META RUNNER - The End // Final Season: Ep 8 (GRAND FINALE) 

Thank you all so much for watching 💙 Meta Runner is the show that started it all for us as an animation studio 5 years ago and it means so much to us that you've stayed around this long to watch our stuff. We're very VERY excited to announce that although this is the end to Tari's story, this is NOT the end of content surrounding Tari. We have just dropped a FIRST ISSUE META RUNNER COMIC BOOK that tells the cannon story about how Tari came into existence. You can get that here ► metarunner.store/ No pressure though, hope you have a great day! 💙

Seeing Evelyn cry has given me more joy than actually finishing the series

This is the first animated series I've seen thats genuinely made me cry. Tari went through so much shit she never asked for, and in the end got almost the worst outcome possible, being alive forever, and seperated from most things she held dear. Its super depressing and I feel really bad for her. Bravo guys, Bravo

One year ago to this very day, we lost a very special and amazing character. Tari was the best character I’ve ever seen in meta runner. May she be remembered in memory and heart.😢❤

As Bill once said: “We’ll… meet again. Don’t know where, don’t know when. But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day.”

That final “goodbye guys” from Tari broke me.

Happy 1st Anniversary, Meta Runner Season 3!

Well, it's been exactly one year since Meta Runner ended and honestly, I still feel sad. But still, thank you Luke for creating a timeless masterpiece and also props to the whole GLITCH team for all the hard work that went into this series. These guys did a fantastic job !!! Anyways, go watch (or rewatch) Meta Runner because it's an incredible and underrated series that deserves more love and attention !!!

The ending is so incredible. The good guys all get a happily ever after, even though, they'll probably never see eachother again. But I hope someday they do.

These guys went from making Mario doing stupid things to creating this masterpiece of a show. Round of applause for Luke and Kevin

Well done, Kevin and Luke. Well done. This was one of the most amazing shows I’ve ever watched, and now I can’t stop crying… Sure, I may have been a year or so late to *_the_* party, but hey, better late than never, right? I’ve been going back in time these past few weeks and watching your older shows that I hadn’t seen yet. First I watched all of Sunset Paradise-which was *_amazing_* as well-and then I watched this, which was quite *_digital_* if I do say so myself. And with the *_circus_* coming to town this year, I can see a lot of references back to this. If you haven’t caught on yet, look at the words in italics and bold starting with the previous paragraph. You’re welcome. But above all else, I just wanted to say thank you, for everything. You are the channel I didn’t know I needed. All these shows have given me endless joy so far, and I’m sure they will continue to do so as Murder Drones comes to a conclusion and TADC starts its (Unreal) engines. I’ve been suffering from some mild depression lately, and I’ve completely lost my hope for things to get better. The world seems to be going down the drain faster than we can plug it, and there’s nothing I can do to change that. I wish I could do something to change the world and make things right, but I don’t have any power here. However, thanks to you guys-and these wonderfully produced shows-my hope is starting to return. You two and your extremely talented team are my light in this endless darkness, and the Digital Circus is only making it brighter. Keep on rocking it, GLITCH! You guys are genuinely making my life so much better!!!

This probably will be lost in the flood of comments, but I wanted to throw in my two cents. So, I am writing this a few days before episode 4 of Murder Drones comes out, and while I was waiting I decided to finally watch Meta Runner. I binged the whole 3 seasons in 2 days and I have to say this, I am upset on how long I slept on this series. It is a masterpiece and a half. It tells a beautiful story, with some amazing scenes and visuals, and I teared up at the end of it all. But I have a question for the Lerdwichagul brothers (if they somehow see this). How does it feel to have a series like Meta Runner, the series you put so much time, effort, and tears, the series you (kinda) created by yourselves, being (seemingly) overshadowed by Murder Drones, the series you did help create, just not your own personal, family made creation? I don't ask to be rude or snarky, I just want to know how you guys feel about it. Anyways, my rant is over. If anyone reads this, watch and rewatch all of Meta Runner, it's fantastic.

Seeing bubbly characters like Tari and especially Sophia cry honestly broke me.

as Pops would say, “Good show, jolly good show.” thank you for making this series Kevin and Luke, and a special thank you to all the voice actors for all the passion you put into your voice lines, it’s been a fun ride.

Tari is the definition of someone who is so wholesome, but disappears quickly after doing alot of good. She's pretty much a Dystopian Jesus type character You'll miss alot.

Here I am... one year late... this is one of my favorite shows of all time now! Thank you all for making such a unique and engaging show, and I hope I have the pleasure of getting my application accepted when I put it in!

idk why but Lucks’ part might have been my favorite part in the episode. It just hit different for me. Yes, the fact that Tari and Theo are alive in a way, the fact that they live in a server forever is kind of sad to me, but they at least seem happy that way.

Back when you first released this show, i thought "meh, its probably something silly". Now that you released the final episode, my curiosity was peaked and i decided to check it out. Ended up binge watching this entire thing, and oh boy was i wrong. This is a true masterpiece of a story, and i want to thank you and your team for creating it.

This one of the saddest endings to a show I've ever watched. I still shed tears every time I rewatch it. Nothing but masterful, Meta Runner is peak. As someone who subbed to SMG4 in like 2016 I watched the entire show start and finish. What an insane crusade. I will forever remember this show.

They should make a half hour special for this series 5 year aniversary where they all find a way to reunite.

That has got to be one of the most brutal deaths I've seen any of Luke's works pull off. Like, you don't die painlessly from that much electricity. I like that Lucks left on a good note at the end. He might not be the best businessman and did some pretty bad things, but he's above doing whatever Sheridan did. I respect him for that. It also seems to be a happy ending for everyone on the protagonist side. Masa lived, Lucinia was restored, the rest of the MD5 ended Sheridan's short-lived reign of terror, and both Tari and Theo got a nice cyberspace private server to themselves. A pretty bittersweet ending.

10/10 finale.Will greatly miss this series. The end was a perfect mix of sadness and happyness

Thank you glitch, this show means the world to me.

14:23 you gotta Love how Lucinia appears out of nowhere and slaps evelyn in the face.

"Well technically, I'm not going to destroy your work. You are." Marco's most badass and coldest line. I love how he's the one who gets to end the bastard that is Sheridan. Of all the characters I expected to defeat Sheridan, it was ultimately Marco, who I didn't greatly expect. But I was ultimately satisfied nevertheless.

So THATS why Bell cared about Lucinia so much. Honestly it makes a lot of sense looking back at it

At Tari and Theo’s memorial I felt like crying but at that moment I realised the happy ending 🥹

I have no words. This has got to be the best animated show I’ve seen on RU-vid- there was so much emotion (me literally bawling my eyes out in the last two episodes lol) and the experience of watching this throughout the years of its creation is just- amazing. That’s only the beginning of what I have to say about this show but I don’t want my comment to be 12 paragraphs long so- great job y’all ❤🥹✨✨

I like to imagine that MD-5 will eventually find their way to Tari’s server

Thank you everyone for supporting Meta Runner over the years! What a fantastic end to an amazing series. I have loved playing Tari and am forever grateful to be part of the meteoric rise of Glitch Productions. Tari out! ✌️💙💙💙

Tari: "Thanks for the adventure". Sound familiar? Axol: "Thank you for the adventure" RIP both of them.😢😭

Only 9 months? This finale feels like it's been years already. Rewatching it makes me miss it all over again 😭

This ending felt nearly perfect, kinda sad yet satisfying. Is there a word for that? Like, it's the best possible outcome that could've happened given the severity of the situation.

I was a havin' a good time till the end then when Tari decided to make that sacrifice and the following few minutes that just got me to tear man you boys did a spectacular job. I cant wait to see what you guys will do next and good luck. "May the Blue Jay be remembered"

The ending was good, but not perfect. A perfect ending would be them contacting MD5 via that window thing Lucks used to talk with Theo when Theo was imprisoned. They can't exist in the real world anymore, but they could have at least contacted MD5 at the end to let them know they're alive and happy.

I'm really glad I came back to finish this. I can't believe that I was in high school when this first started and now I'm almost ready to transfer to university. Thank you Luke and Kevin and all who work behind the scenes at Glitch, Meta Runner is truly the experience of a lifetime.

It feels incredible to witness Evelyn finally get what she deserved at the end lol

Gotta love how the first thing lucinia did was to slap Evelyn in the face

I love the fact that Lucks comes back in the end and takes that parting shot of his. Just that last little, Screw you! From Lucks that planted the idea and helped do it with tari. And how he just dipped immediately after just like, my time has come. fades away SO PERFECT I WAS DYING

*I know I’m late to the party since this ended a year ago but Lucks’ voice is absolutely magnificent.*

I almost cried when Tari had to sacrifice her chance of getting back to the real world to save Lucina

If Tari has her own private server, then she should be able to invite people in like Sheridan did. That way she might be able to still see all her friends again

it's been a year since meta runner ended and I'm still watching it 😭😭😭😭

One year, feels like yesterday this was just a trailer

At first I was thinking things like "When will they finish it?" and "Why would they start and finish an entirely new show with this still unfinished?". ( Provided I did still love Sunset Paradise.) But now that it finally happened, I'm sad I have to bid Meta Runner goodbye. The ending really hit me in the feels, and I have a lot of good memories with this series. Thank you guys for bringing us all so much joy. I'll never forget Tari's wacky journey.

I loved the reprises of Tari’s Last Chance, Always Running, and Lucinia’s Theme Breeze. They were absolutely heartfelt and mastered perfectly. This entire series was an amazing journey to watch. Thank you Glitch, SMG4, and everyone involved. It was truly amazing

I am so glad I finally watched this show. I started watching this last week, unlike when I should've started, years ago when nathaniel bandy promoted it. Throughout these few days, I have grown attached to these characters, and I am amazed at this show. The best part is that it showed what video games are actually like, which is nothing compared to what big animation studios think video games are. I mean, they showed glitches and exploits that make sense, video games feel like video games, video game music is not stuck being chiptune, and most of all, it gave an amazing story. While it is a show about video games, I haven't heard any of the regular video game references (princess in another castle, donkey kong, etc), but it did give us some fresh video game references (link opening a chest, I have no idea is masa shimamoto is a mix of masahiro sakari and shigaru myamoto or not, but if it is, then it's an amazing reference). And plus, it didn't have much limitation, so it could do dark themes and even stabbing multiple people straight through without being told not to. I absolutely love this show, and can't wait to watch more GLITCH shows.

I've watched the first 2 seasons when they first came out years ago but I have never seen the third season and watching this last episode today made me cry for a few hours but this will be my favorite animated series forever and will always hold a special place in my heart

You know, I didn’t expect to cry throughout this journey.

WHY DID THE SHOW END WITH THAT? I CANT STOP CRYING! SO GOOD

Im still glad that Theo and Tari got to live together with all those awesome things to do.

You made me cry two flipping time WAAAAAHHH it’s over noooo:(

I never would have guessed during my childhood that the same guys that would make goofy episodes like "Boil the Big Bully" and "Who Let the Chomp Out" and "Mario Simulator" would be capable of creating a masterpiece like this. Thank you guys for an amazing 3 years

Man, and to this day I still remember my younger self saying "SMG4 is making a show les gooo!" I was 11 and now I'm 14 years old and here from now on I will always love this show till the very end. Thank you Luke and Kevin for making life worth living. I mean that. ❤😊

I have never cried watching a show or movie before. This show is so incredible

I fist watched smg4 for a while but after seeing this masterpiece of a show I wil never look at Tari and belle in the same way

THAT ENDING WAS SO IMPACTFUL, MAJOR W'S TO EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS

Enjoyed it all the way through!!!

Okay in all honesty, it was a long time since I actually cried when watching a story/movie/series, but Meta Runner has actually brought me to it again. When Meta Runner first released I thought it was just some stupid 1 episode show, since at the time I really didn't think that Luke and Kev could do something more than just run of the mill SMG4 videos, oh man was I wrong. I still remember watching Meta Runner for the first time almost two years ago I literally bingewatched the second season in one night because I was so into the show. And in all honesty I am so pleased I did, this story has brought me so many emotions that I feel like I expirienced evey single emotion there is just while watching the show. All I have to say is... thank you. Thank you Luke, Kevin and the rest of the GLITCH team. This story means a lot to me.

wow. Just wow. I am waiting for Murder Drones episode 7 and I decided to try and give Meta Runner a shot. At first I didn't expect much, but oh boy was I wrong! This is amazing, the story is great, the character development, the music, everything. The ending even had me crying. Absolutely amazing work. It is truly impressive we can watch such a great show for free on youtube.

I'm just glad to see Tari and Theo back together. And with a whole Server where they can enjoy their favorite games. They were the perfect duo.

I’m so glad that the ending didn’t involve Tari just magically coming back to life. The bittersweet ending hits much harder.

A year since this episode came out and it's always been a good one, Meta Runner will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you so much Glitch for creating this series for me, it's been a wild ride 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙

I love this ending, it shows how good of a person Tari is

This actually was the perfect ending for this. A bittersweet, warm ending where a mom and her hyper active kid go on adventures together. Thanks to all the team💙 And Crackerjack indeed.

Honestly what a great ending I'm glad they ended it at the right time and didn't just milk it for another 5 seasons like most other shows would have. What Glitch was able to do with this series was absolutely amazing. This show was really the only series on RU-vid I cared about and constantly got hyped for. Although I'm sad to see it come to an end I'm glad the show got a proper send off. Thanks Glitch for the amazing series you've created. This will definitely be a show I rewatch for years to come.

why is this already bringing back memories.

THANKS GLITCH FOR CREATING US SUCH AN ANIMATION

From start to finish, this series was amazing, nothing has ever got me so hooked. looking forward to your future works of art.

The conclusion of Tari's journey. Don't cry until the end guys... Well now that the series and the company ended, this was a one hell of a ride. Lucinia is back in her body, Tari is in a personal server, and Evelyn is... in jail? Well, farewell Meta Runner and GLITCH Productions, another show and company has come and gone. Okay, now that you've watched the episode, now you can cry.

Its been 9 months ever since the final season finale and I enjoyed watching meta runner and it was actually heartbreaking how tari had to sacrifice her life just to get lucinia back with the team, but also im kinda happy that theo and tari are still alive but sad that they can,t see there friends, i know this comment was during this month, and yes evelyn got what she deserved. Thank you GLITCH

its 2024 right now and watching this again fr made me cry again.

Plot : 10/10 Character development: 10/10 Animation: 10/10 Voice acting: 10/10 Music: 1000/10 Ending: had me crying/10 This show needs way more attention

Wow. That ending was an emotional roller coaster. Even I teared up a little.

I finally got around to this episode after putting off the rest of the series for so long...and oh man this ending is perfect so perfectly sad and happy a perfect bittersweet that subverted expectations

Just binge rewatched the whole series, forgot how much of a tearjerker it was..

Rest In Peace Tari 2019 - 2022 “Always running”

Remember that line from Lucks before he died: “So you are behind this.. well playe-“ So he knew about Sheridan’s survival and and realized he took over Masa’s arm to kill him. And we can go much deeper on that. The stakes Lucks mentionned were about Sheridan?

So beautiful - the whole Meta Runner serie. Thank you everyone involved bringing this wonder to us.

From all animations ive seen in movies and youtube, none have come close to glitch. They truly are the best

Almost cracked when Masa put down Tari's jacket in front of the picture and said that she was the thing holding them together. Good job, GLITCH.

If we completely honest, I almost cried. Rest in pixels Tari and theo 2019-2022 The fact these guys make stupid stuff on an another channel and can make an absoulute masterpiece of a talent.

Splendid. Thanks and congratulations for the hard works you've put into this series.

I still remember watching this finale when it came out and I can’t think of any other time when an animated show made me cry

In the loving memory of: Desti (SMG4: World War Mario) Greg the Alien (SMG4: Stupid Mario Arcade) Aloysius Bori (Sunset Paradise) Axol (SMG4 WOTFI 2021) SMG0 (SMG4 Movie: Revelations) and.... Tari, and Theo (Meta Runner)

It´s a pretty grim finale for Tari and Theo, eventually they´re going to run out of things to do, I just hope the guys find them in that server, however that would work

Took me a few years to stop delaying. This final season was something. Loved it.

This episode make me cry more than all the other series that I've seen combined. This animated serie is beautiful, amazing, and very very good built: the story is super cool, emotional and the animation is just fire. I've never seen anything like that. It really hurts that Tari had to go through all that and then just end up in another server, forever. Well, at least she has Theo. She went though a LOT of things, she stayed alive and confident, always fighting for her friends no matter the situation, and even in the end, she sacrificed herself for Lucinia. It was beautiful and there was a lot of cry. But I'm very glad Evelyn went to jail, that is one thing that I wanted :). But hey, not everything's lost: MD5 will always remember her as their loyal friend and captain, and I thing that's the most awesome, amazing and beautiful thing that ould happen. But well, I gotta admit that Tari needs a break from all that, she deserves to life hapily and safely, she deserves peace and a break, fly high Tari (and Theo, the guy is amazing too, he's so caring about others too and pretty funny) and remember, that MD5 will always conserve your memory and the'll miss you. Thank you for everything, Meta Runner, and thank you Glitch and thank you everyone that produced and helped in this project ❤ (I know I'm late but Idc, I needed to watch this).

My heart sank the moment that Tari said: “it’s meta runnin’ time” Truly the greatest line in this truly amazing series. No but seriously, this was an amazing experience and I’m so happy I got to witness it.

I now really want them to make a mini or actual series about tari and Theo’s adventure in the server/cloud.

This is the best show I’ve ever seen in my life. This episode brings me to tears every time I rewatch it. The fact that this show has evolved so much it’s absolutely amazing. I cant wait to see what you do next. ❤

This was such a great show. Imagine if whenever you play a game, and you meet a player that is just detroying everyone, its just Tari playing the game. Thank you for the amazing series Glitch

I don't know how it took me until the FINAL EPISODE to realize that Lucina and Belle were lovers

This was such an emotional roller coaster all the way through. I keep crying when I rewatch the ending, it’s so insane. How you guys really concluded this was perfect, I can tell you guys really put your heart into the production and care of this astonishing underrated series. This finale also made me learn a lesson about life. No matter how much you hold on, sometimes you have to let go. Even if you care about that person dearly to you. You have to go on the bright side of things, and think about how they’re in a much better place now. This series shows that everything is possible when you put your mind into it, and definitely the work at heart with your friends. Goodbye Meta runner, you were an awesome show that I’ve been watching from the start of its release. 🕊

had me in full tears and i'll never forget this show, never have, never will

Oh god I’m getting so emotional from this ending rn. I just want to say to the creators, thank you so much for giving us all this awesome and amazing experience of a show and I hope you can maybe somehow make more things about this franchise. This show will always be in my heart. Thank you! 🙂💙

I’ve been with Meta Runner ever since day one, when I was a freshman in high school. I can’t tell you how excited me and my brother would get when a new episode came on every Friday after school. It was one of our special things. I’m a senior now, and I guess it’s funny how this special thing came to an end on my last year of high school. I guess I would really like to thank Meta Runner for always being there, and for making memories that will last a lifetime. This adventure was amazing, and I can’t wait for what comes next. Thank you Luke and Kevin for this masterpiece! :)

Wow even when Evelyn is suffering she's still making my ears bleed, I wonder how all the other prisoners are going to handle her.

Dude I just found this show and want more it’s a fantastic series this episode made me cry a little

Thank you for making this show possible.
