Since there's two new shows coming out and no news of the third season of Meta Runner as of the time of writing, I decided to rename the thread so that it encompasses Glitch Productions itself instead of a single show.
Glitch Productions is founded by Luke and Kevin Lerdwichagul, the former of whom created the web series some of you may know as SMG4 (Super Mario Glitchy 4). His thread can be found here and his wiki page can be found here [A]. Discussions on the man himself should go in that thread.
Their shows so far include:
Meta Runner
Aka: RWBY: Esports Edition.
The first two seasons are out and the third is on the way.
Synopsis: Video games are basically everything. Live streaming, speedrunning, you name it. Since it's competitive as hell and people's social status is determined based on how well you play, it's enough for them to replace their limbs with cybernetic ones to boost their performance. These people are called Meta Runners.
One of them is an amnesiac woman named Tari who finds herself in Silica City after an accident that caused an explosion. Unlike the other Meta Runners, she quickly learns that she has the ability to enter the games she plays. However, this gets the attention of Lucks, the CEO of the abusive and corrupt TASCorp, who wants to recruit her. With the help of a group called MD-5, they work to bring down Lucks and the company by exposing their actions to the public.
Ultra Jump Mania
A spin off centered around Theo from Meta Runner. Only the pilot has been released last year in September.
Synopsis: It's set in Ultra Jump Mania, the game from the Meta Runner universe. it follows Theo as he goes on his adventures alongside his mentor, the Elder Tomato. No, this Theo is not the same Theo from Meta Runner. The ending makes that pretty clear.
Sunset Paradise
Another spinoff, this time focusing on Meggy from SMG4. The wiki claims that although it's in the SMG4 continuity, the show itself is standalone to focus on Meggy's character arc. Presumably, this means that you don't need to be too familiar with the SMG4 canon to watch it.
Synopsis: Ever since winning the final Splatfest and avenging Desti, Meggy has found it increasingly difficult to figure out what to do with her life. Determined to sort herself out with some much-needed relaxation, she's taken a holiday to Port Aurora, the island paradise home of the Aura Boras, and host to all manner of colorful tourists. Unfortunately for her, the streets have become plagued with criminal activity in the lead-up to its Phoenix Festival, and the closest thing the island has to an authority figure is the inept deputy Auri Bori. If Meggy wants to get any peace and quiet, she'll need to team up with Auri and lay down the law as Port Aurora's new sheriff, leading to one heck of a crazy misadventure.
Murder Drones
A science-fiction comedy horror not created by Luke or Keven, but instead created by Liam Vickers, who made Cliffside, Let's Split Up, PuppetGame, Internecion Cube, and worked as a production assistant on Glitch Tech. This is also the first series that doesn't have any ties to the SMG4 universe.
Synopsis: In the distant future, Earth has been mining exoplanets for resources, aided by a legion of Worker Drones. Then one day, a exoplanetary core collapse wipes out all the humans on it, leaving behind the Worker Drones and allowing them to live their own lives in the snowy post-apocalypse. Unfortunately for them, their attempt at a peaceful existence is quickly disrupted when they discover that their creators at the intergalactic megacorp JC Jenson, not willing to let their AI run free, have sent violent killing machines, the Murder Drones, to wipe them out.
The Amazing Digital Circus
A surreal slapstick comedy created by Gooseworx, known for creating covers on various popular songs in games and cartoons, as well as original compositions, and having previously worked on Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel.
Synopsis: A girl along with five other humans find themselves trapped in a virtual world full of possibilities except for two things; swearing and leaving. Hosted by the goofy A.I. Caine and his bubbly assistant Bubble, the six embark on all sorts of wacky, often traumatizing misadventures while trying to keep their sanity intact, lest something terrible happen to them.
