The Amazing Digital Circus - Western Isekai that probably will become Hazbin Hotel killer

I hope the point about more characters is either a joke or obvious in them being one-offs like the monster in the pilot. A big problem I found with Hazbin is that it constantly introduces more seemingly-important characters that end up being unnecessary.
 
A little late but here's a review by a soyteen on soyjak blog formatted a little better. Credit
I watched it when it first came out. TADC is the most insufferable "cartoon" that I have seen in a long time.
To start, just the coloring alone is clear that they are trying to attract the "skibidi toilet" audience, those gen alphas with an attention span that has been broken beyond repair due to constant exposure to the internet on their iPad. This is the same with all the ADHD "humor" where something needs to happen ALL THE TIME. You can tell that they're also trying to make it "memeable" by adding what has been described as "anime faces" everywhere, with the intent to create meme formats, gifs, pornography, etc.

Another thing is that they're really trying to capitalize on the trend of the "le social anxiety girl" with the main character, which is extremely played out and frankly unoriginal. The purple rabbit guy is also a really annoying archetype, trying to become the next "Tumblr sexyman" that foids fawn over. It's clear that he's the type of person that an autist thinks is cool. Really, every single character is a reddit archetype, making up the different ways that redditors see themselves. There is absolutely nothing interesting or unique about any of them. The characters were made to attract the obsessive fandom crowd, like some sort of Undertale or stan culture shit.

The millennial humor that I had to force myself to get through is just rough. The humor quite literally insists upon itself with it's forced jokes and repeated gags. It's not even funny at all. The only time I laughed was when the teeth guy popped the bubble for interrupting him, but even that was mid. There's no build up to the jokes, it's all just abrupt in your face type shit, and I think that's what it's trying to be. It's all stale and unoriginal. I can see the same jokes and style on r/dankmemes or xitter. Overall, it's really just an awful show which I'm surprised anyone over the age of 5 likes.

To give it some props, the animation is pretty good and they have some decent worldbuilding, but none of that can make up for terrible characters.

TL;DR shit sucks

This looks a lot like a human charater from Murder Drones

Huh. Didn't notice we had a thread for this until now.

Anyways, Animation & character designs are good, the premise is fine, but I found the writing to be pretty mediocre. I've watched stuff that was a worse waste of my time, but I won't bother continuing on with it if it gets picked up.
