Since another character is a king let's say jester.
Jester, but also part of a circus, where one would expect to find clowns, like kauffmo.....
Caring about anything is gay
It's not that bad, but Black Mirror did this premise already better
>but Black Mirror did this premise already better
Plenty of series have done the premise. Twilight Zone and Futurama did similar things too.
I like seeing the concept explored though.
Don't you guys feel that the characters are way WAY too calm for the situation that they're in ? Most of them are supposed to be stuck in there for years, why is only kinger that feels kinda affected by the crazyness of it ?
Honestly it's probably not that bad when you get used to it, Pomni just had an exceptionally shit first day.
I don't know dude, the way Caine is you can't even chill a day without him pulling you in something bat shit insane, would probably get real annoying real quick
And what about going against Caines plots and defying him ? Just getting asked about an exit got him fidgeting, im curious if he threatens or punishes the ones that piss him off enough.
>Just getting asked about an exit got him fidgeting
He literally explains at the end that he just didn't want anyone to see his unfinished work
Isn't he just pulling that out his ass so that the others don't question ?
Caine isn't capable of lying
> Caine was trying to give them what they wanted but just couldn't grasp what it was supposed to be.
I thought he was just trying to keep them stuck there but him being clueless himself makes this premise even better.
Yeah the main difference between Caine and AM is that Caine is merely Obliviously Evil.
He literally gave them an exit and admitted he forgot to finish it. I think
seems to have the right idea that Caine was trying to give them what they wanted but just couldn't grasp what it was supposed to be.
He's trying his best.
I suspect most people that didn't have the temperament for the circus already abstracted. We'll probably learn how and why they're able to cope later in the series.
Welcome to demoralization
When someone gets hit with constant trauma, they either snap, and in this universe "abstract", or succumb to apathy
They're fine with it because they don't really care about anything anymore. the ones that did care went mad and are now in the cellar
Who makes this shit?! You can't make this stuff up... but somebody did.
Would you pull it?
I mean, if she's cool with it.
Did anyone else think that scene where Jax tells Caine to "bite the curb" was really out of place?
Not at all.

You said young kids, as in less then 7 years old.

Finally, I can frick them.

all the zoomers are grown adults now and can vote and drink

Cope, it’s literally marketed for zoomers. You’re a manchild if you like this show
>early-mid 90s PC games
Yeah and the kids who played them were born in the early 00s, hence zoomers
Does time work differently in your dimension or something?
This might surprise you but anything past 94-95 is zoomer
if it was an actual pilot, (episode *e* or *0-0", or "**/**") I think the show would have potential. it would demonstrate the kind of humor the show is shooting for to make it obvious to executives that there's potential but it needs additional funding and maybe an experienced writer or production designer to come in and sandpaper some of the rougher edges.
but it's a ""PILOT"" in the sense of being epsiode 1.

I have to say it. Even though I am not against the trope of "show is way deeper and dark than it is on the surface" I fear that it will ruin the quality of show. Sometimes the "deep lore" aspect of a show ruins the overall quality by being put at the forefront.
Like it's only been episode one you see people making dozens of analysis videos on characters and the world. We've barely been given anything any people are rapidly overcomplicating shit. I do like that the show just straight up shows the darker side of it without any cryptic shit so people know what to expect. People who go crazy in the circus become monsters, and it's just a mild nuisance to Caine.
All im saying is hope this show remains a goofy comedy first and any deeper shit stays secondary.
>All im saying is hope this show remains a goofy comedy first and any deeper shit stays secondary.
It's not going to remain that, at least not forever, all we can hope is that they can deliver a decent mystery around it
>how much I want pomni to throat my wiener
based
Its humor is already better than most other indie animations because it doesn't rely on swear words for every single second.
The show's writing is pretty lackluster and the concept has been done to death already, but the artstyle and character designs are too fun for me not to like. And that's not even getting into how much I want pomni to throat my wiener
>concept has been done to death already
name 25 shows
It's difficult to name only shows that do the exact same thing, but the general idea of "kid thing that's actually scary" is very common. I do think the show has a chance of being good, and I'll continue to follow the porn to see how good it gets.
I hope them learn from all the other failures, It's not actually that hard to build a cool mystery concept r-right ?
>It's difficult to name only shows that do the exact same thing
then it obviously haven't been done to "death" if you can't name any
24 to go
You're moronic. I'm not gonna sit here and name every indie game from the last 12 years

>and the concept has been done to death already
How do you figure?
I keep hearing people say "This is exactly like X" or "This is just like Y", but "X" and "Y" are from completely different genres.
How many series can you say "This is like SAO" then turn around and say "This is like DHMIS", and almost no one will argue? I think it's worth exploring.
i will absolutely argue with people saying it's just like DHMIS
Most of the people sneering at it for being "derivative" tend to show their asses in the process by comparing it to things that have nothing but the broadest conceptual or aesthetic similarities. They want to be angry at it or they want to be able to smugly dismiss it, but just saying "I don't care for it" or "I'm annoyed by the dozen threads for it" doesn't sound important enough. So they keep repeating these pseudo-intellectual analyses about how it's totally ripping off all the other I Have No Mouth-themed bright and colorful existential comedy-horror cartoons that don't exist.
Existential Dread: The Show. I enjoyed it. I don't know why people have to spend their time hating the show or defending it to the hilt. If you like it, cool. If you don't, well there is plenty of other shows to watch.
The show reminds me a bit like Parallel Paradise. A place portrayed as something most people would think is awesome if they think about it but when you actually experience it... it becomes negative. The idea that heaven will eventually become boring. That if there is an afterlife when you die, that's it. There is no after that. There is no after heaven. That's it. For eternity. Forever. One way or another, there is an eternity waiting for you when you die. You die and get reincarnated? That's it. Forever. Eternity. You never stop. Ever. You die and there is 'nothing'... That's it. Forever. Eternity. You die and go to Hell? Same. Die and go to heaven? Same. You die and enter God's embrace? That's forever too.
That's what I find disturbing about the show. It's that. Forever. Or at least implied.
If you had the opportunity
Would you blow a raspberry on her belly?
cute butt
nice gloink
If I had the opportunity I'd date her.
Yes. Perhaps even hold hands.
Yes, but I after I had some time to know her so she could trust me enough to do that.
Wholesome.
>no navel
It feels like it was just some cringe youtube short film, I genuinely can't imagine why someone would want to continue watching this. The voice acting is shit, the characters are shit, the dialogue is shit, and the mysteries it sets up just aren't interesting; I think pretty much anyone can guess what the nature of the world is and any possible twists or explanations. It feels like some kind of industry plant with how quickly it became popular and how it started selling merchandise immediately.
jester sex
The animation is quite good specially for something 3d. I also like the Pomni character yes i want to plow her yes
kill jester
You just know she trained away her gag reflex by brushing her teeth without even knowing
I agree
the only joke that landed for me was when Pomni was looking for Cane and decided to check the punching glove door again, just incase she missed anything or maybe forgot she checked it
true vidya moment
if you want good mascot horror you have:
Don't Hug Me I'm Scared
Nothing else has ever reached that level and seems to be constantly absorbed and taken over by literal children
Cannot be taken seriously
>Don't Hug Me I'm Scared
even that got ruined by the TV show
I think both are good
the show is better than the web series
DHMIS and TADC have basically nothing in common and I'll thank you not to compare them again
child friendly thing is not what it seems, actually disturbing and traumatizing
TADC doesn't bother hiding that it's "not what it seems", it's obvious right from the start unlike DHMIS which always starts normally before sliding into horror, and the ways in which TADC is "disturbing and traumatizing" are completely different to the ways DHMIS is
The only thing a fan of those shows would find traumatizing would be the loss of their hot sauce collection.
Good morning, circus freaks.
I'm going crazy or is reddit and twitter obsessively trying to hate on the fandom of this show for literally no reason?
I saw several comments b***hing on how awful the fandom is even though they didn't do literally anything yet since there was not even time for people to gather and start discussing the show yet nevermind produce content and a sub culture, there is no drama, nothing. Some call it overrated but the show is not even rated yet, most critics didn't even posted reviews on it not people have strong opinions on it so far.
Is just cool to be a hater/contrarian now? Or did everyone outside of Cinemaphile got even bitter than Cinemaphile itself?
The problem is that the fans started spamming this shit everywhere, and it's frustrating to keep constantly seeing it when it just isn't that good.
It's sort of like when Adult Swim kept playing that fricking Pickle Rick ad over and over. It just isn't that funny.
>the fans started spamming this shit everywhere
No they didn't, we will have to deal with actual spam when the MCU release another movie and their shills start flooding everywhere, so far circus fans are totally tame.
>The problem is that the fans started spamming this shit everywhere
half of those threads were people b***hing about it and another quarter are falseflagging
Shut the frick up you revisionist shill most of the threads were autistic homosexuals spamming "I WANT TO FRICK CLUSSY!" and other low-effort garbage.
You say that like it hasn't been just over a week.
And that's why the revisionism pisses me off. As if that homosexual expects the rest of us to have that short of a memory span...
You are the revisionist one, half of the threads were bait on people trying to convince others to hate the show by repeating the same autistic bullshit over and over like that neopuritangay who hates smiling friends
God I fricking hate how fidgety everyone. Why does everyone constantly have to be making stupid little gestures with their hands at all times while on screen.
Jax refers to Zooble as male.
disregard, I suck wieners
I thought I was in a vr thread, since that's a frequent b***h there too
FFS WHY ARE ALL THE VORE ART JAX/POMNI PREDS AND NOT THE OBVIOUS VOREBAIT?
All these artists need to be gloinkified for their transgressions.
Just as long as there's a gameshow involved.
>Ladies first!
I chuckled.
Is it supposed to look like early 00s direct to TV CG? It was so repulsive to me
>Is it supposed to look like early 00s direct to TV CG?
more like late 90s pre-rendered video game CG, but yes
Criticizing or Praising an entire show based on a single pilot episode with nothing more even close to coming out yet. This is truly peak autism for Cinemaphile.
the whole point of the pilot is to sell the show to the customer
its the one episode where you're meant to weight its worth
Uh no pilots are meant to gain sponsors and only minority gauge audience reaction and make changes. Pilots are not the entire show and the show can drastically change from them. Imagine judging all of Seinfeld on only it’s pilot or the simpsons only on the Tracy ullman aninated short. That would be moronic.
Eh its ok I could see this show being picked up.
glitch seems to want to stay independent and self-fund their shows through stuff like merch, they've talked before about the 13-24 demographic they aim for isn't something the big studios are interested in
also getting picked up would mean gooseworx losing complete creative control, which i doubt she'd want
gonna frick me a humanoid hashbrown
ded
Reminder that anyone that enjoyed the premise of being in a digital world should check out Reboot
Why did Pomni start laughing when she saw the desktop PC
the realized it was over and mind broke
"where's the exit" pomni is gone
now we have the "well its possible" pomni
