Synopsis
The series follows a group of humans who attempt to maintain their sanity after becoming trapped inside a circus-themed virtual reality game.
Why It's A Beautiful Circus Enjoyed By Everyone of All Ages
- This show may look to be a series for kids at first, but digging deeper into the themes and the story, there is a lot more than one could expect from a kids show. The good thing however is that it avoids the problem Happy Tree Friends had by toning down a lot of the adult references.
- Additionally, even though the show is geared towards adults, it's actually pretty tame as it's not too dark and appropriate for all audiences, even though some scenes can be scary for kids and that Pomni, Zooble, and Caine swear (albeit censored).
- The idea of making Isekai with Dark Comedy mixed with Circus elements is very creative and its execution shows how much talent the crew made most of its concept.
- Beautiful CGI animation that feels almost on par with a theatrical CGI movie. There are also intentional animation errors here and there, and they are humorous gags that fit in with the concept.
- The voice actors are great in all dubs.
- The characters are likable like Caine, Jax, and Pomni.
- Not to mention, the character designs are really good and distinctive.
- This series has now over 300 million and become the most-watched non-music video and the most-watched in animation history.
- And heck! It even got nominated for this show in the Annie Awards.
- There are a ton of hilarious jokes here and there.
- The pilot is considered a great start for this series.
- There's a ton of Easter Eggs references.
- The music however is catchy.
"You Parasite!" Qualities
- While the animation is great, some of the intentional animation errors can look awkward to some.
- While the jokes are good, they can be repetitive, and sometimes, they can abuse you with Breaking the 4th wall.
- Not all dubs are good:
- The Turkish dub is so low quality and yes, the Caine voices are awful.
- The Brazillian Portuguese dub has some error, thankfully, this dub has been replaced with a fixed dub.
- The Filipino dub also suffered from an error, and it only a few days to fix it.
- While the designs are good, some designs look a bit subpar, with Caine and the NPCs being the worst offenders.
- Sadly, It spawned an extremely large amount of content farms that cash in on the show & became the most common target for content farms. To make it worse, Gooseworx and Glitch cannot do anything about them.
