The Amazing Digital Circus took the world by storm and it did it with only episode the pilot. The pilot was released on October 13, 2023 which was posted on Glitch Productions Youtube channel which was the studio behind the pilot and the Creator of the show was Gooseworx. Once the first episode was uploaded I don’t think the creators were prepare for what was coming. That was the huge success the first episode was able to achieve. The pilot went viral all over the place Youtube, X, Instagram and more. Everyone on the internet was watching it and talking about content creators were reacting to the pilot episode which brought more attention to it. Eventually the show reached 100 million views on youtube.
The views kept on coming and coming and eventually it went from 100 million views to 300 million views on youtube and because it reached that view milestone the pilot became one of the most viewed animation pilot on Youtube. With the huge success of the pilot it was announce that the show was going to get a season and the pilot eventually become the first episode of the season. Since then we have gotten merch, trailers, etc. As of now there are only 3 episode out the most recent episode was released last month on October 4, 2024. The creator of the show did talk about the future of the show and how that the story they are trying would be told in this one season. Meaning that The Amazing Digital Circus will come to end after this season is over.
To give a summary about with this series is about it takes place in a digital world were our main character was sucked in to this world through a vr headset. Now they don’t remember who they are and are given a new appearance and name which is Pomni. She’s not alone in this world as there are other characters who are also stuck in this digital world and there’s only one person who is in charge of this digital world and that is Cane. Now that our main character is stuck in this world they try their best to find an exit only to find out that there isn’t one and they may be trap there forever. One thing that everyone character has to worry about is being abstracted which is when the character looses their mind and gets transform into a glitchy creature. Now the only way to prevent themselves from becoming abstracted is going on these wacky adventures that can makes for them to ensure they stay sane.
Overall with the massive success that The Amazing Digital Circus was able to get just from the pilot itself is shocking, but nonetheless amazing for the team at Glitch Productions and the Creator. The show become so popular that Netflix and Glitch Studios have a licensing deal which means Netflix is allowing that show to be streamed on their platform, but future episodes will still be premiering on youtube for anyone to watch. Just having their show on Netflix is just going to bring more eyes to this amazing show. I had a good time watching this show and I love the characters and story that is being told to us and I can’t wait for the next episode to be release.
