Can we stop and appreciate the fact Adum is probably the only person actually asking for permission to stream other people’s content. One of the many things I love about him
Yeah he's always done a really good job at trying to be fair and respectful with how he goes about making content. Viewers like me may not always agree with every opinion, but we know he's a genuine dude that cares about doing these things correctly
Jacksfilms had a whole phase where he was asking people to submit their content for him to react too on stream and he’d give his thoughts on it. I think he gave up on that after a couple months, though.
Discourse around popular indie animations can be so bloody excruciating it’s refreshing for somebody to just watch it normally. Good on him for getting permission too!
I didn’t realise until rewatching it now with Adum’s reaction - dunno how I didn’t lmao, it’s so clear!! Such a cool voice quirk to match Jax’s mouth design, I noticed way more details like that on my second watch. They really pulled all the stops with the pilot
Walked through the mall and there was a kiosk that was almost all bootleg Digital Circus merch. It's infuriating but who am I gonna tell that to? The high teenager watching the kiosk? It sucks.
@@eddiepeach3975they kinda already addressed this in the update video from a few months ago.

I mean, just the quality of animation already tells you there are some giga talented people working on this. It's safe to assume that anything you see is 100% intentional and not any sort of shortcut to compensate for lack of skill or time.
I'm a firm believer that this series should be short, maybe 8 episodes MAX. Set up the mystery and the threat, learn more about and lose some characters along the way, find some darker truths hidden below the surface, and end with either no ambiguity or by coming full circle.
@@sunbleachedangel "In February 2024, Glitch confirmed the series would consist of nine episodes in addition to the pilot, which would be "upgraded" to episode 1."
Gotta admit, I haven't seen or heard a single thing about digital circus until my lil sister walked up to me 2 days ago and asked if she could see digital circus. Then I started seeing it everywhere in my local shop, advertisements, twitter, just everywhere. Its weird lmao
Incredible show. Adam despite you not being an animator, I do appreciate your takes on the subject. You don't need to know the 12 principles to observe and realize the subtleties of such work. Keep up the good work Olivia, wish the best for you going forward
Gooseworx is probably my favourite artist when it comes indie character design and animation projects, the animations on her channel are fun to back to and see what humour and design choices carried over to Amazing Digital Circus
Okayyy the hype and content farming did completely ruin this show's reputation for me (I was worried it had 0 value outside of getting money from children) so I never even gave it a shot, but I'm super pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the pilot! Going to go put it on in the bg to give the channel a view, now
@littlemoth4956 Come to find out you CAN have smoke without any fire! I can admit the stuff I saw as red flags were actually just my own biases, you live and you learn lol
The weird thing about all of that is I don't think Gooseworx even meant for the show to appeal to kids, it's likely for everyone to enjoy. But content farms just saw the designs and went "bright colorful characters? It must be for kids!!!"
That’s why you ignore that stuff Internet, especially modern internet, is designed to ruin most things. You only hurt yourself by buying into the content farm shilling. The only reason you like anything is cuz you experienced it before other ppl got to it.
I'm excited to see where it goes. It's rare to see UA-cam animation do dark subject matter without going full edgelord. Makes it a good entry point for younger people. Need more of that.
you should check gooseworx's other works, they're also really great/have a very similar touch, if a bit more abstract than TADC. i think "Little Runmo" is still my favorite cartoon from gooseworx (i love that animation a bunch) but digital circus is still great too.
I’m really hoping this series will get better with each new episode. Glitches other popular works, Murder Drones, I felt really had a strong start but each episode was just paced so poorly to the point where I wasn’t really interested in what was happening narratively. Hopefully this show doesn’t meet that same fate.
For me the best and scariest episode will always be episode 2. I really loved the unique concepts and the monster was amazing. I liked the series but i will admit it isnt as scary as i hoped it would be. It really peaked on episode 2
@@ezgames6925 even tho i still watch the show i do agree that the camp episode is the weakest one alongside the pilot. Sad cause the visuals were fantastic and i loved the oil-flesh deformities.
I watched it a while ago, and yeah first episode hooked me in but I couldn't tell if I just wasn't absorbing what was happening or if there were things just not making sense pacing wise, it's interesting enough I kept watching but I felt so lost the during some episodes
My kids love Amazing Digital Circus. There's only like 2 episodes but millions of fan videos. I know more about it than I want to know. According to the ADC character personality test, I'm more a Jax
The Autarch of flame voice acts the tooth eye circus master which I find incredible because I remember watching a ton of his top 10 lists with Josh Scorcher when I was a teenager. Its awesome seeing old UA-cam channels spike in improvement of their quality of work. Seriously If Alex Rochan sees this comment I'm glad you're becoming a successful voice actor in the industry!
He was the main reason I even checked out the show. I also grew up with his top 10s when I was in school. Couple that with Michael Kovach voicing Jax when I originally knew him as Angel Dust's pilot VA.
Every time I finish a video from yms highlights I feel accomplished because a wolf woman tells me thank you for watching. Other youtube channels need this
Its really something to see Caine's voice actor, Alex, have a starring role in such a popular web series. Long time back, he just used to do top 10 videos, sometimes collabed with another youtuber I would watch, Joshscorcher, and later on would start getting into voice impressions. He has a pretty good impression of Hades from Kid Icarus Uprising, and a fantastic rendition of Spamton. At one point, he and quite a few other tubers would have had roles in an indie game called Fiona Frightening and the Wicked Wardrobe. Sadly, that one was cancelled, but you can probably still find the trailer for the characters thet woukd have played. I think Alex was suppossed to play the part of a ghostly Mafia boss.
Content farm videos make me actually feel sick, I can't imagine how that psychic damage affects actual children who don't have the context of good media to interpret what's bad.
i liked kinger’s design before i even knew what he was from because he reminds me of the king from hatoful boyfriend holiday star. i named my bird after that wacky character
amazing digital circus has got to be the thing with the biggest "fanbase to absolutely zero actual content" ratio ever its literally just a pilot episode and nothing else. but people have somehow dedicated their lives around it
I remember seeing the trailer sometime back on Goosework's channel and getting hype for it. And when the pilot came out I absolutely loved it ended up watching the vid multiple times within the release day. I'm glad it's getting the appreciation it's getting though it's at the cost of getting some elsa/spiderman content farming treatment.
Something worth noting, the set of the show isn't meant to look "video-gamey", it's meant to emulate really old CGI from the 80's and early 90's. The mannequin people, the checkerboard floor for perspective, the pipes everywhere, there were also some references to iconic old-school CGI, like the tower of merry-go-rounds stacked on top of eachother, and the face that flew at the camera. The show is just packed full of references to and imagery of very very old CGI.
@@themac6356 Yeah, teapots were a popular model of choice for old school CGI because they were objects covered in round surfaces that are highly reflective - teapots were chosen to show off how good the smooth, reflective surfaces of your CGI models are.
I think I'm reading into it way too much, but in response to the escalator bit, if there was a hum, then Jax is an asshole, but if there is no escalator hum, then he's an asshole AND a bald-faced liar.
I personally love this pilot for it's simple cartoon concept and it's quality animation, music, and in my opinion, humor. Cool to see adum enjoys the work put into this pilot. It doesn't deserve to be roped into content farm hell
It's impressive but I watched it with my parents which was a great gauge and the start was utterly insufferable and it didn't really become good until near the end. Rocky's actor in particular was horrid.
@@drifter402 haha i could get that tumbler cat character saying poetry with a violin won't vibe with everyone. Rocky is my favorite tho I like his range of being a sentimental artist/performer while also being a reckless almost unhinged go-getter.
It's a shame to hear that Adum didn't really get much mileage out of Lackadaisy. I really liked the style and setting choice of it all. I can't seem to find the vod where he watched Lackadaisy, but if someone finds it could they let me know? Thanks in advance.
I don't really understand why the content farms are a "problem" the show has, the show didn't create the content farms, content farmers just latched onto the thing.
Exactly, pretty sure the creator made a statement about how much content farms of TADC make her uncomfortable too. Like it’s not any of the team’s fault creepy content farms exist. Horrible people preying on kids and their attention spans aren’t gonna stop the grind just because the person they’re ripping off says it upsets them.
@@wispisangI think I know what happens. This usually happens to media nowadays with kiddy/cartoonish visuals and a darker subplot to peel back. Its a cool concept, sure, but especially when it's in this format that forces it to be PG, PG-13 at worst, it makes it perfect fodder for content farms.
I love Gooseworx stuff, but I just wish this show had the confidence to know whether it wants to appeal to kids exclusively or not. It plays out like baby's first existential horror, either way. I can only hope for the team for better things in the future.
I haven't finished this clip yet but i want to mention the animation Adum really liked was animated by the "what's the matter Martha" guy and he has the development of animating the clatter teeth guy on his UA-cam
I HAVE A JAR FOR THAT CAINE MINIATURE IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN OH YEAH BABY glow in the dark paint spots to make a fairy jar and a moon cut out so that caine and moon can have a starlit picnic date because they're bestest buds and deserve to treat themselves every now and again.
No bad for a independent digital circus pilot and first time see Adam actually liked the the first digital episode. People go nuts for this show even these dudes like the Pomni clown girl is beyond too weird because she kept as an deviant art fan service style which I don’t go too far (prevs) and she’s the main character who stuck in the digital world which they’re planning the next few episodes so who knows if making her character a driven or understanding? Overall, good pilot episode and first time seeing Adam enjoy and invested this concept of the digital animated pilot.
I think the issue with the characters not feeling very developed from the pilot is because the setting is such a small, contained (like, literally contained) world that they kinda have to show all of the characters in the pilot, but obviously don't have enough time to develop them all.
10:59 Looks like I'm not the only one who gets a headache from Caine. I don't hate him but he's a bit much. I'm not the biggest fan but I love indie animation popping off on UA-cam. I hope more series get started.
This show has potential and I hope it gets past its "quirky" writing like when Caine says "Why are you like this?" And it tries too hard to be unsettling.
caine dialogue is probably gonna stay like this, unfortunately for you specifically, I dig it a lot. honestly, if its trying to genuinely be unsettling, im not seeing it. it almost feels like its trying to parody that kind of "cutesy but fucked up when you look deeper" type media that's been super popular because they jump straight into it without really hiding anything
I just hope the main character moves on from being the constantly baffled audience surrogate. I can see how weird everything is, if the characters keep quipping about it instead of adjusting, then it'll be very one-note.
I was hoping you had studied the 12 principles of animation before watching this video and I'm going to have to unsubscribe. Your laziness and unwillingness to apply the 12 principles of animation into you're work astounds me
42:23 I was primed for "safe"-for-youtube cosplay of inconceivably hard to embody characters getting preg 44:57 this bout of brain cell loss is not what I was expecting.
ADC is super cute but like with most webshows, little kids are being exposed to some gross shit through it (via the content farms or the older fans who are weird and cringe with it). Leave Pomni alone
I mean people are obviously allowed to make nsfw stuff, all the characters in the show are adults. The real problem is content farms showing it to children.
Gloink queen shes the queen of the lil guys which are gloinks! I dont think the humans are ai The only ai are the npcs (mannequins and gloink queen) , caine and bubble!
Really love Digital Circus with the animation and the psychological story; but holy shit those content farms….a freaking nightmare Really hope Adum checks out Lack-a-Daisy as well; really great pilot as well
Scratches the same itch that mascot horror does. Childish-looking things twisted into something scary and more mature is a home run in the tween demographics who want something more edgy than standard fare.
@@henrynelson9301scary is not the right word to describe adc yes its dark but its specifically a dark comedy even kaufmo (the eyw monster) is animated very hillariously

Something I wanna add is that Jax voice actor was talking through his teeth the entire time.

The lead animator for this show is Kevin Temmer who is also a brilliant song writer. I would recommend his UA-cam channel.
Hey that’s me but you already know, I’m gonna tell you things I could probably show, hey welcome to the world I live in! (What?) It’s the exposition!
yo, that's way cool! I knew he worked on Murder Drones but I didn't stop to wonder if he worked on tasm as well. His animations are amazing.
He did some work on the ice age movies, and it definitely showed during the second episodes

5:11 no wonder many people seen this Digital Circus video and I never seen it for so long. I heard about it and they’ve been talking about it a lot.
Since this is so positive, this vid won't get that many views, thus people still think Adam is a hater
It's a shame to hear that Adum didn't really get much mileage out of Lackadaisy. I really liked the style and setting choice of it all. I can't seem to find the vod where he watched Lackadaisy, but if someone finds it could they let me know? Thanks in advance.
I don't really understand why the content farms are a "problem" the show has, the show didn't create the content farms, content farmers just latched onto the thing.
Exactly, pretty sure the creator made a statement about how much content farms of TADC make her uncomfortable too. Like it’s not any of the team’s fault creepy content farms exist. Horrible people preying on kids and their attention spans aren’t gonna stop the grind just because the person they’re ripping off says it upsets them.
@@wispisangI think I know what happens. This usually happens to media nowadays with kiddy/cartoonish visuals and a darker subplot to peel back. Its a cool concept, sure, but especially when it's in this format that forces it to be PG, PG-13 at worst, it makes it perfect fodder for content farms.
I love Gooseworx stuff, but I just wish this show had the confidence to know whether it wants to appeal to kids exclusively or not. It plays out like baby's first existential horror, either way. I can only hope for the team for better things in the future.
It meant for a broad audience
It can appeal to many age demographics. My first horror cartoon was Courage the Cowardly Dog- kids loved it and so did the parents!
The first time I watched this I misheard Kinger's name as Klinger, and now I can't stop hearing him in Jamie Farr's voice.
I haven't finished this clip yet but i want to mention the animation Adum really liked was animated by the "what's the matter Martha" guy and he has the development of animating the clatter teeth guy on his UA-cam
That content farm...... thing at the end of the video gave me cancer. Thanks Olivia 😂
I HAVE A JAR FOR THAT CAINE MINIATURE
IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
OH YEAH BABY
glow in the dark paint spots to make a fairy jar and a moon cut out so that caine and moon can have a starlit picnic date because they're bestest buds and deserve to treat themselves every now and again.
oh my god that tooth guy with the eyes in the mouth guy is sooooo distressing to watch but I love it!
Caine
No bad for a independent digital circus pilot and first time see Adam actually liked the the first digital episode. People go nuts for this show even these dudes like the Pomni clown girl is beyond too weird because she kept as an deviant art fan service style which I don’t go too far (prevs) and she’s the main character who stuck in the digital world which they’re planning the next few episodes so who knows if making her character a driven or understanding?
Overall, good pilot episode and first time seeing Adam enjoy and invested this concept of the digital animated pilot.
I guess you could say Caine’s animation is a *feast for the eyes*!
Episode 2 just dropped yesterday. Hopefully Adum will watch the next episode!
"Also I'm fucking Autistic" took me out. Thanks man. I felt genuinely seen. 😅
I think the issue with the characters not feeling very developed from the pilot is because the setting is such a small, contained (like, literally contained) world that they kinda have to show all of the characters in the pilot, but obviously don't have enough time to develop them all.
10:59 Looks like I'm not the only one who gets a headache from Caine. I don't hate him but he's a bit much. I'm not the biggest fan but I love indie animation popping off on UA-cam. I hope more series get started.
This show has potential and I hope it gets past its "quirky" writing like when Caine says "Why are you like this?" And it tries too hard to be unsettling.
caine dialogue is probably gonna stay like this, unfortunately for you specifically, I dig it a lot. honestly, if its trying to genuinely be unsettling, im not seeing it. it almost feels like its trying to parody that kind of "cutesy but fucked up when you look deeper" type media that's been super popular because they jump straight into it without really hiding anything
(Watching the pilot.)
"That was neat."
(Watching the response video address the weird fans.)
"I fully endorse TADC, and have also become a weird fan."
I just hope the main character moves on from being the constantly baffled audience surrogate. I can see how weird everything is, if the characters keep quipping about it instead of adjusting, then it'll be very one-note.
Shes still pretty sensitive but yeah most weird things happwnd in episode 1 so in episode 2 she develops!
huge props for actually asking first
I think the person voicing the sun is the sailor moon from SMA I think they were also Bulma in dbza
I loved TADC ep. 1. I personally prefer its humor to that found in the Vivziepop shows, even though I love Helluva and Hazbin.
I can’t believe anyone remembers “WHACKED!” Let alone Addum.
That saw game get me out of here lives rent free in my head
I can understand the comparison to Whacked. The announcer does seem to have the same voice.
This kinda feels like Six Characters in Search of an Author for zoomers, and I like that
They crushed it.
@YMS Highlights Since you are covering Indie Animation, you should try some of the more underground Indie Animation like The Obsidian Archives.
I was hoping you had studied the 12 principles of animation before watching this video and I'm going to have to unsubscribe. Your laziness and unwillingness to apply the 12 principles of animation into you're work astounds me
y'ruoe*
The best part of the rule 34 joke is that you can clearly see it's of Pomni by the colors.
Gooseworx is chill like that
Seen rule34 of this character but nothing else
22:48 - Perfect Timing.
42:23 I was primed for "safe"-for-youtube cosplay of inconceivably hard to embody characters getting preg 44:57 this bout of brain cell loss is not what I was expecting.
ADC is super cute but like with most webshows, little kids are being exposed to some gross shit through it (via the content farms or the older fans who are weird and cringe with it). Leave Pomni alone
I mean people are obviously allowed to make nsfw stuff, all the characters in the show are adults. The real problem is content farms showing it to children.
My favorite part is the Glob-whatever queen being an allegory for a paperclip maximizer AI, hinting at what everyone is.
Gloink queen shes the queen of the lil guys which are gloinks!
I dont think the humans are ai
The only ai are the npcs (mannequins and gloink queen) , caine and bubble!
@Videospiel-Man5730
When I say AI, I mean artificial intelligence. Even those uploaded are still artificial. Thus, are AI in my book.
Really love Digital Circus with the animation and the psychological story; but holy shit those content farms….a freaking nightmare
Really hope Adum checks out Lack-a-Daisy as well; really great pilot as well
Aside from the good animation and the unique aesthetic I'm not really sure why this is so popular?
Scratches the same itch that mascot horror does. Childish-looking things twisted into something scary and more mature is a home run in the tween demographics who want something more edgy than standard fare.
Bright colors and funny voices, as well as still technically being in the trend of “cute thing but it’s scary”
they all want to have s*x with the jester girl. easy as that
“This thing is good and great, why do people like it?”
@@henrynelson9301scary is not the right word to describe adc yes its dark but its specifically a dark comedy even kaufmo (the eyw monster) is animated very hillariously
That last one is such a painful migraine to watch........ 😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣
