What Is The Amazing Digital Circus?

The Amazing Digital Circus is an Australian independent adult animated web series created, written, scored, and directed by Gooseworx (Cooper Smith Goodwin), produced by Glitch Productions. It launched in October 2023 and crossed 100 million views in its first month — making it one of the most successful indie animated series in YouTube history. Season 1 consists of 9 episodes, with The Last Act serving as the series finale.

Is TADC an Anime?

Strictly speaking, no — it's Western indie 3D animation, not Japanese animation. But TADC has become a crossover hit with anime fans worldwide thanks to its surreal, psychological-horror tone that rhymes with shows like Serial Experiments Lain or Paranoia Agent.

Region-Locked? Here's the Workaround

The June 4–7 theatrical run is U.S.-only. Netflix availability for TADC also varies by country. If your region doesn't carry it, our best VPN for anime guide explains how to safely change region for streaming. For the theatrical event, the YouTube release on June 19 will be the worldwide drop everyone outside the U.S. should mark on their calendar.

Bottom line: Get tickets via Fathom if you're in the U.S. and want the finale 15 days early. Otherwise, mark June 19, 2026 on your calendar — that's when Episode 9 lands on YouTube and Netflix worldwide.
