Fun fact: Caine is voiced by Alex Rochon, who prior to this, has done popular fandubs of Spamton. So he has experience voicing a mentally unstable and glitchy character.
In MasakoX’s Revelation F, Alex also voiced a corrupted A.I. that used to host a Space Resort before Freeza let it go to waste. I believe it’s name was Diera.
Also a fun fact: Alex Rochon was once known as the Autarch of Flame and used to do Top 10 lists here on UA-cam. He’s also good friends with another favorite UA-camr of mine, Joshscorcher.
Caine is my favorite. Confirmed to just “not understand humans” He seems like he’s trying to help. Like he legitimately made an exit door, but couldn’t actually find a way out to put behind it.
@@falsnamae3511 I'm thinking the reason Caine's fake exit looks like a bunch of office rooms is because the only thing Caine knows about the real world is security footage from the building the computer holding the circus exists in.
Now the real question is: does he "not understand humans" because he's a wholly constructed digital being? Or because he's a human who has spent so long in the Digital Circus, he's divorced from the human experience to the point he doesn't realize how fucked up everything is? My money is on the latter. The lovingly recreated office complex tells me Caine was drawing on real memories of the Real World, as he remembered it. If the "C&A" logo is anything to go by (Caine & Abel?). He's probably the first being trapped in a digital world of his own (or the company's) making. He's not _malicious,_ per se. Indeed, he is _trying_ to help in the only way he knows how. It's just...well, as stated, he's been here too long to remember what it's like for a human to be trapped here. Perhaps mixed with a genuine desire to foster levity in his "charges", to maintain their emotional state. It doesn't occur to him that maybe making a joke or adventure out of everything isn't what these people need right now.
If you really want your mind blown: go into the video's settings -> audio track and realize that there are actually 9 different dubs for the whole thing. This must have taken so much money to produce, but it was all worth it. Hope we don't have to wait too long for the next episode.
@@sirfrog3579 i get what you mean, don’t take it the wrong way. There’s just a few moments where Caine was too much and Pomni was too much even. I like the times where there characters broke like when Caine shouted that bubbles was a parasite, and when Pomni went back to check on Ragatha she was really sweet and nervous. Other than that I love the characters.
@@team4star1 Fair enough, but like...that is totally the point of the show in general, and ESPECIALLY Caine. Caine is a classic Looney Tunes/Tom & Jerry cartoons character in personality, but his creepy visage and scarring animations reflect not only how odd and freaky older animations used to be but also just serves up the 'wtf is going on?!' vibe the show is going for. I'm not sure I see what you mean with Pomni, she's just out here going from 'I put on a headset for a cool VR game' to 'I'm now stuck being a weird-looking jester in a horrid colorful world where everything is a nightmare and I have no control at all and can't escape' and sells it really well.
@@ForsakenMemories45 I didn’t give examples of the things I disliked, I pointed to the things I actually like about the characters. As an example I disliked when Caine did the maniacal laughter, and at a certain point where Pomni is having like a fifth mental breakdown I was like ‘ok kid you’re 14 and this is deep, get over it’. I don’t hate these things I just have a very minor annoyance towards them. Because otherwise the animations sound effects writing and voice acting are great, but sometimes they could’ve reeled these character traits in just a little. I know I’m nitpicking but I’m just trying to explain it so you can understand my point. Sorry if I came off as rude.
My favorite little bit about this show so far is the decision to not make Caine evil. Like it would have been so easy to make him a villain who's trying to keep everyone locked up for nefarious reasons but instead he's only lying about the exit because he doesn't actually understand the concept of leaving the computer he was created in and tries to make something he thinks everyone will like. It's more interesting to me than him being the bad guy and it's just a funny concept that I can relate to
Remember, Caine’s exit shows the same office and computer with headset that Pomni was implied to use to enter the Digital Circus. How does Caine know about that? I think Caine has to be lying, whether straight up lying by pretending the Exit isn’t real or by lying through omission by omitting the fact that he didn’t create it by himself. He must’ve used some pre-existing asset for it, meaning something relating to that room already existed.
And Eldridge abomination that genuinely wants to help, but is unable due to its own lack of knowledge of the human condition. He’s programmed to want nothing other then your happiness but is unable to achieved this due you only wanting to wake up from this “dream”. It’s strange that Bing Bong from “Inside out” is the closest comparison I can find.
I love this show. Kinger and Jax are my favorites so far. It's amazing how far Glitch Productions has come and how much love and support they've been getting. I can't wait to see where this goes next, and I hope Pomni can keep her sanity.
I love the subtle human details they gave to everyone; caine's mouth functioning as his eyebrows while matching his tone, pomni's double takes when she's surprised or confused, ragatha reflexively brushing her hair out of the way, jax being out of breath for running around, zooble's body language compensating for a lack of facial expression, kinger's eyes getting increasingly bloodshot the longer he goes without blinking, and gangle brushing her tears off her mask.
@@falsnamae3511 I had to go back and watch the trailer because I couldn't remember how to spell their names, but glad they had fun with it too! It looks like each was animated after a particular fashion of animation; ragatha being claymation, jax being rubberhose, pomni being motion capture . . . then again maybe not since I can't pin kinger or zooble into that, oh well.
Something to point out that not a lot of people seem to have noticed. Jax, while still being an asshat, seems to be looking out for the others. I mean look at his action. He knows something might be up with their Kaufmo. So puts the two most unstable characters together on a mostly harmless adventure. Then when he knows Kaufmo has Abstracted. He instantly runs off to find and protect those two again. Lying to them to keep them from panicking. Then pushing them down the hole only after he hears Coughmo on a rampage. Later on he gets antsy when he notices a glitching Gloink. Indicating Kaufmo might be following it down there and similar behavior. Now it would be easy to say he is just an jerk trying to save his own skin, but his actions don't really match that. If that were the case he'd probably kept running instead of stopping, jumped down the hole on his own or crept away on his own when Kaufmo broke through the ceiling. However he doesn't. So it seems like there is more depth to the character then what we see. Also since not a lot of people point this out. Gooseworx has also done a few animations and music on their channel. So you should check that out in your own time and see what you think.
The fact it took one episode just to grab a colossal amount of attention is really a mind boggler, and me being invested in the lore i'm already pouring all my luck in for these guys to make this even more mind boggling.
I KNOWWWW more than 300 million views in the FIRST MONTH is absolutely insane, and Gooseworx deserves the love and attention TADC has gotten, even now with the Netflix deal where TADC is also on Netflix (and still on UA-cam) and Netflix has a licensing agreement that pays HER for them to show it there, to reach a wider audience. Her hard work and dreams have paid off!
So I heard that the idea for this show was basically, “let’s retell I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, but the all powerful AI is actually nice this time.”
It's an interesting idea to be inspired by one of if not the darkest tale in all of fiction. But then give it a colorful art style and a lot of humor to mix with the horror.
In this show, the fun never ends! Endless fun! Endless adventures! Endless games! And the best part? YOU can get to be a part of it! And you’ll always be a part of it no matter what! AND YOURE NEVER GONNA LEAVE IT. THE FUN N E V E R ENDS.

It really feels like we're watching FMV cutscenes from one of those weird, experimental platformers you'd find during the early days of the PlayStation or Sega Saturn (except it's in HD, of course).
Here's a spot of trivia for you lot: Kinger is voiced by the same person who did the voicework for Noob Saibot in Mortal Kombat 11! Due has got range like you wouldn't believe!
@@eliousef4235Don't forget that Michael Kovach also voices Rocky in Lackadaisy! And the voice of Zooble, Ashley Nichols, was a cleanup artist on the Hazbin pilot, the Addict AMV, and Lackadaisy.
@@elias.tEither that, or she feels personally responsible for ruining Pomni's first day at the circus. It was her idea to check on Kaufmo and introduce Pomni to him, after all. In the end, she likely felt that Pomni hasn't come to terms with her new reality yet and decided to keep some distance, both out of guilt and to give Pomni a minute to process.
Fun fact: Gooseworx also composed the score. I think that writing music is her first trade and has been known to do OST for a lot of indie animation. She did it for Hazbin Hotel, in fact. That's at least how I first found out about her, so I was surprised to learn that she was also a writer, artist, and animator. Not many people can claim to do all of that and then some
This pilot has quite the cast I believe pomni’s VA was in rent a girlfriend, Jax’s VA was angel dust in the hazbin hotel pilot and Kinger’s voiced noob saibot in mk11
Hi, Alicia. Thank you for this video, you are great as usual. A little interesting detail: a name "Pomni" resembles a russian word "Помни" (which means "Remember" in russian). And here I wonder: was that intentional or just a happy coincidence? Maybe someone knows, I don't) But if it was just a coincidence, well... It fits right in...
Without spoiling it for anyone who maybe hasn't seen the second and third episodes, but memory and belonging/friendship seem to be core concepts for Pomni's character.
Fun fact Kinger asking Zooble if she experienced a gameshow when she was eaten is a reference to some of gooseworks prior animations. Little Runmo and Elaine the Bounty Hunter
Fun fact I've learned today: XDDCC, when placed through a Ceasar Cipher, it comes out as "OUT" and Pomni in Russian is "remember". Thought that would be interesting to know.
I'm so happy you watched this, I think I watched the pilot about a dozen times already and I love it every time I watch it. Hopefully Glitch manages to make it into a full series in the future. Also fun fact: in the spanish dub when Caine is telling Pomni the fine print about choosing a name, he says that the name can't be transphobic nor have hate speech in it (it also specifies to not put references to dubbing in it, which is an inside joke in the VA industry around here lol)
It's going to be 100% a series, I was watching a reaction from gangle voice actor (a vtuber) and at some point she said, "oooh so that's why my lines are like that on the other episodes" or something close to that
Not only is it a series, Netflix also picked it up and is paying Gooseworx a licensing agreement to carry it! So Gooseworx is definitely getting the love and attention TADC deserves!
i'm glad you watched it, and i think this is a good way to be introduced to their channel i was hoping you would one day watch one of their other shows called "murder drones" so now that you know of them the chance for that to happen increases
Here is some trivia you might like to hear. There are three Hazbin Hotel pilot episode associates here. Jax is voiced by Micheal Kovach (voice of Angel Dust), the Gloink Queen is voiced by Elsie Lovelock (singing voice of Charlie), and Dooble is voiced by Ashley Nichols (one of the clean up artists for Hazbin).
i think the reason kinger was shocked whenever gangle was right next to him is because he thinks about to be taken out like when you take out a king piece in chess
BTW a running theory I'm trying to get started is that when the theme song has a small glitch on repeat, is when Pomni appears and I theorize that's when the other clown (Kofmo) glitched to the point of no return, therefore they spawn when one breaks, for example there is a queen picture in one of the doors, but Kingler is here, so maybe there were others before
Fun Fact about the cast Zooble is played by Ashley Nicols of HuniCast and Jax is played by her boyfriend, Michael Kovach; who is also famous for bringing Angel Dust to life
@@SapphireDragonDX Considering that Michael is able to bring Ashley to her knees just by saying two words, I think it's 50-50. For those unfamiliar, those two words are simply...OH, ASHLEY
Apparently Kinger's line "You didn't experience a game show in there did you?" might be a reference to Little Runmo. Which is another Gooseworx animation.
I think the thing I appreciate most about The Amazing Digital Circus is how it's unlike anything I've seen from a fully CGI animated production, indie or otherwise, and the best part is that the animation gets progressively better with each new episode!
I’m pretty sure the amazing digital circus is going to be a series done on UA-cam like murderdrones. I think it’s just called a pilot because they don’t have enough funding to make a more episodes so they’re trying to garner support from the viewers through merchandise. I could be mistaken or that might change.
Ashley Nichols VA for Zooble Animator/cleanup artist for: Hazbin pilot Addict AMV Lackadaisy She was also the host of the HuniCasts with her OC, HunniBunny. She's Michael's longtime girlfriend and roommate!
Ok I’ve seen a few comments recommended murder drones as something else to react to, and I 100% agree; I will say it’s pilot is good but isn’t the best the show has to offer (and relied a little too much on meta humor, although I will say it’s done decently) and ep 2 is a drastic increase in quality. Also watch lackadaisy
@@matthewmatthew981 yeah, I do like it, This is an unpopular opinion, but the only thing I don’t like about it is the sudden crush that Uzi developed for N (it's not that I hate the pairing; I just wish there was more reasoning behind it, and I honestly prefer N and V's backstory).
am i the only one that didn't freak out over the caine blue screening? i started laughing when i saw it, while every react video I see the person just goes "oh hell no"
I've been really skeptical about how good this pilot would be and i wasn't even gonna watch it until i saw this on my notifications i'm very grateful to have subscribed
So happy you're watching some of Glitch's stuff, completely understandable why this is taking off, it's so cute but they're able to go a different direction that their other shows can't, like the themes of all the characters and their existential crisis.
ide love to see Alecia continue the youtube indie animation viewing. Unlike some Reactors Alecia adds a ton of thoughts and commentary which is why shes quickly become my favorate.
Hopefully she does, I’ve seen a lot of suggestions for shows like helluva boss and hazbin hotel, I wish there were a few more suggesting lackadaisy and Murder Drones.
Pomni's VA also voiced Yanfei from Genshin. Kingor's VA voiced Diluc. Zooble doesn't have an identified gender, the reason being that Zooble doesn't even know what they are, let alone their gender
Each of the main characters briefly summarized; Pomni: trauma and anxiety bean Ragatha: “this is fine” Kinger: “I’ve been zoned out since 2014!” Jax: chaotic neutral Zooble (who I almost forgot): “you can all f**k off” Caine: “what is ‘traumatic’?” Bubble: probably on a list Gangle: must protec
13:40 have a buddy like this. Refer to it as dial-up. We used to play-insult each other while we worked, and I would give what I thought was a hilarious burn just for him to wave it off and walk out of the room. Five minutes later, all I would hear from the other room is him just going “WHAT!?”
i still find it funny when a fan asked for pomni's age, gooseworx answered them and Glitch responding with "What have you done?" just for gooseworx to again answer with: "I'M GIVING THE FANS THE FACTS" and "This ain't my first rodeo!..." fully aware of the r34 stuff incomming.
Yeah Jax and Zooble are the youngest at 22 (they're both the same age), Kinger is the oldest at 48, Ragatha is the 2nd oldest and in her 30s, Gangle is 26 and Pomni is 25.
Something I love is seeing the multiple exits when Pomni is just going through them. You see how they are always similar to each other ? Some longer and some shorter but always office and also that Caine made it ? Its cool to see that because it's AI at work. He was creating exit after exit procedurally generating what it thinks, or rather, knows what the goal could be. 2 Things. 1 It's cool to see AI just trying to solve problems on it's own and seeing how and what it does to achieve steps in the correct direction towards it. 2 Him saying he never ended up finishing it, considering he's AI and has been trying to solve a problem put before him either shows that he is not completely AI or that he has grown his own consciousness and can now think for himself ( cause if AI is programmed to do something it will do it indefinitely, even if it is impossible )
Bro I was literally JUST thinking "Man I really hope Alicia reacts to the amazing Digital Circus" and then Boom. You're reacting to it. Did I just get a jeanie wish ot something?
25:04 - Alicia sings "A barrel full of monkeys, a barrel full of monkeys!", then the music plays a frantic version of that same tune :o If they wrote the music that way intentionally, that's a fun detail
Here's to hoping this pilot gets picked up If Smiling Friends, Hellnuva boss and don't hug me I'm scared got tv shows then I have a feeling this one will too
25:07 I started laughing my ass off, pointing it out to my daughter that the abstract monster was modeled after a short-leg dog. Pounce, then waddle away.
:) Glad to see this. A solid start with a lot of potential. Thanks for this reaction. Hope you do a few more indie animations too (Glitch did a creator spotlight).
POSSIBLE SPOILER THOERY If Pomni had put on the headset and immediately been "magic'd" into the game, then the headset should be dropped on the floor, but it's been neatly placed back on the desk. I think the game just takes a rough scan of the user and makes a "Johnny Silverhand" or "SOMA" style ai based off of them that's trapped in the game believing they're the original.
Yeah, that would also track with the users being 'abandoned', seemingly forever, within the digital world, rather than some attempts being made to search for them, and people continuing to put the headset on rather than being put off by strange circumstances. Presumably, at some point they DID take the headset off, and then the... what, 'cached copy' of the user's mind diverged from the original, who walked away? Would also explain the memory loss, if they're only the most important parts of their minds in some sort of cache, on the assumption that any specific memories can be pulled from the original on demand and a slight delay in recall wouldn't be a problem. So likely the entire developer/beta-testing team of... whatever this is was in there at some point, until each copy eventually lost their sense of reality and Abstracted. Possibly multiple times over, possibly even meeting each other and not realizing they're the same person because of the different avatars and inability to remember any specific memories. If the devs don't know about the problem (the local copy continuing to exist after the user 'logs out', and becoming a divergent personality), the copies might just keep stacking up until the excessive memory/whatever consumption is noticed (which might just be brushed off as part of Caine's growth or his ability to expand the environments or whatever). And the most likely thing that would happen then would be that they'd reset the simulation, if loss of Caine's growth/world expansions was considered OK. Alternately (best case scenario, probably), someone (possibly Pomni's original?) logged in alone, noticed other people, took their headset off (stranding another copy) and then realized (assuming the original is getting in-simulation memories while connected, depending on how the system is designed and what's working/not working we can't guarantee that) that there weren't supposed to be other people in there, and started investigating from the outside. But what form would a 'rescue' even take? Everyone on the dev team is still accounted for. Even if AGI like Caine is common, the idea of divergent digitized versions of themselves might not be an easy concept for some of the team. And I don't think they have android bodies suitable for the copies just lying around, this isn't Eclipse Phase or something... How do you tell someone you accidentally made a partial, but potentially still sapient copy of their mind and trapped it in your unfinished game prototype in the care of your 'zany' child-entertaining AI for an unclear amount of subjective time, and you have no idea how sane it is or how to get it out, or even communicate with it safely? Did they tell anyone, or did they just cancel the project and leave the server in the corner, looking guiltily at it occasionally, wondering how everyone's 'clones' were doing?
The pilot was so good. I can't wait to see will happen next when it becomes a full series. If you like the colorful art style and likeable characters, I would like to recommend Epithet Erased. It's such a good show. Great soundtrack. Funny lines and the power system is unique. Hope you get to check it out
So series creator, Gooseworx stated that despite Caine's penchant for taking humans captive and tormenting them through hilariously deadly circus games and tricks, he isn't actually outright evil, just obliviously mischievous.
Glitch is one of my favorite channels in all of youtube the animation skill presented in each of their series is genuenly crazy... they also often collaborate with other animation creators to give them the possibility of creating full fletched series. The Amazing Digital Circus was invented and directed by Gooseworx who is well known for theyr colorfull and strange artwork aswell as doing some banger remixes of videogame music (Goose also did the soundtrack for this show). In their previous/current show "Murder Drones" they collabed with the animator Liam Vickers who is well known for some really old (for youtube standarts) animated series like Cliffside and Internection Cube, both of wich unfortunately never got full series/finished.
I mean the origianl video for The Amazing Digital Circus has over 37 million views in just two weeks, while their last pilot, Murder Drones, had 25 million views and its over a year old.
Caine has been described officially as something like what AM from the story 'I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream' would be like if the supercomputer wasn't a sadistic monster fueled by hatred for humanity but instead a "Wacky and zany lil' guy", pretty much as of the pilot he's an AI but he's not an evil AI who wants to hurt the people trapped in cyberspace. Honestly as someone who was born in the mid 80s and grew up with 90s CGI....this hits different for me and other folks who grew up when CGI was really really new because it's mimicking that style but with much better fidelity....I liken it to retro style video games that are trying to look like old NES, SNES, or Genesis games but with more modern tools so it's smoother and looks better than it actually would.
I always love watching different people's reactions to fun internet shows I've developed a hyperfixation for, and this is no different! Btw I love your model! It's really pretty :3
Kaufmo/kaufmosis is also a reference to kafka's "metamorphosis," another book, this one about a guy who wakes up magically transformed into a gigantic cockroach. It was a metaphor for the burden you put on others when you get old or disabled. Everyone had to take care of the giant cockroach.
Fun Fact: Jax and Zooble’s VAs are dating and have been together for a couple years at this point. And _I_ am unashamed to admit that Michael and Ashley being a couple irl is a big reason for me shipping their _Digital Circus_ characters 💜
Fun little fact pomni in Russian means remember. So it is a little funny how she is named remember when she can't remember her name (I also enjoyed watching this in the Russian dub)
This was the first stream, I joined to watch. 0:02 look mom! it's me! 😂 (yo I totally missed the build up with the comedy mask being broken last time.)
you know its honestly amazing how much this pilot has popped off personally I've seen Meta runner (which is a finished series on the Glitch channel which I love with all my heart), Murder Drones (amazing and still ongoing series that so far has just been really engaging), and now this which has just gotten so popular, of course in terms of animation quality this and Murder Drones are amazing, meanwhile Meta Runner has great animation it just changed style over time and clearly improved a lot by season 2 and 3. but I do always love watching meta Runner especially for having its own Opening sequences "Always Running" is on my playlist to this day I would highly recommend checking it out. that and Murder Drones
Ragatha is LITERALLY just Molly Coddle (Bump In The Night), Pomni is heavily cribbed from Ditz (The Christmas Toy/Secret Life Of Toys), Jax is visually a mix of Oswald and Roger Rabbit, and they basically gave him the personality of Max (Sam & Max).
Fun fact: Caine is voiced by Alex Rochon, who prior to this, has done popular fandubs of Spamton. So he has experience voicing a mentally unstable and glitchy character.
In MasakoX’s Revelation F, Alex also voiced a corrupted A.I. that used to host a Space Resort before Freeza let it go to waste. I believe it’s name was Diera.
That's actually what got him the role, iirc
Also a fun fact: Alex Rochon was once known as the Autarch of Flame and used to do Top 10 lists here on UA-cam. He’s also good friends with another favorite UA-camr of mine, Joshscorcher.

idk I still feel like he's not telling the full truth
Maybe he's treating it as a game and is thinking of prizes.
Now the real question is: does he "not understand humans" because he's a wholly constructed digital being? Or because he's a human who has spent so long in the Digital Circus, he's divorced from the human experience to the point he doesn't realize how fucked up everything is?
My money is on the latter. The lovingly recreated office complex tells me Caine was drawing on real memories of the Real World, as he remembered it. If the "C&A" logo is anything to go by (Caine & Abel?). He's probably the first being trapped in a digital world of his own (or the company's) making.
He's not _malicious,_ per se. Indeed, he is _trying_ to help in the only way he knows how. It's just...well, as stated, he's been here too long to remember what it's like for a human to be trapped here.

It doesn't occur to him that maybe making a joke or adventure out of everything isn't what these people need right now.
If you really want your mind blown: go into the video's settings -> audio track and realize that there are actually 9 different dubs for the whole thing. This must have taken so much money to produce, but it was all worth it. Hope we don't have to wait too long for the next episode.

Like it would have been so easy to make him a villain who's trying to keep everyone locked up for nefarious reasons but instead he's only lying about the exit because he doesn't actually understand the concept of leaving the computer he was created in and tries to make something he thinks everyone will like. It's more interesting to me than him being the bad guy and it's just a funny concept that I can relate to
Remember, Caine’s exit shows the same office and computer with headset that Pomni was implied to use to enter the Digital Circus. How does Caine know about that? I think Caine has to be lying, whether straight up lying by pretending the Exit isn’t real or by lying through omission by omitting the fact that he didn’t create it by himself. He must’ve used some pre-existing asset for it, meaning something relating to that room already existed.
And Eldridge abomination that genuinely wants to help, but is unable due to its own lack of knowledge of the human condition.
He’s programmed to want nothing other then your happiness but is unable to achieved this due you only wanting to wake up from this “dream”.
It’s strange that Bing Bong from “Inside out” is the closest comparison I can find.
I love this show. Kinger and Jax are my favorites so far. It's amazing how far Glitch Productions has come and how much love and support they've been getting. I can't wait to see where this goes next, and I hope Pomni can keep her sanity.
Agreed
Jax's voice actor is Michael Kovach he also voices for Angle Dust from Hazben Hotel. I just noticed how similar they are.
Why do I see this same comment everywhere
DanGaningFan again with commenting on every single reaction vid
:D thanks for the super comment! Also omg yeah this is insanely well made I'm so excited for the next episode now!
I love the subtle human details they gave to everyone; caine's mouth functioning as his eyebrows while matching his tone, pomni's double takes when she's surprised or confused, ragatha reflexively brushing her hair out of the way, jax being out of breath for running around, zooble's body language compensating for a lack of facial expression, kinger's eyes getting increasingly bloodshot the longer he goes without blinking, and gangle brushing her tears off her mask.
@@falsnamae3511 I had to go back and watch the trailer because I couldn't remember how to spell their names, but glad they had fun with it too! It looks like each was animated after a particular fashion of animation; ragatha being claymation, jax being rubberhose, pomni being motion capture . . . then again maybe not since I can't pin kinger or zooble into that, oh well.
Kinger’s eyes- wait what!?
Fucking god I have to rewatch the pilot all over again 😭😭
Something to point out that not a lot of people seem to have noticed. Jax, while still being an asshat, seems to be looking out for the others. I mean look at his action. He knows something might be up with their Kaufmo. So puts the two most unstable characters together on a mostly harmless adventure. Then when he knows Kaufmo has Abstracted. He instantly runs off to find and protect those two again. Lying to them to keep them from panicking. Then pushing them down the hole only after he hears Coughmo on a rampage. Later on he gets antsy when he notices a glitching Gloink. Indicating Kaufmo might be following it down there and similar behavior.
Now it would be easy to say he is just an jerk trying to save his own skin, but his actions don't really match that. If that were the case he'd probably kept running instead of stopping, jumped down the hole on his own or crept away on his own when Kaufmo broke through the ceiling. However he doesn't. So it seems like there is more depth to the character then what we see.
Also since not a lot of people point this out. Gooseworx has also done a few animations and music on their channel. So you should check that out in your own time and see what you think.
Yeah, He's like the Jotaro of the group, he's an asshole who's secretly a good person.
You're really not gonna like what Gooseworx has to say about his role in future episodes, then.
@@binkyboy448 What did they say? Is he planned to be an antagonistic figure?
That’s actually really interesting, I hope you’re right.
@@binkyboy448 well don’t leave us hanging, what did he say.
The fact it took one episode just to grab a colossal amount of attention is really a mind boggler, and me being invested in the lore i'm already pouring all my luck in for these guys to make this even more mind boggling.
I KNOWWWW more than 300 million views in the FIRST MONTH is absolutely insane, and Gooseworx deserves the love and attention TADC has gotten, even now with the Netflix deal where TADC is also on Netflix (and still on UA-cam) and Netflix has a licensing agreement that pays HER for them to show it there, to reach a wider audience. Her hard work and dreams have paid off!
So I heard that the idea for this show was basically, “let’s retell I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, but the all powerful AI is actually nice this time.”
😢
It's an interesting idea to be inspired by one of if not the darkest tale in all of fiction. But then give it a colorful art style and a lot of humor to mix with the horror.
Fun fact the guy who voices Caine actually did fandubs for Spamton. Clearly a role he was preparing for for years
Revelation F had Alex Rochon voice a playfully corrupted AI named Diera. Just as glitchy, just as fun, just as [(BIG)]
Now that you watched this show, you should definitely check out Glitch's other show Murder Drones, also Jax is the best character in this show.
Wait until I tell 'em Glitch has more than 2 shows
100% she should watch murder drones
Kovach is the tumbler sexyman machine 😭
New GLITCH fans when I tell them SMG4 created GLITCH and not the other way around :
Also yeah Murder Drones is definitely worth watching.

As a 90's kid, I am getting so much nostalgia from this world's setup.
It really feels like we're watching FMV cutscenes from one of those weird, experimental platformers you'd find during the early days of the PlayStation or Sega Saturn (except it's in HD, of course).
@@SapphireDragonDX Or an incomplete Click-Explore CD-ROM game, like Scooter's Magic Castle.
As a 00's kid who is a retro gamer, I am too
Here's a spot of trivia for you lot:
Kinger is voiced by the same person who did the voicework for Noob Saibot in Mortal Kombat 11!
Due has got range like you wouldn't believe!
Pffft! What?! I wouldn’t have guessed that!
Yeah, also jax is voiced by the same actor that voiced Angel dust and N, and if im not wrong gangle is voiced by a vtuber
and Revali in Breath of the Wild
And Mista.
@@eliousef4235Don't forget that Michael Kovach also voices Rocky in Lackadaisy! And the voice of Zooble, Ashley Nichols, was a cleanup artist on the Hazbin pilot, the Addict AMV, and Lackadaisy.
WOOOOOOO i KNEW youd see this! I hope you love pomni as much as we do, the adorable nervous bean
Did anyone else notice that Ragitha sat as far away from Pomni as she could in the last supper
I don't think she was as okay with Pomni abandoning her as she made it seem. She was pretty awkward before the feast too.
@@elias.tEither that, or she feels personally responsible for ruining Pomni's first day at the circus. It was her idea to check on Kaufmo and introduce Pomni to him, after all. In the end, she likely felt that Pomni hasn't come to terms with her new reality yet and decided to keep some distance, both out of guilt and to give Pomni a minute to process.
Fun fact: Gooseworx also composed the score. I think that writing music is her first trade and has been known to do OST for a lot of indie animation. She did it for Hazbin Hotel, in fact.
That's at least how I first found out about her, so I was surprised to learn that she was also a writer, artist, and animator. Not many people can claim to do all of that and then some
This pilot has quite the cast
I believe pomni’s VA was in rent a girlfriend, Jax’s VA was angel dust in the hazbin hotel pilot and Kinger’s voiced noob saibot in mk11
No way, Kinger was a shadowy reveant in a past life?
Also one of the VA's voiced Mista from part 5 and another one voiced Trish
And zoobles va is Michael's girlfriend, who was one of the clean-up artists on the hazbin hotel pilot.
Pomni and Kinger are also Trish and Mista in JoJo Part 5, respectively.
Jax is also N in Murder Drones.
Hi, Alicia. Thank you for this video, you are great as usual.
A little interesting detail: a name "Pomni" resembles a russian word "Помни" (which means "Remember" in russian). And here I wonder: was that intentional or just a happy coincidence? Maybe someone knows, I don't) But if it was just a coincidence, well... It fits right in...
Very well put. 👍 I forgot about her name being Russian.
Also, if you shorten XDDCC to XDC and use a Caesar cipher decoder on it, it becomes 'out'
Or so I heard
@@jordanhunter3375never heard anyone point that out
Without spoiling it for anyone who maybe hasn't seen the second and third episodes, but memory and belonging/friendship seem to be core concepts for Pomni's character.
Fun fact Kinger asking Zooble if she experienced a gameshow when she was eaten is a reference to some of gooseworks prior animations. Little Runmo and Elaine the Bounty Hunter
Fun fact I've learned today: XDDCC, when placed through a Ceasar Cipher, it comes out as "OUT" and Pomni in Russian is "remember". Thought that would be interesting to know.
Huh. Interesting.
THIS IS A RABBIT HOLE YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO GO DOWN, GLITCH PRODUCTIONS IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE
As is Gooseworx.
I'm so happy you watched this, I think I watched the pilot about a dozen times already and I love it every time I watch it. Hopefully Glitch manages to make it into a full series in the future.
Also fun fact: in the spanish dub when Caine is telling Pomni the fine print about choosing a name, he says that the name can't be transphobic nor have hate speech in it (it also specifies to not put references to dubbing in it, which is an inside joke in the VA industry around here lol)
Oh, that does make sense. After all, Jax calls Zooble “they.”
It's going to be 100% a series, I was watching a reaction from gangle voice actor (a vtuber) and at some point she said, "oooh so that's why my lines are like that on the other episodes" or something close to that
Not only is it a series, Netflix also picked it up and is paying Gooseworx a licensing agreement to carry it! So Gooseworx is definitely getting the love and attention TADC deserves!
Lizzie Freeman is insanely accurate for playing as Pomni
i'm glad you watched it, and i think this is a good way to be introduced to their channel
i was hoping you would one day watch one of their other shows called "murder drones"
so now that you know of them the chance for that to happen increases
Seeing Pomni look like that at the very end always makes me tear up for some reason. I feel so bad for her 😢
every time I rewatch I just wanna give Gangle a hug. poor girl.
Here is some trivia you might like to hear. There are three Hazbin Hotel pilot episode associates here. Jax is voiced by Micheal Kovach (voice of Angel Dust), the Gloink Queen is voiced by Elsie Lovelock (singing voice of Charlie), and Dooble is voiced by Ashley Nichols (one of the clean up artists for Hazbin).
I didn’t know Elsie Lovelock worked on Hazbin, I’ve been subbed to her channel for years.
i think the reason kinger was shocked whenever gangle was right next to him is because he thinks about to be taken out like when you take out a king piece in chess
BTW a running theory I'm trying to get started is that when the theme song has a small glitch on repeat, is when Pomni appears and I theorize that's when the other clown (Kofmo) glitched to the point of no return, therefore they spawn when one breaks, for example there is a queen picture in one of the doors, but Kingler is here, so maybe there were others before
Pomni ended up nearly pulling out a Berserk SMILE. That’s not a good sign.
Fun Fact about the cast
Zooble is played by Ashley Nicols of HuniCast and Jax is played by her boyfriend, Michael Kovach; who is also famous for bringing Angel Dust to life
That makes Zooble's hand strangling Jax even funnier meta-wise. Makes you wonder if Ashley wears the pants in the relationship. :P
@@SapphireDragonDX Considering that Michael is able to bring Ashley to her knees just by saying two words, I think it's 50-50.
For those unfamiliar, those two words are simply...OH, ASHLEY
@@SilverScribe85 But with the Angel voice.
@@tjarkschweizer There was ONE TIME Michael was able to make Ashley fluster with his normal voice
@@SilverScribe85 Must have missed that one
Apparently Kinger's line "You didn't experience a game show in there did you?" might be a reference to Little Runmo. Which is another Gooseworx animation.
I think the thing I appreciate most about The Amazing Digital Circus is how it's unlike anything I've seen from a fully CGI animated production, indie or otherwise, and the best part is that the animation gets progressively better with each new episode!
I knew you'd love it! This pilot is PEAK !!
Also......
THE CLUSSY FEVER SHALL NEVER DIIIIIEEE
🤨
@@timothy6583 🥰
I’m pretty sure the amazing digital circus is going to be a series done on UA-cam like murderdrones. I think it’s just called a pilot because they don’t have enough funding to make a more episodes so they’re trying to garner support from the viewers through merchandise. I could be mistaken or that might change.
Just the fact that this show managed to make me laight AND banned swearing makes it the best show of the year
Michael Kovach
Voice actor for:
•Angel Dust(Original Hazbin before reboot)
•N(Murder Drones)
•Rocky(Lackadaisy)
•Jax(The Amazing Digital Circus)
Ashley Nichols
VA for Zooble
Animator/cleanup artist for:

She was also the host of the HuniCasts with her OC, HunniBunny.
She's Michael's longtime girlfriend and roommate!
Ok I’ve seen a few comments recommended murder drones as something else to react to, and I 100% agree; I will say it’s pilot is good but isn’t the best the show has to offer (and relied a little too much on meta humor, although I will say it’s done decently) and ep 2 is a drastic increase in quality.
Also watch lackadaisy
Do you like Episode 3? Episode 3 is my favorite.
@@matthewmatthew981 yeah, I do like it,
This is an unpopular opinion, but the only thing I don’t like about it is the sudden crush that Uzi developed for N (it's not that I hate the pairing; I just wish there was more reasoning behind it, and I honestly prefer N and V's backstory).
@@matthewmatthew981 I think ep 6 is my favorite with ep 2 & 3 fighting for second place, it honestly depends on how I feel at the moment
am i the only one that didn't freak out over the caine blue screening? i started laughing when i saw it, while every react video I see the person just goes "oh hell no"
Yeah, dial tone makes people realize how old they're...
Lmao
I laughed aswell. It just made me- *dial up noises* ... what was I doing again? Sorry I'm at Maccas and using the free wifi. It's painfully slow.
I've been really skeptical about how good this pilot would be and i wasn't even gonna watch it until i saw this on my notifications i'm very grateful to have subscribed
So happy you're watching some of Glitch's stuff, completely understandable why this is taking off, it's so cute but they're able to go a different direction that their other shows can't, like the themes of all the characters and their existential crisis.
OH MY GOD. ELSIE VOICED THE GLOINK QUEEN?
WHAT IS THIS VOICE RANGE????
(for anyone that dont know she also voiced uzi in another series murder drones)
And she was Charlie's singing voice in the Hazbin pilot.
All of the VA’s are just perfect for the characters
ide love to see Alecia continue the youtube indie animation viewing. Unlike some Reactors Alecia adds a ton of thoughts and commentary which is why shes quickly become my favorate.
Hopefully she does, I’ve seen a lot of suggestions for shows like helluva boss and hazbin hotel, I wish there were a few more suggesting lackadaisy and Murder Drones.
THIS PILOT IS JUST SO GOOD! I watched it the other week and I'm in LOVE! I'm so glad you watched it too.
This is just one of Glitch Production's series. They've also got Sunset Paradise, Meta Runner(personal fave of mine), and Murder Drones.
I’ve never a Vtuber model this expressive. Holy shit.
Fun fact, a lot of the animation is done by the wildly talented Kevin Temmer. Who’s an incredibly cool animator/song writer.
I’m a massive fan of
Yeah baby! That’s what I’ve been waiting for! That’s what it’s all about!
It was a matter of time till you watched it TADC has been my latest hyper fixation so it's great watching people's reaction to it, it's so good
Pomni's VA also voiced Yanfei from Genshin. Kingor's VA voiced Diluc. Zooble doesn't have an identified gender, the reason being that Zooble doesn't even know what they are, let alone their gender
They voiced Trish from jojo as well
At the very least, we know Zooble was a human.
new subscriber! good luck on the road to 1M! your reactions are funny, and your vtuber model is cool :3
Each of the main characters briefly summarized;
Pomni: trauma and anxiety bean
Ragatha: “this is fine”
Kinger: “I’ve been zoned out since 2014!”
Jax: chaotic neutral
Zooble (who I almost forgot): “you can all f**k off”
Caine: “what is ‘traumatic’?”
Bubble: probably on a list
Gangle: must protec
I really can’t wait for the full season when this show gets going
13:40 have a buddy like this. Refer to it as dial-up. We used to play-insult each other while we worked, and I would give what I thought was a hilarious burn just for him to wave it off and walk out of the room. Five minutes later, all I would hear from the other room is him just going “WHAT!?”
"What the hell is this animation style?" Kevin Temmer Tunes.
i still find it funny when a fan asked for pomni's age, gooseworx answered them and Glitch responding with "What have you done?" just for gooseworx to again answer with: "I'M GIVING THE FANS THE FACTS" and "This ain't my first rodeo!..." fully aware of the r34 stuff incomming.
Yeah Jax and Zooble are the youngest at 22 (they're both the same age), Kinger is the oldest at 48, Ragatha is the 2nd oldest and in her 30s, Gangle is 26 and Pomni is 25.
Something I love is seeing the multiple exits when Pomni is just going through them. You see how they are always similar to each other ? Some longer and some shorter but always office and also that Caine made it ? Its cool to see that because it's AI at work. He was creating exit after exit procedurally generating what it thinks, or rather, knows what the goal could be. 2 Things. 1 It's cool to see AI just trying to solve problems on it's own and seeing how and what it does to achieve steps in the correct direction towards it. 2 Him saying he never ended up finishing it, considering he's AI and has been trying to solve a problem put before him either shows that he is not completely AI or that he has grown his own consciousness and can now think for himself ( cause if AI is programmed to do something it will do it indefinitely, even if it is impossible )
Bro I was literally JUST thinking "Man I really hope Alicia reacts to the amazing Digital Circus" and then Boom. You're reacting to it. Did I just get a jeanie wish ot something?
25:04 - Alicia sings "A barrel full of monkeys, a barrel full of monkeys!", then the music plays a frantic version of that same tune :o
If they wrote the music that way intentionally, that's a fun detail
Here's to hoping this pilot gets picked up
If Smiling Friends, Hellnuva boss and don't hug me I'm scared got tv shows then I have a feeling this one will too
25:07 I started laughing my ass off, pointing it out to my daughter that the abstract monster was modeled after a short-leg dog. Pounce, then waddle away.
Before the fandom destroys it, I will say I truly did enjoy this pilot
:) Glad to see this.
A solid start with a lot of potential.
Thanks for this reaction.
Hope you do a few more indie animations too (Glitch did a creator spotlight).
One crazy detail is if you rewatch the hallway scene, you can see a bunch of crossed out faces on the doors.
Btw-Your avatar is very well
Made! I love how the eyes especially react and small
movements really stand out !
"Why are you like this?" Me every time Alicia says something unhinged.
Gotta love how the show becomes the stanly parable for a third of it's runtime
POSSIBLE SPOILER THOERY
If Pomni had put on the headset and immediately been "magic'd" into the game, then the headset should be dropped on the floor, but it's been neatly placed back on the desk.
I think the game just takes a rough scan of the user and makes a "Johnny Silverhand" or "SOMA" style ai based off of them that's trapped in the game believing they're the original.
Yeah, that would also track with the users being 'abandoned', seemingly forever, within the digital world, rather than some attempts being made to search for them, and people continuing to put the headset on rather than being put off by strange circumstances. Presumably, at some point they DID take the headset off, and then the... what, 'cached copy' of the user's mind diverged from the original, who walked away? Would also explain the memory loss, if they're only the most important parts of their minds in some sort of cache, on the assumption that any specific memories can be pulled from the original on demand and a slight delay in recall wouldn't be a problem.
So likely the entire developer/beta-testing team of... whatever this is was in there at some point, until each copy eventually lost their sense of reality and Abstracted. Possibly multiple times over, possibly even meeting each other and not realizing they're the same person because of the different avatars and inability to remember any specific memories.
If the devs don't know about the problem (the local copy continuing to exist after the user 'logs out', and becoming a divergent personality), the copies might just keep stacking up until the excessive memory/whatever consumption is noticed (which might just be brushed off as part of Caine's growth or his ability to expand the environments or whatever). And the most likely thing that would happen then would be that they'd reset the simulation, if loss of Caine's growth/world expansions was considered OK.
Alternately (best case scenario, probably), someone (possibly Pomni's original?) logged in alone, noticed other people, took their headset off (stranding another copy) and then realized (assuming the original is getting in-simulation memories while connected, depending on how the system is designed and what's working/not working we can't guarantee that) that there weren't supposed to be other people in there, and started investigating from the outside. But what form would a 'rescue' even take? Everyone on the dev team is still accounted for. Even if AGI like Caine is common, the idea of divergent digitized versions of themselves might not be an easy concept for some of the team. And I don't think they have android bodies suitable for the copies just lying around, this isn't Eclipse Phase or something...
How do you tell someone you accidentally made a partial, but potentially still sapient copy of their mind and trapped it in your unfinished game prototype in the care of your 'zany' child-entertaining AI for an unclear amount of subjective time, and you have no idea how sane it is or how to get it out, or even communicate with it safely? Did they tell anyone, or did they just cancel the project and leave the server in the corner, looking guiltily at it occasionally, wondering how everyone's 'clones' were doing?
Was mad exited for this because I am OBSESSED with gooseworx but now I'm gonna get into the rest of glitch's stuff, this is so good!
32:53 Lol the pun just flew over her head
One of the OSTs is literally called "Get Isekai'd"
The pilot was so good. I can't wait to see will happen next when it becomes a full series.
If you like the colorful art style and likeable characters, I would like to recommend Epithet Erased. It's such a good show. Great soundtrack. Funny lines and the power system is unique. Hope you get to check it out
So series creator, Gooseworx stated that despite Caine's penchant for taking humans captive and tormenting them through hilariously deadly circus games and tricks, he isn't actually outright evil, just obliviously mischievous.
Glitch is one of my favorite channels in all of youtube the animation skill presented in each of their series is genuenly crazy... they also often collaborate with other animation creators to give them the possibility of creating full fletched series.
The Amazing Digital Circus was invented and directed by Gooseworx who is well known for theyr colorfull and strange artwork aswell as doing some banger remixes of videogame music (Goose also did the soundtrack for this show).
In their previous/current show "Murder Drones" they collabed with the animator Liam Vickers who is well known for some really old (for youtube standarts) animated series like Cliffside and Internection Cube, both of wich unfortunately never got full series/finished.
I mean the origianl video for The Amazing Digital Circus has over 37 million views in just two weeks, while their last pilot, Murder Drones, had 25 million views and its over a year old.
Fu fact: They have a veteran BlueSky animator working with them
Honestly I think that's a better fun fact than the Little Runmo reference.
Caine has been described officially as something like what AM from the story 'I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream' would be like if the supercomputer wasn't a sadistic monster fueled by hatred for humanity but instead a "Wacky and zany lil' guy", pretty much as of the pilot he's an AI but he's not an evil AI who wants to hurt the people trapped in cyberspace. Honestly as someone who was born in the mid 80s and grew up with 90s CGI....this hits different for me and other folks who grew up when CGI was really really new because it's mimicking that style but with much better fidelity....I liken it to retro style video games that are trying to look like old NES, SNES, or Genesis games but with more modern tools so it's smoother and looks better than it actually would.
I always love watching different people's reactions to fun internet shows I've developed a hyperfixation for, and this is no different! Btw I love your model! It's really pretty :3
Kaufmo/kaufmosis is also a reference to kafka's "metamorphosis," another book, this one about a guy who wakes up magically transformed into a gigantic cockroach. It was a metaphor for the burden you put on others when you get old or disabled. Everyone had to take care of the giant cockroach.
Fun Fact: Jax and Zooble’s VAs are dating and have been together for a couple years at this point.
And _I_ am unashamed to admit that Michael and Ashley being a couple irl is a big reason for me shipping their _Digital Circus_ characters 💜
Fun little fact pomni in Russian means remember. So it is a little funny how she is named remember when she can't remember her name (I also enjoyed watching this in the Russian dub)
Being a fan of the dub of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, I've come to adore the fact that the Gloink Queen is voiced by Elsie Lovelock.
There's a lot of game references which makes it even more amazing
I love your reactions! Thanks for reacting to TADC ^^
Pomni's 25 confirmed by gooseworx
Glitch's twitter response was "What have you done"
This was the first stream, I joined to watch.
0:02 look mom! it's me! 😂
(yo I totally missed the build up with the comedy mask being broken last time.)
Yessssssss she's watching it this is what I've been waiting for I also highly recommended the Mender by Volt Jolt
you know its honestly amazing how much this pilot has popped off personally I've seen Meta runner (which is a finished series on the Glitch channel which I love with all my heart), Murder Drones (amazing and still ongoing series that so far has just been really engaging), and now this which has just gotten so popular, of course in terms of animation quality this and Murder Drones are amazing, meanwhile Meta Runner has great animation it just changed style over time and clearly improved a lot by season 2 and 3. but I do always love watching meta Runner especially for having its own Opening sequences "Always Running" is on my playlist to this day I would highly recommend checking it out. that and Murder Drones
Caine is voiced by one of my first UA-camrs and is the father of the top 10 bosses listing
"What is this Animation Style."
Ubisoft Glitches.
you should 100% watch murder drones. different writer, same animation studio. I absolutely love it
Ragatha is LITERALLY just Molly Coddle (Bump In The Night), Pomni is heavily cribbed from Ditz (The Christmas Toy/Secret Life Of Toys), Jax is visually a mix of Oswald and Roger Rabbit, and they basically gave him the personality of Max (Sam & Max).
Caine saying he doesn't know what's out there in the void.
[Suddenly, gaster]
She commented on gangle worrying for zooble. Best influencer ever
