Guys, get ready for it!
Wha
at least i'm third i'm sad i not first but at least i'm third. next time i be first
46 SECONDS AGO
KNEW IT
The way Gummigoo expressions shift when Pomni mentions his name, first is surprise she knows his name, then shock and then he becomes sad and tries to reach her with his hand.
And later when she goes out to talk to him as he is leaving, he makes a sad expression and the song that played when they were bonding in episode 2 plays, really makes me think he remembered her.
She seems to have noticed it too, and just let him go instead.
I thought the same thing when I saw the way he looked at her as he was walking away.😢
Thank you for helping me notice this!! He looks sad to leave which could be nothing…but could be something
God dam that Gummy crocodile is going to make me cry again
See, I got a different feeling from that scene. His expression, especially how his eyes slightly shift to the door then back to her, make it seem like a more uncomfortable/anxious "oh this weird stalker girl is here again."
Same dude. I was like...wait, something's up
I appreciate how it's pointed out that Ragatha's friendliness is at a point to where people couldn't be certain of her being genuine. Been in that position before where I was too nice to the point it was inauthentic and it hurt people. What a zinger!
I haven't been that nice... I cracked and got an inferiority complex and a superiority complex...
I'm too self-centered.
But yeah. Never met someone that nice. Most just have anxiety or are fake trying to make friends by faking themselves. Or people pleasing....
Anyway good luck with that!
No one's perfect anyways, just like no system is. Just have to put up with each other and each system that's presented. Not like we're perfect anyways, people still put up with our imperfections, so we kind of have to put up with other's imperfections too. Doing Revenge is so bad though, forgiveness should be talked about more often in popular culture.
Tbh haven't seen presentation of such personality that much in media so I'm happy to have it somewhere!
18:47
Yeah kind and gentle people weird me the hell out, I can never trust them, they are all fake. I much prefer a rude ass honest person
I love how confused Pomni gets when Jax acts "normal" towards her. Like he doesn't say anything mean, asks how she is, all because he's been now traumatized by the reality of working a dead end job with no way up. Great episode
This was my favorite part!!
it could be a “I’m to tired to be rude” thing plus I do believe he cares for them that’s just how he is
I think he also just hates dead end jobs lol
Do i smell Character Development?
Heyyyy
The fact that rabbits are afraid of strobe lights/ flashing lights makes that scene where jax was put infront of the tv screen is so much more sencical now
jax is probably a hare.
Good observation!
@@CartoonCatAndCartoonDogYTon the wiki it says that he is a “lanky lilac rabbit”
heh, I like how they added that! That makes the scene even funnier! 😂😂
Gangle is so cool. She used to be a shift manager, she draws, she had dreams. Actual dreams that she was probably told were never possible. She has depression and is trying to overcome it. Shes insecure. She's not that bad of a leader.
Hard same when she stopped those times Jax and ragatha said/implied that they liked her better or she was easier to deal with when she was depressed.
The way Zooble has her back and is trying to help Gangle be more comfortable in her own body too is so sweet, and how Pomni was willing to sit down and talk to Gangle and help her, even covering the closing shift at the end...
Wait it’s a she, I thought it was a he (no hate just me being dumb)
She is amazing!
HIIII!!
si es buena pero es algo mala ya que en una escena ensiera a jax y esp seria secuestro malo 11:24
Now thinking about it Ragatha seems like the type of person that wants to be a hero to satisfy her hero complex than out of genuine kindness because the only real reason Ragatha would prefer it when she was depressed was probably because she could help her out. I think Pomni said it best in episode 2, "Im not a child, you don't have to hype me up". To Pomni (at that point), Ragatha's not really being genuine and moreso treating her like a kid rather than an actual person. At best, the others see Ragatha as somewhat ingenuine with her approaches while she believes she isn't and at worst, she has a severe hero complex.
Makes sense that Zooble is the one comforting Gangle at the end. Ragatha is always cheerful and supportive, but as Gangle said, it can be hard to tell how genuine she's being. If she actually likes you and wants to help, or if she's just being the "nice one" as her own method of coping.
Meanwhile, Zooble is always genuine. Never puts up a front or pretends to like anything. Words of support can be nice, but sometimes some "real talk" is more comforting than all of that. And it helps that Zooble does seem to really care, as well.
Yeah I think that makes sense now.
And Pomni too
Which is why ragatha will kill zoobl in a later episode
True that make a lot more sense if you think more about it
@@LolThisGame1 real
As someone who used to work in fast food the attention to detail here was S-Tier. Caine mentioning non-slip shoes, those weird rubber floor mats with the holes, the little drawers for the finished burger patties... Even Gangle's line "If you have time to lean, you have time to clean!" I've had people tell me that exact thing, word for word.
My farts are better than GLITCH’s farts
Tbh that is a phrase people do say
It truly was nightmare fuel. I felt the frustration in Jax when he kept looking at that clock.
BFDI REFRANCE
Somewhat off-topic, but I think the rubber mats with the holes are made to prevent your feet from getting sore while standing.
Edit: This is not correct, I was mixing the grease mats up with something else that I've seen while working at Goodwill.
Apologies for the misinformation!
20:30 i know a lot of people think hangle did that on purpose but a character getting hit by a vehicle on accident and the getting thrown into another world is a really common character trope in the start of manga! Gangle finally realized that the "hold it all together itll be fine" mask is exactly the thing thats holding her back and she realized that it was okay to be herself! I love the manga trope. They were having a regular work day and she got thrown right back into the ADC crazy world.
The split second conversation between pomni & jax is super interesting. He actually asks how she's doing and she almost is open until she realizes who's she's talking to and quickly clams up. For the first time, Jax is open about feeling crappy and says "see ya" in a chill way, which is odd (& pomni looks confused about it too) bc he treated her like a person rather than a tool for his own entertainment.
Omg fr tho
Jax is not a bad person he is just like me he cant take this seriously and acts like its all a game
Even i dont feel bad about npcs in gta and use any gun in street
he most likely acts like this because this episode definitely played on his weakness of relying on others to entertain himself, he’s been traumatised by the experience and can’t find joy in anyone else’s suffering in this adventure
@unknownfunkymanNot to mention that unlike other adventures, there is legitimate consequences to failure, he cant do his usual nonsense cause otherwise shit will happen to him
@@terry4751 "Jad" 🔥🔥🔥
I love how each of them kinda represents “that one coworker” that every job has.
Pomni being the sort of newbie who does their job but is a bit uncomfortable because they're just starting out.
Jax being the coworker who's been working there for way too long and is desperately trying to get out of there.
Zooble being the coworker who doesn't like their job but understands that they're there to work and may as well do it right.
Gangle being a former coworker promoted to manager whos having trouble leading her new team who don't see her any differently.
Rageta being the one who came in high and is just making shit harder.
Kinger being the one who got fired and is now on a better career
@@normalLaSerpienteCopada taking a ride with the bulls
Yeah, sounds about right. But man what is in that "stupid" sauce? That stuff is STRONG.
Jax is right ragatha is drunk or something because of the weird sauce
Bruh what restaurant have you been at lmao. From all the places I have worked you would be hard pressed to find a cook who isn't high including the sous chef and head chef. The managers rarely ever even care because they still do their jobs well while completely baked because it is such a monotonous process and they're so used to doing it.
I like how Pomni was relatively stable throughout all of this, easily the most stable we've seen her so far. She's just comfortable when things aren't weird and are relatively normal.
After eps 2 and 3 those experiences def hardened her and it seems the idea of having friends at her side has kept her in high spirits.
to be fair, she’s still the newest so is probably still the most intact mind out of all of them
aside from the weird customers, this is actually a relatively normal environment compared to the stuff shes seen prior, most of the characters seemed to show how they'd actually act in a real environment, with zooble ironically being the most competent out of all of the characters despite never wanting to partake in adventures
@@BitrateBillythe customers also probably normalised them. like seeing the special effects behind an old movie, and seeing the actors being silly in them behind the scenes.
in fairness she was somewhat traumatised by the off screen reproduction conversation
true, this was one of the most normal adventures they've been through.
The thing that the episode almost has no background music is creepy. It represents that TADC may be animation, but it is also a psychological horror series. I really like the episode, especially when Gangle being introduced and being in first place in this episode and that makes me feel better. Since Gangle is one of my favorite characters it made me happy that Jax cannot bully her anymore. If I would like to choose a trend that should go hype in internet again, it would definitely be TADC. Anyways, Algorithm is like that but I am a real fan of this show and I’ll never give up watching TADC as always. Thank you for giving so much effort to all of the episodes, making such a great series and making community happy, Goosework. I’m happy that Gangle finally gained confidence after all of this, even though she had trough so much.💖
uh no it does have music just quiet subdued quirky stuff
I’m glad they finally covered one of the most important yet depressing topics I’ve seen in fiction: not depersonalization, not the fear of death, not the processing of grief, not even the masking of our emotions to hid our deepest insecurities. Truly, the most saddening thing in this series is making people work fast food.
Wow
Facts!
Eh could be 50hrs in a factory tha'ts cold and the people are even more uncaring. Oh of course the occasional mandatory saturday.
@@tastefulavengeryeah, thats working on fast food!
jokes aside my mom worked on both places and she said working in costumer service was worse

Stop reading my mind.
1. The Pomni unicorn reference was gold.
2. Ragatha getting high and proceeding to casually say what she usually holds back when talking to the others was oddly satisfying to hear.
3. Jax getting astronomically humbled this episode was funny.
4.Oh damn Gangle was projecting during that training video, huh
Wait what was the unicorn reference?
@@Bootyeatter6969it was a comic strip, I think
@@autumn_sunday oh
@@autumn_sunday oh
@@autumn_sunday i had no idea lol
18:27 love how this is deeper than just Pomni covering for Gangle.
Music choice tells you everything, it feels like Gangle would have abstracted here if Pomni hadn't intervened.
There were a few occasions in the episode where she would have without a distraction.
Gangle was definitely about to abstract glad pomni was there
Would Gangle have Abstracted? How can you be sure? We've never actually seen how getting Abstracted actually works, we've only ever seen the aftermath.
@@frozenfoxgames5300I think it’s basically when the character completely gives up all hope or succumbs to an obsession. Example:
Kaufmo abstracted whilst looking for an exit to the Circus. The short film about him, despite being non-canon, shows this pretty well, so I’m guessing that he abstracted as a direct result of this, as he could never find the exit.
I also get the feeling that Pomni came close to abstracting in the Pilot, when she saw the monitor in the office maze. She looked absolutely deranged, and I think that’s when she lost it.
As for Gangle here, it’s the stress of being a shift manager piling up on her shoulders and crushing her. She couldn’t take it anymore, and so she came REALLY close to abstracting.
This is just my theory, feel free to correct me.
@frozenfoxgames5300 Yeah, but we've been told how it happens in literally the first episode.
anyone else think that Ragatha was a mum in the real world? talking to Pomni like she’s a kid, always scolding Jax for bad behavior, talking about tea parties and dancing lessons that keep her away from what she loves, she mentioned missing horses. just a head cannon i think is kinda cool :)
15:20 it feels... kinda genuine to see Jax talks like a sane normal person, with frustration and tired feeling. It kinda feels like he's showing his genuine personality instead of his sadistic persona, he asked how pomni's doing and said later pomni.
Pomni almost wet herself when she saw Gummygoo 😂😂😂
❤ me encantó esa escena fue muy bonita
Right? I noticed that too. Its different from his usual self
He asked her how she was doing AND said bye??? He's really changing 🥳🥳
I was like « hey, that’s the first time ever that he seems to care for someone other than himself » i was so surprised
“I don’t deserve a friend like you.”
“Well, you got one.”
I’m so glad we’re finally getting some time for Zooble to shine.
YES SIR, I AGREE.
yes
1:09 If zooble and gangle dont end up being gf's i will feel so dead inside!!!!
@@PinkKiferFluff RIP THEN.
Idk about that one chief@@PinkKiferFluff
I actually really like how Pomni wasn’t the one who comforted Gangle at the end, instead it was Zooble. Pomni did comfort her just before that, but Zooble was the one who really helped Gangle with her depression. Not only is the friendship between Gangle and Zooble just really cute, it makes the digital world of The Amazing Digital Circus feel like a world filled with real people rather than a world that revolves around Pomni
Мне нравится Зубловское "мы найдём что-то более подходящее", это в очень духе Зубл и в духе Гузворкс
Pomni is the G here, she prevented Gangle from what could VERY MUCH be abstracting
Even though Pomni is basically the main character of the series, I suspect that TADC is really Zooble's story. Pomni is a transformative character, and it's her actions changing the people around her. If you think about it, Pomni helped bring Kinger out of his shell in the last episode, and that's likely part of what prompted him to step up here, forcing Zooble to go on the adventure. Zooble is the one on a character arc, going from disaffected to caring about the others.
LESBIAN COUPLEEEE
@@JapaneseGoos no
idk why but i honestly think caine is keeping everyone trapped in the digital circus willingly cause he`s "forever alone"
Notice how in the begining Gangle is learning how to properly throw something and in the end when she trowes her mask to the sky, she actually does a good throw.
Mind blowing detail
Actually now that I think about it. Theres always smth in the beggining of the episode that comes to the end. In the 2nd episode it was Pomnis nightmare. And in the 3rd it was the breathing. Nice detail
I thought gangle was a boy😭
@@CrystalicMuravil WHAT!?
@@CrystalicMuravilEXCUSE ME SIR!? Okay yeah, I can’t blame ya, I thought Zooble was a girl, a tomboy girl
Glad you noticed it too
This episode was really unique, the lack of music throughout the whole thing was GENIUS. It made the whole mood feel empty, which went really well with gangle repressing her emotions. It made it feel realistic, and tense, the kind of way you’d feel when you know someone is miserable and there’s nothing you can do about it. I’m glad they made a slower episode, because all of the characters got a lot of development and we got to see their personalities in a more normal environment, instead of the usual wacky places they’d be in. This was genius, and I really connected with the feeling of the episode, awesome work.
Fr
I thought it was just a good episode because it didn't have a lot of background noise and let me focus on the characters. Music is mostly for action and silence is for personal.
True
This explains why the episode was strange and underwhelming to me, I couldn't figure out what I was exactly feeling, like I do not hate the episode not at all but I really just stared at my screen blankly and stayed quiet the whole time.
@@solanaheart same!
That look gumigoo gives pomni when leaving really makes me think that he remembers. Also the fact that gangle worked so hard and did everything “corporate “ wanted and still only got a B+ is so real
also, notice how Gumigoo actually tries to reach out to Pomni when she said his name? yeah, I think he remembers
Of course he does!
In defense of corporate, it’s obvious the in the truest indicator of an excellent fast food manager is their ability at bull riding, hence why Kinger was given an A+. So really Gangle just didn’t put it all out there. 🤷
I don't think he does
My manager at Walmart once told me “isn’t giving a 4/5 on your personal eval thinking a bit too highly of yourself?”
So Walmart only ever gets 3s.
Makes sense that Jax is kind of scared w the flashing pictures, since bunnies/rabbits get scared when they see flashing stuff.
I appreciate Pomni taking a back seat for this episode and allowing the rest of the cast to be fleshed out a little more.
True, this is a very positive point of this series when I started watching I thought it was going to be that typical series that always wanted to let the main character have all the best moments Having all the attention on him, but it's quite the opposite, leaving other secondary characters in the foreground. I love that in this series! In this video, Ponmi was in the background having scenes but not as relevant as the Gangel scenes.
Also it seems like she enjoyed whole being a fastfood worker thing. Good for her. Nice to see them actually have fun in these adventures.
Yeah I'm eating captain crunch while watching this
For real!
Pomni let the others shine.
I like how as the episode continues, gangle starts acting more like her sad mask self, when she clocks out and talks to pomni, she slouches, fidgets with her hands, and starts talking as she usually would with her sad mask. The new mask didn't change her, it gave her a perspective of who she wanted to be.
I think it could represent meds wearing off, as some of the comments used that analogy.
Lord forgive me for what I'm about to do: HOLY SHIT 1K LIKES?!
My farts are better than GLITCH’s farts
her actual comedy mask allows her to express happiness. It allows her to be happy genuinely, but the fake one.... It didn't. It was just placebo, and once she started feeling stressed, she had to fake it to keep sane, until eventually, she just cracked from it all.
same
I’m just gonna say it’s a metaphor for depression, masked behind a feeling of what you want to be
The concept of "masking" in a retail environment is such a unique topic. What a cool way to explore it. Well done.
Interesting that Pomni (and maybe everyone else as well) apparently assumed that the happy mask would actually *make* Gangle happy, instead of just making her appear to be happy, as it's... well, quite literally a mask.
This is something a lot of folks with bipolar or borderline depression use both at work and in everday life. In my experience having BPD, it's very much a cover to prove to others and yourself that you're doing better than you make out. It all stays inside until you're alone in the break room or taking out the trash and that's when the facade falls off like Gangle's mask.
oh yes. I can relate. after a while your mask is permanently broken and need to brute force through the day anyway. omg this episode was too real.
agreed
@@kirasigncomics just letting you know, BPD means borderline personality disorder, and depression is an entirely different thing, but both can be experienced at the same time !
4:46 I love how Caine's eyes just flew up! 😂😂😂
I LOVE how Jax is represented in the Evaluation scene (and beyond this point) like he isn't just portrayed as this "tough-guy" anti-hero who hates the cast, he actually feels genuine emotion, like how his eyes contract rapidly and he looks terrified. AND how it's not mis-characterized, as he says "Nobody can see this, right?" as he doesn't want the rest of them to see him at his most vulnerable. And it shows, like how someone pointed out Pomni being confused at how instead of Jax being generally obnoxious towards her, he's just normal, like he's been traumatized and just awaiting his shift to end.
But they did say there is nothing heroic about him
He looked super stressed out after the evaluation, I know I might be looking too deep into it, but I wonder if the evaluation might have any meaning later on and what Jax saw
@@Nezuko_Kamado415Yeah. There isn’t anything heroic about him at all, it’s just that because of this episode he seems more.. human I guess.
I agree, I thought he was the kind of guy who could stand up to someone like Johan Liebert (one of the most evil characters in anime) but I think even Jax would be fearful and wary of Johan's insane manipulation
Okay but he can dye plz
Okay, but as a former fast food employee of 3-4 years, that “YOU GOT TIME TO LEAN YOU GOT TIME TO CLEAN” sparked a *physically aggressive reaction*
Yup 😊
that and the closing up scene shot like you're watching it through CCTV
I was told that once by a coworker and it never left me
Current retail worker and I know the feeling...
I wanted to chew through steel when I heard her say that
15:20 I love this moment here. I only noticed this on my first rewatch, but I love how when jax asks pomni how she’s doing, pomni initially responds how she normally would to that question like she was talking to anyone else, until she realizes jax is the one who said it.
I think this is really interesting as we’ve both never seen jax this defeated before and have never seen him say anything so genuinely nice before. Its such a small thing, but like he was completely genuine about this and he doesnt like follow it up with any sarcastic remark and even ends their conversation with “see you later pomni” as if he actually likes her company. Really cool to see how jax, for a second in time, opened himself up a little and just like had a casual conversation
EDIT: Wanted to put this here as thats probably the best way people will see it (with this comment having 8k likes wowzas!); When Caine assesses gangle’s performance for the day there are two things I want to point out:
One, The images teapots in the office is a reference to this one teapot(it has a name, I just forgot it) that many modelers use as a placeholder or test. It’s a really cool detail because an AI like caine would probably have that in his office lol.
And two, I like how they set everything up in the episode to make you think when she has the chance to put the blame on jax, she doesnt. It wouldve undercut the impact of the scene before if she was like “ykw yeah I will lol”. Good job
My farts are better than GLITCH’s farts 💨
@@p-__ i agree GLITCH's farts stink but not as much
@@p-__thats the name of a company what are you on about???
3:33
This was probably one of my favorite scenes from this episode ☺️
When Gangle has the opportunity she just releases her emotions out, the ones that were built up inside her, trying to get out. She realised that putting on a mask won't help, as the world won't change so sge accepts who she is. She throws her mask covering all the negative emotions and embraces herself. Beautiful.
Gangle goes by "she", fyi.
@Montesama314 My bad
The fragility of Gangle's happy mask was actually a good thing. A mask that never breaks or falters brings more tension with each crack that is never allowed to be.
Christ you cooked SO HARD with this comment
that analogy goes so hard
OHHHHH
I NEED YOU TO MAKE A METAPHOICAL POEM NOW👹
wait can you clarify what you mean?
21:20 I love how Kinger is the only one that has an A+ even though he wasn't even there.
Because we all love kinger
@@Dat_Guy-IsCool Was thinking the same thing fr 😂
Yep kinger is a cool character
Won by doing nothing
Just enjoying the rodeo
21:19 Kinger going on his own adventure to the farm and getting an A+ seems so wholesome
im so happy for him
You dont see a deletet scene of episode 4 kinger whit caine talking about mikl and cereal
It's funny how not being present period wasn't lead to being judged, since ALL THE OTHERS ended up with the same score.
Bit of a comically large sign that Caine is off his rocker.
agree
I didn't even notice that lmao
Episode 3 and 4 were actually ones that hit different it explains stuff and makes the characters so much more understandable and why they are what they are glitch is cookin
The scene where Gangle throws the mask and smiles made hit me hard. As someone with depression, it does feel like that sometimes. Like the thing that most makes you miserable is hiding those feelings, not the feelings themselves. And when you drop the act, it feels kinda relieving. Even the tragedy mask can smile.
Edit: Watched the chapter again, I noted Gangle says to Jax she has a manic episode, that explains why she started dancing/moving erratically and fell to the traffic, and how she looked so sad when she realized what she had done. I also relate. Mania isn't being too happy, it's more of a state where you're too agitated and "excited", but not actually happy, just makes you more impulsive, more irritable, more alert, more unstable. Gangle is a perfect representation of both depression and bipolar disorder
You ever hear about what happens when a depressed person is suddenly really happy...
i relate as a person with autism, when i don't have to "mask" around people especially in school i feel free and happy, i think gingle has autism
I almost cried with em bro….
@@OhMyGodMuffinsoh that tracks as they ran into traffic. It was an accident but still
And then do you jump over to traffic?
Gotta love the foreshadowing when Gangle talks about not having the time for creating Manga and then in the last scene you see her drawing it. She was projecting her frustrations.
it was a drawing of zooble humanized by the way, could tell :3
The foreshadowing was banger.
Is that what i want say

subtle foreshadowing
16:36 This line is super interesting. Ragatha is portrayed as the emotional rock as the group, but Gangle, who wears a number of masks, probably understands that Ragatha is wearing a mask of her own. Wonder where this line leads to.
Probably won't wait too long considering the next episode relates to Ragatha here!
Gooseworx also said something about how it’s funny how everyone is talking about Evil Ragatha considering episode 5 or something like that. We’ll see!
Ooh, I didn't remember Gooseworx said that. I'm even more excited for the next episode now 🔥
She also just called her annoying so
Seeing Ragatha's true thoughts about everyone this episode was really fascinating. Curiously, we didn't get to hear what she thought of Pomni, but I'm sure that'll come out in a later episode (it seems like every character is getting their spotlight). She doesn't seem like a *bad* person, but definitely not as positive and upbeat as she acts. Her calling Gangle annoying really hurt, though, that shit suuuuuuuuuucks to hear.
Fun fact: Jax treats Pomni as if she is his friend and equal because he got traumatized by the flashing on the screen, and rabbits are fearful of flashing!
18:34 Gangle was so close to abstract in this scene and pomni helping them is so cute, first with kinger and now gangle she is truly a wholesome character without noticing
whats an abstraction
I forgot those things existed
Them?
Oh my gosh wait is that what that was, she was about to abstract?!?!
I only just realised that that was probably what was happening, and you're probably right, thank gosh Pomni is a sweetheart
How did Pomni help Kinger? I saw it as the other way around.
I just love how everyone is slowly and truly turning back into a normal being in a ‘normal life’. Like, Jax’s broken and tired personality, ragatha’s tired and lazy work even if she’s the one helping the others in the last episode. Pomni’s desperate attempt to talk to gumigoo, and gangles depressed side.
You can feel and tell that everyone in the circus is just tired and wants to leave. Even Caine just glitched after gangle left the office.
I also saw some hidden hints on the next episode.
Edit: I’ve also seen that C&A’s logo is in caine’s office and the fast food. The company that propably also turned everyone of them into character’s in this digital circus.
Tell me what are the hints
I wanna know the hints too
@@Zwodder12 18:53 if you look at the board behind gangle you can see a character that we haven’t seen in any of the episodes so it might be a hint.
@@ZyoverZyover what board? is there a timestamp perhaps?
@@Windyumbreon 17:02 this timestamp also shows the hidden character in the board. Just beside the clock and the card holder where gangle held his card much later in the episode.
"i always like seeing what you draw."
THIS SCENE IM SOBBING
edit: I did NOT intend to have a ship war under this comment. I don't ship any of the characters but Gooseworx has stated that she does not care if someone ships any of the TADC characters, so just let that person who brought up cryingtoy ship who they want to ship, it's not hurting anyone because it isn't a proship. Thank you
Lol
I ALSO NOTICED HOW GANGLE WAS DRAWING ZOOBLE HUMANIZED. (This is srs, I could literally tell it was)
@Sparks-Shark STOPPP THATS ADORABLE 😭
I think I just found the new most popular ship
@Sparks-SharkOMGA THATS SO CUTE
Favorite quotes
Jax: “you did not just make that today adventure”
And
Kaine or Cain (how ever you spell it): “you can shut up now”
The environment artists deserve more praise for their work. They really captured the dreamlike feel of early CGI. That shot of Gangle standing under the streetlight was absolutely beautiful.
That part was fucking beautiful, it made it such an inpactful moment
And then Gangle gets isekai'd.
Shatafaka
Dude they were absolutely COOKING with that scene
im so glad someone pointed this out!
so, I guess no one is gonna talk about the fact that pomni literally had to overcome such a great internal battle just so she could tell gumigoo to have a nice day rather than let him know what's' really happening. She could have ruined his life by telling him about what happened, but she decided to spare him. She decided its best if he doesnt know.
also, I love that line "were doing one of these again" like yup pomni keeps having to help other people get through theyre struggles almost every other episode, I'm glad this episode was a little different, since pomni decided to help both gumigoo and Gangle without telling them anything. She lets Gangle go off early, just to let her know people cared about her, not about who she is with or without the mask.
Anyways, cant wait for episode 5!
Also couldn't help but notice that Gummigoo seemed a little bit . . . different in that final interaction.
Kind of like the boys being no longer in earshot allowed him to show just a bit of acknowledgement that he'd previously been holding back.
@@bolbyballinger yeah maybe he was trying to signal that he really doesnt wanna talk about what happened. Maybe he remembers it all but wants to forget about it and leave it in his past, thats probably the message he was trying to communicate to pomni when he looked at her like that.
Pomni understood and said her goodbyes, knowing that since shes staying here infinitely, they'll meet again one day.
@@bolbyballinger Nah, his face screamed "This is really awkward but I don't wanna be impolite." He looks like he's worried she's going to be weird again, and is relieved when she just wishes him a good day.
I think it might not have worked to try telling him about it anyway, or it would be too much for the time Pomni had.
That sad face Gummigoo makes almost seems like he might actually remember… Or more likely, he feels sorry he doesn’t.
@@TMS-Oddbot oh yeah, not that you mention it, i also feel like he might just be trying to say "look, i dont know what's going on with you but i hope you can forgive me if i was important too you at some point."
My best friend is a head chef, and said he related so hard with Gangle during the “breakdown” scenes. Especially the scene where she was just standing there in the dark looking at the empty restaurant. He said it brought back a lot of bad memories.
Good job Goosworx and Glitch for nailing it on the head so hard. I’ve never seen my best friend genuinely relate to a character like that before.
Awesome, RWBY osts guy.
No seriously, the buzzing and the swaying is SPOT ON to how it feels at the end of a long shift
Woah it's you. Thank you for sharing a new perspective
Too real
I share in that. I never even made it to cook; I was trapped in Dishwasher, bounced around to restaurant after restaurant. Some of them were nice - Crackle Barrel was probably the best one, ironically - but the last place I worked at broke me. Dishwasher, prep cook, delivery driver, cashier, and waiter. They literally forced me to work every station. And I did it. Through blood and sweat, I did it. And then they fired me. "Lacking motivation" they said. I was doing five different jobs, and asking to move full time to Driver because I enjoyed it. How is that a lack of motivation? That company has a terrible habit of firing employees left and right - I was just another cog in the wheel, and once I wasn't useful enough anymore, I was thrown out and replaced. Jobs like that, they sap your motivation if you do them for too long. To get your footing, that's a great start, but when you're in them for years, past the point where it's reasonable, it can make you stop and think about the direction you're life is going in.
Gangle's moment just before the end, where she took off the mask, threw it away, and ran out, smiling through her tears... Yeah, that was an allegory for depression and trying a medication that doesn't work or is a placebo. I've been there too. Life is heavy and life is cruel. And I'm not gonna lie, the scene of her getting hit by the truck is a big check box in the "This is purgatory" theory. Which... I kinda hope it isn't, because if it is, why is an AI controlling purgatory. That's silly.
Also, love the icon and name. RWBY is great.
Everyday, they get even crazier😂. Cane’s (how do you spell his name) just torturing them💀
It’s spelled Caine
@ thanks
Fr tho 😭
I love how Ragatha is usually the nicest and moral out of the circus members and seeing her act laid back and lazy while being done working at Spudsy’s is absolutely hilarious.
Makes Gangle's line about Ragatha not being genuine hit harder.
Low key has me worried about what's coming with her.
Is because like in gravity falls food there contains 💉🌿
EDIT : and also probably in the earth of helluva boss
Its Ragatha without the, well, mask. There's something to the idea that Ragatha is trying really hard to present this perfect positive supportive persona but deep down she's just as flawed as everyone else and trying her best.
Ragatha isn’t laid back in this episode she is drunk
16:08 "We're doing another one of these"
I love how she just instantly recognizes the reoccurring pattern of her being some sort of awkward therapist
Lmao true
"Ah. Shit time to become a therapist"
I Actually Didnt Hear That
Wasn’t Kinger the therapist last time?
Pomni almost wet herself when she saw Gummygoo 😂😂😂
At 18:31 I loved the detail of Grangle's happy mask's eyes turning the exact shape of the sad mask. Makes me wonder what would have happened if Pomni wasn't there

When Gummigoo gave that look to Pomni when he was leaving, made me think that he remembered her. It kinda made me cry a little for some reason. Thank you guys for the likes :3
Me too man... We need more Gummigoo
SAME
He also reached out to Pomni when Gangle interrupted them at the table but pulled back.
The expression sort of felt like he was asking her to not make him remember, "Please, let me stay ignorant this time", even though if he does actually remember it's not genuine ignorance.
crybaby
Omg! Ragatha complaining"I've been hurt enough, packages dropped on my head, tea parties, dancing lessons!"
That was a part of the song 'No girls toy', from the Raggedy Anne Movie!
Jax's VA even sang the song as Jax!
OMG THATS SO COOL
SAME I WAS SCREAMING WHEN I HEARD IT THEY SHOULD DO IT FOR RAGATHAS VA XDD
I know!!
Holy smokes that's a cool detail! The movie was pretty cool and to me No Girl's Toy maybe was the most memorable song in it.
I KNEW I recognized that phrasing from somewhere!!!
I was really intrigued by
Gangle mentioning one of her previous jobs and Ragatha saying that she misses her horses!
Ragatha had horses?? It gives me an idea on where or how Raggy live! Maybe she lived near a barn or she was a wealthy person who owned a horse or maybe she was a horse racer.
No, she was referencing the “horseradish” sauce when she was out of it. Edit: 400 likes WTH thx
yea, it's weird to think that they remember, and pomni may remember soon too!

Every episode of TADC is very interesting, and we discover some of the past of the characters. And when the final episodes arrive probably we will discover what is the purpose of that digital world
Shoutout to the person in the live chat that said ‘medication analogy’ bc yeah this ep very much hit in like a mental health metaphor way. ‘The new mask didnt work’ line at the end especially made me think about going through medication to help with mental health (depression, possible bipolar if you take the manic episode joke at more than face value? Whatever it might be) and it not working out. New meds can have all kinds of effects that don’t always work out.
Also the line where Ragatha said that gangle’s kind of annoying when she’s not sad like. Man. Imagine trying to work out and be better and being told you’re more tolerable at your worst.
Good episode, genuinely made me feel things :) love to see gangle spotlight
I think each character is based on a mental disorder like kinger having PTSD gangle maybe having multiple personality disorders because of the multiple masks
I have bipolar and study psychology, and Gangle absolutely has it. I mean, it's a little on-the-nose with the duality of the theater masks, but that's likely how she was BEFORE she wound up in the Digital Circus, so her form fit her true self. As for medication, it is absolutely difficult treating Bipolar, because although pills work wonders, everyone has different brain chemistries, so FINDING the pills that work for you can be a needle in a haystack situation. Switching masks around was a good metaphor for medication.
Owl House also did a damn good job with this symbolism, and Gangle likely has to find the same solution Eda did; in addition to "the medicine" that works, you have to make peace with yourself and your illnesses, because you're always going to have each other. Work together.

Adding on, her "meds" /fixes even if she didn't have/isnt bipolar, could still be making her actually manic, manic episodes can be caused by a mental disorder but also from the wrong medications or wrong doses
Telling her she was annoying while she’s happy broke me 😭😭😭💔 I relate so hard, I genuinely cannot function normally without my medication, but even then people still see me (and her!) as flawed or irritating when we’re literally fighting for our life to be normal and keep it together every day😭 I feel so bad. She’s such a sweetie
The way the mundane atmosphere gives us more time to observe the characters is so smart. They sum up internal conflicts like depression in such an accurate way. And the way all the characters sort of look out for each other is so heartwarming.
Really impressive, the episode was underwhelming for me because maybe I have never seen a show before do things things way when showing a scene, personalities or just characters interacting

Pomni almost wet herself when she saw Gummygoo 😂😂😂
The fact that Pomni accepted that Gummigoo wasn't gonna just magically remember is a nice detail since it shows how her character comes out in a normal(ish) setting
I have a theory that Jax remembers pomni but isn’t allowed to say it or else Caine will punish him…
But it’s just a theory
A FILM THEORY
@ you mean gummigoo?
15:19 Love how Pomni is surprised/on guard when Jax just asks how she’s doing, as though this is the first time he hasn’t tried messing with her. I think antagonising others might be how he copes, that was taken away from him this episode and we see just how down in the dumps he got.
20:55
???
Ponmi × gumigoo forever 💛💚 ❤💙
Hopes he gets a better way to cope by the series end
Or atleast be less violent with it-
I really liked that scene, hope that next episodes we get more interactions between Jax and Pomni
That episode explained me how depressed and stressed you can be when you're managing everything. That episode was cute and wholesome ngl
Yea, you end up making mistakes and struggling while you try to handle your emotions, I've been through it as well.
At the end, you feel like her, you wanted to do your best for the business, but feel like you could have done it much better.
It's a job I do not envy AT ALL
I don't understand how nobody is talking about the way this is supposed to reflect on Caine. I feel like this episode was trying to show what it would look like if another character from the circus took control of running it, it shows how much pressure there really is on Caine.
Pay may be good for manager positions, but dang is it depressing and stressful ESPECIALLY when upper management is completely unhelpful at times.
There are many people who commit s*icide due to so much pressure in real life but I still don't understand why they committed s*icide.
I actually started tearing up during this episode. The way Gangle gives messages with the TV when she draws herself saying you shouldn't care about your dreams, SPECIFICALLY manga. And the fact she's not a crybaby, she's just depressed. It's sad. She never deserved what she went through to feel insecure.
also jax look at us at this moment
@@Ilovejaxsm Pomni almost wet herself when she saw Gummygoo 😂😂😂
brother...
gangle fr became david goggins with the motivation talk

This episode made me realize that maybe the avatars they have in game is not just something random.
Gaggle probably always lived by wearing different masks over her real emotions in her past life
Pomni was probably a fool or a joke to everyone.
Ragatha was someone's puppet?or maybe she was a caretaker?
Zooble's life was a mess
I don't know about kinger
Jax is... a rabbit? I don't what to make of that
One thing i also noticed at the ending is that when zooble was talking to gangle, she wiped the tears on her face and her sad mask now looks like her happy mask, meaning that she no longer need to mask herself and her feelings to be happy. Trully beautiful.
But then hit by the truck

@@valhatan3907 no that was before
I literally just thought that… right before seeing your comment while seeing that scene..
“Guess you’re never getting that unicorn horn, Pomni.”

I really like how the true versions of the characters are starting to unravel. It seems like Gangle was a shift manager who wanted to be a comic artist before entering the circus, and the restaurant gradually reminds her of the past. Pomni, however, seems to try to help her like Kinger did for herself in the previous episode. I also like how Zooble comforted her as well. Pomni and Zooble have a sort of sisterly bond with Gangle here, and I love it. Pomni’s starting to adjust to the circus, this becoming better at handling the adventures. It really does raise question for who’s going to have the next emotional drop of lore in the next episode.
bet this was first trauma crack for jax
Gooseworx said the next episode will focus on Ragatha
@@SpaIunkers Great choice; I wonder if we’ll learn more about her horses.
My bet’s on Caine
Only a matter of time before we get one on Jax
I like how Cane is not being rude or mean to Gangle during the "evaluation" yet hurting them, he is just completely disconnected from what his "employee" feels/thinks
The issue is that unlike them, he's an AI and therefore cannot truly feel or understand how others are feeling.
Because he`s is an AI
Why do I feel like that Caine would be the employee at McDonald’s that always forgets what people order
I mean, it's just like in real-life jobs, so...
Sometimes his behaviour feels less like an AI and more like a narcissist. Not in the exaggerated insult way, but in the "everyone here is representing a mental illness to show its struggle without it being a damning thing, and here's this one" way
“Packages landing on my head, tea parties, dancing lessons” I love the Raggedy Ann and Andy ref

@@Blank-yf1sr WHEN THAT REF CAME ON, I NEARLY YELLED 😭
@TBX-j8u IK I WENT WILD XDDD
This episode is, in my eyes, the most chilling one yet, really thriving in the horror department. It’s so clear that Caine is struggling to keep this world and himself together - not even emotionally, just in a literal way. These people are trapped on a sinking ship, there is water pouring from the walls. Not to mention, all the glimpses into the pasts of our circus crew? Incredible stuff. I think… I think I’ll give it a B+
I know the common comparison for Gangle's new mask is that she is effectively masking and suppressing her emotions. But I also think it could go a step further. When I first watched this episode I thought the new plastic mask symbolized or was a placeholder for medication. Especially when at the end of the episode Zooble said "the new mask was a bust...I'm sure we'll find something that works eventually." Because something that people don't realize is that just because you begin medication doesn't mean you suddenly solve all your problems. Sometimes it can actually make it worse or compound the problem. It can be very disheartening to think you are getting better, that you're taking the right steps and everyone says you aren't or that you were better off before you started getting medicated. It's a process, sometimes the dosage is wrong or sometimes you need to switch to a different medication. Although I can definitely see why people attribute the new mask as more of a coping mechanism and I do agree with that interoperation, but I just wanted to get my thoughts out there to.
Dang, I hadn't thought about it that way. I love that interpretation though, the idea that you can do all the good stuff and still not feel better can be really tough to get through.
my brain went to the exact same place, and as somebody who searched for years to find the right combination of medications, this feels like a really accurate portrayal of that.
I personally am extremely uninformed on such topics, but the mask being an allegory for medication was my first thought on my first watchthrough of the episode, especially with the "I feel normal, in a good way" in the beginning, felt very much like she felt it was influencing her in a good way, and then the way she grows more manic as it becomes clear its not working out for her- and yeah the comment at the end really sealed it for me, it makes me wonder if you could expand this comparison of the idea of replacing parts being a form of medication in how they alter themselves, specifically in how Zooble feels uncomfortable with their body and has been trying out loads of new parts.
The fact it was Zooble who introduced Gangle to the mask also adds to this- a friend with experience here offering something that might fit for Gangle
Definitely my new favourite episode all in all, likely in part due to Gangle being my favourite character
Yeah I went through like 6 antidepressants before landing on the one I'm on now. It's the only one that's worked for longer than a year. Such a nice feeling when you finally do find the right one.
@@wolfmoon256 YEARS!?!?? That's a thing that can happen? 😟
I love how immersed the characters were with the scenario. Like, they don't treat it like an adventure, they treat it as an actual shift, and rather than just being sent back to the circus straight after their shift ends they have to get into their respective cars and leave. That truly is the *amazing* part of this show.
I have a feeling that once they get to there. "House" and take a nap they will wake up back in the circus
I have to wonder if it's similar enough to their past human lives that they just slid right into the routine like it was real life. Really only pomni had difficulty understanding the flow of things it seems.
for a second i thought the adventure was just gonna force them to keep working more shifts
@spiderscout8407en realidad no tuvo problemas para adaptarse, solo que le paso la situación de: "me encontré con mí crush de hace años en el trabajo pero el no se acuerda de mi"
It's me or this seemed more like a videogame than Caine's chatgtp adventures?
Like nothing is breaking apart, the loop behaves on an orderly manner and the adventure ends with a scoreboard and an exit to the hub instead of Caine cutting a portal.
17:17 I really like the parallels between Jax and gangle here, as much as Jax messes with gangle they’re similar in the sense that they’re always wearing a mask. Gangles literally always wearing a mask (though in this episode metaphorically too, and she probably was like this when she was a shift manager in the real world) and Jax seems to be wearing a mask metaphorically around the others
Ooh! I love this comment sm- I was fr thinking Gangle was giving Jax the torture treatment for a second (your comment fits so feel bc he cared more about how people would see him in the moment than what would happen)
Oh! Yes! This is the start of an overall comment I wanted to make about the cast this episode (besides Kinger, since he’s absent for the most part): I think most of the characters mask what they feel - like you say, Gangle tries to be a good manager, but struggles masking her true feelings of depression from the constant stress of the corporate environment, Jax messes with everyone, but in reality, is just as done with everything as everyone else, and to add on, Ragatha tries to maintain the peace between everyone, but reveals her (potentially) true feelings about everyone while effected by the Stupid Sauce, however, she normally acts too nice to say anything, Pomni has to hide her true feelings regarding her and Gumigoo’s past experience together and her deadpan nature to make sure everything goes smoothly, and even Caine kind of tweaks after Gangle exits his office after the work evaluation, but the only one who does not ever “wear a mask” is Zooble, and they don’t act like a poser in any way. And Gangle clearly realizes this (like when commenting on Ragatha’s extreme niceness)
The only person who acts consecutively consistent with their personality in terms of acting like their “true self” is Zooble. They never pretend, don’t sugarcoat things, nor are they afraid of speaking their mind or expressing their feelings. They say things how they are and will call you out on your bullshit. This is why someone like Zooble is so important to have as a friend to Gangle because they are outwardly transparent and genuine about everything, even if it isn’t all sugarcoated and pretty. However, they are real, which is something Gangle probably wants in her life (as her avatar is a literal embodiment of “acting” “theatre” “masking” - all things that are fiction and the opposite of reality) but Zooble’s personality embodies someone who is genuine and that’s what makes their friendship so beautiful, because it portrays reality
MMMM-YELO?
Got me dying😂😂😂
This episode was actually very wholesome at the end, seeing Zooble being friends with Gangle was sweet. Best episode by far I’d say.
Some people are saying ship, between theses two, I’m really scared if the fandom is going to be mha shipping level…
This was definitely Gangle's episode.
@abasalk6843ships are inevitable
Same❤❤❤❤
Yea
It took me until the end of the episode to realize, but whenever Jax breaks Gangles comedy mask the tragedy mask is still on. When they put on other masks their depression isn't actually hidden, even when it isn't showing through their masks. It's not gone, just hidden. No idea if this was obvious to anyone else, but i liked the detail
Yes! I actually believe that the comedy mask and that new plastic masks are like medication. Everything just fits, "We'll find one that works." not to mention the downward manic spiral from having the 'wrong' mask, one that doesn't work right for them. Gangle doesn't really express a need to hide their depression, only that having the comedy mask, and for a bit the plastic mask, makes them FEEL better. That, to me, sounds like it is the same as medication for depression then, rather than an attempt to 'mask/hide emotions'. That's the only way I can see it now!

The fact that as soon as Jax leaves the building he just, stops smiling really indicates more about his character, like as soon as he’s alone he just gives up on the “smile all the time” thing, I can’t wait to learn more about him and his facade, he’s definitely a jerk don’t get me wrong, but something is definitely up

True.
What a great episode this one is. This really speaks to the human condition. This show full of incredible foreshadowing, a rich story, and very lovable characters.
I actually loved seeing more from Jax this episode. I like the moments where he’s just acting normal and not rude.

He was getting tortured this episode 😭
Yeah. It was satisfying to see Gangle finally getting back at him (in a way), and I felt vaguely sorry for him by the end of this episode.

we gotta get you out the hood
The idea that this episode doesn't have any sort of villain that needs to be concurred, or any direct goal or anything, but is just "work a single shift and go home" makes it such a great environment for the characters to really develop. I did like how Jax was absolutely exhausted from attempting to keep his smile on, no matter how ironic it usually is for him to have it, and how Ragatha stopped holding back the things she typically thinks of people after she gets Stupid Sauce in her eye.
Which brings a question: does Ragatha get tunnel vision from only having 1 eye, or can she see out of the button?
And that kids is the shower thoughts winning (but seriously, tho can she see out of the other eye?)
Edit:My goodness, I left this 2 months ago and I have over a hundred likes I really need to start checking my youtube notifications more
Honestly, I think it was pretty cool that the special sauce sort of made her say her true feelings, and I have the same question, can she see out of her button eye?!
Agreed, and I think she can probably see out the button
Well, Kinger can hold his breath without a mouth or nose. So why wouldn't she be able to see out of a button eye?
Better question, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT HELLSPAWN THAT RESEMBLED GANGLE!
13:17 interesting how we get small hints of characters past life like this: Queeny/Kinger having something related to bugs in their job (I don’t just mean the insect), Gangle wanting to be a mangaka, Ragatha once being on a farm/ranch, Zooble and Pomni (not stated in show) with Zooble as a tattoo artist and Pomni once being an accountant, and every character at least being in/related to office work in the company
Kinger worked with Computers, iirc, so technically bugs? But not actual insects like he says.
Kinger said he was in the computer science field.
@ I didn’t specify what bugs
On Tumblr it was said that Pomni was an accountant!
Ikr! Like 13:33
If gangle was my boss, I would proudly work for her. I bet she'd actually be a reasonably good boss. The kind of boss who hangs with his or her co-workers and doesn't make it it weird.

This feels more human than any past episodes. I manage a small family business myself, and I get why Gangle broke up in the end. It's very difficult to motivate others and connect with employees while being the one who's in charge of assigning them work. The little anime-esque representation of Gangle's breaking point is a cool little nod to her real dream. Kudos, this was certainly a step forward in every aspect.

You know, reading a lot of people's comments here, including yours and how I've also been feeling about life, it's just so sad to me that a lot of people go through such pressure and feelings, especially dealing with external input on how to act and how to feel.

18:30 I really appreciate the meaning of this scene, like how some other commenters are speculating that this may have been the beginnings of an abstraction (aka going insane), it gives a good portrayal of how depression both looks and feels, especially when someone else is there.
Gangle may have gone insane if Pomni hadn’t merely spoken. It goes to show how even just talking to someone can really snap them out of a depressive episode or something similar in real life. A few words or an offer to help can actually HELP someone a lot more than you think, and it’s exactly what Gangle needed. You’re great, Pomni, you just saved someone’s life. (Well, as much of a life someone has in the circus)
Yes i agree
Holy damn, you’re right. I didn’t even consider that she was near the point of abstraction !
As a person that has literally gone insane, this series has been phenomenal- in both connection, and representation. It's really just about the aspects of daily life that push you over the edge until you can't take it anymore and it just slowly makes you snap until before you know it, you're crazy. (im fine now btw I got dissociative amnesia so we all good)
17:59 this scene feels so real for some reason. despite the little things that happen around you, the numbness of your own feelings seem to stop time and you feel lonely. almost as if you are “loved” but you can’t feel the love and you still feel alone. i feel gangle’s pain tho. i feel like she has a hard time being accepted in any way. when she’s sad, she’s a “pushover” and a weak “crybaby”. but when she’s finally “happy” and at her best, most of them still find her annoying and tell her “i like you better when you’re sad”. Like can you imagine? When you finally feel a little more like yourself, when you’re just trying to be the best you can be, when you’re simply trying to improve as a person, someone just dismisses your efforts like that. when that happens, it’s like “i already tell myself i’m not good enough, so this certainly didn’t help….”. But i love Zooble and Gangle’s friendship. Zooble always tries to help Gangle find something that makes her feel like herself, because they know what it feels like to not feel satisfied with yourself. Very wholesome

I AM NOT READING ALL THAT 😨
tl;dr for these people bc i can i guess: this person relates to gangle a lot because they don’t feel at home with themselves and zooble is cool as well
Dang, that goes deep.😢
new suggestion for the next episode: they could go on a never ending car ride with caine driving!
Sadly that would be cool, but all the scripts have already been written for every episode
"I just want to wish you a pleasant day; thank you for eating at Spudsy's."
I think this line from Pomni really shows how well she's developed since the Pilot. Instead of still being in denial about her new life and trying desperately to get Gumigoo to remember her, she accepts the situation for what it is and allows Gumigoo to leave, but also using her CR roleplay to convey how she still cherishes her first real friend in the Amazing Digital Circus.
Seeing Pomni being with Gummigoo was so sad and bittersweet. They really knocked the return out of the park
OH MY GOD, THAT SCENE WHERE GANGLE JUMPED INTO UNCOMING TRAFFIC AND WHEN SHE SMILED MADE MY HEART BURST, THAT TRAFFIC SCENE MAFE ME SCREAM. That was an AMAZING episode.
AWWEE
Frr it felt like an anime tbh and the feeling to be free of your own prison.
amphibia fan in the wild?
REAL TBH
FR BEST ONE YET
