The last thing they did to represent Meta runner was like "one" chibi model of Tari featured on the banner of the Glitch Inn. Which was 5 months ago but yeah that one didn't feature Sunset paradise.
I can’t agree on Sunset Paradise. It just wasn’t interesting. It felt too childish, and only finished it because I wanted to see the climax. Pretty sure Glitch isn’t making season 2 anytime soon either.
I do agree that meta runner definitely could've gone on longer at least for a season 4 mainly because they left some cliffhanger bits basically teasing a 4th season only to do nothing with them and in all fairness I think the ending they left it with was really underwhelming being more or less somber and in denial of the circumstances they ended in. With sunset paradise though it was basically inevitable for it to only have one season the whole show basically being a high effort ark for meggy finding something else to do with her life after becoming human it was definitely pretty well done meant to be very video gamey in design and concept but I do wish they maybe fleshed it out more maybe had some filler episodes where meggy actually gets to address her problems instead of shishkabobing them into the circumstances they happen to be in dealing with something else but in all fairness both of these shows were when glitch was just getting it's feet wet with high effort and high quality animation work so I suppose we shouldn't have expected so much but then again if they're going to tease a theoretical season 4 they should at least commit to it in the case of meta runner
Another thing about MD and TADC is that they were created by people outside of glitch, Liam Vickers and gooseworx. They have different styles from the others. what I specifically mean is that they weren't created by Kevin and Luke.
@@Serial_Designation_Cryono? They are very much not in Glitch team, they aren't employed by them. Liam, Gooseworks and others are showrunners - people hired from outside the company to share their artistic vision and to direct the team. Point is, once the show is over, *they don't work there.* Sure they might get another show, or full-time employment, but that's more of an option. Fun fact - the reason Glitch started hiring showrunners is actually their policy of helping small creators, much like GlitchX!

Ciao Mariuigi! Grazie per il tuo lavoro con i sottotitoli, mi hai permesso di guardare una serie fantastica come Meta Runner quando ancora non conoscevo bene l'inglese❤️
I am one of them. I was so hyped when I first saw the meta runner teaser that I marked the date the trailer was coming out on my calender as "smg4 tari thingy"
Its good to see others remembering the Glitch Productions Classics. Meta Runner is still my favorite and I'm sad it doesn't get the attention it deserves.
Honestly, as both once a watcher of SMG4, and a fan of cyberpunk, Mega runner really did not get the attention it deserved. The setting on its own is fantastic!
@@TheBlueGuy69so far it's right, as this is literally my first time encountering you on RUclips. sooooo it's in the algorithm in some way. (also I was an smg4 fan since 2017. meta runner doesn't have as much recognition as it deserves 😔)
It's cool that some people still remember Glitch Productions less popular shows like Meta Runner and Sunset Paradise cause I think those shows are great and are really underrated and I hope they grow more of a following 😎👍
I discovered Glitch cause of Meta Runners and Murder Drones and been around when EP 3 of MD was 3 weeks old but I was more interested in Meta Runners at that time, it was a memorable show❤
Bro, i'm also and SMG4 Fan. i heard of Glitch from SMG4. from Meta Runner to Sunset Paradise, until i finally got hooked on Murder Drones, then i finally saw The Amazing Digital Circus one Murder Drones ended.
@@Gyroman_002 It's been taken off the store :( It came out 2 years ago, the promotional video on Glitch is still up for it so you can catch a glimpse of it there. There may be some pages up to see somewhere online too but I've never really looked. If you want a copy your best bet is to look for people selling theirs. I don't know if it will be easy or difficult, but I wish you luck on your journey if you decide to try and find one!
I Love Glitch all of there Projects have been Amazing yes even Sunset Paradise. But yeah Its So sad Meta And Sunset are Completely Forgotten... Tari in both SMG4 and Meta Runner was a huge inspiration for My own Character love her so much :3
sad to see murder drones end mabe we will see more of murder drones but it seems like it has no whare left to go unless thay make a new big bad for season 2 otherwise murder drones ended on a high note
I feel like meta and sunset are more for the SMG4 fans, though both having flaws because they were newer (THOUGH THEY HAD NO REASON TO RUIN MEGGY LIKE THAT RERUN SUNSET!!!)
This seems like the most robotic comment ever ngl, or the most “im totally not 11” comment cause aint no way you’ve watched glitch since it first started but not what made glitch a thing, smg4.
Honestly great Video! I might be blinded by nostalgia (being an smg4 kid as well like you) but Meta Runner (and Sunset Paradise) still hold a special place in my heart. I do wish people gave it a chance and even Glitch themselves acknowledge it a bit more, but I feel like the popularity of Murder drones and Digital Circus was a bit too much. I still think they're amazing shows and the influence it had on indie animation was incredible, but hopefully people can see this vid in order to give Glitch's first few shows a watch. One thing I will note is that this all started with original concepts with Luke and Kevin's and now they partnered with others (Liam Vickers & Goosewrx) to help make their own shows (and even later in the future with Gaslight district) I'll also mention the sad controversy/drama with Tari's original voice actor Celeste Notley. I won't elaborate but it really was a bit heartbreaking to her, metarunner fans, fans of Tari, and others. The lack of awareness with these previous shows does make me sad, but whenever there was mentions of Meta Runner AT ALL, it gives me somewhat hope. Seeing a mini Tari in the Glitch INN teasers, the Glitch INN reddit mural with someone drawing the MR logo celebrating 5 years, and also even just that small clip of Meta runner (and Sunset Paradise) during Glitch X. I'm glad that some stuff has happened but wish that they could've done so much more with where they started off with in indie animation.
As someone who has been around since SMG4 reveals the birth of Glitch’s existence, this puts a smile on my face that people are finally recognizing their older shows. Meta Runner and Sunset Paradise really deserve all the love and support. Thank you so much for showcasing them into the spotlight they desperately need right now 🫶❤️
I would’ve loved to see “coconut boy”’s series to have been a thing with better worldbuilding like, make it start normal where he doesn’t know he’s in a game but when he sees himself and Tari he starts to question reality, and begin to realize the monotony and repetitiveness of his life. That’s such a solid idea for a series and is almost a reverse of digital circus that could have the same existential undertones and deep themes.
Tbh youve actually made me wanna watch the other 2 shows, ive watched md and tadc and LOVED them, but never thought the other 2 would catch my interest, so thanks for helping me realise i might actually like them :3
Very Glad you made this video. As Glitch continues to push away from their original series (Still don’t forgive them for skipping Meta Runner’s 5th anniversary to instead promote their new and profitable series) It’s nice to see that these shows still have their fans.
How can they forget Tari from metal runner and meggy from sunset Paradise they were the best characters and the best movies ever they don't deserve to be forgotten
As someone who knew about Glitch Productions with TADC and then Murder Drones, I must say I love all of their shows, cause I decided to check out Meta Runner and Sunset Paradise too cause I thought “I like these two Glitch shows, but there are other two that look good but I don’t know why people don’t talk about them”, and it’s one of the best decisions I have ever made. Meta Runner turned into my favorite show from them but I still love them all absolutely (and I must say I lowkey disagree with your point at 23:07, I think it’s not necessary to watch SMG4 and understand the lore to enjoy Sunset Paradise or the character of Meggy, saying this as someone who isn’t interested in SMG4 but likes Glitch. She’s honestly one of my favorite Glitch Charcters ever)
@@killerzombie2171 That's true because Meta Runner's Tari and SMG4's Tari are confirmed by the creators to be two separate versions of Tari which makes that show non-cannon! (I'm also sure that Kevin and Luke also confirmed that Meta Runner was also non-cannon to the SMG4 franchise)
Man, I used to be obsessed with Meta Runner and Sunset Paradise when they came out, I'm Glad that a lot of people in the comments also remember the old shows (Btw I was indeed a bit mad when you didn't mention Masa's name and just called him "The Edgy" at the beginning lol)
Thank you for making this video, it’s nice to see another SMG4 fan on here, I’m planning on doing a series review for Meta Runner myself since it’s been a huge creative inspiration for me.
I was an smg4 fan and I’m still an Smg4 fan. So I’ve been watching glitch since the beginning. But honestly their other shows do deserve recognition to a certain extent as well including meta runner honestly. And hopefully people eventually start talking about them.
As a person who was there when SMG4 dropped Meta Runner, I gotta say I'm sad to see how the first few shows just be left to be forgotten. Yet I also understand that not only did these shows help get the Studio to gain traction, they were pretty much experimental for the Glitch bros. So it is what it is, they might not be the main course of this Studio's history, but they were the first to make it. In conclusion, MetaRunner was peak nostalgia, Whisk from Sunset Paradise was hot, and Theo is probably chilling somewhere.
You’re maybe confusing it with how Theo from Meta Runner was gonna have a spin off series titled Ultra Jump Mania, but it ended up being cancelled. But it still would’ve been cool for Sunset Paradise fans if Whisk did have a spin off series of her own (I say it like this because I didn’t watch Sunset Paradise, it looks way too cutesy for my liking).
@doodlederp2546 if you're talking about the footage seen in the initial Glitch channel introduction they likely just placed Whisk over Meggy as to not reveal that Sunset was a Meggy spinoff
You are one of the few people who acknowledges one of the best channels on yt. I really hate that people think that glitch is the original channel even though it is the second channel for SMG4.
Thank you so much for bringing their other shows to light, especially Meta Runner. And don’t worry, I’ve been following their way adventures for years now. It still feels like not that long ago when Luke first released Meta Runner.
I think the reason that poster doesn’t give metarunner and sunset paradise justice is because it was NOT made by glitch, if i remember correctly it was made by enchantedmob/zamination (aka the creators of poppy playtime) as a “gift” to glitch (because of the subscribers goal and also to promote themselves by using the trending “popularity of tdac and md and their studio” to get some more views) and so, as a celebrative gift fot glitch, they also had to insert tari and meggy too, even if not knowing a damn about their series, that’s why all the other side characters are missing. But yeah, besides that, glitch does kinda leave behind those series, as nobody knows them nowadays.
as someone who loved meta runner and sunset paradise just as much as you did i love that someone is finally giving it some light and trying to make it relevent again
I have been watching smg4 since late 2017, and was there when Meta Runner just started. It's great to know that I can find people who also remember the old Glitch shows
My favourite show is Meta Runner, it will always be in my heart because I was there from the start… sunset paradise will always also have a special place in my heart from watching the storyline to just laughing it was amazing
I do love all of Glitch Production shows and SMG4 as a whole, and I feel like a small reason why meta runner and sunset paradise doesn't get too much recognition was because they were the first two shows that luke and kevin were attempting to make and expand their content outside of the wacky and random videos of SMG4, and after awhile they kept on improving more and more with what works and what doesn't work both with story and characters. Sure Tari and Meggy were great but they were still part of the SMG4 Universe so you need a lot of context from those videos to get engage and understand those two beginning shows. Murder Drones and The amazing digital circus, They were their own things with their own characters and stories and had more complex writing and story telling features with outside artists like LiamVickers and Gooseworks giving them a unique animation for those shows. Meta Runner and Sunset Paradise are good shows and I do think they should be remembered as such, but I think what makes Murder Drones and The Amazing Digital Circus a bit better is that the group at GLITCH Productions just gained more and more experience and improved a lot from where they first started out. So in a way, if it wasn't for meta runner and sunset paradise existing at all in their current state, then we wouldn't have the absolute golden style of indie animation like Murder Drones and The Amazing Digital Circus at all. But like I said, this is just my own opinion and it may not be entirely true, but I just see some beauty in all of this if it is true from an animation and artistic perspective.
Finally someone mentions meta runner and sunset paradise, I’ve always made jokes about meta runner being better in front of murder drones fans and the response I always got was “who?, what?” Seemed like everyone just forgot about these early shows
I haven't watched the whole video... but I LIVE the Meta Runner season 2 theme. I still love the first season theme, but the second one is just Peak in my opinion, and was shocked to hear your opinion.
THAAANK YOUU! Holy shit, I’ve literally wanted see somebody to talk about these two shows respectfully. It’s about damn time as well. I remember seeing the meta runner teaser for WOFTI 2018, being confused as hell in my 10 year old brain. Next thing I know, I’m drowning in a show that’s really awesome. Along with sunset paradise. Thank you honestly!
I’ve been a long-time fan of SMG4, so I watched them before glitch released. I remember watching each meta runner episode when they came out. It’s been so cool to see them get so big.
TADC was such a suprise for me since I started watching what Glitch was releasing from the beginning but stopped midway through Murder Drones as I got confused, so I decided to just watch it when it all came out. When I heard that Glitch released a new pilot and that it went mega viral, I was flabbergasted.
To this day I hate myself because I knew about this show SMG4 made called "murder drones" for years as I had watched smg4 vids since 2017 and I never went to watch it until the end of 2023
33:35 I know it was disapointing to not see more game location but I loved this pirate world. But that’s probably because I love pirates game (and other media) and steampunk stuff too.
I love meta runner. And I was also a sgm4 fan, and when I watched it, I loved it. It makes sense why it’s not as famous, but either way, I will love it more than any other show.
I am a certified smg4 fan, and when they first realeased glitch,i was like, BRO THIS IS SO COOL LIKE ACTUAL ANIME, now creating the most viral shows.🗿🍷
Blue guy as a murder drones fan some people will start blasting hate or threats to you because of you not liking uzi please ignore them if you see them in the comments in this video trust me some murder drones fans will go out of there way to hate
I agree with that because I feel like a lot of people are just way, and I mean WAY too over protected! About that franchise even though it's not really that deep. They're like treating the characters like they're saints and like the greatest things ever written even though they're not!😂
The amount of joy I felt when I read the title. I absolutely loved meta runner and sunset paradise, it hurts to know how unpopular the two shows are. I SHALL ENJOY META RUNNER TILL I DIE‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
I heard about Meta Runner from all the SMG4 I watched, and I actually watched the first few episodes of Sunset Paradise, I can’t say anything about Meta Runner but Sunset Paradise was very nice (especially the art style)
I was a big fan of smg4 inbetween 2018 to 2020, and that is the only reason I knew about glitch when it started. I was so impressed with the first show they made on glitch. but then I forgot about it and didn't ever finish the series.

he was planned before we knew of mr puzzles , way before
46:54 "nah, i need to watch something more grown up, like hasbin totel"
I fell of my the couch laughing
have a good day
Fantastic video talking about this subject, man. I'm a big Digital Circus fan and a former fan of SMG4 back on 2015 to 2017.
Man, I used to be obsessed with Meta Runner and Sunset Paradise when they came out, I'm Glad that a lot of people in the comments also remember the old shows
(Btw I was indeed a bit mad when you didn't mention Masa's name and just called him "The Edgy" at the beginning lol)
Thank you for making this video, it’s nice to see another SMG4 fan on here, I’m planning on doing a series review for Meta Runner myself since it’s been a huge creative inspiration for me.
Meta Runner is peak fiction and DESERVES more attention.
I was an smg4 fan and I’m still an Smg4 fan. So I’ve been watching glitch since the beginning. But honestly their other shows do deserve recognition to a certain extent as well including meta runner honestly. And hopefully people eventually start talking about them.
As a person who was there when SMG4 dropped Meta Runner, I gotta say I'm sad to see how the first few shows just be left to be forgotten. Yet I also understand that not only did these shows help get the Studio to gain traction, they were pretty much experimental for the Glitch bros. So it is what it is, they might not be the main course of this Studio's history, but they were the first to make it.
In conclusion, MetaRunner was peak nostalgia, Whisk from Sunset Paradise was hot, and Theo is probably chilling somewhere.
Also wasn't Whisk actually gonna be the next main character for a Sunset Paradise spinoff, man wish that came to be especially now.
You’re maybe confusing it with how Theo from Meta Runner was gonna have a spin off series titled Ultra Jump Mania, but it ended up being cancelled. But it still would’ve been cool for Sunset Paradise fans if Whisk did have a spin off series of her own (I say it like this because I didn’t watch Sunset Paradise, it looks way too cutesy for my liking).
@doodlederp2546 if you're talking about the footage seen in the initial Glitch channel introduction they likely just placed Whisk over Meggy as to not reveal that Sunset was a Meggy spinoff
It is wild that sm64 bloopers snowballed into Glitch
You are one of the few people who acknowledges one of the best channels on yt. I really hate that people think that glitch is the original channel even though it is the second channel for SMG4.
I can proudly say I’ve been around since the start of Meta Runner season 1 and that it’s my favorite GLITCH show
Thank you so much for bringing their other shows to light, especially Meta Runner. And don’t worry, I’ve been following their way adventures for years now. It still feels like not that long ago when Luke first released Meta Runner.
I think the reason that poster doesn’t give metarunner and sunset paradise justice is because it was NOT made by glitch, if i remember correctly it was made by enchantedmob/zamination (aka the creators of poppy playtime) as a “gift” to glitch (because of the subscribers goal and also to promote themselves by using the trending “popularity of tdac and md and their studio” to get some more views) and so, as a celebrative gift fot glitch, they also had to insert tari and meggy too, even if not knowing a damn about their series, that’s why all the other side characters are missing. But yeah, besides that, glitch does kinda leave behind those series, as nobody knows them nowadays.
@@ewarto i never knew that
is that why they screwed over meggy so much😭😭?? Im about to jump a show writer rn
as someone who loved meta runner and sunset paradise just as much as you did i love that someone is finally giving it some light and trying to make it relevent again
40 min video, I'm gonna grab popcorn
I have been watching smg4 since late 2017, and was there when Meta Runner just started. It's great to know that I can find people who also remember the old Glitch shows
I watch Sunset Paradise. It’s not that bad.
FRR
Facts!
SAME!
My favourite show is Meta Runner, it will always be in my heart because I was there from the start… sunset paradise will always also have a special place in my heart from watching the storyline to just laughing it was amazing
META RUNNER AND SUNSET PARADISE!!
I do love all of Glitch Production shows and SMG4 as a whole, and I feel like a small reason why meta runner and sunset paradise doesn't get too much recognition was because they were the first two shows that luke and kevin were attempting to make and expand their content outside of the wacky and random videos of SMG4, and after awhile they kept on improving more and more with what works and what doesn't work both with story and characters. Sure Tari and Meggy were great but they were still part of the SMG4 Universe so you need a lot of context from those videos to get engage and understand those two beginning shows. Murder Drones and The amazing digital circus, They were their own things with their own characters and stories and had more complex writing and story telling features with outside artists like LiamVickers and Gooseworks giving them a unique animation for those shows. Meta Runner and Sunset Paradise are good shows and I do think they should be remembered as such, but I think what makes Murder Drones and The Amazing Digital Circus a bit better is that the group at GLITCH Productions just gained more and more experience and improved a lot from where they first started out. So in a way, if it wasn't for meta runner and sunset paradise existing at all in their current state, then we wouldn't have the absolute golden style of indie animation like Murder Drones and The Amazing Digital Circus at all. But like I said, this is just my own opinion and it may not be entirely true, but I just see some beauty in all of this if it is true from an animation and artistic perspective.
Finally someone mentions meta runner and sunset paradise, I’ve always made jokes about meta runner being better in front of murder drones fans and the response I always got was “who?, what?” Seemed like everyone just forgot about these early shows
Y E S :)
I haven't watched the whole video... but I LIVE the Meta Runner season 2 theme. I still love the first season theme, but the second one is just Peak in my opinion, and was shocked to hear your opinion.
10:24 I CARED! I highly respect Masa, especially given what happens to him throughout the three seasons. Give him a break...
Metarunner finally gets recognition WOOOH!!!( and also sunset paradise I guess)
The way how one of the only clips you showed from SMG4 was snowtrapped was so funny-
Meta Runner is the first Glitch Productions project show by SMG4 how can people forgot so fast ?
Also SMG4 made this company.
THAAANK YOUU!
Holy shit, I’ve literally wanted see somebody to talk about these two shows respectfully.
It’s about damn time as well.
I remember seeing the meta runner teaser for WOFTI 2018, being confused as hell in my 10 year old brain.
Next thing I know, I’m drowning in a show that’s really awesome.
Along with sunset paradise.
Thank you honestly!
And least we can all collectively agree, Sunset Paradise is forgettable at best
I’ve been a long-time fan of SMG4, so I watched them before glitch released. I remember watching each meta runner episode when they came out. It’s been so cool to see them get so big.
1:13 OMG this is the only RUclipsr (that's not really small) to know about SMG4!!!!
wait who are you again?
I know, YIPPPPEEEEE!
plus the only one I know that likes/liked it
im pretty sure bigger youtubers know about smg4 -_-
@755 (I'm not typing the rest of your name cause yes 💅) WELL I HAVENT SEEN ONE
@@Faithy274 me neither
This video probably made a lot of new SMG4 fans and i am all in for it (and yes i like glitch production and SMG4)
I HAVE FOUND AN SMG4 FAN THAT IS ALSO AN AMAZING RUclipsR WHAT
TADC was such a suprise for me since I started watching what Glitch was releasing from the beginning but stopped midway through Murder Drones as I got confused, so I decided to just watch it when it all came out. When I heard that Glitch released a new pilot and that it went mega viral, I was flabbergasted.
Smg4 was my introduction, I have fond memories of sneaking up in the middle of the night to watch it
To this day I hate myself because I knew about this show SMG4 made called "murder drones" for years as I had watched smg4 vids since 2017 and I never went to watch it until the end of 2023
33:35 I know it was disapointing to not see more game location but I loved this pirate world.
But that’s probably because I love pirates game (and other media) and steampunk stuff too.
I remember watching Meta Runner when I was much younger and I’ve rewatched it a few times, and I’m glad someone is talking about it.
I still think Meta Runner is still pretty underrated. I rlly like the story concept. Still miss it to this day and blast the soundtrack.
I’m so glad someone is talking about these, Meta Runner is such a good show. I haven’t watched Sunset Paradise since it ended and it needs a season 2
Now do a complete breakdown of all the SMG4 Lore up until now (genuinely curious what you would think of it and how you would describe it)
I love meta runner. And I was also a sgm4 fan, and when I watched it, I loved it. It makes sense why it’s not as famous, but either way, I will love it more than any other show.
every glitch show ever is just a female protagonist who teams up with friends to complete a goal
I'll never forget peak runner and sunset paradise.
Also I was an smg4 fan. Im going to chop my hand off :3
I am a certified smg4 fan, and when they first realeased glitch,i was like, BRO THIS IS SO COOL LIKE ACTUAL ANIME, now creating the most viral shows.🗿🍷
Blue guy as a murder drones fan some people will start blasting hate or threats to you because of you not liking uzi please ignore them if you see them in the comments in this video trust me some murder drones fans will go out of there way to hate
I agree with that because I feel like a lot of people are just way, and I mean WAY too over protected! About that franchise even though it's not really that deep. They're like treating the characters like they're saints and like the greatest things ever written even though they're not!😂
If ppl don't like Uzi, they don't like Uzi! That's it! >:(
Ive been watching glitch for 4 years I loved to see the growth or the channel
Since md ended and tadc is not releasing yet, i went to smg4 and me and my friend got into it instantly
i just realized i've been an smg4 fan for over 8 years, still remember snowtrapped, which was one of the first videos i watched from them
4:07 WHAT, WHAT, WHY IS IT BURNING WHO DID THIS?!!!??!?!
it was a TADC hater :)
So glad people actually remember things like meta runner and sunset paradise and that it all started with smg4 videosss
I LOVE GLITCH SO MUCHHHHH
The amount of joy I felt when I read the title. I absolutely loved meta runner and sunset paradise, it hurts to know how unpopular the two shows are. I SHALL ENJOY META RUNNER TILL I DIE‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
yeah I've been here sense when the first meta runners ep dropped and watched ever sense then
and idc whisk would
and i even got Uzi,N,V,J,Tari normal,Tari in the robot game,Pomni,Cyn plushies
Seeing someone finally acknowledge sunset paradise exists gave me so much dopamine
Why did the snow trap scene keep showing up 😭
I heard about Meta Runner from all the SMG4 I watched, and I actually watched the first few episodes of Sunset Paradise, I can’t say anything about Meta Runner but Sunset Paradise was very nice (especially the art style)
I’m actually really good friends with David JG Doyle, the voice of Lucks from Metan Runner.
I was a big fan of smg4 inbetween 2018 to 2020, and that is the only reason I knew about glitch when it started. I was so impressed with the first show they made on glitch. but then I forgot about it and didn't ever finish the series.
3 of these already ended 1 is still in production
man its so wild hearing smg4 and meta runner be mentioned as obscure with them being such a big part of my childhood...
SMG4 FAN BOII WELCOME TO THE TEAM!!!!!!!!
I’ve watched glitch ever since meta runner came out. I’m so glad it’s being talked about.
2:55 THE GOAT
