About

The Amazing Digital Circus is a 3D animated dark comedy series created by Gooseworx with production credits to Kevin and Luke Lerdwichagul. The premise follows Pomni, a girl trapped along with other characters in a cyberspace circus managed by a mysterious and powerful ring leader named Caine who crafted the world they are all stuck in. With little known about their own past outside the virtual realm and no way to escape the chaotic reality they find themselves in, all that the crew can do is try to avoid going insane. The series quickly developed a passionate fandom online.

Online Presence

> Great voice acting
> Doesn't just take "what if childhood thing but scary" as a cheap gimmick and actually explores the consequences of the situation in question
> Animated by Gooseworx
> Unique artstyle
> Show takes the medium as far as it can and uses it for worldbuilding and tension

I'll just stick to the show and stay away from the places where… The weird part of fandoms typically develop. As much as I love this show, it's got pretty much every box ticked for that to grow pretty damn quickly.
