Did this episode feel off to anyone else? It feels like it was rewritten like ten times.

I feel the idea was to take all the ideas that didn't pan out for a full episode and jam them together in a sort of clip-show

not a good sign if true

>>149099664
the charm of the show has worn off for you. That's the answer to your question.

That is not just an animation error. That's a very deliberate visual glitch indicating she's next up for the cellar.

>>149099664
To me it felt like it was written based on the reception to the series with all the wink wink nudge nudge moments. Goose is definitely lying about having the entire show written.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it established that these characters don't remember their pre-circus lives? The bar sense just felt like gratuitous lore dumps for Tumblr.

>>149099750
The whole show wasn't written out in advance, just plotted out. The script itself was revised after episode 4, I think.

>Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it established that these characters don't remember their pre-circus lives? The bar sense just felt like gratuitous lore dumps for Tumblr.
No. That was an assumption people made because they couldn't remember their real names.

The lack of background music is really fucking disconcerting.

>>149099885
I was going to mention that in the OP but I thought I was just tripping. Where's THE MUSIC?

>>149099637 (OP)
Felt like this >>149099664
It was really unfocused too. Like you get a super tiny bit of lore for most the characters, but compare that to episode 3 or 4. Which also give that while heavily fleshing out one character.
I thought this was gonna be that episode for jax.

>>149099750
Softening Jax up and making him a fuckboi were very clear attempts to pander to shippers. He was supposed to be an unredeemable asshole in the first two episodes. I guess that was a lie.

>>149099692
you are dumb

>>149099637 (OP)
I think people on /co/ (and on the internet in general) are very bad at looking at what each scene in a show means, and would rather an episode be totally focused on reinforcing one idea, instead of spinning multiple character/world buildings plates.

Just idle observations.

>>149099637 (OP)
>It feels like it was rewritten like ten times.
The whole series feels like a bunch of people practicing how to write a script and animation.

You just KNOW they'll be brought back. Maybe when the players finally turn on Caine he brings the evil versions back. Either to take the real ones down or to try and replace them.

I really liked it desu. And disappearing guy destroyed my sides

I just skim through this show now. When did they regain their previous Circus memories? I thought it was a big deal with Kinger releasing information, but now everyone remembers everything.

>>149100483
They always had their memories - it is just their names their forgot. The entire reason of Pomni's horror in episode 1 is that she recalls being a human putting on the VR visor, and suddenly she's a cartoon jester in an alternate circus place thing, and she doesn't remember her name when Caine asks.
No one in the cast actually has amnesia or whatever. Pomni in episode 2 flat out says she remembers where she came from, and Gangle in ep 4 states she worked as a fast food manager IRL. Kinger in ep 3 was a big deal because his entire thing is being disconnected with reality

I was a bit disappointed that Zooble was just wearing a male uniform in the Anime Academy and not a mix like Najimi from Komi-san

I've been in the Ragatha camp since day 1.

If anyone is actually a zooble fan, brace yourself cuz she might Teded by caine soon.
Uhhhh...in fact, jax suggesting turning her into a slug might have been an I have no mouth reference, as well as her mentioning not having a mouth.

So what is evil pomni sex like in comparison to regular pomni? I must know what each bring to the table

>>149099637 (OP)

Plotfags don’t understand anything that isn’t a direct advancement of the core narrative. They see all other elements of story as window dressing, if they even see them at all.
This episode was good precisely because of how much conceptual ground it covered, we were afforded one episode in the middle unchained by a linear narrative, one episode to be with the characters and the adventures and the humor, the premise itself. But they see these things as filler.

I vote to give Pomni a huge futa cock

>>149101012
I mean, you can get elaborate about it but the simplest answer is regular Pomni bottoms while Evil Pomni absolutely tops.

The circus is too much of a happy place now.
Ragatha needs to destroy it by turning into a glitchy mess as a way of getting revenge on the people who ignore her.

>>149100080
The people who use the term “media literacy” are usually fucking assholes trying to sell total bullshit but the truth of the matter is the normalfags have become media saturated as much as the nerds/otaku and they fucking suck at it. Media literacy unironically has declined decades.

>>149100922
Looks like Ragafan doomposting and Evil Pomni coomposting.
I'll personally still be Gangling.

glad I'm not the only one who caught that

>>149101143
Well, someone put it on tvtropes, so they either know or are just making shit up. I say contra because caine specifically says US military and that's what bill and Lance are.

>>149099664
Yeah. The hype is on life support so throw a bunch of ideas and see what sticks so you can run that harder next episode

>>149099637 (OP)
I don't get why Pomni and Jax started hanging out at the end of the episode.
All shit considered, Pomni has had an overwhelming amount of negative experinces with Jax, why be all buddy buddy with him suddenly?

>>149100209
look at how fast she moves side to side. imagine getting a 2-frame loop blowjob from that haughty bitch

>>149099637 (OP)

What did he show her?

>>149100999

his keys

>>149101251
That was just an excuse to get her away from the others so they would both hang out.
I don't get why she would go along considering >>149101248

The problem I have with this episode is that the pacing of the show doesn't make sense.
So after a ton of adventures, Did they never talk about what they did in their lives? One of the key points in establishing a friendship is opening up to someone, and Raghata never decided to talk about his life, even if it was a lie? What the hell do they talk about after each adventure? Seriously, did Zooble never talk about being a bartender and doing tattoos? Or Pomni?
This episode would make sense if it were episode 2 and everyone had just arrived at Digital Circus.

>>149099750
Not a fan of them just being able to casually remember everything

>>149101248
Sloppy writing

>>149100999
I love how Zooble themselves was the one who had stated how Caine didn't hurt the cast because he likes them and yet continues to piss off Caine immediately after episode 4 kek

Also seeing how Caine does hold grudges indefinitely really recontextualizes the shorts they've shared like the car one, he really is changing his tune to go out for blood with Zooble

>>149099637 (OP)
It was my favorite episode

>>149100631
Disgusting.

>>149101143
I just listened to the play and, other than the national guard, there's no moment where the heart fights the US military and the heart isn't sentient, which caine says it's sentient.

>>149101332
The writing in this episode feels kinda fucky overall

>>149099869
>"Remember when you woke up in the middle of the night, wet and sticky? IT WAS ME, ANON! I SUCKED YOU OFF WHILE YOU SLEPT!"

>>149101332
It feels like Pomni has only really been at the circus for a few days. The way they talk in the this episode, the fake McDonalds adventure happened not that long ago.

Better but still pretty terrible.

Barely, the fuck doesn't share anything about himself, e.i., the bar scene where he refuses to talk about his past by making a epic XD joke reference, meanwhile he makes snide remarks whenever anyone shares something about themselves.

I fucking hate Jax, hope he gets abstrated next.

>>149101466
...
Bubble, you can't say that

>>149101455
it's because it never happened earlier

>>149101248
He opened up to her a bit, and she didn't think it was possible. Neither did Ragatha or Zooble, really. I'm not sure how Gangle actually feels about Jax (she certainly isn't angry with him so far, and I think "fearful of him" might be infantilizing Gangle a bit). Jax seems to, deep down, actually care how Gangle is doing... but is too closed-off normally to ask Gangle directly, so he asks Pomni instead.

Now this could be gigabrain hyper-manipulative 5-D chess both Jax and the writing are playing, but that genuine-sounding curiosity - almost worry - about Gangle possibly being unable to ever feel happy likely disarmed Pomni quite a lot. He demonstrated a capacity for empathy, however limited his expression of that capacity is, and Pomni now also knows that he's lost someone important to him.

>>149101489
Pomni was never the sweet girl we thought she was. Jax is the kind of guy she likes, especially when his dickishness isn't targeted at her.
I hope you have come to accept it.

>>149101455
Autismos struggle with following conversations, but often aren't aware of just how much as long as they get some kind of response from people.

Also a lot of kids and teens online these days seethe at character drama for not being action or aura farming because they're genuinely retarded and, as much as I hate to use this phrasing... media illiterate.

God he is such an autist I love him

>>149101489
But she also found out he actually cares about Gangle and lost a friend. So it could be a mix of being more open because he was nicer, feeling bad for him, wanting to know more and wanting a thrill like she talked about instead of just existing or being stressed out. It could easily turn out toxic which is probably why ragatha looked worried.

Is Caine right? Can a story not be good unless something bad is happening to the characters?

Honestly Jax and Pomni’s friendship and Ragatha’s jealousy is pretty refreshing. Except I know that Ragatha’s abstraction will divide them bad.

>>149101567
Sounds like the opinions of some of the viewers out there as well. If there's no drama/conflict, then what's the point?

>>149101567
it's the typical "if god is all powerful why do bad things happen" commentary

>>149101555
Poor guy is too immature to give the people what they want. I’m believing the theory the circus was made for kids more and more.

>>149101576
>Jax doesn't like Slice of Life
Jax confirmed for actually controlling the simulation

>>149101576
>>149101567
There’s got to be something to overcome.

>>149101567
He needs to do a truth or dare adventure where they have no choice, but to answer truthfully, or do horrible things to avoid it.
When the cast starts revealing the ugly, hidden opinions of each other, conflict starts to brew, and ultimately explodes in the open.
A reality show where everyone is friendly with each other is bad television.

>>149101251
why, his peanus weenus of course :)

Jax showed great strength of character and maturity not immediately decapitating zooble with the bat.

>>149101567

Female brain, she’d be on Kinger’s dick too if he wasn’t cooky.

>>149101578
But he’s not got. He’s closer to that kid from that Twilight Zone episode but nicer, and that was a commentary about cowardice which I guess doesn’t apply that much here

>>149101527
Pomni can be sweet but she starts the show cursing her ass off and trying to head for the exit herself while ragatha is btfo and the abstracted clown is rampaging. She also responded badly to ragatha trying to cheer her up with her forced positivity. The whole point of ragatha seems like only sweetness isn't realistic in a person.

>>149099869

>>149099637 (OP)
> Caine has the ability to edit the players minds
Horrifying implications, kinda surprising that this aspect was glossed over so quickly. I guess Jax wouldn't have wanted to mention it out loud if Caine was listening in?

>>149099750
>but wasn't it established that these characters don't remember their pre-circus lives?
No, only that they couldn't remember their names. how else would pomni know she put a headset on if they couldn't remember anything about themselves.

So what's with the corn?

>>149101527
>Jax is the kind of guy she likes, especially when his dickishness isn't targeted at her.
Well yea, she's a woman.
I bet Gangle secretly gets off on being abused by Jax too.

The downside of the serialization of western media. There's no interest out there for a bunch of stuff that just happens. Unless the audience gets the proverbial 'dog with the shifty eyes' that symbolizes something mysterious afoot, they wind up dissatisfied.

>>149101564
>But she also found out he actually cares about Gangle
But guys! He actually cares, he's just too hurt to express it, he's a victim too!!!

>>149101634
I feel like its a bit hard to judge Pomni's actions in the first episode given that she was still kind of in shock after being transported there and probably wasn't even sure if everyone there was even real yet. She just wanted to get out and it overrode her mind in a life or death situation.

Similarly to that, it makes sense she wouldn't respond well to Ragathas 'Everythings alright!' shtick given that her life has just been turned upside down and she's apparently trapped forever. Its not what she needed to hear. Even then, she retroactively appreciates what Ragatha was trying to do for her and even mentions as much later.

So vixen was right, jax likes gangle better when she's sad because that means at least she's not lying to herself.

Never forget when you fuckers got this #2 trending on Google this afternoon
Never forget!

>>149101702
I'm not judging her I'm just pointing out her character was never just being sweet. She has her own interests and problems.

>>149101583
>I’m believing the theory the circus was made for kids more and more
I think there's something going on along those lines, maybe he was initially conceived to make small funny minigames but as his runtime has extended more and more he feels like simple things no longer satisfy his "audience" and has adapted by making more "action packed" and "plot complex" adventures when the humans only want to have a more relaxed time not being bothered over and over how they are stuck in a game. His adventures suck not because they are bad but because he is trying to reach some stupidly high standards no one is forcing him to follow but himself

>>149101874
Wacky talking car races around distorted cartoon versions of their home towns. The cars are super casual about the hyper violence and explosions. They get access to upgrades when they get money for wrecking an opponent's car and destroying property. Lots of old and new npcs. One Speed Racer reference and two Akira bike slides.

I'd hang out with Jax. He's cool.

>>149102225
Pomni not wanting to see Jax in a maid outfit is a huge red flag

>>149102225
You can rest assured, anyone confused/surprised that Pomni is going out of her way to be friends with Jax, doesn't interact with actual IRL women very often.

>>149102225
I'm disappointed in Pomni for not even trying to help Ragatha. Like, is it selfish of Ragatha to want some pep and cheer? It's probably unfair to put that on others, yes. But they're in digital hell, it's her method of coping, at least give her a "yeah alright" not shoot her down and lead her one step closer to abstraction.

>>149102162
No she's not

>>149099637 (OP)
It was the lack of music for most of the episode.
Made it way more boring than it already was.
Plus, Digital Circus always had the subtly of a brick. It kinda got away with it by distracting the characters with something nonsensical, giving a bit more believability to characters spilling their guts out when they get a moment to breath. But an entire 25 minutes of just "breathing time" really showcases just how on the nose the writing is.

>>149102264
What's with the incel projection lately, this is the weirdest reaction pomni and jax interacting provoked.
What does irl life have anything to do with liking or not when characters interact with eachother.

>>149102225
I don't really think they're disappointed? It makes some sense for her to want to be friendly with Jax, at the very least as a way of coping with her situation.

She understandably doesn't like it when he's actually abusing the other characters but when he's just shit-talking and making dumb comments its an outlet for humour. Kinger is nice but insane 99% of the time, Gangle is super shy with everyone but Zooble, Zooble is distant with most people other than Gangle+doesn't participate in adventures much, and Ragatha always has her fake nice persona coping mask on. Jax is presumably the only one she could just talk garbage to without feeling like she's walking on eggshells.

Someone tell Goose about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAW84RRNw84 before the month is over

>>149102320
>with liking or not
I don't like it, though. I'd rather Jax get with Evil Pomni.

>>149100631
Beautiful

>>149099869
>Alone on a Friday night? God, you are pathetic

I just want to say "I come from a wealthy family" is not how people who come from a wealthy family talk. It's how someone would describe someone who comes from a wealthy family.

This isn't to say that Ragatha's lying. Just that the writing is shit.

>>149102208
>blackgr00mer
go back

>>149102264
>troon but manages to NAIL female character writing with pomni/ragatha
im floored

>>149102404
I mean, it might be how someone who comes from a wealthy family but who very much didn't LIKE said family might say it? Or she's just simplifying because she doesn't wanna get into it?

>>149101567
All stories need conflict, he's totally right
Problem is, his idea of conflict is always "go into this place and face horrific bodily harm", never "oh boy, you're up against the evil versions of yourself in a sports league! You better not lose! There'll be no stakes, except the humiliation of defeat."

>>149101079
the npc is going to manipulate the circus denizens into making ragatha abstract, and will then enjoy watching the cast fall apart trying to blame each other so he can advance his super evil plan of tormenting humans just like his creators did to him when the digital circus was being created
...
or gooseworx is going to pussy out and the "evil" npc just ends up helping ragatha or something

>>149100543
Wait what.

They only forgot their fucking NAMES??

THAT'S SO STUPID

>>149102404
Ragatha speaks like she is reading from cue cards all the time. She knows nothing about communicating like a proper human being.

>>149102421
>I mean, it might be how someone who comes from a wealthy family but who very much didn't LIKE said family might say it?
Point taken.

>>149101648
It's been set up since episode 4 with the stupid sauce
This will be a major plot thread in the finale episodes
MARK MY WORDS

>>149101795

>>149100631
She is most likely black, her last name is Jackson.

>>149099637 (OP)
What are your guys thoughts of the show?

>>149102345
I never said otherwise but that's not even what that anon is saying, he is saying anyone who doesn't like jax interacting with pomni are incels, he is not even attributing it to pomni having a female moment, he is just projecting that you are an incel if you don't like it which is retarded.

Pomni's kisses...

>>149102225
Ragatha is just a liiiiil' bit annoying.

>>149102434
what's stupid is not having caught onto this until now

>>149102404
To be fair she said "fairly wealthy" which is more accurate to how people with some money describe their status "im not rich but im not poor".

>>149102087
Most likely thin. Like this without the pear shape

>>149102513
From which lips?

>>149102225
Personally I just think it happen to quickly, had they used this episode to set it up and they open up to eachother next episode it would be believable.
I don't mind it but it felt rushed.

>>149101555
So Zooble knew Caine can interfer with free will. I just wonder how.

I still don't get why Gangle acts like a child despite being 26, she's older than Jax, Zooble, and Pomni

>>149101248
Because Pomni foolishly thinks Jax "warming up" to her means he'll treat her better like he hasn't had all the fucking time in the world to warm up to the dozen of people who've entered the circus already.
It's because Pomni is new and wasn't exposed to the months of bullshit the others had been dealing with, she thinks Jax will be different with her

>>149102087
Who the fuck wastes their valuable, finite time making shit like this

>>149102570

- anon asks in an anime website full of 20 - 30 something manchildren who throw autistic fits when something doesn't go their way

>>149102607
>>149102629
I mean one of the popular theories is that everyone that enters the circus is a depressed mentally unwell type, the show came out after covid where fucking thousands bought a vr headset because there was fuckall else to do, alot of nerds you play video games with aren't in-shape or are even unhealthy, while it's not appealing to think everyone in tadc is a fat nerd fuck it's not unrealistic, course there's also a good chance we won't actually ever see them as humans anyways.

loved the episode. had a big smile on my face the entire time. also ragatha dress and pomny in that suit is SEEEEXXXXXOOOO.

9/10 episode, the main cast should be chopped up for the next episode

why don't they just Kill gangle

>>149102629
why do you want to picture that any time gangle is on screen?

>>149102473
>She is most likely black, her last name is Jackson.
Sauce?

im surprised there isn't more horniness for pomni in a seifuku

>>149102306
You like swshit. You cant call something else subpar.

>>149102692
Because that would be not nice of them

>>149102692
Because we need anime jokes with a punchline, and Gangle getting called a loser or having shit taste is that punchline.

>>149102719
Maid Jax stole the show.

>>149099664
Yeah sounds like a great idea

For season 11.

So does the long wait time per episode help or hinder the show? Not that I'd want the guys to rush the process, but I think waiting six months is too much to ask even if this is just gonna be a one season thing.

>>149102593
The whole therapy bit exposed both Caine and Zooble to each other really uncomfortably. Zooble learned that Caine is comparable to a petty child wanting to have his way and be told how good he is but also has some scary nasty control over a lot of things and figured that if he so wanted to make them play by his rules he could puppeteer them into that and they'd have no say otherwise aside of complaining they already do (which he can't mute from mouthless characters funnily enough)

>>149102704
He's samefagging for (you)s

>>149102598
I know people nearing their fucking 40s that act like gangle unironically, some are surprisingly fun after getting over the cutesy front

>>149102478
In general?
>Very good heart, all feels like it was created with love, and even the "ironic" moments are done with a smile
>Extremely unique concept that draws from a wide swath of inspiration
>Incredible animation and visual direction. Excellent sound design too, which sometimes goes forgotten in these shows since you only really notice it when it's actively bad
>A great sign for the animation industry that a show can just take off like this and make a big impact, even if this level of success is just a fluke
>That same strong style might push away people who don't like all it has to offer
>Has some bad habits it overindulges in, and a fan base that sometimes expects things it was never going to provide

More specifically?
>Great cast of characters: some are more two dimensional than others, but they're stereotypes in an at least appealing and real way. For every character, I've met plenty of people who have them as their favorites
>Jax is one of the most interesting characters I've ever seen
>The dialogue is very diverse between characters, which can make some scenes feel more stilted than others; any Zooble conversation is buttery smooth, while Ragatha talks like a flustered P.R woman. This is deliberate, but it doesn't always work
>The series has a bad habit of having characters just Say Things without sufficient prompting. This is probably a consequence of the run-time, but it's still a real problem in some scenes. Ragatha is ESPECIALLY guilty of this
>Each episode is an experiment, which is good if you like experimentation, and bad if you find a specific episode type you like and want them to stick with it. No two episodes have been the same, inevitably leading to each new episode being dubbed "the worst one so far" until people realize what they expected was never what was being offered
>The fandom is a fun bunch

This series has made the world of animation measurably better, but it's defined as much by its flaws as its strengths

No one asked but my current theory for Jax, is that he intentionally caused Kaufmos abstraction in some way, or he did so indirectly but still, he feel guilty about it and thats why he doesn't attend the funeral, maybe because no one cared about Ribbit? Idk. Or Kaufmo has something to do with why Jax's frog friend is gone.

>>149102824
a beach episode would actually be kino

>>149102208
hey thats my drawing!

im working on something new btw

>>149101874
Hunting Caine for sport adventure.

what booru do i go to
to save many pictures of evil pomni
safebooru apparently never gets updated

Ragatha only "apologized" Jax to put him down even more by yet again bringing up his dead friend (and probably implying that it's his fault)

That said, Ragsimps are drooling retards

>>149102930
>hunting God for fun and profit

>>149102953
YES

>>149102859
Bubble did suggest Caine to throw a beach party (ignoring the whole telling him to mcfucking kill himself), so there might be a chance

>>149102957
It will be the final adventure that ends the show with everyone happy and no one abstracts. Screencap this post.

>>149102968
>one of the first pieces of art I saw from this show was this image celebrating 100M views
>final episode is a beach party
It's enough to make a grown man cry

>>149102850
Maybe, apperantly jax is going to do ''something" that turns him into someone we hate, what if its just a reveal of what he's already done? Maybe he tried to get a new friend and the only way to do so was to get rid of another character? And Kaufmo happened to be his least favorite?

>>149102980
We're getting that beach episode, Goose promised if she got 9 episodes total she'd do it so it better happen.

>>149102659
Gangle is most likely thin. That whole design is definitely somebody getting their image of the people who work in fast food mixed up with the image of what people who exclusively eat fast food in staggering quantities would look like.

Did you notice the "over 6 feet tall" part? WITH the hunchback? That person would be so catastrophically massive they wouldn't have the mobility to do a non-desk job (and may not be able to leave the house regularly - transportation infrastructure is not built for people this size), and shift managers still need to be able to walk around.

It's clearly not conforming to the realities of human anatomy, so I can only assume it's some sort of female ogre creature.

>>149102651
This is the absolute worst. I landed this absolutely stacked cute/hot nerd girl and the sex was so bad it was almost indescribable. Zero rhythm, wouldn't take hints, id go to thrust and she'd fuck up and go in the opposite direction.
Tragic.

>>149102850
my unsolicited theory/idea is that Ribbit was indeed Jax's friend and Kaufmo was Ragatha's or at least, Kaufmo was the closest she had gotten to a true friendship despite her continuous fumbling of it but Kaufmo kept trying for her but something went down between both friend groups that ended up with both frog and clown abstracting and Jax and Ragatha in bitter terms with each other.

with a newbie in the circus it's very clear both Ragatha and Jax took interest in her and have tried to take her in on their own ways, Ragatha though her true and tried failed methods of niceness and Jax more interested in figuring her out like a citter in a lab. We know which method ended up "working", but I doubt Pomni is really keeping with Jax, she is more interested in everyone getting along than the current groups separation bullshit they have atm

so far? yeah. The only other possible way would be for Caine to do the snap special on you but even he doesn't know what could happen if he did that and doesn't seem to enthusiastic to try it out, it might be a total game breaking glitch and instakill everyone inside the game I guess we'll have to wait and see

>>149103139
Anon you've been reading too much fanfiction.

>>149103160
my English is shit

>>149103047
Pomni showed more interest in Jax than Ragatha now because he came off as more genuine while being unexpectedly caring and fun while Ragathas few attempts at being more genuine involved trauma dumping and snapping at her/throwing her advice in her face while fighting with Jax.

>>149103179
Fair enough
I think it was great and didn't actually like evil pomni much, so we're unfortunately gonna have to kill you.

Is a Frog a girl?

>>149103174
I'd bet money right now that Caine has accidentally snapped away a real human player before and killed them.

>>149103204
He's about to do it to zooble any day now

>>149103118
I meant the text posts. The reply to IRL Gangle is 80% identical to one in a previous thread.

>>149103214
I love their weird pissy attitudes to one another so much, I hope it continues.

>>149102871
What software?

How come no one's mentioned how Cain refers to the cast as "Intelligent AI's", when we always think of only him as one? Is it possible they all are? And Cain's just programmed to have more permissions to manipulate things, even them? It would explain how Cain can re-write their code and make them think and do, and look in ways they hadn't originally. Kind of like Neuro-Sama, she's an intelligent AI, but she's forced to look, sound, and even think/mold her personality around whats prompted for her to do. Let's also use C.ai as another example, you can essentially prompt a character like Ragatha to "Have A Backstory" and "Reminisce" but that doesn't mean it's real, they're "Characters" in a story. That may be why they feel "2-Dimensional". >>149102824

>>149103214
Sure but downlow, Caine loves Zooble's angst, it gives him an odd sense of drive that way.

>>149103255
Zooble is really the only one actively engaging with him and I think he's desperate for that even if it pisses him off. That old "some attention is better than no attention".

>>149103249
Don't excuse deliberate writing decisions with lore.
Gangle is meant to be a stereotype, Jax and Ragatha are meant to be extreme personalities who are "hiding something," yadda yadda.

>>149103267
Yeah seems like everyone else is either too scared of him to speak up or just dismissive of him because they don't want his input. Zooble at least sort of treats him like just another character, even if they're obviously exasperated at his memory issues.

>>149103249
Holy fucking shit we've been over this so many times. Caine is referring to the npc AIs in the adventures being left running for too long, not the fucking cast members. They've all been "running" since the day they arrived in the fucking circus, it's makes no sense that he would suddenly mention them "running" for two long now. Think about things before you post anon.

>>149103281
They don't see him as one of them so they don't care what he thinks or want to interact with him. Really Zooble is the only one that's treated him like a person.

>>149103282
that kind of slipped my mind...

>>149102709
Spanish dub first episode intro.

>>149103271

>>149103329

>>149103340
Zooble's really grown on me as a character to the point I think I like her better than Jax now.

Don't be afraid of corn, corn is good!

>>149103078
send a clip

I want a another scene in the future with Caine and Zooble, it could be in the middle of a insane chaotic adventure and Caine scoots with Zooble and asks if this was a fun idea, which in turn would lead to a decent heart to heart. inb4 Caine ruins the moment and suddenly does something crazy to spice up the adventure because he getting too moppy is bad

>>149103301
I'm sorry to have gone off on you dude but it just doesn't make sense when you actually think about what he's saying.

>>149102404
>"I come from a wealthy family" is not how people who come from a wealthy family talk.
How the hell do they say it then?

>>149103363
i can see them becoming friends once caine gets himself sorted out

>>149103356
She was pretty bad in the first few episodes since they were all adventure focused episodes, so whenever she showed up, she showed up in a bad mood trying to get AWAY from the adventure as much as she could.

At the time, though, I was a mark for her, because I trusted she'd eventually be roped in. This was back when some people thought the show was going to be an adventure-of-the-week. Now that the show is less about adventures and more about character moments, the "down to earth, slightly edgy voice of reason who's close-minded but friendly" plays a really important role in balancing the cast dynamics. My stocks paid OFF.

I wish a lot of this Evil Pomni wasn't so off model BARF

>>149103375
Most wealthy people don't realize they're wealthy.
They just know other people are poor.
But Ragatha, by the sound of it, wishes she was poor.

>>149103380
I'll admit I was one of the people who fucking hated her after the pilot but yeah she's cool now.

>>149102777
Or he may "code" them a certain way and then not be able to revert them back. Jax being a vegan is simple, but a complete personality rewrite may be too much to untangle.

Jax said Caine wouldn't really do anything too bad because it was "not in his nature" yet we see how little Jax actually knows about Caine. Caine can actually get frustrated and do something drastic.

>>149103376
In one way or another....they will become something more.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/j4D4QFPJRFk

>>149103282
I thought he was exclusively referring to himself there I didn't even think about the NPC's
I kinda want to see that happen now.

>Jax pisses off Caine enough to earn some quality time in the cornfield

>>149103399
The second Caine forcfully dropped Zooble down that chute in the floor just because he didn't want to hear her talk anymore I knew there was going be trouble later. It was too aggressive for what was happening in the moment and even Ragatha and Pomni exchanged glances.

>>149103282
He also indirectly confessed he can't keep it under wraps if too many comoplex AIs are running free.

>>149103398
It's made me look a lot differently at character moments I don't like now, like this whole episode with Pomni and Jax just kind of "making up" at the end. Trust the plan. We've got a long way to go yet.

>>149103401
He cant have been referring to himself or even Bubble because both of them have been running since the Circus was first turned on.

>>149103432
>"Ragatha?"
>"Yeah, Pomni?"
>"Have we made God angry?"

>>149101385
Her lips isn't so bad.

>>149103424
oh please let this happen it would be both a great twilight zone reference and be fucking hilarious

>>149103434
Yep. He can run two adventures at the same time no problem going of the Spudy's adventure and Kinger's adventure with bull riding going on simultaneously but it sounds like he does have a limit on how much he can run at once.

>>149103462
I want full AM Caine so bad

>>149103229
same, it's gonna be incredible to see choking hazard stocks go up

>>149103214
I'd rather they hatefuck their issues away but it'd be admittedly intriguing if he does snap them away during an argument and see what happens next

>>149103424
>>149103432
There was this unwriten rule that, despite everything that happens in the digital world their minds were the only thing truly theirs, but it seems they are just as digital as anything else there and their personalities are just some "default" code created as they logged in.

I find this funny cuz the dialogue works both ways

>>149103458
My thought process was the reason he and especially bubble are so wacky is because they've been running non stop. Like if he reset he'd be far more reasonable and less absent minded if his charges

>>149103564
it does work either way huh

>>149103502
It is normal if you think about it, Caine's hardware is somewhere in the real world. We may actually know where.

>>149103462
Ragatha is becoming more and more possessive of Pomni.

>>149103573
Its possible that could be happening to them but he wasnt talking about himself and Bubble in that moment.

>>149103573
>episode 9 is just finding Caine's power button so they can turn him off and back on again

>>149103589
It's going to be a character assassination if Ragatha goes in hard on getting between the Pomni and Jax friendship.
But, it adds drama, so might as well.

>>149103586
>It is normal if you think about it
Well yeah the computer system thats running the game has gotta be at least 20 years old, maybe more. That said it is a "special" game with funky special tech going off the original wacky watch teaser so it ain't just a normal run of the mill system.

I feel this episode reveals that the show just feels directionless. Like the gay demon show, the show doesn’t seem to know what it wants to be about. who or what is the main antagonist of this show supposed to be?
Is it abstraction? Is it Caine? Is it Jax? Ragatha? The evil AI thats now being introduced? Bubble?!
The show’s running out of time to get to the point. and without a point your show will just be known as a passing trend.

>>149103365
An Apology...?

>>149103556
Yep, changing Jax into a vegan and seemingly outright forcing him to vocally correct himself in the bar scene is a pretty bad omen for how much they can potentially be changed later.

The only thing that's really holding Caine back from 'editing' them to his liking is that he probably hasn't realized it himself, or at least, he hasn't realized how far he can go with it, like for instance forcing them to find his adventures entertaining or wanting to go on them.

>>149103704
yes.

>>149103715
I bet he'll lose it and edit them to be exactly what he wants and tell him how great he is and then he'll realize how empty and meaningless that is.

>>149103690
don't care about the post, bury me in sweaty evil pomni tits

Jax seems genuinely surprised by the lack of his supposed tail.

kek people on twitter are setting the intermission part to various different songs with the same beat

I hope funny bunny shippers get blueballed to death

>>149103799
some people were thinking it was because he was a bad copy of the original jax and the original had a tail that this copy still remembers?

It's likely their digital circus form is related to their traumas/background.

It might be a stretch, specially the Zooble Kinger ones. We know that kinger has a wife and that there is a queen that abstracted, i think it's fair to say they are the same.

>>149103799
Makes me wonder how long they've actually been in there for, at least, like, how long they've perceived it to be (since they all seem to be from roughly the same time period with Zooble recognizing Jax's breaking bad reference + Pomni posting vids on youtube and such)

I guess they probably don't look at themselves that often but its interesting that Jax doesn't even know when the tail could've disappeared and no one else mentioned it either.

>>149103823
and Jax?

>>149103704
I couldn't see his mouth when I first watched this and he was cuter without it.

>>149103823
> Worked as a tattoo artist and a bartender, doesn't know her place in life and has an attitude

I figured the toybox thing was because Zooble was trans or something and they're never happy with how their body looks.

>>149103868
>I figured the toybox thing was because Zooble was trans or something

Rogue AI/Hacker/Programer.

>>149103878
Figured it was obvious, with everyone referring to zooble as 'they' and stuff.

Also they were wearing the boys uniform in the anime adventure despite having a feminine voice/eyelashes, etc.

>>149103889
it's me I'm there to save and cuddle ragatha

>>149103905
She a dyke, that's it

It's that stupid "S" from everywhere when I was a teenager.

>>149103917
You don't refer to dykes as 'they' though do you? they're still women

>>149103859
>and Jax?
We don't know yet, his backstory outside the circus is still a mystery.
>>149103868
>I figured the toybox thing was because Zooble was trans or something and they're never happy with how their body looks.
It's possible. Her background makes me think of the typical alt-culture blue-haired rebel, which is why i said she was a mix of random things because she feels she has no place she belongs to.

>>149103964
>>149103917
also:

>>149103917
>>149103941
that's all most they/thems really are. funny how that works

>>149103977
In reality, sure, though even those in denial would still say they're trans or non-binary or some such

>>149103390
Absolute shit taste ngl

>>149103363
“Today’s Adventure is “God is deAd and reality is collapsing around you”.

>>149103823
Massive reach, you could reach this kind of conclusion if they were literally anything.

I'm going to have wet dreams about this.

Dr. Football is anon (Ragatha fan)

>>149104034
I want to cuddle her and give her a shoulder to cry on

>>149104034
She's so cute, bros. I'm not ready to see her abstract

>>149104034
Flat chested.

>>149101248
it is a little strange but consider this: she probably realized that it's a hinderance to be on bad terms with any of the circus members. there's not many of them and they have nobody for company except each other. might as well try to be on good terms with everybody that you're going to be stuck with for quite possibly eternity, regardless of how they might have treated you in the past few adventures

>>149100741
Harming people with a weapon is universal and kitchen knives are readily available everywhere, not a case for guns, and they make for a better impact the visual for violence since you have to get close and personal.

>>149104085

>>149104034
I didn’t think I could get *this* into a fictional character at this point in my life but here we are. Yeah.

>>149104071
You mean you haven't already? Step it up; you're better than this

>>149099708
She probably going to show signs of a strating but thanks to the power of friendship she reverts back to normal.
No way they are going to let her fully abstract

>>149103862
The question still is, what is he thinking here? Ragatha just apologized and this was his reaction, an opposite to how reacted the first time.

>>149103878
NTA but I also assumed that's what they were going for. The creator is trans so it's really not surprising.

>>149099637 (OP)
I lost interest in the show after the third episode.

Now Gaslight District. That appeals to my inner 14 year old that likes violence, skulls and frantic action.

I watched the pilot for this show and I kinda liked it but it felt like a whole shitton of Isekai I've seen before. I know it gets an insane amount of views from kids but is it actually worth viewing as an adult?

Ragatha is an evil bitch.

>>149099692
I felt like they were out of ideas since episode 4. I honestly quite liked episode 5 cause I already had low expectations. Alot of it caught me off guard

Evil Pomni is a virgin.

>>149104034
Now that her cheeks are canonically breachable, now what Ragafags?

>>149104134
>i hope he is the only one who does he deserves to yell that final fuck you in glorious THX quality and uncensored
I would personally write both Goose and Glitch a thank you letter.

>>149104185
It's alright, I think it's pretty competently written and the quality is high. Episode 2s gumigoo stuff is good, and episode 3 was the "rock lee weights" moment for me personally. But it's going to vary from person to person.

I cannot fucking wait for Ragatha to die in the next one. This episode cemented her as by far the worst character in the show.

>b-but sexo!!!

Don't care. Terrible people don't deserve my semen.

>>149104245
>ragatha is terrible because??? and I hope she dies
>no mention of jax who constantly abuses everyone
you're either a psycho or a troll, and either way you're a faggot

>>149104245
>>149104298
Normalfags can’t comprehend Ragatha.

>>149104298
>>149104312
I've literally known women who are just like Ragatha. They are not good people.

>>149104245
They aren't going to kill off any of the main cast. I could see them writing in a new character that pomni tries to help out, only for them to abstract.

>>149104337
>They aren't going to kill off any of the main cast

Oh you poor sweet innocent child

>>149104356
The only real 'deaths' are people who died offscreen before the first episode, or gumigoo the episode he was introduced.

>>149104298
>One constantly brings up trauma and the possibility of dying for good
>The other uses their immortality for slapstick humor

"I wonder why people like Jax more?"-(You)

TOTAL RAGATHA DEATH

>>149104326
Nah I know what you’re talking about, that ain’t Ragatha.

>>149104356
The fact the abstracted characters are just in storage effectively means nobody actually has died yet. NPCs don’t count either because they just get respawned,
So even if main characters get abstracted, they’ll be cured in the finale.

>>149104442
Anon, don't be fooled. You know how it ends.

>>149099637 (OP)
I feel the opposite i feel this this episode was the most focused one.
I also have a theory that if they relax they get to be dree hence why Cain dosnt want them being chill

>>149104431
you are a psychopath.

>>149104454
Either the show kills her for drama or she’s resolved, yeah.

>>149104431
>Constantly
Are you in crack?

Pomni looks better in a dress than Ragatha.

>>149104513
>>149104541
You will lose due to insincerity, just like Raggy

>>149104242
I say this without total ignorance, but, wtf is naruto?
Don't actually answer that, I don't care
>>149104356
I don't see a future where this show ends without a happy ending.

>>149104298
I like ragatha but all this well lead into her abtstracting to serve as a way to motivate them to get out

>>149104576
sexo?

I was at the TADC voice actor panel and afterwards as I was leaving I nearly passed right by Marissa Lenti. I was dressed in a big goofy Caine cosplay and I told her thanks for coming out for the panel and she said thanks back. Would have almost missed entirely
Typical Gangle <3

>>149104592
>wtf is naruto

Holy mother of zoom zoom

I just don’t get what Jax is even trying to achieve at this stage.

>>149104592
>but, wtf is naruto?
Trolling is against the rules

>>149104610
How was the panel itself?

>>149104629
He's trying to distract himself from his thoughts to keep himself from abstracting.

>>149104629
Everybody has their own way of coping, his is being a dick.

>>149099664
How could you possibly not be able to make a whole episode out of playing baseball with evil clones...

>>149100262
>we let her doodle in the margins of this episode, as a joke
ngl pretty funny if true. We couldn't get chris chan in smiling friends, but this is pretty good I guess.

>>149099637 (OP)
>want to write episode where Jax and Pomni bond
>instead write half a dozen small scenes where they keep having other shit happen
>get slivers of character development in between some okay gags
I know it gets said over and over that this isn't a show with a big, complex, mysterious plot. I know there's not hidden messages and secrets to find by combing over every frame. I know it's supposed to be more gags than melodrama... But why the fuck did we get that whole stargazing scene and then the bar scene, and then Ragatha staring and then Disappearing guy staring.... Why are we being told over and over what the show isn't and then getting this mystery box shit?

>>149101212
>The hype is on life support
>still getting more than ten million views in a day

I have yet to meet anyone who wants to fuck Zooble.

>>149104772
Why would anyone want to fuck a person who looks like someone made a sculpture of Mr. Potato head while high on acid?

>>149104772
We've had several in these very threads including an architecture student apparently.

>>149104245
90% of the time if deathflags for a character start getting this blatant it's actually a sign that they won't actually die because they wouldn't have made it so obvious.

>>149102358
Hey, Pomni's in this!

>>149104743
Anon stop pretending its by design that they are in a world where they cant get a break Cain himself panicks on a mere tought that they are gonna relax, hence why he starts throwing them all over other adventures in hopes of them not liking them and not getting allong because they arent ""his""" he is there to prove them that their ideas suck Jax , Pomni and ragatha all of them have the focus even with the facial movment.

Am I the only one who's just tired of subversive attempts at writing in general?
>Le bully is... le good guy
>Le good natured person is... le bad guy

>>149104837
Aye.
There’s a fine line. Raise to many red flags and if actually just becomes a roundabout and has the opposite affect.
>Yeah they are pushing this way to hard, she’s gonna be fine
It’s even worse if you’ve already had people die with red flags before.

>>149104743
The weirdest thing about this bonding is Pomni early in the episode grumpily deflects Jax by reminding him that he threw her out of a truck.
No apology is given for that, and it’s never brought up again

>>149104637
It was pretty good, they wanted to do a watch along of ep 5 but bad scheduling and Q&A overtime didn't make it happen. They actually ended 15 minutes early lol.
Some VAs definitely brough more energy than others. Lizzie and Amanda were hyped. Ashley I think is genuinely a fat bitch, so it makes sense a character like Zooble comes naturally to her. Michael Kovach was Michael Movach.
Alex Rochon apparently got very pissed off. I was one of the three Caines you see pictured, I wanted a group photo with all of us but one of them was autistic and tried to drag Rochon into it. The golf cart he and most of the other VAs were riding on peeled out lol.
IDK why Marissa was solo hoofing. She had a suitcase, maybe she was going to the airport. It was nice to have an organic moment like that though lol.

>>149104614
Opposite, actually, gen x. I only know 90s animes and voltron

>>149104580
I’m being authentic, wat

>>149104903
It was just Jax wants her to relax and express her real feelings and not hold them so she dosnt abstract, ragatha wants jax to be nicer.
It just one over th other the whole argument at the end is about that

>>149104934
You guys all look really good, sorry to hear Alex got angry, he had a bad experience at the last con he was at and is still touchy I guess.

>>149100349
I understood that reference but I will be very upset if this is just straight up "quirky IHNMAIMS".

It only appears that Ragatha is in the dumps because next episode will end Jax.

>>149104610
>>149104637
Should clarify this was a panel at Washington State Summercon in Puyallup WA
Here's the best shot of the panel I could get from where I was sitting. I could have moved closer but I didn't want to look too autistically obsessed

>>149105056
I want to hug him. He needs a fucking hug. Even if he thinks he doesn't want one.

>>149104629
Why does he need to accomplish something? Can't he just have a friend?

>>149104924
That's the thing that kinda fucks with this idea that Jax is secretly trying to do anything or that he's playing 64D chess to help protect the other characters or whatever. Every single thing we've seen from him has been unmistakable cruel, manipulative, and often aggressive. No one else ever gets as angry as Jax gets when he's not allowed to have his way. But this episode paints it like every single act of dickery up til now, to the point that every other character has beef with him, is because that's just how he shows he cares, or whatever.

>>149104903
It’s not even being handled well here

Jax is being exclusively ok with Pomni. He’s still being an asshole to the other three girls, especially Gangle. So all these “actually nice” moments are not actually excusing his awful moments.
Ragatha is pushed to be mean, and then they get upset when she’s mean. She explains in great detail her insecurities so nobody there should be confused at this stage about why she’s like how she is. It’s shown she’s not even alone because the softball game has Gangle, Zooble and Kinger all give her validation. It’s just Pomni being weird around her but she’s been weird around Ragatha since episode 1 for really no reason at that point

>>149105061
I figured you meant that con since you mentioned the ep 5 premier. That's a great pic you got, I'm super jealous haha

>>149105061
Not looking autistic at a con can be difficult sometimes. Nearly made myself look like a retard in front of jeffery combs and Keith David once.

>>149104772
ive literally doodled drawings of ripping off Zoobles limbs and fucking her like a giant onahole that I was too ashamed to share with anyone

>>149099637 (OP)
Is that his leg or a ridiculously large erection?

>>149105153
How would you feel if a total stranger tried to convince you that everything was fine and dandy when you're trapped in a nightmarish hellhole where you are constantly mentally tortured, from which there is no escape?

I'd probably not want to hang out with her either.

>>149105186
I embarrassed myself in front of Jeffrey Combs once a long time ago and I still cringe thinking about it, dude is so nice.

>>149104772
I don't really WANT to fuck zooble but I WOULD if the opportunity arose.

>>149105153
Yeah, I'm not really feeling it. Jax is a cunt to everyone all the time. Even if he's only kinda casually teasing to Pomni, she still watches him be an unrepentant asshole to all the other nice people who have never tried to do anything bad to her. Is this supposed to make Pomni look like a bad person? Because it kinda does. It's certainly not making Jax look better, and it's fucking weird that we're supposed to think there's something wrong with Ragatha for doing her best to be sweet and kind and positive as best she can.

>>149104466
>I also have a theory that if they relax they get to be dree hence why Cain dosnt want them being chill
its really weird how he pointed out that them being comfortable was somehow a bad thing but I wanna think he was referring more to how everyone was better off with their own ideas of a good time than his and him starting to freak out over no longer being needed to do his job

>>149105093
Bro is gonna break down once he gets a proper hug

I want all the characters to be saved, even Jax.

>>149105296
Its a part of that he was scared that their own ideas work since he is most likely therapy ai sure it bothers him its their ideas that work and not his but i also think part of that is the theory that they are gonna get a door to freedom if they are in a relaxed state of mind, or if they relaxed they die for real who knows maybe cain is good and not an evil therapy ai going crazy

I’ve seen so many retarded takes on Ragatha I’m about to crash out in the form of a multi-post essay.

>>149105290
>she still watches him be an unrepentant asshole to all the other nice people
This is my problem with this whole set up right here. Jax is being an absolute cunt to the others most of the time and he treats the npcs like shit. Pomni has shown care and compassion for the npcs like Gummigoo so you would think she would feel bad when Jax literally tries to tear apart Evil Jax but no she laughs as if it doesn't hurt him and he isn't screaming.
That made Pomni look like a total bitch and Ragatha was right to give her a look for it.

>>149105296
>>149105368
The comprehension lately for what characters mean has been fucking awful lately.
Caine meant that it's a bad thing because they don't like his ideas and prefer their own which means he's not needed.

>>149105381
Do it, Anon. I wanna hear your take on why Ragatha doesn't deserve a brutally violent and prolonged painful death.

>>149105296
Cain's only purpose is to make adventures and keep the players entertained. Knowing that they can exist in the circus just fine without him or without his creations is probably making him think that he doesn't actually have a reason to exist. If anything is going to push Caine into "I have no mouth" AM territory, it's going to be that.

This show is a wonderful example of why waifufagging is a terrible idea.
Kids don't get attached so autisticly to character that you blind yourself to the fact that they could change and things could happen to them through the series.

>>149105381
>multi-post essay
Do it. Screencap it and post it anytime someone is being a dumb bitch. I'm sick of it too.

>>149105403
Jax dosnt give a fuck about npcs i think its part of being vindictive and angry at being forced into all of this by Cain, you could make maybe argue that he does it to also not get attached to the world because it would not only hurt but annoy him, Who knows how long he has been here

>>149104114
This, and while Jax takes things too far sometimes, he's at least the most willing to be lax and joke around, its at least ONE outlet for their stresses and anxiety to laugh a bit and talk shit sometimes.

As things are, the only one who was even actively avoiding Jax before was Zooble, the others still included him in most things even during their off time because as you say, there's not much point holding grudges when you're stuck with the same people for eternity.

>>149105450
>>149105475
Ragatha nuke is being constructed.

>>149104245
didn't goose say next ep was the jax torment episode?>>149105296

>>149105445
Yes but as stated its part of him since he is an ai that controls but its also part of the structure of this world.
Existance of abstracting implies existance of the opposite like angel ebats style or just the break down of the simulation as Cain losses his purpose.

>>149105533
Yes. Ragatha is going to die and it is going to break Jax.

>>149105296
> them being comfortable was somehow a bad thing
he said that in reference to them enjoying the suggestion box adventures more than his, not just them being happy in general.

>>149105504
Right, I get that but Pomni does care about npcs so her being fine with Jax tearing up evil Jax and laughing on it reflects badly on her.

>>149105403
Episode 1, Pomni is anxious and trying to cope with the horror of her situation
Episode 2, Pomni isn't coping well until she meets an NPC who has it even worse than her. She tries to do something genuinely kind for him, but also learns that the rest of the circus goers (minus Jax) are there to help her and support her. (Jax's hand is the only one that doesn't show up in Pomni's symbolic dream/vision about being pulled out from abstraction)
Episode 3, Jax purposefully throws Pomni into danger again, but Pomni ends up creating a genuine connection that shows she does care and she is a good person who is just struggling with the endless horrors, but now she truly knows that she has friends here.
Episode 4, Pomni resolves some of her NPC related trauma. She goes along with the adventure and shows compassion and kindness for Gangle (but kinda ignores Ragatha, Jax, and Zooble the entire time lmao)
Episode 5, Pomni decides Jax deserves her attention and Ragatha needs an attitude adjustment and also understanding and compassion and just going along with the fun of the adventure doesn't matter this time. Despite reaching out to everyone before when they're having a bad time, she ignores Ragatha's obvious needs for support and goes to fuck off with the guy who has been nothing but a pain in her and everyone else's ass the whole time.

>>149105563
I say tearing apart a evil clone version of yourself that a ai that messed up with your mind created is a pretty good outlet to laugh at

>>149103823
And Jax's backstory is that he's a faggot and that's why his circus form is a tumblr sexy man rabbit. Send post.

>>149105596
even if it still has feelings and can feel pain?

>>149105583
Pomni is a cunt.

>>149105403
>Pomni has shown care and compassion for the npcs like Gummigoo
That doesn’t automatically turn into an “all NPCs are besties” policy. Pomni dishes out what people do to her, but doesn’t intervene if it doesn’t involve her directly. Jax killing his evil alt is a neutral action to her because 1) it doesn’t involve her 2) it doesn’t hurt any players 3) it’s literally jax on jax violence.

>>149105607
Pomni is at the stage like some of the posters here that they know they can respawn and a "evil" clone that mocks your personality is a valid target. It was suppose to be her embracing atleast a bit of jax and relax even in chaos

>>149105603
jax deserves to be thrown to the tumblerinas

>>149105533
>next ep was the jax torment
As opposed to the last 2? How many jax torment episodes are there?

>>149105628
It could be argued that the Gumigoo thing has taught her not to care about NPCs as much because they will just be reset for the next adventure. No point crying over evil Jax getting mauled when he's about to cease to exist the second they leave. It's cruel, in a way, but she's already learned what happens when she cares too much about NPCs.

>>149105623
Ragatha get off 4chan

>>149104772
I was the Anon that got dubs and zerked it to her, I love her.

>>149105672
TADC is just one long jax torment episode.

>>149105680
this does not bode well for anyone feeling bad for caine if the shit hits the fan

>>149105707
If you really love them, then you would use their proper pronoun.

>>149105721
Zooble accepts any pronouns according to Goose

>>149105711
Why the fuck would anyone feel bad for Caine if something bad happened to him?

>>149104772
Hello

>>149105583
Pomni is a realistic written female

>>149105583
Pomni is female.

Pomni can’t be a harpy because then we’d just have two ragathas and where’s the fun in that

I kinda feel like the baseball thing should have been an entire episode, there isn't enough of the "evil" cast
evil kinger only has 2 lines

>>149105801
I think the baseball bit should’ve been dropped because we wasted screen time on NPCs instead of the actual cast

https://x.com/philosophaire_/status/1936603453150695723

Is this thread dead?

>>149105607
Listen man it’s either:
>NPC gets CAINE’d and dies at the end of the adventure
>NPC gets JAX’d and dies at the end of the adventure
The end result is the same and it’s not anyone we actually care about. So it’s fine if Jax kills Jax

>>149105737
it seems mean spirited not too since he is also basically a person with feelings but yeah youre right they dont really have to feel bad for him

>>149105801
Judging by the cast, it'd just be Kinger, Rag, and Pomni swearing throughout. I don't think there was any team dynamic with Team Evil. Jax had more scenes with them than they with each other.

>>149105834
Not soon.

>>149105841
>npc exists not in pain for a little bit then poofs out of existence

Hey.

Those people are retarded and are not worth considering on any level

Such a sourpuss.

I'm gonna vote for pomni

if i was in the digital circus i would kill jax with hammers

>>149105975
10/10 I got to see my fetish this episode

>>149099637 (OP)
Was Jax a cat before he got dragged into the circus? (or he was a cat femboy into anime)

>>149102478
An entertaining watch, but it indulges in winking at it's fanbase so often, it can become annoying.
Gooseworx has some fun characters, both in designs and writing, but how often they go
>"whoa, look, Jax is in a maid dress!"
>"What do YOU think happens when Jax holds his breath?"
>"Haha, here they are as slice of life anime in school!"
Like, just... write a god damn show. You're good at that. Stop reminding me how cringe the fanbase is when Im watching it.

>>149105989
You lucky bastard, I hope to get my reprehensible fetish on the show's next episode

>>149103878
not that anon but wait till you hear my explanation on why he lost his fucking shit being put in a dress to the point of murder. He hated being a woman (makes sense) and now he gets to be a shitty dude like he always dreamed of and its why he's fucking cagey about his past and hates soft girly shit.

>>149106011
>dubs
There's a chance!

>>149106088
Wouldn’t it be more logical to read this as Jax being a closet mtf tranny like Gooseworx or just a closet faggot in general

naw if that were the case he could have just picked a girl name at the start and just said i'm a girl and nobody could say shit about it. Instead we have the name Jax which is as butch of a name as you can get outside of fucking Brick, or Hank or something.

okay Zooble is a non binary dyke that dabbles in the more masc side but doesn't know if it works out for her him they????

>show where everyone has a million hangups and no one can say what they want outright
>but jax would be super honest with himself and pick a girl avatar because…..?
did the definition of “closet faggot” drop out of your head and die or are we not watching the same show

should at least have heterochromatia

Some artist get it and some dont bother, The eye detail is what I like about this drawing

>>149106425
this art just made me realise i have mild ptosis. I didn't know this had a name i thought my eye was just like that.

Idk but I like evil ragatha more, she funny as hell

Ragatha is pure sex, imagine how it feels to fuck her warm plushy body. When is someone going to make a heated stuffed sex doll of her? I'd fork out the money for it.

I guess we're moving to the stinky Pomni thread?

You think she runs hot?

>>149106625
fuck no, make a better one and actually link it here

You're a moron. The show still gets millions and outperforms all of Glitch's other shows constantly with consistently successful merch lines.

She LITERALLY did? Pomni expressed her appreciation for Ragatha in Episode 3, tried to talk to her in Episode 5 and let Ragatha go up to bat instead of her. Pomni became consistently sweet to Ragatha, it's not her fault that Ragatha is a mess and wants to police what Pomni does with her life.

>>149102214
Look at how they act. Ragatha gets mad at the mere idea of Pomni tolerating Jax while Jax doesn't show to give a single damn what Pomni does. Pomni opening up to Jax a little bit was only a matter of time, she did it to everyone else.

>>149106004
That isn't a fanbase wink, Goose herself confirmed that shit like Jax being a maid was pure self indulgence.

You can have body dysmorphia without being trans

>>149105153
Ragatha babies Pomni all the time and tries too hard to be a "hypeman" for her. Of course Pomni would be weird about her, she's a 25 year old woman going through HELL.

Pomni connected with Gummigoo because he wasn't a shallow character. Caine himself confirmed that he made the AI more realistic for that adventure. Evil Jax is LITERALLY a one dimensional parody of Jax. NPCs are not automatically besties just because she bonded with one NPC.
