“The Amazing Digital Circus”, an indie animation show on youtube.
I have a 13 year old daughter, which is how I know. Trying to appreciate what shes into has us watching it as a family.
But, ngl, its pretty dogshit. It is this generations version of “lol so random, cheeze” entertainment with a healthy dose of “im14andthisisdeep” edgyness. The kind of writing that only a 13 year old, or someone with the mental maturity of a 13 year old could appreciate.
Animation is pretty solid though, especially for a small indie team, so, I’ll give it praises for that.
And the fandom is fucking insufferable. Exactly the kind of fandom you’d expect full of 13 year old quirky edgelords.
I happened upon the show randomly and find it pretty charming, but even while watching for the first time I thought, “ooh, I bet this one’s online fandom is a disaster area.”
Damn, I have the exact opposite opinion on the show.
I think it’s clever and has some fun moments of subversion in the writing and the plots may be meandering but they all make sense inside the reality of the world the characters are in.
Then again I never interact with the fandom and I just watch it because I like the show and find it fun. Mid 30s dude here so take it for what it’s worth. Of course, with all the drugs, I might just have the mental maturity of a 13 year old by now so maybe that’s why I like it.
Am I too old to know these characters or too young?
Edit: Too old it seems.
