The Gaslight District

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.

Glitch Productions (The amazing digital circus and Murder Drones) Made another Indie Series called the gaslight district. And let me tell you, the moment the pilot finished, I fell in loved with it, this was an Enjoyable pilot. From The Animation to the Writing to the characters, this was peak Cinema. And if I have to be honest, Ts looks like it was made in a big budget studio and I like that it has that Choppy Spider verse feel. Also Loved Ken the butcher and Mud, If your a fan of Indie animation or just YouTube shows in gems, your gonna love this pilot. Because they cooked 🔥 10/10: Absolute Cinema.

Edit: it got greenlit for a full season, let's go!!?

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 is a unique and visually striking animated series, full of constant action and tension. Each episode is dynamic and event-packed, keeping the viewer engaged, though sometimes there's little room to catch a breath between intense moments.

It's clear that the creators have a genuine love for animation and action storytelling - the series feels authentic and energetic. Compared to other animated series like Arcane or Castlevania, The Gaslight District stands out for its pace and intensity of action while maintaining a complex world and interesting characters.

Overall, it's a highly engaging series for fans of action and quality animation, even if it can feel a bit too fast-paced at times.

Original, energetic, and visually impressive, with a slight overload of action.

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.
