Reception
The pilot for The Amazing Digital Circus received great acclaim. The Beat writer Justin Guerrero wrote that the pilot had made a massive fandom overnight while also hooking the minds of its viewers and ringing in their hearts. TheGamer writer Jade King wrote that the visuals are colorful and full of humor but, the pilot is quick to bring down that with dark humor and mystery created to keep us asking questions. He also wrote that it's likely not going to get too dark however, the show could still bring more horror.
