Strange, nothing came up under Pomni and the amazing digital circus when searching gaf, but the past few days there's been a lot of content being shared online, mainly Pomni, and I knew of its existence prior to that, but never really looked into it till yesterday, I guess there was a finale. I watched the pilot and thought it was very promising. Any other gafs who watch this? One video had like 40 million views in the last 1 or 2 days, which is crazy. The merchandise for this show is extremely popular as well, almost on par with Pop Mart with $600 plushies selling on ebay if they were nothing. I know im late to the party, but seems to be hitting critical levels. What I really love about this show is its silicon dreams inspired art style, which brings me to the 2nd video I post here.

I watched this with my daughter and we went to see the finale at the movies. I enjoyed it. It was something different and it did keep me guessing as to how it would end.

To me, it seemed like

Spoiler

it touched on mental illness and the whole purpose of the circus might have been for ways to help people work through issues. I never suspected that they were AI generated versions of themselves. I thought the only way to get out was to work through whatever problems were bothering you.

Kinger mentioned the person who created this world thought in the abstract and each of the Neuroscans were people who had issues.

This show is woke slop, that's why there's no GAF thread.

If that's true I would not know as I only watched the pilot so far, but having looked more into this after your post it seems there's a lot of weird things going on, not that its woke, quite the contrary. The fanbase is supposedly toxic and the creator has had enough of it? If its woke its probably on the lower end of it, cant be any worse than gonzo wearing a dress lol.

The rabbit turns out to be trans and ends up killing themselves, though it at least had the balls to portray the trans character as a complete dick with no redeeming features.

Edit: the entire show is a stealth story about trans mental health.
