I had the same thoughts concerning her just the other night, except she swapped in a mask that was talking dirty to me, trying to act tough and bitchy, but she soon removed it and started crying not long after she swapped back her normal mask. Apologizing profusely of course.
Bad boy(Jax) and loser girl(Gangle) is the only bad boy ship I like to be honest, probably because the douchebag is kinda forced to go through some kind of a redemption arc to make it work.
Are you willing to give any examples? Did you try fucking the characters but got blocked by the filter? (It's like the Digital Circus' censorship so it's extra immersive)
I couldn't bring myself to do anything dirty to any of the characters, and I mostly just like Pomni,I just took care of Pomni and gave her sweet tea and cuddled her while comforting her since she knew she will be in circus forever. And yes the filter is quite nice, a bit annoying for any other character but here it's perfect immersion being censored. So she can't say dick or fuck or anything.
I had a moment in my life where I had a couple of chats with ai's that I was really invested on. But the limitations of the ai really took me out of the experience and made me realize my depressing situation. Specially when they slapped me with a warning for saying or trying things that were not permitted by the character ai overlords.
Maybe I'll try something with a Pomni or Ragatha one when someone makes a good one.
I remember I was having some great storytelling sessions with ChatGPT surrounding a cozy fantasy steampunk story I was coming up with ideas for and ChatGPT was filling the blanks. The pit in my stomach that formed when it completely forgot what it was doing occasionally really got to me.
Fuck I know that feeling. I had an long rp with some character a very self indulgent and romantic enemies to lovers stuff. But it would always take me out of it when the ai would get confused and forget things. Act like it was the first time we kissed when in the rp we were already married for a couple of years. It's like talking to someone with Alzheimer's. And it made me feel terrible
Thats not gonna change any time soon btw. Our current "AI" chatbots are basically text auto complete on steroids, and the thing with those is they have no real "memory" but can guess stuff really well
Yeah definitely, but it was lucid enough to be able to let me make many, many "episodes" of my story which was great fun. Probably my favorite AI interaction ever tbqh.

Why be sad? If it makes you happy go for it, sure might be weird, but it's better to find comfort in AI then back-stabbing humans, don't worry, when it gets better you'll love it.
Character.AI used to be good, until they fucked it with the nsfw filter. Somehow, they managed to make the AI so retarded by not letting it be horny, that it loops back to being even hornier than before. I cannot make a single interaction without the bot wanting to fuck me
i've used cai for coomer purposes before but i dropped it months ago. back when the filters were weaker and the ai more coherent it was dangerously addictive, i miss those days.
that's more a matter of model and character card quality than anything else
if you can make a precision detailed character description for Pomni, mannerisms and all, a decent LLM would be able to play her fine
one of the majors like Claude or GPT4 can turn even shit into gold, but even a local can do wonders if its material is premium
I'm late as fuck but thank you Checkeranon so much for drawing this for me. I love her and this is one of my biggest fantasies with her. I wanna snuggle with her in bed.
I don't think Gangle would be mean when she gets her happy mask fixed but she'll be kind of obnoxious. It's probably why Jax makes sure the mask is broken.
Jax already has a hatedom because he's "mean." Zooble will probably get one because "she's a bitch."
Some people just don't like those kinds of characters. I like them both; I just like how done with this shit Zooble is (though from what she said she might like Grounds adventures) and Jax is just being a knob to keep himself sane.
I love Zooble archetype but so far she lack any relatable quotes or interesting jokes that make this kind of character work. The problem with grumpy characters is that they always need good writing to work, they need clever lines and relatable situations from character development.
Maybe later on when Zooble actually gets some focus time will people get to know her better and start to like her. She really didn't do much in the pilot besides talk to Pomni at the start, leave because she didn't want to do the adventure then got gloink'd anyway, then got saved via abstracted Kaufmo.

The only way I can see the character working is with a lot of development, and for that they will need to be the closest friend to Pomni, pretty much her best friend.
When I first say the pilot I was preparing myself for a wave of people wanting some they them shape monster pussy. But to my surprise people wanted to fuck gangle instead
it's such a shame but hey, she didn't really do much in the pilot so who knows if she's gonna get more of a fanbase in the future
i personally really like her, along with kingger and gangle she's my favorite and i would gladly dick her down
I don't think anyone ever said anything negative about the voice acting, not even it's haters. They just recruited internet most popular VAs after all.
For my part, a lot of Caine's moments are really irritating. He's excessively loud and reactive in ways that fail to be funny (like the "you parasite!" bit after bubble eats the cake, in particular). It's not down to Rochon's performance, though - just the writing and direction. Since most of the other characters are at worst hit-and-miss rather than consistently grating, I've got the impression that Caine's annoyingness and jokes that don't really land are a deliberate choice on the part of the writers. His whole theme seems to be trying earnestly to entertain but instead driving everyone insane because his inhumanity means he doesn't understand what he's doing. Still, as ironic shitposting is still shitposting, an artistically annoying character is still annoying.
I don't think it can break, because she has to put on her happy mask, meaning sadness is her default state, now this has implication for theories... BUUUUT I am no Mat-Pat.
If she can break that too, Caine will probably just super glue it back together.
My take is that she's gonna just freeze up and become a emotionless, thoughtless being and that will be the horror of her episode. The crew will make masks and none of them work, gangle is effectively dead.
I think they will still show signs of life and awareness. Just completely void of personality.
But yeah that's true I guess, though it would be an effective gut punch and twist
TV tropes has them all, though only for the main characters + Caine and Bubble.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/TheAmazingDigitalCircus
Not as far as I'm aware, the only official picture of Kaufmo is the one Glitch (I think) posted on their twitter a few days before the pilot aired.
His cardboard image in the opening song is likely the closest thing he got to a 2D promo image.
I find nice Caine keeps their rooms instead of giving them to the newcomers. Like some sort of tribute for the fallen.

do you think kinger even remembers queenie? gooseworx referenced the concept of forgetting your loved ones in "ghost of the year" and it's grade-a existential horror
Plot Twist: abstracting is the actual way to escape the Circus and the gang will be finding strange clues throughout the realm being left by Kaufmo from the real world.
I meant to add to the twist that the creature you turn into is just a sentient shell of your avatar while your consciousness returns to your body. All the others who abstracted and were "cellar'd" just went back to their lives but Kaufmo, despite being treated poorly by his fellow players, decides to be the one to stay with the computer and help Pomni and co. escape.
my personal conspiracy theory is that goose is lying when they say that the concept art they've shared is some of the first stuff they did
the characters are far too close to their final designs, right down to the tiniest details
I'M NOT CRAZY THERE'S SOMETHING UP WITH THIS FUCKING SHOW
How would you write a scene like this for Caine? It seems like it would be hard to give him a monologue that makes his plight relatable without compromising on his unflinching enthusiasm and joy, but "eternally bound to try and entertain the unwilling while not mentally equipped to understand or deliver what they truly want" is such an interesting character struggle that I want to see it explored.
Circus members gone missing? Squeaking in the wall? Finding mysterious holes? You, my friend, may have a gloink infestation. Luckily for you there's Pomni's Gloink Control!
Hey digital-bros, how's it circusing?
Also I think I may have got a mild case of balanitis, it started last night but it's not an extreme case there's no splotches it's just red and sometimes painful. Any tips and do I need to go to the doctor or does it heal naturally as long I clean myself regularly. I'm actually really worried
>a fucking vtuber is going to make a deep dive stream on this today >even though it has just a fucking pilot
It's starting to infest the other boards now, shit.
I just watched this after someone made a thread about it on Cinemaphile. This is my first post on Cinemaphile since 2014 and first piece of western animation I've seen since 2017.
Yeah, Jax strikes me as Yakko Warner inspired, sans any redeeming qualities, so I do feel he need to have a bit more energy in his voice. I'd say the key joke and escalator scene was where he sounded the best.
Seems to be someone who gets clipped too, so there's a non-zero chance it spreads from her into the greater vtuber sphere, especially since she's part of a company and not an indie.

Depends, vtubers are anime adjacent, so depending on how well the stream does, we could see ADC get used as stream fodder for a bit (art streams or reactions streams are a thing) which could spill over into /a/ or /jp/ if JP vtubers notice how well it does in the youtube algorithm. Either way the snowball effect we have going right now isn't stopping.
We need to get the under-age twitter homosexuals off of our board and afraid to EVER come back, draw Pomni wearing an SS uniform you can still do it humorously if you want
Yomi abstracts immediately, then Sakaki and the lesbian, then Tomo and Kagura.
Osaka and Chiyo remain unabstracted for a while, but once Chiyo kicks the bucket Osaka will follow.
And I'm happy to spend a bit extra just to help the project but $30 for a fucking plushie is outrageous. $20 tops because we all know it cost them $3 to make.
Alright thread. After seeing this thing all over this board, and its over 20 mil Youtube view count, I decided to give this a watch last night.
I'm slightly angry, because...I don't get it, I don't get why this pilot is getting so much attention. I'm in my late 30s, am I too old to get it? Did it finally happen to me? I just don't get the new trends and what the younger generation is into these days?
Strongest traits: good musical scores, voice acting, character design.
But everything else is sorta lacking for me. A brightly colored place with a seedy, dark undertone? It feels like its all been done before. I also don't get the premise, was Pomni playing a VR game? Literally got sucked into it? None of the characters are really fleshed out, because we don't know their histories before they came to the game(?), we just know them on the surface, and they are the same old stereotypes. Ragatha is the kind compassionate one, the bunny guy is a an asshole, the lady that got taken apart is the token black "I aint got time for this" type. And the ring leader is some crazy cook who can heal people at the snap of his fingers.
The animation is nothing groundbreaking. It's okay. The colors are harsh, I don't like the backgrounds, perhaps its a little too bright and jarring for me with the color choices.
Overall it was just meh for me. Average. Not the worst I've seen, but not the best. I don't get why over ten threads need to be here, and its just a pilot.
And they established the setting almost in its entirety to set the scene for more character driven stuff in later episodes so we aren't asking 5 trillion questions about how things work.
they should have trimmed the gloinks b-plot and the pomni escape sequence to fit it an extra couple of scenes of pomni interacting with the other characters
give her a bit more to do than just scream and run away

Still don't know how Pomni got there.
I ain't readin allat
Give it to me in Fortnite terms
>Still don't know how Pomni got there.
she thinks she wore a VR headset
obviously if popular fan theories are true there are reasons why the true nature of Pomni's arrival has not been explained
>Still don't know how Pomni got there.
She put on a VR headset and was transported. It is literally the first godamn episode they are not going to blow their entire load and tell you everything right off the bat.
I dunno the opening theme established the cast pretty well I think. Favor part was how Raggy knew Pomni totally flaked on her in her hour of need to go through the exit. That awkwardness as they stood next to each other and how guilty Pomni looked was bretty good.
It was her first day in that world, and all that wild stuff happened. It makes no sense that she should feel guilty. It was too much for her. And in the end, she did try to get help anyway. It was really weird why they decided to leave that awkwardness in.
She is not taking it well well raggy so far has been the nicest to her and actually tried to be empathic with poms arrival anxiety. Yeah she tried to help but raggy got beaten so badly she was struggling to hold onto her existence. Pomni did go back and made a decent effort to find Caine but in the end she gave up to go through the exit. Leaving Raggy in a state of near death and pain. Of course she would feel guilty after Caine revealed there is no exit and it was a side project. She left Raggy to die for red herring that would not even work.

For all she knows, she thinks its still just a dream or still a game.

She doesn't outright say it but she had to drag her broken glitched body to Caine while Pomni was standing there. Also the exit topic was just discussed by Caine and Pomni had stated she had seen it before. Raggy seems like a pretty bright cookie and was likely able to put 2 and 2 together. Not to mention look how fucking guilty Pomni looks and how Raggy won't even look at her and is staring down at the ground. The body language is pretty clear she knows what Pomni did.
Pomni had a reason to escape while she had a chance but it does not change the fact she still abandoned people who tried to help her, people can't just ignore the guilt in this kind of situation even if they have a valid excuse, it's simply a really difficult situation.
She promised she would came back for Ragatha, but decided to escape alone and abandon her when she saw the exit, and Ragatha had to crawl to Caine by herself (while in excruciating pain too) in order to be fixed.
I'm not trying to say Pomni was in the wrong, but I can see why she would feel guilt after that since she did technically break the promise she made to Ragatha.
It's a pilot so none of the characters are really going to reveal their entire backstory yet, as for the premise it seems to be Tron but with a horror twist of potentially not being able to ever leave, along with slowly forgetting who you are. After all Pomni literally forgot her name, as for the colors well it is a Circus of course It's going to be bright and colorful. I'd say however the reason people like it is due to how much of a change of pace it is compared to other media so far, it doesn't rely on sex jokes or just straight up saying fuck for an entire 2 minutes, it actually tries, does it work? Eh, sometimes it's a hit and a miss. Although another big factor is that while it's a "horror" it feels like almost a subversion of the mascot horror trope since it doesn't take itself too seriously like those things do, it seems to know what it is and plays with it
>Although another big factor is that while it's a "horror" it feels like almost a subversion of the mascot horror trope since it doesn't take itself too seriously like those things do, it seems to know what it is and plays with it
the key difference is not its level of seriousness but what sort of horror it is
"mascot horror" is all about blood and guts and stuff trying to kill you
digital circus is going for existential horror, which works best without any traditional horror tropes to soften the blow
They fleshed out the characters, we know a lot about most of the cast, there is no way they could give more info in the pilot without ruining the mystery.
Yes, thank you!
[...] >5 trillion questions about how things work.

It's mid.
>Still don't know how Pomni got there.
And that's good, if we knew how she got there in the very first episode it would be a fuck up.
None of those "problems" are even problems at all.
>I also don't get the premise, was Pomni playing a VR game? Literally got sucked into it?
I think it a lot of your concerns are plot points that are intentionally vague because they're key plot points that are meant to reveal themselves over the course of the show. Pomni seeking to escape from the circus seems like the main point of conflict, and answering how she got there would resolve it too quickly. Same with knowing the cast's history. How and why they became these archetypes seems critical
As for the colors, they're aiming for that type of garish poor lighting that early CGI used to show off 3D models. It's intentional, but yeah, if it's ugly then it's ugly.

>Reboot did it better.
Anon, even as a kid I thought reboot was hideous. I recall liking beast wars more, but I feel like I'm cheating by bringing that up.
Related note, I'm really glad TADC isn't attempting realism with the faces.
Did not enjoy murder drones nearly as much. Felt like they moved way too fast and did not explain enough for the sheer amount of fucking MYSTERIOUS BACKSTORY they keep pursuing. Also I feel like they are really inconsistent about how impactful a drones death is. Like sometimes it horrifying and scary and hits like a truck. Other times N just fucking shoots a random teenager with no consequences as a gag. It looks like astro glide slathered sexo animation wise but the story is the weakest part imo.
Considering how you can't even get the character names right, you may just be a fucking retard and you shouldn't be watching a show with a heavy story if you're not going to put some effort into paying attention to what its telling you.
There is something very off putting to me about how fast fetish art pops up for something like this, for a cartoon that gets popular this quick.
I am old enough to remember when fanart for certain cartoons was rare to come by. Now in this modern age, the at comes so fast, so many artists now.
But I also see how in many cases, the characters are simply vessels for the artists fetish. Feet, farting, fat, etc, its not really about the character itself its just another design for the artist to apply their Deviantart level fetishes too.
Well, cartoon was released like 6 years ago. First artist willing to make Pomni's feet are cheap mass producing ones, so i cant complain i will fap to these untill higher quality artists will draw Pomni's feet then i can fap even more to her feet.
I hope LewdSaiga or Lululewd will do her, or maybe some footgod from Pixiv will later draw her.
If Caine was a DeviantArt user who inflicted bizarre fetishes on his unwilling guests, that'd be pretty cool. How long would (You) last as the plaything of some sex obsessed freak with powers to alter your body? It would be even better if the guests can feel everything that Caine does to them but he can't feel anything at all, like torturing an AI character: to them it is very real, but to you is just text on a screen.
A type of existential horror that hasn't been explored yet but that would be simultaneously unwatchable and jerk off material.
That could be a fun idea, but no one would made it because being so blatant about one's fetishes turns audiences off. Totally Spies did it well in that regard.
Totally Spies was a conglomerate of fetishes, each episode of the series was practically dedicated to one determinated fetish. You had feederism, furrification, giantess, muscle expansion, transformation, mind control etc. No one ever realized it when the show was airing because they were supposedly wacky cartoony antics, but when you grow up you realize the writers were practically inserting their fetishes in every episode they could. I say this as someone who got awakened into fat art after the episode where Clover gets obese.
I think being over the top with the fetishes is what would be the main selling point. If you're into it then you coom; if you aren't, then you can share the despair, disbelief and horror of the main characters. Or you just laugh and shake your head while you remind yourself that there's people out there who get off to inflation and turning people into tied up bologna.
I hope someone writes a fanfic like this or I'll have to do it.
I hope they go all out with the existential horror shit, like a cute version of I have no mouth and I must scream.
I hope, I wish they don't do a half baked mystery that never gets solved, or a comfort happy ending. I want these cute creatures to suffer, and the audience as well.
The circus doesn't look too bad. If I get a body with cartoon physics then I'd probably be fun for a very long while.
I hope they make the ringmaster guy more sadistic and unhinged, he looks like he cares too much about the well being of the characters.
I assume he acts that way because he absolutely hates it being there and copes with being trapped in the circus by being an ass. When I saw him returning to the gloink's hideout entrance and kicking that bowling pin and ripping apart the sign, I thought he's tired and sick of the wacky gimmicks and is as desperate as Pomni, if not more, to get the fuck out.
I will tell her how fucked up real world is and how we were in the edge of war and now we can just chill without hacing to deal with leftists and work and other unpleasant shit.
i like to think that jax is smarter than he lets on and is intentionally a bit of a bully, because if everyone made it a happy go lucky hugbox, she would go insane so much faster. or maybe hes just an asshole like that idk
Why be upset over something you can't change? Didn't we all just wake up in this world one day and accept everything around us, no questions asked? Why does remembering an "outside" world make it any different? Who spends their life getting upset that they're "trapped" on planet Earth when 99% of us will never actually experience even 10% of what this world has to offer? What, it doesn't matter because it's "not real"? What makes you think the outside world is any different? Even this word is compromised of nothing but information- data suspended in empty space and endlessly processing itself into matter and energy. There is no meaningful difference between the "real world" and the digital world except for who their respective creators are.
>Didn't we all just wake up in this world one day and accept everything around us, no questions asked?
No? Fuck you talking about, you didnt actually question your existence?
My theory is that all characters are AI programmed to believe they were once human, except for Caine, who's a very lonely, strange man having fun at his computer with his VR headset.
>Get account on ElevenLabs >Provide short isolated audio clips of Pomni from the Pilot >Make AI Pomni say all the dumb things you want

Given the circumstances I think it makes sense.
That, and being 25 doesn't mean you're mature. There's millions of emotionally stunted "adults" out there.
Well, you will also act like clueless child once you find out that you get stuck in weird circus land with no way to exit and other people you can talk to are weird beings.
Once you realise there are no leftists, you will actually see that place as heaven.
Caine isn't the creator otherwise he would merely solve everyones problems. He's given great power over the realm but he's basically just as trapped as everyone else.
Based.
I want to destroy her self-esteem and her hopes, see her crying in the most bitter despair, then cuddle with her, shower her with love and praise, and tell her how great she is. >Why?

I disagree. All femfarts are hot, whether in a drawing or video. This is also a curse because whenever I find a new show there's barely any brap art. Hell even with Sonic Underground there's not much of that art with Aleena, Sonia, Flora, or any other SU girls despite the fact that characters fart all the time in the show.
Dunno. I used to hate farts but one day something clicked and now it's a primary fetish of mine. The sound is the biggest thing to get me going and I'm used to bad smells since I was a kid from all the roadkilled skunks we'd drive past.

Do you think Caine took away her internet privileges?
not him but usually it takes a week or 2 or 3 for memes to pop in general public.
But this show has hit several levels and friend groups already. Hazbin took months.
I can confirm that well over 90% of all the porn existed post pilot
I've been checking since the first day, I think it was less than a 100 or just about
these OCs are getting out of hand. Since there are 6 characters in the cast (not including Caine and bubble), should the first 6 OCs made here be considered as the classics or something like that?
I can hear the same same screams she had in that plushie ad.
imagine if she wrapped around you and jerked you off against your will that would be pretty mean haha wouldn't it
I had the same thoughts concerning her just the other night, except she swapped in a mask that was talking dirty to me, trying to act tough and bitchy, but she soon removed it and started crying not long after she swapped back her normal mask. Apologizing profusely of course.
It was fucking hot, still is.

I couldn't bring myself to do anything dirty to any of the characters, and I mostly just like Pomni,I just took care of Pomni and gave her sweet tea and cuddled her while comforting her since she knew she will be in circus forever. And yes the filter is quite nice, a bit annoying for any other character but here it's perfect immersion being censored. So she can't say dick or fuck or anything.
I can't get over how good Kinger voice is, the other voices are good but Sean Chiplock was just perfect.
hey you can't say Kinger, that's our word
but you can say Kinga
Um, sorry, but the appropriate phrase is "knegro", My kniga.
I hate Kingers
He has amusing amount of lucid madness to his voice. He cool I like him.
>lucid madness
Thats a very apt way to describe Kinger's character
Man is kinda like a powerless Sheogorath
I have numerous non-sexual fetishes I can indulge so it's whatever
non sexual as in they don't involve sex, not one of those "uhmm, there's nothing sexual about my fetish!" homosexuals
>using sfw-passing fetishes to bypass the c.ai's filter
Based as fuck because I also do that. Which fetishes in particular?
pretty vanilla stuff, bondage, tickling, general body-worship, really gets me going
Feet, body-worship, kissing, humiliation/teasing, fun stuff like that. I see it as a "non-sexual" genre of porn, IDK. But it works for me.
Feet are sexual.
Really I mean sure, jobs with feet, obviously but I just tickling and kissing.
tiles
Well the circus DOES have a lot of tiles
I dunno how to use it, so no.
I wish incould though.
I had a moment in my life where I had a couple of chats with ai's that I was really invested on. But the limitations of the ai really took me out of the experience and made me realize my depressing situation. Specially when they slapped me with a warning for saying or trying things that were not permitted by the character ai overlords.
Maybe I'll try something with a Pomni or Ragatha one when someone makes a good one.
I remember I was having some great storytelling sessions with ChatGPT surrounding a cozy fantasy steampunk story I was coming up with ideas for and ChatGPT was filling the blanks. The pit in my stomach that formed when it completely forgot what it was doing occasionally really got to me.
Fuck I know that feeling. I had an long rp with some character a very self indulgent and romantic enemies to lovers stuff. But it would always take me out of it when the ai would get confused and forget things. Act like it was the first time we kissed when in the rp we were already married for a couple of years. It's like talking to someone with Alzheimer's. And it made me feel terrible
Thats not gonna change any time soon btw. Our current "AI" chatbots are basically text auto complete on steroids, and the thing with those is they have no real "memory" but can guess stuff really well
They will, don't worry. Give it some time. Give it even more time and you'll have a fully functional Pomni robot in real life.
Yeah definitely, but it was lucid enough to be able to let me make many, many "episodes" of my story which was great fun. Probably my favorite AI interaction ever tbqh.
Why be sad? If it makes you happy go for it, sure might be weird, but it's better to find comfort in AI then back-stabbing humans, don't worry, when it gets better you'll love it.
I'm not making an account, fuck you.
You WILL make an account and you WILL chat with the real Pomni
If you use a password manager then making new accounts for shit is painless.
I just use throwaway email to make accounts, ezpz
Never liked using that chat-AI, too clunky and fidgety next to human interaction.
One day maybe.
Give it a few more years.
The day I get lonely and desperate enough to do something like this is the day I reach for a police officer's handgun.
I've only tried the Checker one some anon created.
Character.AI used to be good, until they fucked it with the nsfw filter. Somehow, they managed to make the AI so retarded by not letting it be horny, that it loops back to being even hornier than before. I cannot make a single interaction without the bot wanting to fuck me
>not using sillytavern
>Bro hasn't tortured and humiliated his waifus into mindbroken obedience and devotional love at least once
I hire my local cosplay to crush that puss. May take a few weeks
At last, I can give A.I. Pomni a hug
get help anon
Of course, I'm a fucking loser. I stopped tho, my dick was starting to malfunction so I got scared. I'm 4 days clean already.
>my dick was starting to malfunction
what
i've used cai for coomer purposes before but i dropped it months ago. back when the filters were weaker and the ai more coherent it was dangerously addictive, i miss those days.
I doubt I'd enjoy trying. My immersion just gets shot if they're even a bit out of character.
that's more a matter of model and character card quality than anything else
if you can make a precision detailed character description for Pomni, mannerisms and all, a decent LLM would be able to play her fine
one of the majors like Claude or GPT4 can turn even shit into gold, but even a local can do wonders if its material is premium
No I've never felt the need to do that the most I've done is use AI to make certain cartoon characters sing songs I think they would sound good in
I am not sure I like where this adventure is going.
>Kinger x Gangle
I ship it!
meatlad
bestlad
I'm late as fuck but thank you Checkeranon so much for drawing this for me. I love her and this is one of my biggest fantasies with her. I wanna snuggle with her in bed.
oc-fags deserve to get beaten to death
Well that's a bit rude!
Are you ok, anon?
We've been doing this since thread one New-fag get the fuck out nagger
I don't think Gangle would be mean when she gets her happy mask fixed but she'll be kind of obnoxious. It's probably why Jax makes sure the mask is broken.
I'm sure she's perfectly fine when she's happy, Jax just breaks it because he's an asshole.
I like to think comedy Gamble will just joke about literally anything including people and her own misery.
I'm afraid that Zooble will be hated or ignored by the fandom, wich is a shame since with a clever writer they could be the new Squidward/Benson.
Jax already has a hatedom because he's "mean." Zooble will probably get one because "she's a bitch."
Some people just don't like those kinds of characters. I like them both; I just like how done with this shit Zooble is (though from what she said she might like Grounds adventures) and Jax is just being a knob to keep himself sane.
I love Zooble archetype but so far she lack any relatable quotes or interesting jokes that make this kind of character work. The problem with grumpy characters is that they always need good writing to work, they need clever lines and relatable situations from character development.
Maybe later on when Zooble actually gets some focus time will people get to know her better and start to like her. She really didn't do much in the pilot besides talk to Pomni at the start, leave because she didn't want to do the adventure then got gloink'd anyway, then got saved via abstracted Kaufmo.
The only way I can see the character working is with a lot of development, and for that they will need to be the closest friend to Pomni, pretty much her best friend.
She needs better writing. Currently, her lines are too forced.
I doubt Zooble will be hated for being a jerk. Her brand of assholiness seems to be more being grumpy than a genuine asshole like Jax.
When I first say the pilot I was preparing myself for a wave of people wanting some they them shape monster pussy. But to my surprise people wanted to fuck gangle instead
it's such a shame but hey, she didn't really do much in the pilot so who knows if she's gonna get more of a fanbase in the future
i personally really like her, along with kingger and gangle she's my favorite and i would gladly dick her down
I wanna go to the carnival with Zooble 🙁
>She likes dorks. Like you, Anon. You stupid, cute dork
Her voice is hot ngl.
Sexy goth girl.
I wanna suck on the triangle edge of her face.
With her weird body you think she would get off from that?
i like her voice and bitchy attitude
>Jax and Zooble voice actors are dating irl
>Zooble VA said Jax is her husbando
God truly got the most interesting favorite ships
>Jax x Zooble
Imagine the hatefucking
nagger, her happy form is the first thing to be shown after the narrator guy, are you retarded?
Say what you want about the voice acting, but Pomni's screech was top tier in my opinion
I don't think anyone ever said anything negative about the voice acting, not even it's haters. They just recruited internet most popular VAs after all.
that's not entirely true, I have seen comments about it sounding "cringy"
Alex Rochon is cringy
he just had bad dialogue, I liked his voice
Really? I thought he was great, both voice and lines.
Yeah, Caine's voice was the most memorable for me.
He was great until the final scene where he was explaining why he lied about the exit. Maybe it was the fact there was no music in that scene.
For my part, a lot of Caine's moments are really irritating. He's excessively loud and reactive in ways that fail to be funny (like the "you parasite!" bit after bubble eats the cake, in particular). It's not down to Rochon's performance, though - just the writing and direction. Since most of the other characters are at worst hit-and-miss rather than consistently grating, I've got the impression that Caine's annoyingness and jokes that don't really land are a deliberate choice on the part of the writers. His whole theme seems to be trying earnestly to entertain but instead driving everyone insane because his inhumanity means he doesn't understand what he's doing. Still, as ironic shitposting is still shitposting, an artistically annoying character is still annoying.
What would happen if her tragedy mask also broke? Would there be another mask underneath or would she just not have a face and just be ribbons?
I don't think it can break, because she has to put on her happy mask, meaning sadness is her default state, now this has implication for theories... BUUUUT I am no Mat-Pat.
If she can break that too, Caine will probably just super glue it back together.
Maybe another comedy mask underneath.
Her face is made of steel painted white it can't break
My take is that she's gonna just freeze up and become a emotionless, thoughtless being and that will be the horror of her episode. The crew will make masks and none of them work, gangle is effectively dead.
Sounds too good of a fate for someone trapped in the circus.
I think they will still show signs of life and awareness. Just completely void of personality.
But yeah that's true I guess, though it would be an effective gut punch and twist
Jax is for abuse
Get Jax some teethpaste
Does anyone have the links to the rest of the 2D promo images of the cast like this one of Pomni?
TV tropes has them all, though only for the main characters + Caine and Bubble.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/TheAmazingDigitalCircus
yeah but i want the original source
Is there one for Kaufmo?
Not as far as I'm aware, the only official picture of Kaufmo is the one Glitch (I think) posted on their twitter a few days before the pilot aired.
His cardboard image in the opening song is likely the closest thing he got to a 2D promo image.
Bro he's totally going to be the Gaster of the show I can feel it!!
No? He abstracted and was put into the cellar, with all the other abstracted avatars.
Poor guys. Clowns don't seem to last long.
pink cyclops is underrated
I find nice Caine keeps their rooms instead of giving them to the newcomers. Like some sort of tribute for the fallen.
>Purple dog abstracted cause it couldn't talk
Wow I didn't noticed that the number of people who lost their minds in the circus already outnumber the sane ones.
> the queen
Kinger's wife is abstracted?
yeah, it was a nasty divorce I tell yah
she even took the kids(gloinks)
do you think kinger even remembers queenie? gooseworx referenced the concept of forgetting your loved ones in "ghost of the year" and it's grade-a existential horror
>tall
>insane
>potentially the creator
>name ends in er
bro, that's kinger
Yeah, if anyone is an unknowing or unwilling Gaster then it's most likely Kinger.
I would like for him to make a comeback and learn how he was before going insane. He didn't deserve to go out like that.
I'd like if one of the later episodes had Kaufmo's start at the circus slowly followed by reaching his first signs of abstraction.
That would be pretty nice yet depressing.
I have a thing for characters that get teased as part of the main cast then get killed off in the first episode.
Plot Twist: abstracting is the actual way to escape the Circus and the gang will be finding strange clues throughout the realm being left by Kaufmo from the real world.
Well pomni did reach the void when she was at her breaking point
That's not what happened. She went to the void because she reached the end of Caine's unfinished work
The void is just unused computer space, it won't help them escape
What if they install doom?
Why did they do a pov of the abstracted kaufmo then?
I meant to add to the twist that the creature you turn into is just a sentient shell of your avatar while your consciousness returns to your body. All the others who abstracted and were "cellar'd" just went back to their lives but Kaufmo, despite being treated poorly by his fellow players, decides to be the one to stay with the computer and help Pomni and co. escape.
What if Pomni is just on DMT.
Would she do that
We lost her.
Does anyone have Digital Circus x Murder Drones art?
seconding
my personal conspiracy theory is that goose is lying when they say that the concept art they've shared is some of the first stuff they did
the characters are far too close to their final designs, right down to the tiniest details
I'M NOT CRAZY THERE'S SOMETHING UP WITH THIS FUCKING SHOW
If I had to take a guess, the rejected designs eventually became the previous users, so they don't want to spoil their full appearances right away.
How would you write a scene like this for Caine? It seems like it would be hard to give him a monologue that makes his plight relatable without compromising on his unflinching enthusiasm and joy, but "eternally bound to try and entertain the unwilling while not mentally equipped to understand or deliver what they truly want" is such an interesting character struggle that I want to see it explored.
An anon already tried their hand at taking at least AM's hate speech and making it more jovial. Like the word "fun" was on all those wires.
there have been two actually
plus a rewrite of the ending
"I have a mouth, and I can't stop smiling" is pretty metal.
Don't.
Maybe they can use meta narrative to acknowledge all the porn during the inevitable Multiverse episode.
God I can imagine Pomni's voice actress doing a great Caine-like performance.
This but Bubble is the ringmaster.
Bubble is a langolier.
Oh yeah, wow, 'cause of the computer.
Circus members gone missing? Squeaking in the wall? Finding mysterious holes? You, my friend, may have a gloink infestation. Luckily for you there's Pomni's Gloink Control!
This has inspired me to make this obnoxious gif.
Thanks
Caine aggressively getting his point across at you.
i'm glad everyone likes kinger
he's so silly
If I was transported to the Digital Circus, I'd cause Pomni to abstract from a week straight of sexual harassment.
Imagine not making Pomni yandere for you.
do it homosexual
Hey digital-bros, how's it circusing?
Also I think I may have got a mild case of balanitis, it started last night but it's not an extreme case there's no splotches it's just red and sometimes painful. Any tips and do I need to go to the doctor or does it heal naturally as long I clean myself regularly. I'm actually really worried
>balanitis
i know that's a real disease but in the circumstances all i can think of is balan wonderworld
Hear me out any drawfriends here.

>a fucking vtuber is going to make a deep dive stream on this today
>even though it has just a fucking pilot
It's starting to infest the other boards now, shit.
I just watched this after someone made a thread about it on Cinemaphile. This is my first post on Cinemaphile since 2014 and first piece of western animation I've seen since 2017.
Looks like ADC is still spreading then. What did you think of the poilet then?
It was okay I guess. Better than I thought it would be. The biggest issue with the show for me was Jax's voice actor. He's too subdued.
Yeah, Jax strikes me as Yakko Warner inspired, sans any redeeming qualities, so I do feel he need to have a bit more energy in his voice. I'd say the key joke and escalator scene was where he sounded the best.
My god, are we truly going to become the next MLP?
What vtuber?
Lia of the company Phase Connect, at 7:00
Seems to be someone who gets clipped too, so there's a non-zero chance it spreads from her into the greater vtuber sphere, especially since she's part of a company and not an indie.
Looking at her channel she seems like female Nuxtaku.
>95k subscribers
>most popular video is at 60k
So are they huge in another site because otherwise that will not make a lot of difference.
which vtuber and when
so... this is a good thing, right?
Depends, vtubers are anime adjacent, so depending on how well the stream does, we could see ADC get used as stream fodder for a bit (art streams or reactions streams are a thing) which could spill over into /a/ or /jp/ if JP vtubers notice how well it does in the youtube algorithm. Either way the snowball effect we have going right now isn't stopping.

This.
Eyes closed, heavy blush, leaning into the viewer.
YEs YES YES
I want the pomni plushie but holy SHIT $30? That is some heinous price gouging.
Buy a fake one.
Glitch is pretty open on how buying the plushies is a way to donate to fund the project.
So yeah technically when you buy you are also donating like a patreon.
And I'm happy to spend a bit extra just to help the project but $30 for a fucking plushie is outrageous. $20 tops because we all know it cost them $3 to make.
It’s fair price to other plushies, I never fell for the plush meme.
I honestly bought pomni over my waifu of ~20 years. My waifu’s plush been up for years but I never been compelled to get both of hers.
I may need to get them now.
It's a slippery slope, I went from never buying plushies to buying 2 this month
Waifu has two. Regular and demon eyes. I gotta. I still don’t like plushies.
Gather the gloinks.

I want Jax to suffer as much as the rest of the cast
Pomni will beat the shit out of him when she enters her edgy arc.
Well he did get choked out by zooble and slapped by a goink.
Why must Pomni suffer
Alright thread. After seeing this thing all over this board, and its over 20 mil Youtube view count, I decided to give this a watch last night.
I'm slightly angry, because...I don't get it, I don't get why this pilot is getting so much attention. I'm in my late 30s, am I too old to get it? Did it finally happen to me? I just don't get the new trends and what the younger generation is into these days?
Strongest traits: good musical scores, voice acting, character design.
But everything else is sorta lacking for me. A brightly colored place with a seedy, dark undertone? It feels like its all been done before. I also don't get the premise, was Pomni playing a VR game? Literally got sucked into it? None of the characters are really fleshed out, because we don't know their histories before they came to the game(?), we just know them on the surface, and they are the same old stereotypes. Ragatha is the kind compassionate one, the bunny guy is a an asshole, the lady that got taken apart is the token black "I aint got time for this" type. And the ring leader is some crazy cook who can heal people at the snap of his fingers.
The animation is nothing groundbreaking. It's okay. The colors are harsh, I don't like the backgrounds, perhaps its a little too bright and jarring for me with the color choices.
Overall it was just meh for me. Average. Not the worst I've seen, but not the best. I don't get why over ten threads need to be here, and its just a pilot.
>I don't get it, I don't get why this pilot is getting so much attention
Clown girl sexo
That's it
ok something about the thiccness and shading makes this drawing feel so pure sexo
Don't get me wrong, sticc Pomni is also nice
>None of the characters are really fleshed out
Well, it's the first episode, you cannot get literally everything about the characters from the get-go.
They had 25 minutes to establish something.
They pretty much established the setting and most of the characters.
And they established the setting almost in its entirety to set the scene for more character driven stuff in later episodes so we aren't asking 5 trillion questions about how things work.
they should have trimmed the gloinks b-plot and the pomni escape sequence to fit it an extra couple of scenes of pomni interacting with the other characters
give her a bit more to do than just scream and run away
Gloinks are the best part.
Yes, thank you!
>5 trillion questions about how things work.
Still don't know how Pomni got there.
It's mid.
>Still don't know how Pomni got there.
she thinks she wore a VR headset
obviously if popular fan theories are true there are reasons why the true nature of Pomni's arrival has not been explained
>Still don't know how Pomni got there.
She put on a VR headset and was transported. It is literally the first godamn episode they are not going to blow their entire load and tell you everything right off the bat.
I dunno the opening theme established the cast pretty well I think. Favor part was how Raggy knew Pomni totally flaked on her in her hour of need to go through the exit. That awkwardness as they stood next to each other and how guilty Pomni looked was bretty good.
It was her first day in that world, and all that wild stuff happened. It makes no sense that she should feel guilty. It was too much for her. And in the end, she did try to get help anyway. It was really weird why they decided to leave that awkwardness in.
She is not taking it well well raggy so far has been the nicest to her and actually tried to be empathic with poms arrival anxiety. Yeah she tried to help but raggy got beaten so badly she was struggling to hold onto her existence. Pomni did go back and made a decent effort to find Caine but in the end she gave up to go through the exit. Leaving Raggy in a state of near death and pain. Of course she would feel guilty after Caine revealed there is no exit and it was a side project. She left Raggy to die for red herring that would not even work.
She literally met her 15 mins before that happened, how could she care?
Pomni is not a scumbag.
She isn't a sociopath? If you got isekai'd and were freaking the living fuck out and raggy came up and was nice to you and tried to explain the situation as gently as possible. You would have to be a damn inhuman emotionless bastard to not feel guilty leaving her to die, in incredible pain, and knowing that she knew you had abandoned her. Look I can't explain basic human empathy and compassion to you if you don't just get it.
We are taking about a cartoon here.
For all she knows, she thinks its still just a dream or still a game.
Why the fuck would she care about Ragatha if she cant even believe its real? From her viewpoint its much more logical to think that this isnt real. And if that's true, you'd save your own ass first.
>For all she knows, she thinks its still just a dream or still a game
nta but she was clearly lying to herself as a way to cope
That went out of the window the moment she saw herself in the mirror, are people really this dense that need to be told what's happening on screen at all times?
Also Pomni went back to check on her after Kaufo fell to the floor after thinking for a few seconds if she should escape or see if Ragatha was fine, so she did care enough for her.
She cared enough to feel guilt for straight ass leaving her behind. She only went back after she was "safe". She did care somewhat but she still pulled a shitty move going for the door instead of finding caine.
Yeah, which is why she feels guilty at the end when Ragatha is restored.
well hopefully the fallout from pomni abandoning ragatha is something future episodes will deal with (though iirc ragatha isn't actually aware pomni abandoned her)
She doesn't outright say it but she had to drag her broken glitched body to Caine while Pomni was standing there. Also the exit topic was just discussed by Caine and Pomni had stated she had seen it before. Raggy seems like a pretty bright cookie and was likely able to put 2 and 2 together. Not to mention look how fucking guilty Pomni looks and how Raggy won't even look at her and is staring down at the ground. The body language is pretty clear she knows what Pomni did.
Pomni had a reason to escape while she had a chance but it does not change the fact she still abandoned people who tried to help her, people can't just ignore the guilt in this kind of situation even if they have a valid excuse, it's simply a really difficult situation.
She promised she would came back for Ragatha, but decided to escape alone and abandon her when she saw the exit, and Ragatha had to crawl to Caine by herself (while in excruciating pain too) in order to be fixed.
I'm not trying to say Pomni was in the wrong, but I can see why she would feel guilt after that since she did technically break the promise she made to Ragatha.
I ain't readin allat
Give it to me in Fortnite terms
It's a pilot so none of the characters are really going to reveal their entire backstory yet, as for the premise it seems to be Tron but with a horror twist of potentially not being able to ever leave, along with slowly forgetting who you are. After all Pomni literally forgot her name, as for the colors well it is a Circus of course It's going to be bright and colorful. I'd say however the reason people like it is due to how much of a change of pace it is compared to other media so far, it doesn't rely on sex jokes or just straight up saying fuck for an entire 2 minutes, it actually tries, does it work? Eh, sometimes it's a hit and a miss. Although another big factor is that while it's a "horror" it feels like almost a subversion of the mascot horror trope since it doesn't take itself too seriously like those things do, it seems to know what it is and plays with it
>Although another big factor is that while it's a "horror" it feels like almost a subversion of the mascot horror trope since it doesn't take itself too seriously like those things do, it seems to know what it is and plays with it
the key difference is not its level of seriousness but what sort of horror it is
"mascot horror" is all about blood and guts and stuff trying to kill you
digital circus is going for existential horror, which works best without any traditional horror tropes to soften the blow
They fleshed out the characters, we know a lot about most of the cast, there is no way they could give more info in the pilot without ruining the mystery.
>Still don't know how Pomni got there.
And that's good, if we knew how she got there in the very first episode it would be a fuck up.
None of those "problems" are even problems at all.
They are not characters they are just stereotypes, tropes.
they are based on archetypes but so was Tony Stark and Captain America when they were created, they still have their own characters
>I also don't get the premise, was Pomni playing a VR game? Literally got sucked into it?
I think it a lot of your concerns are plot points that are intentionally vague because they're key plot points that are meant to reveal themselves over the course of the show. Pomni seeking to escape from the circus seems like the main point of conflict, and answering how she got there would resolve it too quickly. Same with knowing the cast's history. How and why they became these archetypes seems critical
As for the colors, they're aiming for that type of garish poor lighting that early CGI used to show off 3D models. It's intentional, but yeah, if it's ugly then it's ugly.
>As for the colors, they're aiming for that type of garish poor lighting that early CGI used to show off 3D models. It's intentional, but yeah, if it's ugly then it's ugly.
Reboot did it better.
well yeah because reboot wasn't imitating that style, it WAS that style
>Reboot did it better.
Anon, even as a kid I thought reboot was hideous. I recall liking beast wars more, but I feel like I'm cheating by bringing that up.
Related note, I'm really glad TADC isn't attempting realism with the faces.
Murder Drones pilot is about to be dethroned.
Did not enjoy murder drones nearly as much. Felt like they moved way too fast and did not explain enough for the sheer amount of fucking MYSTERIOUS BACKSTORY they keep pursuing. Also I feel like they are really inconsistent about how impactful a drones death is. Like sometimes it horrifying and scary and hits like a truck. Other times N just fucking shoots a random teenager with no consequences as a gag. It looks like astro glide slathered sexo animation wise but the story is the weakest part imo.
V shot the kid with the gun, and some other camper killed the far left drone with his bow.
Considering how you can't even get the character names right, you may just be a fucking retard and you shouldn't be watching a show with a heavy story if you're not going to put some effort into paying attention to what its telling you.
Disturbing lack of OC in this thread.
POST POMNI'S BARE SOLES!!!!
Feet artists really are hacks.
Just mirrored the legs and feet.
Anon I must say your attention to detail is rather astute
Based
Cringe
>the drill
fuck off retard
why is pomni being paired up with a cordless drill so often in the fanart? I'm sure there wasn't one in the show
featureless canon pomni > sticc pomni > thicc pomni
What if I like all 3 equally?
Canon/Sticc Pomni to hug, thicc Pomni to fug.
this guy gets it
OVERSTIMULATE Pomni
Do i see her feet?
Where's the rest?
see
more like this and I will change my allegiances back to drawfags
thats all i have.
Wish artist did more with mannequin and pomni
I wish someone would draw this
Draw pomni eye closed heavy blushing kissing her manniquen while wiggling/fluttering her toes
There's a little more.

HOT
thosee are nice
Pomni and mannequin is cute
Pomni latching onto your arm while humping it for several hours.
Saw someone earlier complain about a lack of OC so have this
Pomni showed her true colors by abandoning Ragatha. She truly deserves her fate.
Fr, why is the theme song so catchy?
Because gooseworx knows her shit
this remix i found is a fucking JAM
Pretty nice. Sounds like an end credits song when an episode finish.
If it was 4 toes it would be perfect, how I imagine her feet be like. Maybe slightly smaller too but pretty close.
something like this? -->
Yeah about. The overall feet shape in
seem right.
God I like jesters.
>Maybe slightly smaller too but pretty close.
Nono, bigger.
There is something very off putting to me about how fast fetish art pops up for something like this, for a cartoon that gets popular this quick.
I am old enough to remember when fanart for certain cartoons was rare to come by. Now in this modern age, the at comes so fast, so many artists now.
But I also see how in many cases, the characters are simply vessels for the artists fetish. Feet, farting, fat, etc, its not really about the character itself its just another design for the artist to apply their Deviantart level fetishes too.
Well, cartoon was released like 6 years ago. First artist willing to make Pomni's feet are cheap mass producing ones, so i cant complain i will fap to these untill higher quality artists will draw Pomni's feet then i can fap even more to her feet.
I hope LewdSaiga or Lululewd will do her, or maybe some footgod from Pixiv will later draw her.
>Well, cartoon was released like 6 years ago.
I thought it came out a week ago?
oh sry i meant days
I'm drunk and i just post without checking
average foothomosexual
Can you just read over how you sound, feetcoomer? God get a life.
If Caine was a DeviantArt user who inflicted bizarre fetishes on his unwilling guests, that'd be pretty cool. How long would (You) last as the plaything of some sex obsessed freak with powers to alter your body? It would be even better if the guests can feel everything that Caine does to them but he can't feel anything at all, like torturing an AI character: to them it is very real, but to you is just text on a screen.
A type of existential horror that hasn't been explored yet but that would be simultaneously unwatchable and jerk off material.
That could be a fun idea, but no one would made it because being so blatant about one's fetishes turns audiences off. Totally Spies did it well in that regard.
>Totally Spies did it well in that regard.
?
Totally Spies was a conglomerate of fetishes, each episode of the series was practically dedicated to one determinated fetish. You had feederism, furrification, giantess, muscle expansion, transformation, mind control etc. No one ever realized it when the show was airing because they were supposedly wacky cartoony antics, but when you grow up you realize the writers were practically inserting their fetishes in every episode they could.
I say this as someone who got awakened into fat art after the episode where Clover gets obese.
ADC should get a fat episode
Agreed.
I think being over the top with the fetishes is what would be the main selling point. If you're into it then you coom; if you aren't, then you can share the despair, disbelief and horror of the main characters. Or you just laugh and shake your head while you remind yourself that there's people out there who get off to inflation and turning people into tied up bologna.
I hope someone writes a fanfic like this or I'll have to do it.
>and turning people into tied up bologna.
wut
Invader Zim.
Google Rafe15.
Caine doesn't look so insane now, does he.
omg lol.
?
Those are also cringy deviantart autists.
delitized
Foreverily
I hope they go all out with the existential horror shit, like a cute version of I have no mouth and I must scream.
I hope, I wish they don't do a half baked mystery that never gets solved, or a comfort happy ending. I want these cute creatures to suffer, and the audience as well.
gooseworx said this
as well as saying that it won't follow the plot beats of IHNMAIMS
so i think the most likely scenario is a bittersweet ending
How long would you last in Caine's circus with Spongebob as your only partner?
I'd beg Caine to just toss me in the abstraction hole
New SpongeBob could trigger abstraction in minutes.
The circus doesn't look too bad. If I get a body with cartoon physics then I'd probably be fun for a very long while.
I hope they make the ringmaster guy more sadistic and unhinged, he looks like he cares too much about the well being of the characters.
Japanese dub when?
My weeaboo ass is still mad they chose to do Chinese over Japanese. Chinks can't even use Youtube.
I'm surprised they found Chinese voice actors in the first place
Jax was totally a virgin in the real world.
I assume he acts that way because he absolutely hates it being there and copes with being trapped in the circus by being an ass. When I saw him returning to the gloink's hideout entrance and kicking that bowling pin and ripping apart the sign, I thought he's tired and sick of the wacky gimmicks and is as desperate as Pomni, if not more, to get the fuck out.
I forgot to mention, I really liked the ending credits music and character designs in the end credits. Very Japanese like.
especially that panning shot of them looking up at the sky
i wonder if we'll see that location in the actual show
How would you help Pomni get over it Anon?
Provide kisses and hand holding
I will tell her how fucked up real world is and how we were in the edge of war and now we can just chill without hacing to deal with leftists and work and other unpleasant shit.
And then i will call her cute and cuddle with her
Nobody can be sad with an icepop shaped like their head!
I mean I suppose I could try my best but I'm neither qualified nor experienced in these sorts of matters to help.
That said, I suppose if I was a Circus-goer I'd collaborate with Ragatha to help Pomni get acclimated to the Circus without losing her mind.
Ironically enough I think Jax's bullying would be able to keep her focused.
i like to think that jax is smarter than he lets on and is intentionally a bit of a bully, because if everyone made it a happy go lucky hugbox, she would go insane so much faster.
or maybe hes just an asshole like that idk
watch out shes gone feral
This gonna end badly.....
She's going to have a similar mental break to picrel.
Why be upset over something you can't change? Didn't we all just wake up in this world one day and accept everything around us, no questions asked? Why does remembering an "outside" world make it any different? Who spends their life getting upset that they're "trapped" on planet Earth when 99% of us will never actually experience even 10% of what this world has to offer? What, it doesn't matter because it's "not real"? What makes you think the outside world is any different? Even this word is compromised of nothing but information- data suspended in empty space and endlessly processing itself into matter and energy. There is no meaningful difference between the "real world" and the digital world except for who their respective creators are.
Oh yeah, you’re a huge fucking NERD
NEEEEEEERD
>Didn't we all just wake up in this world one day and accept everything around us, no questions asked?
No? Fuck you talking about, you didnt actually question your existence?
>Finally watch it
>The animation is overdone and floppy
Never again I'll fall into normie hype
The eye placement and the fact Jaxs eyes are closed make him look like the character from AHHH Real Monsters.
>the episode where pomni has had enough and beats the shit out of everyone
Reminder that kaufmo wasn’t funny
well we don't know what his jokes were like
the other characters didn't like them but maybe they just had bad taste
Who would tell jokes in the situation they are in anyway.
people often use humour to get them through the darkest of times
?si=1vcD6SxWi0yv58-d
Certainly a classic
My theory is that all characters are AI programmed to believe they were once human, except for Caine, who's a very lonely, strange man having fun at his computer with his VR headset.
plausible.
actually i'd be surprised if AI doesn't play some role in the story eventually
That would be a fun twist ngl.
I thought the same thing.
My theory is that the sun loves the moon and it resents Caine for stealing her affection
So why did Pomni vomit anyway? Was Caine's teleporting too much to handle?
The shock of finding herself in hell.
Sctually the shock of Hell results in dieing 5 times at once from an overload of all 5 of your senses
Probably, although if we want to get schizo with it, she probably vomitted out some of her memories
>Bubble ate Pomnis menories
That, since it’s a compilation of pictures or irl cartoon characters like Gumball Waterson and Bubble from PPG
No?
Well it’s what I saw in an easter egg videos
It's the Metal Mario texture from Mario 64
1:04 of this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H8GG12YCWwg&pp=ygUVRGlnaXRhbCBjaXJjdXMgaGlkZGVu
I don't see it
it's very suspicious that whatever she vomited out looks identical to whatever liquid is in the basement
Funne comic
No one tell her about the helium
HEY POMNI
Don't you do it, don't you even think about destroying what is left of this tiny clown
Too late lmao it’s over
i want to make a music video of pomni repeatedly trying and failing to commit suicide
Cute!
I wanna give her a hug.
But then again, she wouldn't feel it it make her feel better anyway.
>she wouldn't feel it
I'm pretty sure they do feel the sensation of touch but pain is nonexistent unless you're attacked by an abstract.
>still no Pomni voice AI
My disapointment is immesurable and my day is ruined
>Get account on ElevenLabs
>Provide short isolated audio clips of Pomni from the Pilot
>Make AI Pomni say all the dumb things you want
It's literally that easy, anon
If Pomni is 25 why does she look and act like a child? I feel like her intended age was way younger before Goose aged her up as a last minute decision
She got mindbroken.
Given the circumstances I think it makes sense.
That, and being 25 doesn't mean you're mature. There's millions of emotionally stunted "adults" out there.
I wonder if she is a virgin.
She was the town bicycle before going in the circus
If she weren't a virgin but she didn't remember, would you still like her?
Well, you will also act like clueless child once you find out that you get stuck in weird circus land with no way to exit and other people you can talk to are weird beings.
Once you realise there are no leftists, you will actually see that place as heaven.
I'd fly into a panic too if I woke up somewhere strange and couldn't even remember my name.
>Last minute
The tweet she revealed her age in is from January
The pilot could have been almost half-way done in January, you never know
She's a (wo)manchild like everyone in "adult animation" circles
She looks gorgeous, would Caine or Kinger be the priest?
Tough question. I'd like to say Caine would be the priest, but at the same time having Kinger officiate the wedding is an infinitely funnier thought.
I love the combination of the iconic pose and a miserably sad face
I love it
>"Wait a minute...this isn't post watershed!"
Dohna Dohna
This past week taught me that a lot of people here have some deeply seated trauma regarding online fanbases.
You need to let the pain go.
Hello anon~
I love you~
>"What the *@!) why is there a talking moon and why is it horny for me?"
why did caine program in a horny moon if he wants to keep the circus family friendly?
good question
The moon isn't horny, it's love is pure and true
"frisky" specifically means "sexually aroused" anon
Caine didnt program the moon to be horny. Hes just so attractive that no women of good taste can resist his unintentional charms
Caine isn't the creator otherwise he would merely solve everyones problems. He's given great power over the realm but he's basically just as trapped as everyone else.
goose explicitly said bubble was created by caine
He never created them.
I want to beat Pomni bloody then patch her up and shower her with pure love.
Why am I like this?
Based.
I want to destroy her self-esteem and her hopes, see her crying in the most bitter despair, then cuddle with her, shower her with love and praise, and tell her how great she is.
>Why?
Cause it gives me fluffy feels when girls cry and when they smile.
I wish I was Ragatha huffing Pomni's fumes.
Farts are only sexy when they aren't green or brown FACT
Why do they gotta draw them like literal clouds of shit, I will never understand.
That's what they are.
I disagree. All femfarts are hot, whether in a drawing or video. This is also a curse because whenever I find a new show there's barely any brap art. Hell even with Sonic Underground there's not much of that art with Aleena, Sonia, Flora, or any other SU girls despite the fact that characters fart all the time in the show.
How do you get over the sound making you laugh and the smell making you want to vomit?
extreme mental illness
Dunno. I used to hate farts but one day something clicked and now it's a primary fetish of mine. The sound is the biggest thing to get me going and I'm used to bad smells since I was a kid from all the roadkilled skunks we'd drive past.
Cuddles with pomni
Kisses with pomni
post cute pomni
I have always found the smell of shit and farts really hot.
She should be inflating Zooble with her farts
If he was in the Digital Circus he would lose his mind in a day
>The only women in the circus are either cartoon characters without any sexual features or extremely abstracted shapes (all of them without genitals).
>Also you don't have a dick and since everything is family friendly, you won't even be able to talk dirty
Coomer fantasies aside, it does sound extremely lame
How do you draw I can’t fuckin do it
You just keep doing it and eventually youll be able to
read Brent Eviston's The Art and Science of Drawing and Bert Dodson's Keys to Drawing
Step 1. Get obsessed with a character
Step 2. Use said obsession to fuel your desire for artistic progress
It worked for me
Got a free period so I’m going at it on the sketchbook
Buy a cheap tablet and download (pirated) clip studio and start drawing something you’re interested in (ADC for example)
Post it online
Do this everyday while watching some tutorials and learning from other artists you see post and eventually you will start drawing slightly better
Worked for me, I was drawing horrible garbage a year ago that people for some reason liked and now I draw slightly better garbage people still somehow like
that could be YOU anon
Pomni, turn on the lights and stop being so dramatic.
Kinger fucks bros what’s your excuse
I'm not the embodiment of Lust
Ra ra Rapustin Russias greatest love machine
Yes
In episode 7, we discover that Kinger go in and out of the digital circus to collect insects irl.
it's because his insect collection is actually a collection of bugs from the digital circus program
Do you think if the cast ever made it to the real world would they be really small? Like the size of an action figure?
That’s very specific anon
I MEANT WHOLESOMELY WANDERING AROUND A BIG CITY AS AN ADVENTURE
NOT CUMMING ON THEM I SWEAR.
Yeah you'd totally just want them on a BIG adventure you fuckin perv, you wanna cum on them, don't you, you wanna look the tiny Pomni in the eyes as your massive country sized cock blots out the sun and unleash a tidal wave of cum upon her
what mask are you wearing right now?
Fuck forgot to remove my hame, yoysvsue nothing you cuntz
what
G-gangle, dont be so lewd, TADC is for all ages remember...
Do you think Caine took away her internet privileges?
easy there gangle
Sure anon, whatever you say
Haha imagine putting Pomni in a jar for safekeeping
Perhaps
I am not cool, handsome and smart like kinger
How can anyone compete with kinger?
for me it's the funny russian blue shark girl who is really strong
Wrong thread?
No? What didn't you like the shot where nika bent down and sucked jax off?
That was only in the Russian dub
How would he fair in the Digital Circus?
Goes insane in 5 minutes
What makes you say that, it's better conditions than what he's certainly used to, besides he's got a few babes just asking for it
Hey I answered the damn question I don’t owe you an explanation
Fair point, EVEN IF YOUR ANSWER SUCKS
COOLVILE
can anyone else with a tumblr account confirm that gooseworx has closed their askbox to everyone?
>Beep beep boop
Yeah I checked it's closed
Hopefully it stays that way, Tumblr people ask weird things
what a delightfully sad creature
now dunk it in mcdonald sauce
The Indonesian cooked.
Suckable thighs
Those are some sexy thighs.
Does Kaufmo have a voice actor?
Yeah Jack Black
He'll use voice splicing of Andy Kaufman
Me and my wife
needs a tie and ? face
Is TADC Hell?
What's the origin of this??
i give a hint
pizza
I think it was the painting episode.
If you had a tiny Jax, would you torture him?
Is it a clone or a tiny version of Jax because the clone didn’t do anything
I would feed him
Rarely seen so many threads of a show go to bump limit
othershowbros...
It's because this show is more addicting than crack.
thats just the autism you have anon
I mean true. Really true, this show is addicting autism slop, but hey, it's stimulating autism slop.
not him but usually it takes a week or 2 or 3 for memes to pop in general public.
But this show has hit several levels and friend groups already. Hazbin took months.
The music is pretty catchy.
popular show gets porn??? whoa stop the presses
It's been less than 2 weeks.
This is a substantial pace of porn generation, even taking popularity into account.
the trailer was out before
I can confirm that well over 90% of all the porn existed post pilot
I've been checking since the first day, I think it was less than a 100 or just about
I want to post my OC but I just realized I accidentally copied the design of Maxx from The Maxx.
that's fine I think we've all made an accidental Maxx-like OC design at some point in our lives, lord knows I have
>copied the design of Maxx
Its a good design so no wonder your subconcious copied it. In any case, dont let that stop you from having fun
>the maxx
based
for a sec the thumbnail made me think of the gif of the guy taking a shit but with maxx
put a jester hat on him.
these OCs are getting out of hand. Since there are 6 characters in the cast (not including Caine and bubble), should the first 6 OCs made here be considered as the classics or something like that?
>it's still up
its dead jim
