I agree Zooble was a bit out-of-focus in the pilot and would want her to be in it more, but I don't think it's fair to judge just from the trailer (and if she isn't much in this one, then episode 2, 3 or 4 will probably have a focus on her, she will certainly get one fairly early ion the first season at least).

I was a bit worried that Jax would just be an arsehole in the series, with no depth (which would still be fun, but I'd prefer if he was more rounded), but the trailer does suggest he'll be given some depth, like the scene with him sitting down, clearly looking sad (suggesting he is a sad clown).
I like the design of the villains (?), those crocodile-style sweet/candy monsters.

Honestly I feel that Gangle was the one with the least amount of focus in the pilot. With the others, I got some things out of them, with Gangle all I got out of her was 'I'm depressed because my comedy mask broke'. I'm hoping we can see Gangle with the comedy mask unbroken for the first few minutes so we can see how her comedy mask persona and how it contrasts with her personality when it's broken.

I made a possible future layout for Characters.The Amazing Digital Circus in my sandbox. Does it look good?
Good morning, and good night, I hardly ever sleep. With what I have, what else do you think I'd ever need?
Looks good enough for the most part, though for the NPCs I'd divide them into a "General" section for Caine, Bubble and the Mannequins, followed by location-specific sections such as "Circus Tent" (including the Moon, the Sun and the Gloinks & their Queen), "Candy Canyon Kingdom" (Princess Loolilalu, Gummy Gator Gang and Fudge Monster), and "Haunted Mansion" (Martha Mildenhall).
My reason as to why I think such location-specific structure might be better that way is because a leaked screenshot features Loolilalu, Martha and Orbsman all together, and I believe it might happen during some episode beyond the fourth one.

Waiting to have my head melted and mounted on a wall.The second episode is uploaded to YouTube and is counting down to its premiere at 6:00 on Saturday.
Just saw the episode, and though it was great. Nice to see they are keeping the existential horror, and have actually added some new existential horror (I hope the NPC guy is ok). Great development for Pomni, the ending where she realises that these people aren't so bad after all and might actually try to help her was fantastic. I like how Ragatha is still as nice as possible and genuinely really cares about Pomni, but you can tell she's still sort of hung up about being left to die in the pilot. This episode was also genuinely really funny.
Also, I have a theory about Jax. Maybe the reason he's such a dick is because he doesn't want the Digital Circus to feel real. That's why he is annoyed at the idea of Kaufmo having a funeral, it demonstrates the danger there is of him losing his mind. Acting like a dick and like nothing matters is his way of avoiding confronting the truth of the situation he's in.

This is just a personal gripe, but it pains me that the new trailer only has one scene with Zooble in it. I'm one of the few who has Zooble as their favorite, and I wanted to see more of them after they were heavily Out of Focus in the pilot.
Orcus on His Throne will always be my pet peeve.
