The Gaslight District

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.

This show is bad. I can't see the apeal in this series. Starting out with the good, the music, voices, and animation are nice. I think everyone in those departments are doing well. Everything else is trash. The story was bland and unfunny. I just didn't enjoy it, and I'm someone who unironically likes Teen Titans Go (yikes). I know it's probably just not my style. If it's yours then by all means watch the show. It also was too hard to follow. Now, it may just be my adhd but all I remember is that the main girl had to get a human egg from heaven. Anything else is so so SO forgetable. TLDR: Gaslight District sucks, it has a boring, forgettable plot. I'll stick with TADC thanks.

I am really enjoying this series so far f,ans of glitches other shows will surely enjoy this, one especially the fans of murder drones it has quite a few similarities to murder drones , both incorporate dark comedy and Hyper violent action, they both have a quirky characters that don't feel generic or badly fleshed out, the animation is absolutely fantastic I really like the World building and the designs as well gives it a darker more grimy Edge while still being quirky and fun The show is very much its own thing, like murder drones but not for everyone, as a final note when good shows like this the amazing digital circus and murder drones come out on the Indie scene you really start to see what shambles the big entertainment companies are in, I highly recommend this give it a watch!

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.

Beautiful animation style that captures the grim, gross and decadent atmosphere of the world perfectly. The world building is engaging, characters entertaining and it's generally simply great.

One thing to remember is that the pacing of the first episode is very fast, which might be an issue for some people, but for me it was perfect.

Another thing to note is that it's definitely not for kids (I would say it's like 14/15+), with a lot of gore (although it's not red blood, which definitely helps) and some swearing.

Overall a very interesting adaptation of the classic tropes like apocalypse, zombies and some Christian-inspired themes, but transformed into something incredibly unique and captivating.
