The Gaslight District

The animation is the best part of the show. One of the best I have ever seen. It fits the creepy yet interesting world. I can't tell anyone how much I love the animation it looks cool and beautiful crafted a awesome looking show. The characters are also enjoyable and nice. They are charming and enjoyable thankfully they never get annoying and are interesting and sometimes funny. The plot leaves much and the story isn't perfect but it does work and there's nothing stupid about it. It's also the pilot which leaves a lot but still very enjoyable series. And the action is pretty good I recommend this show.

Glitch Productions has truly outdone themselves with the gaslight district. The animation is potentially the best looking out of any indie animated show out there, the writing is well done and the jokes are funny, the pacing, while is a bit fast, is fine on my part. Unlike the other glitch shows, which feel like an "episode one" to the series, this truly feels like a pilot. I was really skeptical when I first saw the teasers, but now that it's fully out, I feel as if this is the best glitch show yet. Allanah Fitzgerald is amazing as Mel, and everyone else is spectacular too. I cannot wait for a full series of this.

Just with the Pilot episode, the show is already surprisingly good for an indie production. The animation style feels very right for what the show is trying to be, and the character interactions feel natural, unlike a lot of the awkward pauses in dialog in the earlier episodes of MD. Watch it again, trust me, you'll see it. The atmosphere is immersive, which is something Glitch seems to do really well at. For being a Pilot, this didn't feel like just a massive exposition dump, which is greatly appreciated. While the Pilot is good, it certainly isn't perfect. The level of gore was... a lot. The pacing was a little rushed, but that can be chalked up to this being a Pilot episode. Overall, a solid start.

I've been following Glitch's works since I got into The Amazing Digital Circus and this pilot blew me out of the water. The animation resembles Tim Burton and Henry Selick films, with the halved frame rate further adding to that stop motion feel. The show is far from kid friendly, but never takes it too far. Many other shows fall into a pitfall of being too violent or using swear words too much to seem mature, and this pilot never crosses those lines. Mel has very quickly become one of my favorite characters in media, with her design, personality, and a stunning voice acting job from Allanah Fitzgerald.

I don't have very many criticisms so far. The pacing is pretty fast and can be overstimulating, and the use of gross out humor is likely to turn some people away. However, neither of these are big issues for me.

The Gaslight District's story is very interesting overall and I already love the characters just from the first episode. The animation style is beautiful and the humor and violence is perfect for my standards. I will say that I feel like it goes a bit fast pace and is confusing at times. I don't really understand some elements to the story but it's only the first episode so I bet the others will fix that. I'm also just a dumbass so it could be that as well, lol.

Overall a pretty good show and is worse watching. I've enjoyed all of Glitch's series and this one has the same standards. Good show.
