1. It’s unfunny as shit, the show has no original humor, only references memes, and does stuff to please its fandom of dumfucks like "haha Jax is a maid LOL", fuck the casts humor too, Alex Rochon thinks "haha Caine says Skibidi Toilet so funny", and they wonder why children eat this shit up.
2. The designs suck ass, they look like they were designed by a 14 year old on Roblox, and yet again Goose wonders why it’s only kids who watch this brainrot, these designs don’t look out of place next to shit like Sprunki at bootleg toy stores.
3. The lore is shit, typical mascot horror garbage, also fuck Gangle, she’s a clear attempt to pander to the 2016 tumblrite audience, her mask looks so fucking punchable, I want to punch her in the fucking mask till she cries. I hope she abstracts next so the fandom seethes hard.
4. It’s a baby show for adults, did you see the latest episode? They told Jax that bullying Gangle is wrong, they’re straight up teaching lessons of friendship in this so called "adult show".

There are some positives, the animation and expressions could look good when they aren’t trying to make the next reaction image, and I like Caine, but all in all this show is shit, it’s like the failed abortion between Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared and Popee the Performer (and Popee was the one drinking while pregnant cause that show is shit too).

Actually, I'm kinda relieved that people who dislike TADC feel comfortable to do so.
By contrast - have you ever seen anyone criticize stuff like Gumball outside of 4chan? Despite that show being nothing more than post-irony, Elsagate-tier brainrot slop, people will eat you alive the second you speak out. Even here shittalking said cartoon will attract screeching schizos who won't take no for an answer.

Nah, healthy hatedom is a sign that the show isn't pure mind poison spread across the masses.

>>149122884 (OP)

this cattleslop is a symptom of a much larger problem. the creator and others like him are simply checking the boxes to make viral products. cynically made, cynically produced, nothing-content. No meaningful plot, depthless characters that can only ever be acclaimed for what they are, never who they are.

trash like this that is cranked out can never stand on critical merit and the creators know it, so it has to check every box it can to illicit interest somehow. much like Hazbin and the cattleslop before it, it is doomed to remain a vapid source of cheap giggles and crotch massaging, with no one to praise it on any artistic metric. Everyone knows its shit even the fans

Can’t blame you for saying most indietoons are shit though, to 90% of people online the only indietoons that exist are Helluva Boss, Hazbin Hotel, Digital Circus and sometimes Lackadaisy, that’s it

I thought that the show was going to go deep into the whole "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" trope and play around with it.

I have yet to see that happen in the whole show.

Designs play a bigger part in a product than you may think. Digital Circuses designs look simplistic and colorful, which is one of the biggest reasons why kids consume the shit out of this show. Why else do you think they’re used as fodder by bootleg-selling gift stands at the mall? This is why shit like Poppy Playtime, Rainbow Friends, and Sprunki all gain audiences of IPad kids. Digital Circuses designs needed more thought put into them so they wouldn’t fall into the same category as these, I will admit Caine is the only good-looking design in the show, with his cartoony body and such, that’s why most of his expressions land, I wish the rest of the designs were as good as his.

Does the show even count as adult animation? They make jokes about how they can’t swear and the show’s rated PG on Netflix.

Like giving credit where credit is due if this does count as a kids show at least it dosent feel oversanitized and safe like any modern cartoon on television, that’s one of the benefits of indie animation.

There's very little else to watch. It might not -be- good, but scarcity makes it just as good as anything else. Same reason people still watch hazbin and helluva; absolutely terrible shows on a vacuum, but with the way things are nowadays, any show that doesn't make you physically ill is a fair way to waste 22 minutes.

Digital circus is weird because it has decent character design and as far as structure goes it does feel like it's trying to get good sometimes, but then it proceeds to immediately kill its own momentum. Which if that was the point then more power to it, but it clearly isn't that type of hyper-experimental show, it wants to have its plot As and plot Bs and character development and continuity and lore juggled with random humor and witty character interactions, but they don't fill the air with enough noise ironically enough, so for most episodes it just feels like it drags on and on. Rare case in which I think a 15-minute format or even an 11-minute format would do it wonders.

Looking back, the closest to an episode proper is the kingler one.

If you haven't noticed, Zoomer/Alphie humor isn't mature because they themselves aren't mature. Have you ever watched a "funny" movie, or told a joke to a 4-year-old before? They'll laugh at anything and think it's hilarious because they think that's what they are supposed to do. It's purely performative. Now it's a whole generation that never grew out of 4-year-old humor.

One issue with those three designs that bugs me is the fact that they have circular heads, IMO that’s kinda lazy character design, it may seem like a small detail but it cause their designs to be less unique and appear more amateur-like, think about it, you know what other kind of design has circular heads? Roblox slop like Rainbow Friends and brainrot shit like Sprunki. Jax definitely has a unique idea going for him with his face, but his body shape ruins the design. I’m not saying a character design with a circular head can’t work, there’s tons of well-known characters with round heads, it just needs to be executed well, especially in a cartoon that’s supposed to be expressive like TADC.

Her head isn’t circle shaped, it has a sharp ridge on it, when I say "circular" I mean a head with a full circle. Her design is fine and UPA-like, and is an example of a good character design with a somewhat circular head.

in the case with Jax his head is oval, at least. I understand the criticism, though I dont think its entirely fair to apply it to ragatha as well since she's supposed to look like a doll. I think you have a stronger argument against Pomni's head and Jax's general body shape.

Retard, you’re telling me you’d rather consume poorly designed Roblox-tier characters over well-designed characters, you’re telling me you’d rather laugh at poorly written meme jokes rather than clever, well thought-out humor?

I didn’t even state that Digital Circus is entirely bad, I said that their are some things to like about it, and I definitely do check out new episodes everytime they release in the small chance that the series stops being shit, cause even though the people behind it are unfunny as shit the series is pretty competent. In fact, when compared to the rest of the Big 3 of indie cartoons (Digital Circus, Hazbin Hotel, and Helluva Boss, yes it sucks ass how two of the big three are basically the same thing), it’s honestly the best of the trio, I can’t bring myself to check out FagzShit Hotel or Shitsmelluva Boss

I thought the first 2 episodes were very fun (especially 2) and the third one was sweet but the last two have been kind of meh. I like the surrealism and it still looks gorgeous but the aesthetics and general vibe are starting to clash with how serious the writing is getting; I'm sorry Glitch writers but you are simply not good enough to make me care about the psychological turmoil of Zooble, a sentient pile of children's toys. I hope the show stays more on the dark surrealist slapstick angle

Remember how hard she seethed on Xitter when content farms were making Elsagate videos on Digital Circus? It was inevitable when her character designs look so shit, you don’t see any content farms milking the shit out of Gaslight District cause that show has an artstyle that dosen't look like something out of a brainrot mascot horror game.

Industrycucks are so pathetic. You will never convince me to hate this show, I will only ever hate you instead.

I’m not an industrycuck, retard, in fact I feel that despite not being a big fan of the characters designs, they certainly look better than any beanmouth or Fox cartoon style slop by industrycucks these days.

That would’ve been a fair point if they weren’t marketed towards iPad kids

TADC is pretty much a self-indulgent fantasy created by a tranny, the creator also posts his weird fetishes on his social media so i don't doubt that he adds fetish shit to his show

What the fuck do y’all see in Pomni? Jerking off to her is like jerking off to Minnie Mouse. The fact that fapping her has been normalized just shows how low we’ve sunk, only horny tweens and autists find her hot. Dosent help that content farms are pushing the idea that she’s built like a goddess to them.

really the only thing wrong with tadc is the pacing and exposition, everyone ranting in this thread is fucking retarded and never watched it or has an insane gripe with it.

I don't like that the writer is a troon but this is the least gay shit I have ever seen a troon make so I am willing to ignore it.

Everything created by a troon is inherently artificial and meaningless because to create true art you need to have an understanding of the world around you and use your experiences to create a transformative thing, meanwhile troons have no understanding of the world and inherently live in imaginary life where nothing matters except whatever they're feeling in the moment

The only writers are the show runners btw, glitch doesn't hire separate writers for their shows
