I blame the japanese. Everyone wants to kill God now because every anime and JRPG did it and now it's just so incredibly done to death that it has lost its luster.

Go Nagai is a genius, but the negative fallout of Devilman on the theological zeitgeist is immeasurable

Oh also Murder Drones is on Prime Video now.

Honestly I don't get the point of putting their series on presumably paid services (I don't use Prime anything so I don't know but I would assume it's a paid service correct me if wrong.) when you can always just watch them for free on Youtube and they even say this in the community post that they will continue to post their series on Youtube regardless so I don't really see why they would agree to host a free series that will theoretically make them no money?

It's probably just a fair and standard give-and-take deal for both.
I’ve never bought a streaming service and never will, but for people on the fence or fans of this kind of content, having Murder Drones available on Prime might be a nice bonus. Plus, watching it there could be a way to support the creators financially if that is a thing prime does.

On the flip side, the creators benefit from Prime’s funding and visibility. If they did keep creative control and that wasn't just a corpo meme, that’s a win-win.
More resources for them, viewers for prime, and more exposure for the series.

Extra exposure ig, doesn't hurt to appeal to the normgroids that pay for streaming.

Its paid, but its a package deal that comes with Amazon Prime shipping. Which is the primary service you would pay Prime for, so its more of an "extra" put on top of the service you actually want.

New Digital Circus Episode

My favorite troon core show just got a new ep-ACK!

New Digital Circus Episode

Worst episode so far.

This was really bad.

New Digital Circus Episode

This one was kind of disappointing tbh.

TADC isn't great at episode structure. Half the time it feels like they have a vague idea that involves 2 or 3 characters while they don't know what to do with the rest of the cast. This time it was somehow worse.

The episode felt like a bunch of different unrelated scenarios barely held togheter by the semblance of a plot. Very disjointed and not at all cohesive.

The scene where the characters just start giving verbal exposition about their past was so stilted and cringe. I felt like Ragatha's VA was doing a worse job than usual but I can't exactly explain why.

I didn't exactly have high expectations after I saw the pilot, but I was interested in the concept. Now is evident it's just going to be a bunch of meandering episodes that go nowhere while the characters interact awkwardly.

Worst episode so far.

Agree.

Goose said on twitter that this was the second most indulgent episode. So apparently things are going to get worse than Jax in a maid outfit. The most indulgent one is supposedly going to be episode 8. Maybe that will be the Jax-centric episode.

Also did anyone else notice the pandering to the shippers? Gangle and Zooble aren't the focus of the episode, but there's some scenes of Zooble being attentive with Gangle and praising her art. Goose also mentioned she liked this ship in the past.

The episode is also pretty heavy on Jax's and Pomni's quickly developing friendship, but it wouldn't be too hard to interpret the scenes as at least somewhat romantic. Specially the star gazing one. From what I've seen, "bunnydoll" shippers are pretty happy.

Not having romantic relationship is not a bad thing, but I don't think it makes much sense to say that will having pairings you clearly favor over others.

 

[Father Karras]

Honestly this is probably one of my favorites so far, granted I'm pretty sure I've only seen episodes 3 and 4 once. 2 is probably the best though

I have never cared in my life about shipping fictional characters. Because of that, it took me most of the episode to realize it was fandom-bait, which is why it felt so awkward and creepy. I don't interact with the fandom at all, so this whole episode felt really out-of-context.

I guess that's just the nature of Internet media these days. Creators have a direct line to their audience more than ever. Still feels kind of creepy to someone like me who just watches cartoons for the hell of it instead of trying to be a part of a "community." Idk if I'm making sense.

You do. TADC isn't the only series with this problem, and it's not a new one. Creators might "like" certain ships, likewise with fans, so when they're in close contact they start to feed into each other.

 

[Castoreum]

Man, that's gross as fuck.

It's what happens when all you care about is either jerking off or playing dollhouse.

 

[Slideshow Bill]

The Tranny that created Digital Circus used trepanation to contact dark spirits to make their mediocre indie cartoon a massive success at the cost of it being a horrific corrupting influence upon the youth. Prove me wrong.

After bargaining with demons to be a massive success, corrupting the youth isn't a cost, it's a bonus.

I don't get why it takes fucking forever for an episode when animation fuck ups are justified in universe.

TADC isn't great at episode structure. Half the time it feels like they have a vague idea that involves 2 or 3 characters while they don't know what to do with the rest of the cast. This time it was somehow worse.

They managed to do a narrative self goal by always having the entire cast on the adventure, so instead of having easy writing task of only 2-3 characters, they are doomed to either separate the party or have everyone not important fucking around and wasting time.

The animation has gotten better since the pilot, but I don't think is necessary?? The backgrounds are just liminal spaces with random shit on them and the characters are usually just doing mundane stuff. It's not like we need super detailed rendering

They managed to do a narrative self goal by always having the entire cast on the adventure, so instead of having easy writing task of only 2-3 characters, they are doomed to either separate the party or have everyone not important fucking around and wasting time.

They also refuse to do B plots for some reason? Usually we get Pomni and the character the episode is focused on pairing up while the rest fucks off, but they could be doing something.

The cast is pretty big and there's only going to be 8 episodes, they can't afford to waste time. We could have had Gangle's and Zooble's friendship developing in the background for example. Or Kinger and Ragatha interacting more so we get a look at her mommy issues before she has to explain them.

Finally got around to watching murder drones, and it is very difficult to follow. All the characters are very one-note, the premise is dropped almost immediately, the plot progression just kinda seems to happen with zero input from the characters, but it was animated good at least.
