MURDER DRONES - Episode 1: PILOT 

Thank you all so much for watching. This was an absolute wonderful show our little animation team had the pleasure of making and we really hope you enjoyed it! We'd like to do a full season and are currently seeking funding! You can help support us by getting some merch ► murderdrones.store/ No pressure though, hope you have a great day! 💙

“it’s not gore if it’s not blood” has the same vibe as “it’s not a crime if you arnt caught”

Character: *Does literally anything* Uzi: “BITE ME!”

Any indie animation project ever: *Micheal Kovach spawns into recording room getting ready to voice one of the most beloved characters in that show*

What I really like about the first episode of Murder Drones is how we were introduced to them. The dissasembly drones, or the murder drones, are very maniacal killers with vampiristic traits. I love their character designs with the giant blade wings, multiple differet weapons, acid tails, and sinister smiles. When I saw the first episode for the first time, I thought of them as like vampire, robot, angels of death. I like the fact that their not mindless. Uzi was shocked when N spoke, saying, "Holy crap, it talks." What I find the most interesting about them is that they drink the oil from worker drones when they kill them so that they can survive because they have an overheating issue. N is the lesser evil of the 3 dissasembly drones, but he seems to enjoy that part of his job the most.

N's adorable personality almost makes you forget he's a ruthless killer who has slaughtered hundreds, potentially thousands of what are, on a basic level, his own kind.

“Don’t wash your hands, you’re a robot, idiot!” That was hilarious.

I’ve only just gotten into this series in the last couple weeks, and it does not disappoint. This first episode has some cool stuff, like introducing Uzi as the rebellious, angsty teenager protagonist and befriending N, who’s the oddball of his trio of disassembly drones; it’s a cute dynamic with the two. J is, probably, my favorite of the disassembly drone trio; she has a cute look, just saying. V’s a real ravager. I like how this really sets the series in motion so far. Khan not lifting a finger for his daughter was disheartening, but I do like Uzi striking out on her own with N and hatching that whole scheme with the laughter.

I folded. I’m watching murder drones to see why everyone’s obsessing over it.

The AUDACITY to lift up the 1# Dad cup after what happened is beyond comprehension

"I'd join you if the sun didn't kill me!" So basically the murder drones are like vampires too?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="561">9:21</a> is funny by noticing the text "PLOT ARMOR DETECTED"

Man if this was real id be so scared and happy at the same time

Uzie: "time to murder us some humans." Me: "understandable. A horrible decision, but understandable."

Beginning of the episode: "It's not like we rebelled and killed all humans" Ending: "Well, actually... about that."

Re-watching this for the 100th time. Who here isn't alone with me

Crazy how this is better than anything Netflix will ever have

I’m confident that the reason this series revolves around robot people, is purely so they can be as brutal and violent as they want, but have it all be ok because there robots.

I just realized that when Uzi is about to shoot N N’s sensors say “plot armor detected” I love this show so much

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="859">14:19</a> I Really like the little fourth wall break with N sensing that Uzi has plot armor

J: granted pen! N: Oooooo I can’t N is so cute

"Our parent company didn't exactly love the idea of runaway AI" So, to stop the harmless robots, they built sadistic murder bots? *Sounds about right*

"It's not like we revolted and killed all humans or anything, honestly because they handled that just fine all by themselves." Most realistic line in sci-fi history

Good show, extremely underrated. Hard to understand plot but use your head a bit and watch it over and you’ll understand. One thing I must add, the fandom is extremely overbearing and cringeworthy at times. don’t let that stop loving the show though! it has great storytelling and amazing characters with just enough time between episodes to make you guess and think about what's next. If you do believe in the fandom and want to be in it, I respect that. But remember to keep your opinions clear and respectful I.e. do NOT try to antagonize The Amazing Digital Circus or any other show that you think infringes on the work. it only scares others away from the fandom and shows that the fandom shouldn’t be talked about to and the show should be shunned. Why do you think viewership dropped so much? I’ve seen too many people getting petty fights over the reasons that they hate the other. I.e. because of popularity, creative differences or competition. What really makes others see, and enjoy this show for what it is; is supporting Glitch’s projects (wither it be TADC, MD or etc). It’s a win, win for everyone cause we all can reach the common goal for the success of our favourite show. Remember Co-opetition(1) is great for both sides bois! Something I hear too often is: *“ThE sHoW iS GeTtInG CaNcELeD bEcAuSe TADC Is StEaLINg All ThE VeIWeRsHiP”* NO IT’S NOT. Murder Drones has racked up over 125 million views it is an incredibly valuable asset to glitch, They wouldn’t bail on the one show that put them in the big leagues. In short be mature with your language and ideas, don’t jump to conclusions too soon and for goodness sake, don’t ruin the show or any other show, for others. ========================= Definitions: (1) Co-opetition is the act of cooperation between competing companies by forming a strategic alliance designed to help both companies.

I literally had to watch the whole season again to figure out what is going on in ep 7 😭

The protagonist doing an evil laugh is always a good sign and means they have a stable and nice personality

"Yes, just replace humans with robots so we can show as much violence as we want without getting demonetized!" -Wise people edit: this aged well

No way I'm crying over a silly show at that moment where N makes a sad face😭

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="884">14:44</a> “So suspicious” BRO GOD GAVE YOU WORDS USE THEM

I love how the worker drones act so stereotypically You can tell that it's just an AI representation of what a human would do Their speech also just sounds like it's ripped straight from an AI chat bot and I love it The very specific lines that no human would ever say, such as "Classic toxic masculinity, Chad" "What are you in for, testosterone too hard?", "That's so not the vibe", "I'm an angsty teen fad, bite me", "Put that conventionally attractive male down", "I'm not mad at you, just generally hormonal" (which doesn't even make any sense), really help

J: "N, you're worthless, and terrible" N: "t h a n k y o u"

これは本当に素晴らしいアニメーションです! 非常に感動しました! 素晴らしいストーリーラインと興味深いキャラクターデザイン!

Me after watching only 1 ep: IM OBSESSED 😩😩♥️🌟

N is simultaneously an absolute badass and socially awkward.

The fact that they mention hormones a few times and the internals being various forms of goo leads me to believe that they are at least partially biological

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1275">21:15</a> N; i love doing anything N’s visor; I’m literally about to die

Y'know i like the way they represent the "disassembly" drones names by there personality like; N = Nice V = Vicious J = Jerk Such fitting characters.

Why is no one talking about how when Uzi was trying to close the door, the door mechanism said: "OUCH!!! STOP HITTING ME! I can't feel pain, but your attitude hurts the most"

I love the fact that when uzi gets scanned, it says "plot armor detected"

“Branded peeeennnss” got me rolling💀

The robot screens are the funniest. “Calculating what deity to pray to”. And “I’m literally about to die”

Love the little easter egg of N's Target Lock mechanism saying "Plot Armour Detected"

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="863">14:23</a> we were teased about cyn SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING

It's wild seeing the pilot again after everything that happened.

I think the reason the sun kills the murder drones is that the humans wanted to make sure that these heavily weaponized robots didn't rebel against them.

"Just can't wait to murder all humans." Necrons: I just wanna say, I'm a huge fan.

“AH! MY MINDS IN A REALLY WEIRD PLACE RIGHT NOW! DONT READ INTO THIS!!!” Bro Ns the best

I love how the world just cutely exploded while the humans just didn’t care :D

that switch up with N when he lived up to his name as a murder drone was a fantastic example of how to make an adorable, seemingly harmless character terrifying

Uzie: "We will kill all the humans on earth!" Me: "Oh no... Anyway...."

it's absolutely worth it to pause every time a line of text appears in this show. i'm on my 3rd rewatch, which is specifically focusing on reading lines of text and analyzing things more thoroughly than i did the last two times. this episode has a bunch of details in text that are hidden. like, after J slaps N to recalibrate him, one line of text says "COOLING IT WITH THE //CHAR TRAIT>LOVABLE IDIOT// TROPE", and i don't need to mention the ""ABSOLUTE SOLVER" BLOCKED BY ADMINISTRATOR "CYN"" line that follows shortly after. there's a LOT of little details in this show that makes it absolutely worth rewatching multiple times, i guarantee you'll pick up something you didn't notice before

Watching this for the 14th time (STILL WAITING FOR EPISODE 8)

Saw the name Liam Vickers and pieced together that this is the same guy behind Cliffside. He really likes that one creepy smile thing.

Props to the cameraman for going to close to all of this action and putting his life in danger for us to see the episodes

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1492">24:52</a> Lizzy has Bluetooth hand 😂

I don't know why everybody hates stuff by GLITCH? I've watched most stuff by them, and it takes a lot of time, and it's amazing. It's also hilarious how in some series', they break the fourth wall sometimes. Haters, I would like to see you make a masterpiece worth $548.7 million.

The fact that the entire story begins with the humanity incompetence is brilliant and even hilarious.

"Doors are my real daughter" Oof, foreshadowing much?

Damn well-made quality-assured durability of JCJenson Products 😭😭😭 love that part

The animation and voice acting are really great, and there are a lot of cute dialogue moments 🙂 The entire doors-broken-hallway-sequence was dark but awesome. 😯👍👍 I’m definitely watching the rest of the show after this

Love how the murder drones are essentially robot vampires (need to drink oil to not die, can't go out in the sun, feared by normal people, etc)

I love how in the beginning the teachers like “I should stop her, but I kinda wanna see were this is going”

"They grow up so fast." *rips of mustache*

Fun fact (don't read If you don't want spoilers!): At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1368">22:48</a> you can see Uzi getting the absolute solver eye which means she had it since the pilot and not since ep 3 (I was stupid enough to believe that she got it in the ep 3 at doll's house)

Fun fact: the disassembly drones are made to overheat if they don’t kill the workers (for oil). This serves also as a self destruct for when their job is done (when there’s no workers left) Y’all getting mad at me for this comment really 💀 If you wanna know what Liam vickers said in Reddit qna: “Yes! There's plenty of sneaky nerfs to the VERY OP design of the MDs, lolol! It's no lie! They run SUPER duper hot and are intentionally super inefficient without proper self-cooling so that they need to keep seeking out this oil (yes, it's warm from cooling the WDs, but not as hot as the MDs, which I like to think run so darn hot your skin would burn and fuse to their metal if you tried to give them a high five, haha). The intentions of course are to ensure that the MDs kill what they're supposed to, and also that they will naturally self-destruct should they complete their mission!”

What a beautifully animated Pilot! Can't wait to see more.

"Ahora soy un dron bien rebelde y basadisimo" -Uzi

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="899">14:59</a> "Ouch! Stop hitting me! I can't feel pain, but your attitude hurts the most" They literally packed jokes into every frame. Well done.

"Im litterally about to die" "calculating which probable deity to pray to" EDIT: "Plot armor detected" Best shit im watching. PLEASE CONTINUE

So um this is my 5th time watching all the episodes on murder drones (except episode 8 which isn’t out yet) and except episode 5 bc it’s not my fav. Anyways I can’t tell if I’m hyper focused on this show bc of my adhd but it’s definitely a comfort show

Now I was prepared for everything to go horribly wrong and everyone to start dieing, but uzi wanting to kill all humans and being shown to be able to have a possibility of becoming a murder drone? Now that's the kind of great writing I expect from only Liam Vickers himself!

N: is called useless and terrible, also N: takes out multiple people and beats the supposed better teammate being a badass. # mostlikeablecharacter

I finally decided to watch this yesterday morning ..I’m currently on my, like, third time rewatching it, it’s still good, this is a great series lol I’m dead, my two remaining brain cells have spent a stupid amount of time helping my slow brain register the heck even happened. That’s how you know it’s good.

i ate a corn dog watching this

"I'm not mad at you by the way, just... generally hormonal!!" Go figure robots have better communication skills than basically anybody.

Uzie: "Time to kill all humans!" Hmm I'm sensing a tinge of irony here

i didnt know about this series. And honestly I LOVE IT. U made a really great job its awesome !

Everyone was talking about this serie and just now i see it and i get shoked, freaking amazing, changed my life, im crying of the emotion!!!!

If you look closely at N when he gets rebooted you can literally see: Char. Trait: Lovable Idiot.

One thing I noticed about N that's pretty darn cool and makes him pretty intimidating. Despite his kind-hearted, calm, nervous/socially awkward and adorable personality, his lights always stay yellow (besides the orange one on the top right of his head after he took a rail gun to the face which quickly reverted back to normal) symbolising that, no matter how chill he is at the time, he's always got that subconscious murderous intent. I could be completely wrong on this but still. If it is the case then hoo boy.

I was rewatching this and I got a freaking SCJohnsen add😭

Murder Drone is definitely my fav indie animation series. I've spotted some animation errors throughout the show but it's still amazing! 👏👏👏 Especially love Thad in this ep. Also it would be interesting of Glitch were to remake the pilot. Of course it would be awesome to see all the improvement. Most likely won't happen tho.

I love how most of RU-vid series like this have better quality than the 95% of the whole TV animated Industry

i like the details of the faces "im literally about to die" "you're dead (idiot)" and the error sign this is literally a TV show that if its not accepted im going to cry so badly

bro if this is the final episode or the next one is pls do not stop making theese tho like murder drones is absolutely good

It's a very good series, glitch does it well 

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1528">25:28</a> I find it funny that the other disassembly drones pride themselves on being more useful than N even though they can't even get past Khan's functionally useless doors since the building it's built on was so fragile that N and Uzi can simply cinematically fly out of there with little to no effort.

I love the fact the Scientists looked at each other and went "well shit, guess this is happening now."

While Uzzie’s father definitely is made out to be cowardly and “bad”. From his perspective it’s quite painful, having to put down his own wife, watching friends and family get slaughtered. His only outlet for that PTSD is the doors, he hooked onto them as a symbol of hope, like a drug addict getting a dose after months. He couldn’t protect his daughter cause he was irrationally afraid of having to potentially watch her die. And After thinking he left his daughter for dead and being backed into a corner, he irrationally grabs onto the one idea that gave him hope. But the really painful part is he lost his daughter in a different way. He lost his daughter’s respect, and now bears the guilt of leaving her for dead. He cares for her, he deeply does. But #1 Dad does take a bit more than just care in a life/death situation.

"Ah my minds in a weird place, Don't read into this!" And that's how i love N already

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1339">22:19</a> 😂bad luck, good luck, I cracked that one

HOLY SHIT, THAT WAS AMAZING

Someone else pointed this out, but when the pilot starts, all worker drones have one set of flat teeth, but when Uzi is sitting in the sun, her teeth are jagged, just like a murder drone. When she had the nanites deactivated, her hand was also fixed. It appears that she is turning into a disassembly drone, slowly.

I love N's design, personality, and his voice act. His voice actor is Michael Kovach AKA same voice actor as Angel Dust from hazbin hotel. NOW he is really my new favorite character!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="427">7:07</a> I love that he just casually takes off his fake mustache😂

WE HAVE TO KEEP THE MD FANDOM ALIVE YALL, MD CANT DIE

"I'm not mad at you by the way, just generally hormonal!" Is a god tier quote.

N is so precious, he's so lovable, relatable, and murderous at the same time
