From making a comedy series about naked Mario eating spaghetti to a show about post-apocalyptic world where killer robots took over human society, it's crazy to think how SMG4 has grown over the years.
With regard to the mention of it being easier to render hard artificial textures than it is to render skin, that's precisely why Pixar's first big film was Toy Story, they made a short called "tin toy" that had a very uncanny baby, but the toys all looked solid, so they leaned into it and made a feature length film with the fewest humans they could get away with.
Yerp, most of the time humans would be covered up or seen at a distance. Andy from the first movie is completely unrecognizable compared to the latest one.
Also fun fact: There is a actual canon reason for why they have hair and stuff! Liam has confirmed all of their clothing was taken off of humans after they died and fitted to the drones (doesn't explain the dissasembly drones though) and the hair is implied to be wigs
@@SamiTheAnxiousBean Episode 2, N´s flashback, listen to the human man, he is talking about Tessa playing with the robots, it ends with J saying "another one?" implying they are all "adopted" by her.
Can I just say that Murder Drones would make a SICK video game, even just fighting a few drones in a Doom mod? With how unique each character is, and how stacked the Murder Drones themselves are, I'd pay every dime I could muster to get that shit.
Picture a hack n slash like dmc. N and V have alot of combo and weapon swap potential. Uzi got gun mod and anime style martial arts, until she goes zombie drone trigger. Plus it can be gore -ee as fuk.
The hair thing is explained through the Twitter account. Apparently, it's scavenged from the human corpses lying around. As for the kids thing, we've seen them carry bundles of "untrained neural networks", which implies they're taking a blank AI, let it develop based on the interactions the parents have with it, and then transfer said AI into progressively larger drone bodies.
@@huntercraft5674 so far, the only way new murder robots appeared is that they were sent to the planet via spaceship, by humans; they probably don't create new ones on the planet itself, 'cos N was surprised to see a 'short' murder robot there's also that whole "absolute solver" entity that seems to manage their regeneration and can use things from the environment, including human remains... but -it's unclear whether it can (or is willing to) restore robots from very critical state, or whether it just keeps going (and murdering) by itself, without trying to restore original robot's body, neural network (with personality) and memory.- Edit: re-watched that part, it is trying to restore the robot as per its 'directive', and it seems like it just didn't have enough time to complete that, but it's still possible that its reconstruction may be not perfect when it was destroyed so much
I can really see the influence from Liam's other shows he made, "cliffside" and "Internecion cube" (the second one especially). Uzi gives off vibes similar to Ic-0n at times and so do some of the murder drones. Really gald to see him finally get a series picked up and can't wait to see where it goes :D
Honestly I wish they gave any of those early projects the murder drones treatment. Idk why but the writing and plot for those feels way more fluid and bulletproof than murder drones. It's weird to me how his solo projects seem better.
Damn, who would thought that SMG4 would go from a small Mario 64 blooper about the cake to a dark but still awesome webseries about murder drones! I highly recomend to check it out, along with other productions they have done in the past.
Murder drones is actually much more closely based off of one of Liam Vickers's more recent works, Internecion Cube. I highly recommend checking it out, it is very good
Any animated series made by Luke (aka Smg4), Kevin And the crew and Liam thank u all so much for reminding me is always wonderful (Edit:Thank y'all for the likes I've never had 1.2k before)
My youtube algorithm blessed me by recommending me the first episode of Murder Drones, the team at Glitch are one of the most talented in the indie animation scene and completely destroy most of the shows in streaming services nowadays, Sunset Paradise is probably one of my favorite animation shows and Murder Drones just keeps getting better.
To answer the question "Why do the robots have hair?". At the start of the episode number 2 one of the shadowy humans says, 'Where is she getting the hair to play dress up with them?'. This shows that someone is using the robots like life size playthings.
And a ama with liam revealed that the worker drones on copper 9 (yes that's the name of the planet) got their hairs from human skeletons Not sure why their skin dissapeared but not their hairs but... just don't think about it
If I'm not mistaken, the drones got all of their clothes and stuff from the corpses of the humans lying around, they just picked them up started to use them lol
I know not a lot of people know Luke or Kevin Lerdwichagul but it is amazing since Luke (aka SMG4) is a RUclipsr started to just make a memes and joke video into a full series show. Even though i feel like he never attended, having his brother, Kevin get involve with it and help him make a production video is amazing. It really show how 1 person making stupid and funny stuff and make a series.
I mean the voice of his inner girlsona is the main character so I'm sure he's a BIT biased. But oh well that's how you help people. The review still seemed mostly fair.
My jaw is on the floor. Thank you so much Saberspark for introducing me to a new animated series that is SO my thing. Also can I just say that I appreciate N being in what is almost a cocktail dress and totally rocking the shit out of it? ToT
It's supposed to be a Whermacht uniform because the humans have zero subtlety, but yeah since he doesn't have pants it doubles as a man-dress and he makes it work
@@athan13590 Nobody in Murder Drones is a hero except maybe Thad. JCJenson is a standard sci-fi evil megacorp, J and V are vampires, the Worker Defense Force are morons, Uzi is a psychotic immature brat (though Khan implies she might grow out of the psychotic part), and N is a total doormat who will kill whatever his friends want him to

Okay so, here's to find out Uzi from murder drones, Charlie from Hazbin Hotel and Sabie from Saberspark have the same voice actor. This fact makes a lot of sense...
I’m literally speechless, I’m just so glad you’ve seen this series. I’ve only just started watching it and I’m already obsessed, I’m also a fan of SMG4 who is the owner of Glitch. Again, i don’t know what to say!
@@Plexxis_SugarPom Liam Vicker's previous works, definitely should check it out, it's only a ~20 minutes long pilot. And if you enjoy it, then you should check the whole catalogue of Liam's works on his channel, all good stuff ngl.
Okay, after watching this review. I’m DEFINITELY going to check this series out. I’m just really active in supporting independent animators and artists these days since big cooperation companies keep cutting or cancelling original content
As someone that use to watch SMG4 when I was a teenager before Glitch Productions was founded...I must say it is impressively well executed. Your thoughts on it mirror mine exactly.
I love how they lean into the part where they’re mentally robots. All of their actions are AI scripted. Uzi is constantly saying “bite me” and her dad said he also went through a “kill all humans faze”. I doubt he did that, because that’s what all dads say in tv shows, and when the teacher brings up the potential of damage” he starts fumbling, like all parents in every tv show ever
@@aj_art7201 they didn't say anything about an AI writer, just that the actions by the characters are the sort of things that their own AI (being robots) would push them to do.
@@mothichorror446 an AI meant for doing manual labor wouldn't act our TV tropes, as there would be no reason for it to have the knowledge of said TV tropes. If they know about the troped now, they would have only learned about them due to movies they found or having seen the movies humans watched while humans still occupied the planet
@@mothichorror446 they act that way because the writers wanted to joke about those tropes. However in world they wouldn't be programmed to act that way. If they know they're acting out those tropes inworl hen here doing it on purpose because they saw them on TV, not because humans programmed them to.
Man, seeing one of Liam's works reach this level of popularity after Cliffside warms my heart. I'm looking forward to seeing how and where this series fits in the bigger picture (if you know, you know :] ).
4:04 They have hair because they "borrow it" from the dead human corpse. They have kids because the 2 parents combined their code together to create a new one to make a child.
Can we also state that luke and kevin STILL produce weekly stuff for smg4 while working on stuff for gltich. And some of the arcs in smg4 feel like pre-gltich mini shows
indie animation series' are coming out loud. im glad that some creators are seeing the other opportunities on YT to grab networks or streaming services.
I have been following Liam for an extremely long ass time since his creepypasta/story's/music and I'm glad that he has started a new series and can't wait for more episodes of this series! It does help that I enjoy SMG4/Glitch's stuff so put 2 and 2 together well it's a perfect match!
It was a fun and action pack of the indie animation, I could think independent animation could be the biggest thing for the animation industry from Hazbin Hotel, Helluva Boss and much more!
I am _VERY_ interested to see where the story and characters of Murder Drones will go moving forward. Of course, with only two episodes out at the time of commenting, it's hard to say. But seeds have been planted. As of right now however, I'm mainly just so happy that Liam Vickers finally has an official running series to call his own. Ever since I saw Cliffside way back when, I've wanted to see more of his stuff and HOO BOY am I getting it!
Glitch Productions are one of my favourite production groups style wise. Even though season one is a bit rough, Metarunner has a great cyberpunk feel, Sunset Paradise looks like a videogame (which it's supposed to), and Murder Drones is absolutely amazing. Pretty nice for two guys who make Gmod machinima
It’s supposed to fill the Void of Teens/Young adult content so I can see why they went for that feel tbh. For that reason alone I LOVE Glitch Production’s Content.
murder drones is amazing, i can tell that these people in glitch put their heart and soul into this amazing indie animation. i love the horror, mystery, the world-building, comedy, and characters. for me, i'd never care for post-apocalyptic/dystopia era but this one i actually enjoy. in my opinion there are characters who are self-aware and their comedy is kinda obviously funny but there is nothing I can't complain about.
While the fandom behind liam vickers still misses his old stuff, most of us see him explore new stories and put his mastery of writing horror to good use also I recommend you check them out, even if im only a fan of Cliffside and Murderdrones so far
How different is his old stuff compared to the new one? For all I have seen, all his works are cartoons with a focus on horror, mystery and some light comedy.
@@manzanito3652 Look up "SpookyStoryTimeWithLiam", you'll find a lot of creepypasta-esque stories that are pretty much prototypes for his newer projects
@@manzanito3652 also sstwl has tons of his music which I love to listen too. He has songs based on stories or characters and the descriptions usually give out a basic plot. Dude is an insane creator of stories and lore
I know its not animation, but Liam Vickers' "Black Dogs" series is literally one of my favorite pieces of fiction to date. Its a brilliant horror story that I urge everyone to check out!
@@tacothursday7364 It's an audio-based horror story, a couple hours long I'm pretty sure. Black Dogs is a part of his early works, and its located on the Scary Story Time With Liam channel, aka SSTWL. He has a ton of other stories on there, I'd seriously recommend checking out all of his old projects on the channel
@@gabrielhines8745 The sheer amount of passion & talent this one person has is incredible and can be seen from space. When I got a week to spare, you bet your buttons I'm gonna go straight into a Liam spree. Thanks for the name!
I love murder drones too, I definitely believe moving forward we're going to get darker plot points that progress things quite smoothly. I do agree that the Pilot felt self aware a bit, but I don't mind it that much personally
(Episode 7 Spoiler) Returning to this video after watching episode 7 to say that *SABER WAS RIGHT ABOUT BOTH HIS PREDICTIONS FOR NORI!* He predicted that she was secretly alive and that she was involved in the planet's explosion. Both of these predictions were confirmed to the extreme
Dayum! From the moment I saw the design of the murder girl’s design I was surprised how much it reminded me of the spider waifu from that animated pilot. Cool to learn they’re the character designer. Totally checking it out!
I’ve been following Liam’s work for a while now man’s definitely got a style Thanks to the gltich crew his vision can be unleashed (man also used to make music it’s pretty good) Hie is the best animation person on RUclips and to anyone who say otherwise BITE ME
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the robots in Murder Drones are strangely attractive. Suffice to say, the aesthetics work, they work REALLY well.
I like Murder Drones because of the story and animation. I love the character designs especially the designs of V, J, and N. N is my favorite character he's too good for this apocalyptic world yet he just full of positivity plus he's so cute and he's growing friendship with Uzi is adorable. In the second episode the ending is what caught me off guard After they defeated the absolute solver Uzi got scared of N when he was only trying to see if she's okay. Maybe she got mild PTSD afterward or something about the absolute solver means that this thing has something to do with her mom who died from off screen disease. She then reunites with her cowardly dad, N is contemplating on Uzi, V saw that her chain broke but she didn't escape and stayed, and Uzi she is in her room looking up at the ceiling that's full of papers notes. Is she going to be okay? I want more episodes of Murder Drones.
Uzi had just seen what she thought was her father's death, of course she was traumatized. V is either hiding the fact that her chain is broken so she can surprise attack them, or she switched sides because she feels bad for N but doesn't want to admit it.
@@vibaj16 another thing to consider: right after seeing that death, 'N' asked her if she was ok, she said "No!", and gave 'him' her weapon... and it turned out that it was Absolute Solver in disguise so i don't see it that surprising that she would be scared of N at that moment, both due to not trusting whether he was actually N (at least subconsciously), and due to some understanding/suspicion that Absolute Solver (or different instances of it) is part of all murder drones in some way (based on "what, are you things?" question)
Can we just take a second to realize how SMG4 went from sm64 gameplay with subtitles to a 3 season series based on a character and a THIS?! Just... wow.
2:33 "VIBE = HARSHED" I can't believe I only just noticed that in this video. Small shit like this is *_LITTERED_* throughout this show and its amazing. And there's more harder things to notice than this I don't know how the hell I missed it until now.
Legit...I am still blown away from seeing Luke and Kevin going this far. I watched smg4 ever since 2012. They came a LONG way. From just making the main series look good, but also making really good shows on glitch! Seriously, because of them, I want to be an animator. Can't thank them enough.
Thanks for getting me in that community. That shit is insane, how did the team just make a 3d models animation with particles and expression in just 2 months
Heck yeah!!! I absolutely love this series (does the pfp give it away?). And you can always expect the classic “V is hot” joke with any murder drones review
Liam Vickers is one of the single best animators on all of RUclips. Murder Drones is probably my second favorite pilot after Cliffside. But his original concept for MD, Internecion Cube, needs to get picked up too.
Internecion Cube wasn't really the 'original' concept for MD, it was more of a reiteration of Liam's (much older) series called "Design". Internecion Cube was more so a side thing he did for practice, since he isn't an animator, but rather a storyboard artist.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio I don't exactly understand what you want to say by 'basic concept', but I guess there's some similarities, although story varies significantly and plot is also completely different, for now I guess.
Actually they explain the hair in a later episode. They are installed wigs. It was something some Drone owners would use to customise them cosmetically & the trend was carried on by the Drones post humans.
Now murder drones is a fantastic show and all, and it's a pleasure to see you share the same love for this show (Especially for J and V if you know what I mean). Still, I want to point out the voice acting which is some of the best stuff I've ever heard recently, and I would like to point out the voice actor for N who isn't a newcomer to your channel. He is the one and only voiced a spider guy that confused many boys and is named after a specific substance people use, the fantastic actor Michale Kovach.
I was pleasantly surprised to have Saberspark talk about a Glitch- show. Shows how far Luke and Kevin have come in their animation career. Running a parody series of Mario online is one thing, but creating new worlds that gain the attention of other content creators is a different matter.
PLEASE review Meta Runner, it was made by the same people and is one of my favorites series of all time, and it's about video games, what's not to love about it?
even my 40 year old mother loved Murder Drones!! So far, everyone I've showed this to has loved it. when episode 5 watched, I'm gonna rewatch every episode with my Mother AND my Father this time. I'm so excited!

Don't forget than N and Angel Dust also have the same voice actor.

I’m literally speechless, I’m just so glad you’ve seen this series. I’ve only just started watching it and I’m already obsessed, I’m also a fan of SMG4 who is the owner of Glitch. Again, i don’t know what to say!
Murder Drones is really good imo, I love how charming each character is and how the characters quip off each other!
WI have been waiting so long for this :

Have you seen Cliffside?
@@gengarghast I'm afraid not! Can I ask what it is?
@@Plexxis_SugarPom Liam Vicker's previous works, definitely should check it out, it's only a ~20 minutes long pilot.
And if you enjoy it, then you should check the whole catalogue of Liam's works on his channel, all good stuff ngl.
I love N. I even got a plushie of him after the pilot
You coming with all this positive praise after waiting so long; I'd be dead by the time you got to watch even one of them.
I've been seeing so many animation memes and clips on murder drones, but ones I watched episode 1 I extremely loved it.
Okay, after watching this review. I’m DEFINITELY going to check this series out. I’m just really active in supporting independent animators and artists these days since big cooperation companies keep cutting or cancelling original content
I also recommend you checking out Liam's other projects, namely Cliffside and Internecion Cube ;)
Check out SMG4 too, it'll be hilarious for you to see the change in type of content
Been following Liam Vickers since he made Cliffside, so I’m ecstatic that he’s finally got this own show
As someone that use to watch SMG4 when I was a teenager before Glitch Productions was founded...I must say it is impressively well executed. Your thoughts on it mirror mine exactly.
I love how they lean into the part where they’re mentally robots. All of their actions are AI scripted. Uzi is constantly saying “bite me” and her dad said he also went through a “kill all humans faze”. I doubt he did that, because that’s what all dads say in tv shows, and when the teacher brings up the potential of damage” he starts fumbling, like all parents in every tv show ever
pretty sure the writers are just leaning into the tropes heavily. not having an AI write dialogue for them.
@@aj_art7201 they didn't say anything about an AI writer, just that the actions by the characters are the sort of things that their own AI (being robots) would push them to do.
@@mothichorror446 an AI meant for doing manual labor wouldn't act our TV tropes, as there would be no reason for it to have the knowledge of said TV tropes. If they know about the troped now, they would have only learned about them due to movies they found or having seen the movies humans watched while humans still occupied the planet
@@aj_art7201 dude, you're complaining about an AI not having that kind knowledge when literally all of the characters in this act the way they do.
@@mothichorror446 they act that way because the writers wanted to joke about those tropes. However in world they wouldn't be programmed to act that way. If they know they're acting out those tropes inworl hen here doing it on purpose because they saw them on TV, not because humans programmed them to.
This literally got me into Murder Drones.

@@Glitch1086 oh. :)
Just with the firsts minutes i was already in love with this serie. The characters are so cool and the animation is really well made
I still can’t stop rewatching the videos, I absolutely love the videos. Even if there’s only 2 episodes, I will still continue rewatching them
I have no idea how many times I’ve seen the first episode alone, but it’s probably unironically over 20 times
@Seeing Star you have been waiting so long for this :
ruclips.net/video/mCfYi7634rU/видео.html
So many bots!!!
Man, seeing one of Liam's works reach this level of popularity after Cliffside warms my heart. I'm looking forward to seeing how and where this series fits in the bigger picture (if you know, you know :] ).
THIS SERIES IS THE BEST I'VE WATCHED SO FAR!!! It's got amazing animation, a great storyline and character style! I need to see moreee
I have arrived from the future, TODAY!!!
Gonna binge 6 episodes no wait needed xo
I love their channel so much!!! they’ve made so many great projects and they need more attention!!! So thank you make this video 😭👏❤
Report thr channels of @Jack Wrath he ascammer that self promote himself
4:04 They have hair because they "borrow it" from the dead human corpse. They have kids because the 2 parents combined their code together to create a new one to make a child.
True but Im still so confused
Hi it's November 2023 now saberspark is the host of glitch x
This title feels like something you’d be forced to say in a post-apocalypse
“Murder drones are great! plz don’t kill me”
Can we also state that luke and kevin STILL produce weekly stuff for smg4 while working on stuff for gltich. And some of the arcs in smg4 feel like pre-gltich mini shows
1:28 you should’ve mentioned internecion cube, (you can see so many similarities from murder drones inside of it, it’s a series from liam vickers).
Check out Meta Runner next! It's by the same studio and it's an original series developed entirely by them. Lots of lore and it's sooooo well done!
it's so bad 💀
I have been waiting so long for this :
ruclips.net/video/mCfYi7634rU/видео.html
Wow the bots are so bad on RUclips 😭
Agreed
Their first series is such a fun one!
Both of their other series deserve a chance
Don’t worry! He did say on the stream he was planning to watch meta runner sometime soon!
Glitch is just a fantastic channel, my personal favourite for me being Meta Runner.
@don't be surprised shut up faker
Report @don't be surprised's suprised channel please
indie animation series' are coming out loud. im glad that some creators are seeing the other opportunities on YT to grab networks or streaming services.
I have been following Liam for an extremely long ass time since his creepypasta/story's/music and I'm glad that he has started a new series and can't wait for more episodes of this series!
It does help that I enjoy SMG4/Glitch's stuff so put 2 and 2 together well it's a perfect match!
man, i to this day want to see more of internection cube xD
hope it also finds its own spot too
We finally did it, Saberspark finally checked out Murder Drones. Now to get him to watch Internecion Cube, one of Liam's best examples of his art
I loved this show along with Meta Runner and Sunset Paradise and I'm waiting for episode 3 to find out more of the lore of Murder Drones
It was a fun and action pack of the indie animation, I could think independent animation could be the biggest thing for the animation industry from Hazbin Hotel, Helluva Boss and much more!
@EmotionalDamage.. First of all, why did you send me this? Second of all... BITE ME!
@Emotional Damage yea well we don’t actually care
@@MuffinManWasTaken just report tge bot's channel
I am _VERY_ interested to see where the story and characters of Murder Drones will go moving forward. Of course, with only two episodes out at the time of commenting, it's hard to say. But seeds have been planted. As of right now however, I'm mainly just so happy that Liam Vickers finally has an official running series to call his own. Ever since I saw Cliffside way back when, I've wanted to see more of his stuff and HOO BOY am I getting it!
Finally! This is definitely one of my favourite RUclips series!
Glitch Productions are one of my favourite production groups style wise. Even though season one is a bit rough, Metarunner has a great cyberpunk feel, Sunset Paradise looks like a videogame (which it's supposed to), and Murder Drones is absolutely amazing. Pretty nice for two guys who make Gmod machinima
It’s supposed to fill the Void of Teens/Young adult content so I can see why they went for that feel tbh. For that reason alone I LOVE Glitch Production’s Content.
I like how the main character “Uzi” is named after an infamous sub machine gun.
Wich is named after the person who made the smg.
Uzi 9mm
Where i live i can only legally get the nerfed semi auto :(
And the acronym for Sub Machine Gun is SMG
SMG4 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
@@ask343 smg stands for SuperMarioGlitchy
murder drones is amazing, i can tell that these people in glitch put their heart and soul into this amazing indie animation. i love the horror, mystery, the world-building, comedy, and characters. for me, i'd never care for post-apocalyptic/dystopia era but this one i actually enjoy. in my opinion there are characters who are self-aware and their comedy is kinda obviously funny but there is nothing I can't complain about.
Was not expecting someone as large as Saberspark to make a video on Murder Drones, glad to see this show getting more coverage.
While the fandom behind liam vickers still misses his old stuff, most of us see him explore new stories and put his mastery of writing horror to good use
also
I recommend you check them out, even if im only a fan of Cliffside and Murderdrones so far
How different is his old stuff compared to the new one?
For all I have seen, all his works are cartoons with a focus on horror, mystery and some light comedy.
@@manzanito3652 His old stuff is actually primarily audiodramas, cliffside was his first full animation
@@firebladeentertainment5739 Didn't know he made audiodramas. Thanks.
@@manzanito3652 Look up "SpookyStoryTimeWithLiam", you'll find a lot of creepypasta-esque stories that are pretty much prototypes for his newer projects
@@manzanito3652 also sstwl has tons of his music which I love to listen too. He has songs based on stories or characters and the descriptions usually give out a basic plot. Dude is an insane creator of stories and lore
7:52 He has officially joined the scaroused club
I know its not animation, but Liam Vickers' "Black Dogs" series is literally one of my favorite pieces of fiction to date. Its a brilliant horror story that I urge everyone to check out!
Ooo, that sounds captivating! Is it a comic?
@@tacothursday7364 It's an audio-based horror story, a couple hours long I'm pretty sure. Black Dogs is a part of his early works, and its located on the Scary Story Time With Liam channel, aka SSTWL. He has a ton of other stories on there, I'd seriously recommend checking out all of his old projects on the channel
@@gabrielhines8745
The sheer amount of passion & talent this one person has is incredible and can be seen from space.
When I got a week to spare, you bet your buttons I'm gonna go straight into a Liam spree. Thanks for the name!
I always wanted Saberspark to cover a glitch production and it actually happened!
I have to thank you
I have just now watched both the pilot episode and the second episode, I am now a fan (:
I love murder drones too, I definitely believe moving forward we're going to get darker plot points that progress things quite smoothly. I do agree that the Pilot felt self aware a bit, but I don't mind it that much personally
YO DO META RUNNER NEXT NICEEEE
YES PLEASE
wholeheartedly agreed
I'll be honest meta runner season 3 suck
@@WhyRook I personally wouldn't say sucked but was definitely the weakest of all the seasons
@@pringle378 yeah
(Episode 7 Spoiler)
Returning to this video after watching episode 7 to say that *SABER WAS RIGHT ABOUT BOTH HIS PREDICTIONS FOR NORI!*
He predicted that she was secretly alive and that she was involved in the planet's explosion. Both of these predictions were confirmed to the extreme
Dayum! From the moment I saw the design of the murder girl’s design I was surprised how much it reminded me of the spider waifu from that animated pilot.
Cool to learn they’re the character designer.
Totally checking it out!
Im shocked this manage to overshadow both Sunset paradise and Meta runner! Im amazed
So was I. (I'm giving the series a chance.)
3:56 HOW DID YOU GUESS IT? As of Episode 7, yes, NORI IS ALIVE!
I’ve been following Liam’s work for a while now man’s definitely got a style
Thanks to the gltich crew his vision can be unleashed (man also used to make music it’s pretty good)
Hie is the best animation person on RUclips and to anyone who say otherwise BITE ME
Not comments💀
Absolutely true, love that guy
He's got a style, and he's most certainly got a type
And his style is "Cool and cute looking anime girls that will probably kill you". To be fair I am all for it, go team!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the robots in Murder Drones are strangely attractive.
Suffice to say, the aesthetics work, they work REALLY well.
"Is it against company policy to make these robots bad asf?"
Mechanicus moment
i love machines.
r/murderdronesr34 begs to differ
my youtube recommended me 2 times episode 3 of Murder Drones
thank you youtube, you made me know an incredibly beautiful series
Liam Vickers is always amazing
and I love that he finally gets his show
I like Murder Drones because of the story and animation. I love the character designs especially the designs of V, J, and N. N is my favorite character he's too good for this apocalyptic world yet he just full of positivity plus he's so cute and he's growing friendship with Uzi is adorable. In the second episode the ending is what caught me off guard After they defeated the absolute solver Uzi got scared of N when he was only trying to see if she's okay. Maybe she got mild PTSD afterward or something about the absolute solver means that this thing has something to do with her mom who died from off screen disease. She then reunites with her cowardly dad, N is contemplating on Uzi, V saw that her chain broke but she didn't escape and stayed, and Uzi she is in her room looking up at the ceiling that's full of papers notes. Is she going to be okay?
I want more episodes of Murder Drones.
Uzi had just seen what she thought was her father's death, of course she was traumatized. V is either hiding the fact that her chain is broken so she can surprise attack them, or she switched sides because she feels bad for N but doesn't want to admit it.
@@vibaj16 another thing to consider: right after seeing that death, 'N' asked her if she was ok, she said "No!", and gave 'him' her weapon... and it turned out that it was Absolute Solver in disguise
so i don't see it that surprising that she would be scared of N at that moment, both due to not trusting whether he was actually N (at least subconsciously), and due to some understanding/suspicion that Absolute Solver (or different instances of it) is part of all murder drones in some way (based on "what, are you things?" question)
Can we just take a second to realize how SMG4 went from sm64 gameplay with subtitles to a 3 season series based on a character and a THIS?! Just... wow.
2:33 "VIBE = HARSHED" I can't believe I only just noticed that in this video. Small shit like this is *_LITTERED_* throughout this show and its amazing. And there's more harder things to notice than this I don't know how the hell I missed it until now.
Legit...I am still blown away from seeing Luke and Kevin going this far. I watched smg4 ever since 2012. They came a LONG way. From just making the main series look good, but also making really good shows on glitch! Seriously, because of them, I want to be an animator. Can't thank them enough.
Thanks for getting me in that community. That shit is insane, how did the team just make a 3d models animation with particles and expression in just 2 months
I've been following Murder Drones since Liam made a video about Glitch animations and him collaborating on it.
I will only be able to die happy once Saberspark does an in-depth review of Meta Runner. Then I can be truly at peace.
"Bite me! ... I'm not mad at you, by the way, I'm just generally hormonal! 😅👍👍"
I LOVE that line. 😂
Yesss I’m glad you cover Murder Drones! The show really deserves more attention and I’m glad that it’s getting in it!!!
Heck yeah!!! I absolutely love this series (does the pfp give it away?). And you can always expect the classic “V is hot” joke with any murder drones review
Liam Vickers is one of the single best animators on all of RUclips. Murder Drones is probably my second favorite pilot after Cliffside. But his original concept for MD, Internecion Cube, needs to get picked up too.
Internecion Cube wasn't really the 'original' concept for MD, it was more of a reiteration of Liam's (much older) series called "Design". Internecion Cube was more so a side thing he did for practice, since he isn't an animator, but rather a storyboard artist.
@@Sorta8 Murder Drones has a very similar visual design and basic concept, making me think that MD was made from a reworking if the IC pitch.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio ehhh, art style is the same / very similar in all Liam Vicker's animations.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio I don't exactly understand what you want to say by 'basic concept', but I guess there's some similarities, although story varies significantly and plot is also completely different, for now I guess.
Finnaly after a year someone finnaly made a reaction video! I hope this small series become popular
Actually they explain the hair in a later episode. They are installed wigs. It was something some Drone owners would use to customise them cosmetically & the trend was carried on by the Drones post humans.
Now murder drones is a fantastic show and all, and it's a pleasure to see you share the same love for this show (Especially for J and V if you know what I mean). Still, I want to point out the voice acting which is some of the best stuff I've ever heard recently, and I would like to point out the voice actor for N who isn't a newcomer to your channel. He is the one and only voiced a spider guy that confused many boys and is named after a specific substance people use, the fantastic actor Michale Kovach.
Murder Drones is one of my favorite animated series! I'm so happy Saberspark did a review!
I dunno please report@Emotional Damage's channel
I was pleasantly surprised to have Saberspark talk about a Glitch- show.
Shows how far Luke and Kevin have come in their animation career.
Running a parody series of Mario online is one thing, but creating new worlds that gain the attention of other content creators is a different matter.
Couldn't have put it better myself.
Also N is precious
PLEASE review Meta Runner, it was made by the same people and is one of my favorites series of all time, and it's about video games, what's not to love about it?
FI have been waiting so long for this :

when episode 5 watched, I'm gonna rewatch every episode with my Mother AND my Father this time. I'm so excited!
Yes!!!! Y’all have no idea how long I’ve waited for Saber to do a video on a GLITCH series!!!! I’m so excited!!!!!
…now do Meta Runner 🔫
It's a pretty cool series. Can't wait for the next episode.
