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.

The animation is simply masterful. This stop-motion style fits the atmosphere of the series perfectly. The character designs are creative and fit into the world of the series. The story starts well, despite its speed, there was no unnecessary action in the episode. The concept is extremely interesting, there is nothing to complain about. So what's the problem? Ah, yes: the gore is too much. Of course, I understand that the studio had to somehow counter the prejudices caused by TADC, but the last 2 parts of MD were perfect for this purpose. It is true that the unrealistic form of violence fits the style of the series, but in my opinion, there should not have been so much blood splatter in every second or third scene. I fully accept that it is necessary to somehow communicate what age group the series is intended for, but there are better ways to do this than to shock the viewer with a few head-splitting blows. Overall, Gaslight District promises to be one of the best indie animated series of the year, but for the reasons mentioned above, I can't give it a maximum score.

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!

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.

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.
