The Amazing Digital Circus

(Mostly copy and pasted from my review for the finale) The series really stuck the landing for me, so that does drive the score up in my opinion. I would have liked to see what the series would have looked like with more time and money, but I still think this was as close as possible to gooseworx’s vision. A couple of “filler” type episodes to better establish the bonds between the characters would have been nice, but I’m used to having to imagine that type of development happening offscreen. Really enjoyed the character work here for all the major characters. Definitely a story more focused on building complex characters than plot/worldbuilding/whatever which I think works well. Jax is the most developed character here, and is obviously inspired by a lot of gooseworx’s personal experience. It does seem that a large portion of the fans of the series are the type to be more interested in “lore” than having an actual story, probably due in part to the visuals, the nature of it being a youtube series, and the initial episodes maybe appearing to indicate a bigger focus on the “mystery” aspect of what’s going on in the world.
