Let it break 100 million first, which it'll most likely do in the next couple hours probably.
I can't believe ADC is actually going to become one of the most viewed animation pilots on Youtube.
here's my autistic rant on why TADC is neither surreal nor horror, please give comments on how to improve it:
On why TADC is not really surreal, why it's not "kids media with a dark twist", and why it isn't horror in the conventional sense
(a.k.a. stop comparing it to DHMIS/ENA/FNAF/etc. you idiots)
I would like to address two major misconceptions that I often see people make about The Amazing Digital Circus. The first is that it is "surreal". The second is that it is horror, especially that the idea that it belongs to the "warped kids media" genre of horror.
I shall first explain why it is not surreal. I have a great deal I could write on the topic of surreal art, especially on how people falsely conflate it with surreal*ist* art. But that is not a relevant topic - no one would call TADC surrealist! - so I can keep my discussion limited to why it is not surreal.
"Surreal" is generally defined as a synonym for "dreamlike". This allows us to neatly separate fiction with merely surface-level surreal aesthetics from fiction that contains genuinely dreamlike plots and stories (such as what is often incorrectly labelled surrealist cinema). The core aspect of such dreamlike stories is the presence of events that are left unexplained. They violate the logic of our world and do not operate on defined rules in the story's universe. (This is somewhat difficult to define, but I'm sure people will understand what I'm talking about and how it is different from, say, not revealing the identity of the killer in a mystery story). Often characters in surreal fiction will act as though the events are not surreal, and not ask the questions the viewer would ask. What characters in surreal fiction think and know is often a complete mystery to the viewer. A good yardstick for defining surreal fiction is whether or not events happen that can only be explained by bringing in out-of-universe topics such as the author's intent or allegorical elements.
From this description it should be clear that TADC is not surreal. Every event that happens occurs for logical reasons that are explained in the story. Characters ask the questions that real people would ask and get actual answers in return. We know what the characters are thinking, what they know about their world, and what their intentions are. There is nothing dreamlike about it, despite Pomni's attempts to convince herself that there is. In fact, it does not even have skin-deep surreal aesthetics - the "surreal" visuals of the Circus are explained by its in-universe as a computer game from the era where such aesthetics were common.
Finally, Gooseworx herself has directly stated that TADC is "character-driven and straightforward" compared to the "abstract and surreal" Pink City. Indeed if you look at her past works you'll find that she has written many non-surreal stories, so there's no reason to expect TADC to be one even if you ignore her statement that it isn't.
(Some people might object and point out that Glitch's website calls TADC a "surreal dark animated comedy", but that same page also says that it's "like Toy Story but everyone is a jerk", while Goose has directly stated that *not* everyone in the Circus is a jerk. Also, the Youtube description does not call the show surreal.)
Now I shall move on to the much greater misconception about TADC: that it is or is meant to be horror. Often this statement is allied with the misconception that TADC is or can be compared to the "warped kids media" genre of horror (sometimes referred to as "mascot horror").
To begin with, what is horror? Wikipedia defines "horror" as "a genre of fiction that is intended to disturb, frighten or scare". Personally I feel this is somewhat vague and would instead label horror as that fiction which is intended to create *fear*. Horror is *scary*. Fear is what separates horror from other genres. A great deal of fiction intends to create negative emotions in its audience - but only horror focuses on fear.
Is TADC scary? Leaving aside the premise of people being trapped forever (plenty of fiction that no one would call horror is about people being trapped) I would say definitely not. Were you scared by Abstracted Kaufmo? I would guess that you almost certainly weren't. He's not portrayed in the way that a horror movie would portray a monster. He's portrayed like a rampaging animal in an adventure movie. The emphasis is more on the tragedy of him essentially committing suicide than the threat he poses to the characters. Gore and disturbing imagery are pretty much entirely absent from the show - the only thing you could even slightly label as "disturbing" are the Abstracted, and as we've established they're not scary. Isolation is another common aspect of horror, and it's also absent from TADC - the whole show is about the characters interacting with each other.
Something that was actually trying to be horror wouldn't have had Ragatha stay sane and coherent when she glitched out, nor would it have all the forms Ragatha glitches into be completely non-scary and often comedic. It wouldn't have the sole jumpscare be a joke about surprising someone in the bath. It would have had done something creepy with Caine glitching out, and would almost certainly have made him far more malicious. It wouldn't have made the Void be light blues remisicent of the ocean or sky.
Now I'm sure someone will say "but what about psychological horror?", and the fact of the matter is that if all you have is existential dread, it doesn't matter how crushing or existentially terrifying that existential dread is, you're not horror. Soma is famously considered by many people not to be horror, and Soma goes full-in on existential dread.
Also Gooseworx has directly stated that TADC is not horror, which should be enough for everybody: https://twitter.com/GooseworxMusic/status/1722240970660728843
This is also why TADC doesn't belong to the "warped kids media" genre it's sometimes placed in, but there are more reasons than just not being horror why it doesn't belong. The core aspect of the "warped kids media" genre is the imitation of not just the aesthetics but also the structure and themes of children's media, which are slowly peeled away to reveal the horror beneath. TADC does not imitate the structure or themes of children's media for a second. It reveals the truth in the first few minutes and the rest of the pilot is all about how Pomni reacts to that truth. The rest of the cast have all known the truth since long before the episode starts, which is something "warped kids media" never does - either it's one and done, or it's like DHMIS and presses the reset button every episode to ensure the cast keep acting like they're in a kids show.
So that's why TADC's Youtube description describing its genre as "psychological dark comedy" is correct, and people describing its genre as "surreal", "horror", or "warped kids media" are wrong. I believe that thinking the latter is the case leads both to incorrect judgements of the show's quality and to focusing on the wrong aspects of the show.

IMO ADC is a black comedy with existential horror themes with the aesthetic of a Kid Pix GUI. Like honestly no wonder it sparked peoples' hearts so violently.

I get why people might think surreal, but I agree with you. I think "hyperreal" is a bit closer to the ballpark than "surreal." Maybe there's an even better term.

The design of the abstraction is more horrifying than just a rampaging animal or fantasy beast, but the portrayal is indeed not quite like a horror monster. Also, you could argue that there is isolation in that the cast is separated from the real world, trapped in a small group in some limbo, though most of the cast doesn't seem bothered by it (granted, we'll see just how true that is considering how evidently it's wearing on Ragatha beneath it all).
Now I'm sure someone will say "but what about psychological horror?", and the fact of the matter is that if all you have is existential dread, it doesn't matter how crushing or existentially terrifying that existential dread is, you're not horror.

>TADC does not imitate the structure or themes of children's media for a second.
I have to nitpick: it does imitate it during the theme song, after which it indeed drops the schtick immediately upon the arrival of someone who isn't in the swing of things.
Otherwise, yeah, I'd agree, and this is a good write-up. Despite some qualms with its execution, I really liked the idea of Midsommar, but even if it had been as good at what it did as I had hoped, it wouldn't be "horror" necessarily; it'd be proximate with just how unsettling and off-kilter the abrasive colors and shapes were, but still better described as a "thriller." "Psychological dark comedy" sounds about right, maaaybe decently described as "thriller" depending on how hard it winds up leaning on the off-kilterness of the visuals and premise.
>make something everyone likes >obviously extremely talented >no fuck you being a tranny is the only thing about you that matters
Why are you people so fucking obsessed. We should deport you all to Iran, you'd fit in better.
I would be a fucking wreck if I was goose’s shoes. The paradoxical nature of wanting to create something that reaches a lot people but the fear of being well known and way more people being aware of your existence than there ever realistically should be. I would be namesearching myself for hours, trying to maximize out what people do and don’t like to please everyone and still feeling like i’m pleasing no one at all.
They already had a viral success in Little Runmo but yeah I expect that Goose did not expect the ADC pilot to go this nuts. Thankfully they've already said that the story is completely laid out with 8 episodes ready to go so now it all just comes down to animating and voicing it all.
Cant have stage fright without a stage >internet fame is worse because retards will try to set you on fire just cause
Havent seen anyone hate any reason to hate her enough to do anything of the like. Shartyfags tried to raid GlitchX sure, but they didnt manage to do jack and were probably just a couple underage angst teens.
This has probably been asked before but what Cinemaphile boards would each of the cast use if they had access? Let's start with an easy one, Gangle goes to /a/
I know the characters have absolutely no need to shower or bath, and that they can't take their clothes off. But do you think they miss it? Would they ask Caine do let them bath/shower/swim?
We do see one of the mannequins taking a bath in the pilot, after all
I'd say it's just a case of experiencing any kind of real stimuli at all. Being able to remove clothes, take a bath/shower, actually taste food or go to real sleep. Probably the main reason why so many abstract.
I don't think it's that Zooble doesn't like adventures, she doesn't like adventures that just take place in the tent without going outside. Too boring.
zooble's complaint was that it was "in house", she does do the adventures but so long as they're actually interesting and they're not confined to the circus tent

Good take! I figured as much with Caine, but I failed to realize that Jax is the only character to cover up anxiety with jokes
Ragatha and Gangle cover it up with fake positivity, but not really with humor. So Goose doesn't even have to be a jerk to relate to Jax in that way. They're both jokesters

The Portuguese one's nice, they had a rework later on to fix some stuff like the god awful old Intro and a few lines, tho the new intro still doesn't rhyme which is a bummer.
I like all the voices aside from Ragatha, they got the perfect person to voice Caine, dare I'd say I like it better than the Original voice in that department.

Sounds exactly like Jax's VA crying like a pussy bitch when someone used an AI generated voice of the character to voice a meme.

Hey Cinemaphilefags, I'm like tangentially keeping aware of this series, but for some reason my niece loves it and wants a pomni plush for Christmas.
Gonna put a preorder in for glitch, but that's late December. Anyone know other cute merch of Pomni I could buy for her?
The amazon ones are just blatant scams.
Is selling merch the dumbest way to get more money for more episodes? You'll have 1 million third worlders doing the same thing selling their knockoffs at a fraction of the price. Why not just start a kickstarter for more episodes?
Am I granted legal rights over the image and likeness of my digital self? Does this involve me getting a stable and consistent form of passive income in any way shape or form?
That really depends on if I have some way of contacting Digi-Me. If I do, then we will work together from both ends to overthrow Caine and establish a perfect digital world, for his enjoyment and for my profit.
>Vivzie fires Michael Kovach >Hires celebrities to replace the original cast >Digital Circus ends up becoming bigger than Hazbin with Kovach starring as one of the most popular character
heh
yeah maybe
i mean Kovach and Bosco were doing free promos on youtube livestreams for Hazbin Hotel which is what drew me into the 'community' in the first place
and then all the VAs were just dropped, and the livestreams stopped happening, & a big part of the wholesomeness and authenticity was gone
By this logic the FNAF movie is also a psyop because only 2 people I know IRL even know what FNAF is
190k comments and 100M views seems about right as well, Not to mention that every reactor and cloutchaser talking about TADC just boosts it even more in the algorithm
I haven't met anyone IRL that has seen this.
Is this whole thing a giant psyop?
Most people I know are normies who just watch football etc. Anytime I ask around online in certain games or disc everyone else has at least heard of it, I cringed when my sister said I heard of it form tiktok
Still one more day left in the month, the rate of views per day continuing puts it roughly at 119,000,000 views by the end of the month.
Looks like the rate of views accruing has been increasing too, so the current views/month is not the average rate for the actual previous calendar month.
do people on Cinemaphile actually like this because it's good or because it's beating out something you don't like? every thread I see has been about Hazbin hotel or some shit
Digital Circus sisters.. how did you first find out about Digital Circus? I'll go first. >In random Cinemaphile thread >See 3 pictures of Pomni >Figure its the new zoomer mascot horror >Look it up on youtube >Oh wow 35 Million views >5 minutes in and I'm already impressed >Go down the rabbit hole
Past few weeks have been like 2012 with mlp, unreal.
saw a random post about it on twitter that barely stuck in my memory, then it wound up on my youtube recommended page with millions of views so i decided to give it a shot. this also caused me to watch MD a few days later and like it even more, but I still think both are excellent shows that I'm looking forawrd to more of
Twitter “For you” tab kept pushing me pictures of Pomni. I assumed it was someone’s donut steel (technically true) for a week, then I realized she was from a YT animation so I watched it.
I was on the ground floor back when I found out it was Gooseworx's next big project, especially that it was also going to be a full length 3DCG cartoon.
That it went as viral as it did honestly surprised me. Good on Goose and Glitch, though it's obvious Goose is kinda flighty over the massive adoration.
Someone posted cute cartoon jester on Cinemaphile. Then I googled her and watched it. I was expecting another waifu bait with repulsive israeli propaganda all over it but turns out it was genuinely good show. I thought shit like this will never happen again but here we are.
>I follow tons of artist on twitter >A couple of days after the pilot is uploaded many of them start posting Pomni fanart >Design immediately catches my attention, really cute >look up where she's from
Can't believe it's already been almost a month
The good old-fashioned way: Glitch's day one announcement. Of course, them teasing the Gooseworx collab in advance was what led me to discover Gooseworx.
I still look back on that first teaser, thinking how silly it was to wonder if it'd even reach Murder Drones levels of popularity.
>stay off the internet for a week to dodge Mario Wonder spoilers >miss the pilot's release >see some offtopic threads on Cinemaphile about a cute jester, but think nothing of it >later check Cinemaphile and it seems they're obsessed with the jester's show >watch the pilot (20M views at the time) and understand why it got so popular
I was thinking the game was longer and had more content than it actually did. I'm not afraid to admit it was a fucking terrible idea, but I didn't know until it was too late.
My parents brought home a shitty spare computer when I was like 15 and I spent hours looking up random shit about banjo tooie until I found her Mr. Patch boss remix. Guess it fits that now her most popular works is circus themed when one of her earliest videos was circus music.
I first learned of the show from watching the trailer to the show like 6-8 months before it came out. I watched it like 3 days after the pilot premiered.
I haven't met anyone IRL that has seen this.
Is this whole thing a giant psyop?
You know this shit's good when we've gotten to the point that certain anons think that it's gotten this many views because of like a psyop or something.
I've heard things here and there about Glitch getting goberment bucks from Australia to produce. What is that all about? Does Australia have some sort of "lets prove to the world we can be cool sometimes" fund?
Australia has a government grant system called Screen Australia which gives Australian media companies money to fund their projects. IIRC Glitch got some cash from it to produce Meta Runner back in the day. Also IIRC ADC did not get a grant.
It’s was mainly grants from Screen Australia (and to a lesser extent, Epic Games)
And as far as I can tell, the only shows Screen Australia have had a direct hand in are the ones created by Kevin and Luke (Meta Runner and Sunset Paradise)
I don’t know the specifics of Aussie government, but it’s possible there’s an effort to push “cultural exports”/make Aussie media that makes people more aware of Australia and Australians in general. Thailand does that with their Department of Export Promotion though they focus on food.
Many countries offer direct support (not just tax incentives) for cultural productions on their territory/using their people.
Australia is one of them, organizing it all through "Screen Australia."
https://www.screenaustralia.gov.au/funding-and-support >Screen Australia offers funding to support the development, production and marketing of Australian screen content, as well as for the development of Australian talent and screen production businesses.
Though Glitch doesn't seem to have gotten anything from them since Meta Runner.
They got it for Sunset Paradise, and they gave special thanks to Screen Australia for episodes 2 and 3 of Murder Drones (whatever that was for), but that's about it.
Pretty much every goberment throwing money at animators, filmmakers or game developers to "promote arts" or whatever the fuck. Usually money gets stolen and schlock is made.
yeah bro im sure they were going to keep it a pilot only unless it reached 100M
they just wanted to let goose make one thing and then never again until the views changed their minds
They were already planning on it, this is just a semi-announcement.
During the GlitchX stream, they said. >[TADC has] been doing crazy and the question we get is "is there going to be a full season? How can you guys not do a full season with how well it's done?" >Well the answer to that is, we are trying to really, really, focus on how big a season is going to be, there's things like funding, there's accounting, there's a lot of legal stuff, there's like assembling the team, making sure we just have resources and everything in place before we can actually confirm anything >so just please be patient with us while we're trying to sort all that stuff out >you'll definitely have some more Digital Circus news in the coming months
Well, we know it's planned to be a single 8-episode season, with more seasons depending on whether Goose feels there's more of a story to tell, so I wonder what they mean by "how big". Maybe the scope of the animation itself?
nta but don't conflate retarded bait with a reasonable desire to keep /misc/tards quiet
Ranting about the israelites is homosexual shit and you all know it
>hat place is cancer and is the reason Cinemaphile was ruined
though the influx of people is usually bad for the board culture, the truth is /misc/ (or at least the portion of it that isn't slide/shill threads by bots) is one of the few boards that actually keeps in high the spirit of discussion of old Cinemaphile
Damn, I don't remember the last time we had a female lead that wasn't a girlboss yaaas kween. Having a character that triggers your protective instincts is totally unfair.
Glitch has been good with their female leads. They're usually a healthy mix of heroines who are either a.) vulnerable but still engaging, or b.) competent but not lacking weakness.
If non-digital Pomni was physically a guy, digital Pomni would literally be transexual. As in currently occupying a female body having formerly occupied a male body.
Jax is going to drive someone to abstraction within the next four episodes; and I can't wait to see Tumblr turn on him for 'going too far' once he does.
Original lobsteranon here, https://p3d.in/ryHOb
Lobster is a model from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, used during the Treacherous Swine cutscene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmb0PURABps
At first I was making edits that didn't make the lobster too noticable for two reasons:
1. When they saw it in the picture, they would rewatch the show in confusion to see if the lobster was actually part of the show
2. If people saved the image and shared it, it would cause general confusion as to why a lobster is in the picture
After reason #1 didn't work because obviously it looks so fucking out-of-place, the 2nd one took hold and it became a funny in-joke and for a thread or two, people were genuinely searching stills from the show to see if a lobster was added. Now it's become a funny Cinemaphile-exclusive meme about the show.
I'm 30 and don't really give a fuck anymore. It's not like I'm sperging out about it IRL. There is worse things that people do in private. Fucking Epstein island exist and I'm supposed to feel bad about watching animated show and liking it. Doesn't even feels like kids cartoon to me.
It probably just makes anon weary because of the colorful 90s kids activity center aesthetic even though it's literally just an aesthetic. Like colorful environments make anon feel too old for things.
>The creator only confirmed the ages so that people can safely draw porn of them.

There's a lot of artists scared to draw characters that are underaged. Give them assurance and you get 10x the artists drawing porn of your characters. It's basically free advertisement.
It's retarded that people freak out about fictional underaged characters. It's even more retarded when you're not drawing those underaged characters directly, but their digital avatars. But them's the stupid rules.
>From the wiki, confirmed by the creators.
Which is to say, there was a flippant post about it on tumblr. Take that as you will, but it's not actually canonical information.
https://www.tumblr.com/gooseworx/731374305000275968/ik-you-said-some-of-the-characters-ages-but-can-we
It's the same song, just with different lyrics. The different lyrics is narrating over what Pomni's doing, which is a bit weird if it's the characters doing a theme song bit out of boredom.
i disagree. it's already hard to do japanese dubs for western animations because the timings that feel 'right' for each genre feels so different. This dub couldnt change the video. The voices felt very uninspired. There weren't even any honorifics used for the names.
I swear this month felt like an entire year due to this fucking pilot
Well, obviously not, but that doesn't matter because 100mil in one month is fucking insane

Goddamnit
I want to know what convinced Ashley to joint he voice cast. I thought she was an animator, not an actor.
The answer is, she's married to Jax's voice actor.
i wish people weren't so basic so we'd get more of jax x zooble
I know they're a couple, but are they actually married now?
The rabbit fears the Zooble.
Let it break 100 million first, which it'll most likely do in the next couple hours probably.
I can't believe ADC is actually going to become one of the most viewed animation pilots on Youtube.
here's my autistic rant on why TADC is neither surreal nor horror, please give comments on how to improve it:
On why TADC is not really surreal, why it's not "kids media with a dark twist", and why it isn't horror in the conventional sense
(a.k.a. stop comparing it to DHMIS/ENA/FNAF/etc. you idiots)
I would like to address two major misconceptions that I often see people make about The Amazing Digital Circus. The first is that it is "surreal". The second is that it is horror, especially that the idea that it belongs to the "warped kids media" genre of horror.
I shall first explain why it is not surreal. I have a great deal I could write on the topic of surreal art, especially on how people falsely conflate it with surreal*ist* art. But that is not a relevant topic - no one would call TADC surrealist! - so I can keep my discussion limited to why it is not surreal.
"Surreal" is generally defined as a synonym for "dreamlike". This allows us to neatly separate fiction with merely surface-level surreal aesthetics from fiction that contains genuinely dreamlike plots and stories (such as what is often incorrectly labelled surrealist cinema). The core aspect of such dreamlike stories is the presence of events that are left unexplained. They violate the logic of our world and do not operate on defined rules in the story's universe. (This is somewhat difficult to define, but I'm sure people will understand what I'm talking about and how it is different from, say, not revealing the identity of the killer in a mystery story). Often characters in surreal fiction will act as though the events are not surreal, and not ask the questions the viewer would ask. What characters in surreal fiction think and know is often a complete mystery to the viewer. A good yardstick for defining surreal fiction is whether or not events happen that can only be explained by bringing in out-of-universe topics such as the author's intent or allegorical elements.
(1/4)
From this description it should be clear that TADC is not surreal. Every event that happens occurs for logical reasons that are explained in the story. Characters ask the questions that real people would ask and get actual answers in return. We know what the characters are thinking, what they know about their world, and what their intentions are. There is nothing dreamlike about it, despite Pomni's attempts to convince herself that there is. In fact, it does not even have skin-deep surreal aesthetics - the "surreal" visuals of the Circus are explained by its in-universe as a computer game from the era where such aesthetics were common.
Finally, Gooseworx herself has directly stated that TADC is "character-driven and straightforward" compared to the "abstract and surreal" Pink City. Indeed if you look at her past works you'll find that she has written many non-surreal stories, so there's no reason to expect TADC to be one even if you ignore her statement that it isn't.
(Some people might object and point out that Glitch's website calls TADC a "surreal dark animated comedy", but that same page also says that it's "like Toy Story but everyone is a jerk", while Goose has directly stated that *not* everyone in the Circus is a jerk. Also, the Youtube description does not call the show surreal.)
Now I shall move on to the much greater misconception about TADC: that it is or is meant to be horror. Often this statement is allied with the misconception that TADC is or can be compared to the "warped kids media" genre of horror (sometimes referred to as "mascot horror").
(2/4)
To begin with, what is horror? Wikipedia defines "horror" as "a genre of fiction that is intended to disturb, frighten or scare". Personally I feel this is somewhat vague and would instead label horror as that fiction which is intended to create *fear*. Horror is *scary*. Fear is what separates horror from other genres. A great deal of fiction intends to create negative emotions in its audience - but only horror focuses on fear.
Is TADC scary? Leaving aside the premise of people being trapped forever (plenty of fiction that no one would call horror is about people being trapped) I would say definitely not. Were you scared by Abstracted Kaufmo? I would guess that you almost certainly weren't. He's not portrayed in the way that a horror movie would portray a monster. He's portrayed like a rampaging animal in an adventure movie. The emphasis is more on the tragedy of him essentially committing suicide than the threat he poses to the characters. Gore and disturbing imagery are pretty much entirely absent from the show - the only thing you could even slightly label as "disturbing" are the Abstracted, and as we've established they're not scary. Isolation is another common aspect of horror, and it's also absent from TADC - the whole show is about the characters interacting with each other.
Something that was actually trying to be horror wouldn't have had Ragatha stay sane and coherent when she glitched out, nor would it have all the forms Ragatha glitches into be completely non-scary and often comedic. It wouldn't have the sole jumpscare be a joke about surprising someone in the bath. It would have had done something creepy with Caine glitching out, and would almost certainly have made him far more malicious. It wouldn't have made the Void be light blues remisicent of the ocean or sky.
(3/4)
Now I'm sure someone will say "but what about psychological horror?", and the fact of the matter is that if all you have is existential dread, it doesn't matter how crushing or existentially terrifying that existential dread is, you're not horror. Soma is famously considered by many people not to be horror, and Soma goes full-in on existential dread.
Also Gooseworx has directly stated that TADC is not horror, which should be enough for everybody: https://twitter.com/GooseworxMusic/status/1722240970660728843
This is also why TADC doesn't belong to the "warped kids media" genre it's sometimes placed in, but there are more reasons than just not being horror why it doesn't belong. The core aspect of the "warped kids media" genre is the imitation of not just the aesthetics but also the structure and themes of children's media, which are slowly peeled away to reveal the horror beneath. TADC does not imitate the structure or themes of children's media for a second. It reveals the truth in the first few minutes and the rest of the pilot is all about how Pomni reacts to that truth. The rest of the cast have all known the truth since long before the episode starts, which is something "warped kids media" never does - either it's one and done, or it's like DHMIS and presses the reset button every episode to ensure the cast keep acting like they're in a kids show.
So that's why TADC's Youtube description describing its genre as "psychological dark comedy" is correct, and people describing its genre as "surreal", "horror", or "warped kids media" are wrong. I believe that thinking the latter is the case leads both to incorrect judgements of the show's quality and to focusing on the wrong aspects of the show.

>Surreal Dark Comedy
Oh yeah, that really is pretty much tadc in a nutshell. I am corrected, and my ignorance relieved.
(You) made a good write up: coherent, and got the points across with sources to back them.
>largest comment possible
>clearly copy-pasted since no one can write that fast.
So that's spamming/flooding that is against the rules right?
Pre-writing a long comment is not against the rules.
It is if there is the clear intent of flooding the thread, Cinemaphile mods are by the rules not bound by techninalities and shall judge based on what it looks like
How exactly does a four-post length comment show "clear intent of flooding the thread"?
taking the most space possible with a clear shitpost to make discussion harder
It was an entirely genuine post.
It's four posts, get that dick out of your ass.
He does it for free
IMO ADC is a black comedy with existential horror themes with the aesthetic of a Kid Pix GUI. Like honestly no wonder it sparked peoples' hearts so violently.
cute troangle
But Digital Circus wasn't made to be horror. People got that idea on their own.
you are teling it that to someone who made a matpat level of essay of a 20 min pilot
i know it wasn't made to be horror
that was the point of my essay
>goes back and checks full thread
I farted while scrolling past these. Just thought you should know.
I get why people might think surreal, but I agree with you. I think "hyperreal" is a bit closer to the ballpark than "surreal." Maybe there's an even better term.
The design of the abstraction is more horrifying than just a rampaging animal or fantasy beast, but the portrayal is indeed not quite like a horror monster. Also, you could argue that there is isolation in that the cast is separated from the real world, trapped in a small group in some limbo, though most of the cast doesn't seem bothered by it (granted, we'll see just how true that is considering how evidently it's wearing on Ragatha beneath it all).
>TADC does not imitate the structure or themes of children's media for a second.
I have to nitpick: it does imitate it during the theme song, after which it indeed drops the schtick immediately upon the arrival of someone who isn't in the swing of things.
Otherwise, yeah, I'd agree, and this is a good write-up. Despite some qualms with its execution, I really liked the idea of Midsommar, but even if it had been as good at what it did as I had hoped, it wouldn't be "horror" necessarily; it'd be proximate with just how unsettling and off-kilter the abrasive colors and shapes were, but still better described as a "thriller." "Psychological dark comedy" sounds about right, maaaybe decently described as "thriller" depending on how hard it winds up leaning on the off-kilterness of the visuals and premise.

I would be a fucking wreck if I was goose’s shoes. The paradoxical nature of wanting to create something that reaches a lot people but the fear of being well known and way more people being aware of your existence than there ever realistically should be. I would be namesearching myself for hours, trying to maximize out what people do and don’t like to please everyone and still feeling like i’m pleasing no one at all.
She basically is a wreck, they had to put Kovach with her as backup the other day to even keep the interview going.
They already had a viral success in Little Runmo but yeah I expect that Goose did not expect the ADC pilot to go this nuts. Thankfully they've already said that the story is completely laid out with 8 episodes ready to go so now it all just comes down to animating and voicing it all.
>the fear of being well known
who the fuck fears that
Just two days a group of deranged trolls sent death threats to Goose's parents.
You ever heard of stage fright you homosexual? If anything internet fame is worse because retards will try to set you on fire just cause

This has probably been asked before but what Cinemaphile boards would each of the cast use if they had access? Let's start with an easy one, Gangle goes to /a/
Kinger is easily /x/
Ragatha woud be /soc/ and /adv/ mixed together
Jax is /b/
Kinger would also go to Cinemaphile for the insect threads where he'd post about his current collection.

What about Pomni?
I could see Pomni going on Cinemaphile or /adv/.
Pomni is Cinemaphile, Ragatha is Cinemaphile, Jax is Cinemaphile, Kinger is /tg/, Zooble is /b/
Ragatha is absolutely a fan of Cinemaphile and Cinemaphile
I feel like Ragatha would go to /wsr/ to try and help people with stuff
gangle is on /a/ and maybe /LULZ/
zooble is on a mix of Cinemaphile and Cinemaphile trying to figure out her next great combination of pieces
Everyone is /tttt/

That's right little buddy.
we know he likes both Cinemaphile and /misc/ because the way he treats women
Yeah
I don't get Pomni's reaction...but that's absolutely how she would react to it.
she doesn't have a middle finger since she only has 4 fingers
She has three fingers and a thumb. Did you not see how one is clearly in the middle there?
I don't get characterizations like these. Pomni is panicked, not depressed. Gangle's the one that would suddenly burst into tears
I think it's just supposed to be funny

does TADC support Trans Rights?
Yes. In fact, we should have a total Goose dictatorship.
Only Jax being feminized against his will.
Of course
Zooble and abstractions are a proof that every abomination is represented on the show
NO
Gonna make a roblox game about TADC and rake in the zoomie bucks.
You better make the morphs 3d models and not fucking floating PNGS.
You’re too late there are 8 billion of those already
Too late on that bit, theres one already.
i love her
I know the characters have absolutely no need to shower or bath, and that they can't take their clothes off. But do you think they miss it? Would they ask Caine do let them bath/shower/swim?
We do see one of the mannequins taking a bath in the pilot, after all
I'd say it's just a case of experiencing any kind of real stimuli at all. Being able to remove clothes, take a bath/shower, actually taste food or go to real sleep. Probably the main reason why so many abstract.
I hope the running gag is Zooble never wanting to partake in the adventures, but always ends up the one fucked by it.
Poor Zoobs, but that would be really funny
I don't think it's that Zooble doesn't like adventures, she doesn't like adventures that just take place in the tent without going outside. Too boring.
zooble's complaint was that it was "in house", she does do the adventures but so long as they're actually interesting and they're not confined to the circus tent
i want to see zooble having fun
In other news, Glitch just hit 5 million subs
I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets more subs than the SMG4 channel (currently at 7.46M) eventually
And we have EVIL POMNI
The air crackles with freedom.
Opposite Pomni
we undertale now
Yeah, if we're getting AU art like this already then yeah the ADC community is turning into the Undertale/Deltarune one.
I can't wait until 90% of fanart is just Jax and AU Jax and the other characters are basically irrelevant.

Opposite Gangle would just be Gangle wearing her comedy mask.

Who do you think is Goose's favorite character?
We already know it's Jax.
We already know its jax
She was asked on Tumblr and she said Jax. Her Jax folder is overflowing.
Gooseworx has said Jax is the sexiest in their opinion (also Jax was written to be the sexiest according to them)
Wait, is that true?
The designated husbando.
Interesting, thanks
jax is also goose "exorcising their demons"
Goose was a bully in school confirmed
Maybe it's more like, being attracted to dudes like Jax is Goose's character flaw? I'm not sure
jax is covering up anxiety with being a jokester
caine is inability to connect with others on an emotional level
Good take! I figured as much with Caine, but I failed to realize that Jax is the only character to cover up anxiety with jokes
Ragatha and Gangle cover it up with fake positivity, but not really with humor. So Goose doesn't even have to be a jerk to relate to Jax in that way. They're both jokesters
Anon’s got the keys to Goose’s mind
>caine is inability to connect with others on an emotional level
Unfortunately relatable
>exorcises one’s demons
>immediately puts them in a maid dress
next level maneuver
Pomni with big honkers.

Goose says he wants to see more dapper Jax art
The Portuguese one's nice, they had a rework later on to fix some stuff like the god awful old Intro and a few lines, tho the new intro still doesn't rhyme which is a bummer.
I like all the voices aside from Ragatha, they got the perfect person to voice Caine, dare I'd say I like it better than the Original voice in that department.
Why is he so afraid of corn?
Same deal as cats and pickles
Corn is delicious though, we're gonna have to fight it seems.
My boi is afraid of eating corn the LONG WAY
>A person scared of something insignificant
Sounds exactly like Jax's VA crying like a pussy bitch when someone used an AI generated voice of the character to voice a meme.
Less than 500k to go
Vivzie sweating, seething and nearly roping herself
>Go to roleplay site
>Want to do Pomni x Ragatha

>Bitch you know who Pomni and Ragatha are
>Bitch Im not going to look for your ref for you
>Drop em
>Take 1 hour to find someone else who knows ADC
>They only type 1 sentence a message
Never regretted burning a bridge this quickly before
Was the other person Pomni or Ragatha? The one who asked for a ref
what site was it? i dont know where to find RP these days
Jax thumping his foot when he's angry!
Jax grinding his teeth when he's content!
Jax flopping flat against the floor/furniture when he feels safe!
Jax headbutting others to get attention!
Jax rubbing his chin on things to mark his territory!
Jax having a fucking heart attack out of nowhere because bunnies are pathetically paranoid
Jax's screams sounding like babies being mauled!
Jax fucking like a machinegun, orgasming in a few seconds and having his legs go limp afterwards
Jax being dominant and demanding others to groom him

Escape artist Jax!
He could easily squeeze through tight spaces. Man is build like a noodle
I like the thought that Jax would actually defend Gangle if anyone else tried to bully her
>pic unrelated
I also get this feel
Hey Cinemaphilefags, I'm like tangentially keeping aware of this series, but for some reason my niece loves it and wants a pomni plush for Christmas.
Gonna put a preorder in for glitch, but that's late December. Anyone know other cute merch of Pomni I could buy for her?
The amazon ones are just blatant scams.
I would check Etsy.
Ragatha and Gangle need to hold one another.
You're absolutely fucking right.
giwtwm
For those who ask "who", either one of them.
>Who do you ship Gabgle with?
Yes.
What the fuck is Addict now? Did they seriously make ANOTHER spinoff?
a music video. thats all
Finished my new sketch, lads, Hope you enjoy!
And here's tall sexy on his own for you.
Very cute. Thank you anon!
>Ribbons
That's a very cute nickname. Love the outfit you gave Jax
>Forbes article was posted October 26th
>Series already had 1.7 billion hashtag views on TikTok
horrifying
>nearly 99.6 million views
When 100 million hits, one of (You) is locked into the Circus forever. Make your peace now.
What is the appeal of this show?
Is it just the animation? The story and characters aren't very interesting.
The characters are all safehorny and it appeals to women who think quirky behaviors are so relatable and literally them.
>The story and characters aren't very interesting.
Are you mentally disabled, perhaps?
Any interesting things you can think of are headcanon because its only a pilot and therefore not enough content for them to be interesting yet
Nothing wrong with having simple with well-defined personalities and watching them interact.
It's also nice to watch a show with no inherently unlikeable characters. Even Jax, the designated asshole character, has some charm and charisma.

It will pass the 100k dislikes milestone before lol

Need more of them.

Holy shit, it’s so close
I've been watching a lot of MemeAnalysis recently, and he seems like someone who'd have a lot of interesting things to say about Digital Circus
Is selling merch the dumbest way to get more money for more episodes? You'll have 1 million third worlders doing the same thing selling their knockoffs at a fraction of the price. Why not just start a kickstarter for more episodes?
No the dumbest way is to enter a deal where you have to kick out all your voice actors on order to be given a budget
Would you condemn a digital copy of yourself to the Circus?
I'm in one already
Depends. Can caine give me a computer and some vidya to play for the rest of my existence? Will my waifu fall in love with me?
Am I granted legal rights over the image and likeness of my digital self? Does this involve me getting a stable and consistent form of passive income in any way shape or form?
If yes to both, give me the headset.
Will my digital copy be a player 2 palette swap of Pomni?
Of course. I am tired of the real world and I have no idea what to do with my life
>anon spends a few months in the circus
>"i'm tired of the digital world and I have no idea what to do with my life, how do I leave?"
That really depends on if I have some way of contacting Digi-Me. If I do, then we will work together from both ends to overthrow Caine and establish a perfect digital world, for his enjoyment and for my profit.
yes. it's not me, so why should i care?
Yeah it would be funny
?si=eH9DJ8XWlMDGupeD
I never watched the Angel Dust MV, does Kovach do the singing in it? Because if so that makes this image especially funny.
>guys our show is popular just look at how many views it has
>also TADC fanbase right now:
nice twitter meme bro tell us another one
Dude is gooning to TADC
If I was Goose, I would have been in a dissociative fugue post-MatPat vid
what the fuck is "gooning"?
it's a tourist term for beating off
Because "Cooming" is already out of style?
gooning is cooming for extended periods of time
Replace the circus with skibidi toilet and you get the ultimate brain melting machine

Jax secretly likes to cuddle. Gangle is the only one who knows, and she's too afraid to use it against him
Mamma's boy Jax.
LITERALLY me.
If Goose makes Jax a momma’s boy I’ll buy Glitch’s sweater
>NOOO JAX SHOULD BE A GIGACHAD HYPERBOREAN UBERSMECH
>Jax secretly likes to cuddle
Imagine he's just a jerk until you give him a hug
Maybe it's all he needs
Pomni's only role after [this episode].
built for SJC (small jester cuddles)
>Vivzie fires Michael Kovach
>Hires celebrities to replace the original cast
>Digital Circus ends up becoming bigger than Hazbin with Kovach starring as one of the most popular character
Is this karma
heh
yeah maybe
i mean Kovach and Bosco were doing free promos on youtube livestreams for Hazbin Hotel which is what drew me into the 'community' in the first place
and then all the VAs were just dropped, and the livestreams stopped happening, & a big part of the wholesomeness and authenticity was gone
Didn’t goozeworx and zooble’s voice actor also work on hazbin, at least the pilot
At least I'll give Goose credit - he doesn't seem to use his ""transition"" to farm for attention like these people.
I give it 15-30 minutes until the big 100
You don't get nearly 3000 NSWF art of your main character in the same month without popularity.
I haven't met anyone IRL that has seen this.
Is this whole thing a giant psyop?
terminal internet thing
None of my coworkers know what League of Legends is. Doesn't mean it's not big.
Yes. All of the posts in this thread were made by me to convince you that people like it.
By this logic the FNAF movie is also a psyop because only 2 people I know IRL even know what FNAF is
190k comments and 100M views seems about right as well, Not to mention that every reactor and cloutchaser talking about TADC just boosts it even more in the algorithm
bots
Yeah, we tricked you into watching it. It was very hard, I've been drawing Gangle porn nonstop.
>off model
Why even bother.
>pic related, on model Gangle?
aww yea that's the shit
>Gangle poledancing
cute gangle
Do you think you could smuggle Gangle around by wrapping her into a tiny little coil and keeping her in your back pocket until you need her?
Sweet digits, now to see some enterprising drawanon make it real.
>It's just a pole with a ribbon wrapped around it.
>"Help, I'm stuck!"
checked. I guess I've gotta try and draw it now.
I'm into more of a Satin fabric. goes well with her delicate, soft personality
most people i know dont know what a Kirby is
>why is thing that's big online not as big IRL?
Many such cases.
My aunt once asked me if a Macbook was a Facebook clone
That's because all of your peers irl are normies who aren't super versed into the internet
>newfags using "normie" unironically
You're friends are normalfags, which isn't bad because when something bad happens you don't have to talk to them about it.
Most people I know are normies who just watch football etc. Anytime I ask around online in certain games or disc everyone else has at least heard of it, I cringed when my sister said I heard of it form tiktok
Would expect it to be the same across all the shows offered by GlitchX if that were the case, but perhaps that would make it too obvious.
100,000,000
we did it reddit
Post Pomnis to celebrate
she did it
She gave birth to 100 million pomlets
1.2 percent of the worlds population has watched this show. That means one out of every hundred people have seen this show.
Doubtful
A significant amount of the views are repeat watches
THE MAD LADS DID IT
Genuinely where the fuck did all those people come from? Neither Glitch nor Gooseworx were THAT popular beforehand
the power of clussy
100 Millions
We did it reddit
>monthly view 119M
huh?
Still one more day left in the month, the rate of views per day continuing puts it roughly at 119,000,000 views by the end of the month.
Looks like the rate of views accruing has been increasing too, so the current views/month is not the average rate for the actual previous calendar month.
LONG LIVE THE KING
it happened
100 million views.
do people on Cinemaphile actually like this because it's good or because it's beating out something you don't like? every thread I see has been about Hazbin hotel or some shit
I like it because it's good. I don't particularly care for the characters in Hazbin, but I am invested in the characters in TADC.
People on Cinemaphile liked it before it was beating out Hazbin Hotel
you just know
>My ass used to be way bigger than this!

>5 minutes in and I'm already impressed
>Go down the rabbit hole
Past few weeks have been like 2012 with mlp, unreal.
I found out about it early on when I was watching Kevin Temmer Troones and then I watched the livestream with the dis/co/rd.
(Un)ashamed to say it was from TikTok
>rabbitok
>Saw a few threads on Cinemaphile before it aired
>Saw it at 400k
>Now 100M
I feel ancient
I watched it live
the first few days of threads were super comfy
>was already a fan of glitch
>knew about it more or less from the moment it was announced
>watched the livestreamed premiere
I saw it in my recommended a few hours after it uploaded. YouTube's algorithm, doing something right for once...
saw a random post about it on twitter that barely stuck in my memory, then it wound up on my youtube recommended page with millions of views so i decided to give it a shot. this also caused me to watch MD a few days later and like it even more, but I still think both are excellent shows that I'm looking forawrd to more of
Twitter “For you” tab kept pushing me pictures of Pomni. I assumed it was someone’s donut steel (technically true) for a week, then I realized she was from a YT animation so I watched it.
I was on the ground floor back when I found out it was Gooseworx's next big project, especially that it was also going to be a full length 3DCG cartoon.
That it went as viral as it did honestly surprised me. Good on Goose and Glitch, though it's obvious Goose is kinda flighty over the massive adoration.
I saw it when it came out, it had came on my Youtube feed and it looked interesting.
Someone posted cute cartoon jester on Cinemaphile. Then I googled her and watched it. I was expecting another waifu bait with repulsive israeli propaganda all over it but turns out it was genuinely good show. I thought shit like this will never happen again but here we are.
Keep it in /misc/, this is not welcome here.
Even if you drink kool aid it's still boring as shit to watch someone preaching about it in a fiction.
From here of course. After seeing lots of people recommend it in one of the threads, I went to watch the pilot and it won me over.
>I follow tons of artist on twitter
>A couple of days after the pilot is uploaded many of them start posting Pomni fanart
>Design immediately catches my attention, really cute
>look up where she's from
Can't believe it's already been almost a month
I knew of Glitch from a while back, was partially following along with Murder Drones, and saw them post TADC.
I've been following Glitch since before it had its own youtube channel. Amazing to see how far they've come.
Knew Gooseworx from Runmo, saw all the teasers, watched it live
The good old-fashioned way: Glitch's day one announcement. Of course, them teasing the Gooseworx collab in advance was what led me to discover Gooseworx.
I still look back on that first teaser, thinking how silly it was to wonder if it'd even reach Murder Drones levels of popularity.
literally saw the trailer as soon was released, probably because of the amount of animation content I watch on youtube
>stay off the internet for a week to dodge Mario Wonder spoilers
>miss the pilot's release
>see some offtopic threads on Cinemaphile about a cute jester, but think nothing of it
>later check Cinemaphile and it seems they're obsessed with the jester's show
>watch the pilot (20M views at the time) and understand why it got so popular
>to dodge Mario Wonder spoilers
what could you possibly be spoiled on, individual level gimmicks?
I was thinking the game was longer and had more content than it actually did. I'm not afraid to admit it was a fucking terrible idea, but I didn't know until it was too late.
first saw gooseworx art, kept up after the teaser dropped and watched the premiere with friends
>sheet music boss had a video
>liked the theme
>watch show
>see pomni appear
>pause video and immediately fap to her rule34
My parents brought home a shitty spare computer when I was like 15 and I spent hours looking up random shit about banjo tooie until I found her Mr. Patch boss remix. Guess it fits that now her most popular works is circus themed when one of her earliest videos was circus music.
Went to check my twitter for porn and found a bunch of different pomni drawings
I first learned of the show from watching the trailer to the show like 6-8 months before it came out. I watched it like 3 days after the pilot premiered.
You know this shit's good when we've gotten to the point that certain anons think that it's gotten this many views because of like a psyop or something.
100 million in less than a month. Well done, circus chads.
Hotelsisters... not like this...
Now that its happened can we cut the rivalry bit now?
KNEEL
Hotel's closed. Circus is open.
And so is the delivery room!

I've heard things here and there about Glitch getting goberment bucks from Australia to produce. What is that all about? Does Australia have some sort of "lets prove to the world we can be cool sometimes" fund?
Australia has a government grant system called Screen Australia which gives Australian media companies money to fund their projects. IIRC Glitch got some cash from it to produce Meta Runner back in the day. Also IIRC ADC did not get a grant.
It’s was mainly grants from Screen Australia (and to a lesser extent, Epic Games)
And as far as I can tell, the only shows Screen Australia have had a direct hand in are the ones created by Kevin and Luke (Meta Runner and Sunset Paradise)
I don’t know the specifics of Aussie government, but it’s possible there’s an effort to push “cultural exports”/make Aussie media that makes people more aware of Australia and Australians in general. Thailand does that with their Department of Export Promotion though they focus on food.
Many countries offer direct support (not just tax incentives) for cultural productions on their territory/using their people.
Australia is one of them, organizing it all through "Screen Australia."
https://www.screenaustralia.gov.au/funding-and-support
>Screen Australia offers funding to support the development, production and marketing of Australian screen content, as well as for the development of Australian talent and screen production businesses.
Though Glitch doesn't seem to have gotten anything from them since Meta Runner.
They got it for Sunset Paradise, and they gave special thanks to Screen Australia for episodes 2 and 3 of Murder Drones (whatever that was for), but that's about it.
Pretty much every goberment throwing money at animators, filmmakers or game developers to "promote arts" or whatever the fuck. Usually money gets stolen and schlock is made.
100 MILLION CELEBRATION FANFICTION!
https://pastebin.com/fdN4sRPx
NEW EPISODES CONFIRMED
Nice to know it's officially announced that the rest of the seven episodes are coming.
Finally, fuck
Unsurprising, but still nice to hear.
nice
AND A DVD RELEASE
It's probably bullshit but I choose to believe it. Take my fucking money, Goose.
If they made it so that the only legal way to watch the rest of the series is to buy a $50 DVD/BD boxset, I'd be fine with that.
>DVD/BD boxset
It's to be 8 episodes as of the latest news. At 1440p, that's a single DVD using modern codecs.
This will surpass MLP bros...
I NEED THE POMNI ONAHOLE TO SHIP ARRIVE ALREADY
How would she react to the fame?
The default "panic" reaction.
Kinda like how she looks in your picrel: confused and somewhat like she's about to wet herself
Pomni would be a nervous wreck just from Caine showing the fan art of her.
New episodes were already in the pipeline, they're just addressing the hype.
yeah bro im sure they were going to keep it a pilot only unless it reached 100M
they just wanted to let goose make one thing and then never again until the views changed their minds
They were already planning on it, this is just a semi-announcement.
During the GlitchX stream, they said.
>[TADC has] been doing crazy and the question we get is "is there going to be a full season? How can you guys not do a full season with how well it's done?"
>Well the answer to that is, we are trying to really, really, focus on how big a season is going to be, there's things like funding, there's accounting, there's a lot of legal stuff, there's like assembling the team, making sure we just have resources and everything in place before we can actually confirm anything
>so just please be patient with us while we're trying to sort all that stuff out
>you'll definitely have some more Digital Circus news in the coming months
Well, we know it's planned to be a single 8-episode season, with more seasons depending on whether Goose feels there's more of a story to tell, so I wonder what they mean by "how big". Maybe the scope of the animation itself?
would you like to try breeding and see which ideology our offspring adapts to
crazy pomni makes my dick hard
nta but don't conflate retarded bait with a reasonable desire to keep /misc/tards quiet
Ranting about the israelites is homosexual shit and you all know it
sounds like you're too scared to conceive my brood. thats okay. the eggs are only around the size of a fist, not very painful to lay.
(they exit through your urethra)
Pomni laying eggs! They are all patterned like circus props
peggs
I want Pomni to oviposit her circus eggs inside of me
no, we are definitely not mostly /misc/tards. that place is cancer and is the reason Cinemaphile was ruined.
>hat place is cancer and is the reason Cinemaphile was ruined
though the influx of people is usually bad for the board culture, the truth is /misc/ (or at least the portion of it that isn't slide/shill threads by bots) is one of the few boards that actually keeps in high the spirit of discussion of old Cinemaphile
site culture*
anon, it's a fucking honeypot
half the board is feds and interns from major news outlets
More fanart
Speak for yourself election tourist, I'm only here to talk about video games.
>You do realize that must of us are /misc/tards here as well right?

I know where I am and what you are, I don't give a fuck about cartoons, I just want to fuck the clown
Actually she's a jester, not a clown.
Fair enough, but I do consider jesters to be at least clown-adjacent.
>Butthurt tourist starts shitting his pants when he finds out how much people hate him
Many such cases!
i knew tourist homosexuals were gonna start shitting up the threads the moment that homosexual mod stickied the pilot on /b/
I didn't notice any differences in these threads before and after that happened tbh
Damn, I don't remember the last time we had a female lead that wasn't a girlboss yaaas kween. Having a character that triggers your protective instincts is totally unfair.
Glitch has been good with their female leads. They're usually a healthy mix of heroines who are either a.) vulnerable but still engaging, or b.) competent but not lacking weakness.
It just peaked, it's now downhill from here.
>the real life pomni is going to be revealed to be a dude this whole time
You heard it here first.
Already unconfirmed by goose on her tumblr.
I mean, she still could be a dude. Just not a tranny
If non-digital Pomni was physically a guy, digital Pomni would literally be transexual. As in currently occupying a female body having formerly occupied a male body.
CUTE!
>...so this is my new existence, huh.
Remember, it could always be worse. At least she's not in the basement.
I do want to see their rooms soon
Pomni's porn folder consists of dudes jacking off onto pictures and anime figures
what's the appeal
Being a beta cuck
To her? I dunno she's a weirdo.
I imagine it's one of the closest ways to fuck an anime girl IRL
Do people even know when will they release the next episode?
Murder Drone release schedule was kind of shit.
nobody knows. not even goose or glitch knows.
Do you think Jax would drive someone to abstraction or backpedal if he goes too far and sees them glitching?
Bullying them would keep their mind off the existential dread that triggers the abstraction, so less likely for them to abstract.
Jax is going to drive someone to abstraction within the next four episodes; and I can't wait to see Tumblr turn on him for 'going too far' once he does.
pomni sex
Holy shit, Goose actually referenced it???
referenced what
where
What the fuck, how did she know?
has anyone actually found the lobster model source
Original lobsteranon here, https://p3d.in/ryHOb
Lobster is a model from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, used during the Treacherous Swine cutscene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmb0PURABps
thanks lobsterbro, will save for future edits
I'm very new to these threads, what is your history/deal with the lobster? How did it all start?
At first I was making edits that didn't make the lobster too noticable for two reasons:
1. When they saw it in the picture, they would rewatch the show in confusion to see if the lobster was actually part of the show
2. If people saved the image and shared it, it would cause general confusion as to why a lobster is in the picture
After reason #1 didn't work because obviously it looks so fucking out-of-place, the 2nd one took hold and it became a funny in-joke and for a thread or two, people were genuinely searching stills from the show to see if a lobster was added. Now it's become a funny Cinemaphile-exclusive meme about the show.
Thank you for the recap! I was actually confused whether the lobster was in the show or not, so I guess it worked
Very based shenanigans, made me laugh a lot
There's nothing wrong with abstraction.
All should be abstracted.
You will like it when you experience it.
Ok Kaufmo
Real question. How old are you?
I enjoy the show but I'm 32 so I feel like I shouldn't even watch it.
Stop thinking you're too old to enjoy something, anon.
26.
I'm 30 and don't really give a fuck anymore. It's not like I'm sperging out about it IRL. There is worse things that people do in private. Fucking Epstein island exist and I'm supposed to feel bad about watching animated show and liking it. Doesn't even feels like kids cartoon to me.
It probably just makes anon weary because of the colorful 90s kids activity center aesthetic even though it's literally just an aesthetic. Like colorful environments make anon feel too old for things.
i'm 37 but i'm also autistic
35. Without content like TADC I'd probably go postal.

Turning 21 this very week
Finally someone who's younger than Zooble and Jax
This is me, and it's kinda surreal to be younger than Pomni
Wait how do you get characters' ages?
From the wiki, confirmed by the creators. The creator only confirmed the ages so that people can safely draw porn of them.
>The creator only confirmed the ages so that people can safely draw porn of them.
Wow, you got to be a real Grade A pussy to get shaken by some kids on Twitter thinking that you're a pedo.
They're still going to do it anyway so what's the point?
There's a lot of artists scared to draw characters that are underaged. Give them assurance and you get 10x the artists drawing porn of your characters. It's basically free advertisement.
It's retarded that people freak out about fictional underaged characters. It's even more retarded when you're not drawing those underaged characters directly, but their digital avatars. But them's the stupid rules.
>From the wiki, confirmed by the creators.
Which is to say, there was a flippant post about it on tumblr. Take that as you will, but it's not actually canonical information.
https://www.tumblr.com/gooseworx/731374305000275968/ik-you-said-some-of-the-characters-ages-but-can-we
I really like the expression work here.
There's a deleted Theme Song that has more soul
It's the same song, just with different lyrics. The different lyrics is narrating over what Pomni's doing, which is a bit weird if it's the characters doing a theme song bit out of boredom.
who does the vocals for the opening anyway? the voice is so saccharine it’s addictive
gotta say I prefer hazbin hotel to this show.
I should say I prefer the hazin pilot to this one
The Japanese dubs feel so good.
i disagree. it's already hard to do japanese dubs for western animations because the timings that feel 'right' for each genre feels so different. This dub couldnt change the video. The voices felt very uninspired. There weren't even any honorifics used for the names.
Happening or bootleg?
