The Gaslight District

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.

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 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'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.
