    Knights of Guinevere is an animation series by Glitch, the creators of some other amazing works that are freely available on YouTube.

    The 2nd episode just came out the other day, the series is set in an amusement park planet, where the two main protagonists (so far) find a damaged Guinevere robot, the mascot of the park, that seems to have experienced some… brutal treatments, and is unlike all the other Guineveres.

    I highly recommend their work, it’s really great. The only downside is waiting months in between episodes…

      Knights of Guinevere is an animation series by Glitch, the creators of some other amazing works that are freely available on YouTube.

      Just to add some more context, the specific creator behind this series is Dana Terrace, who also created The Owl House.

      Knights of Guinevere is easy to interpret as something of a hit piece against Disney, who canceled The Owl House for not being “on-brand” despite being a commercial and critical hit.

        Oh no, I don’t realize it was cancelled! That makes me really sad because it was a fantastic show and had such wonderful messaging

        But I absolutely will be looking up this series!

        Edit: I just watched the first episode… Holy fucking shit that was fun; I’m going to save the second one for when my partner comes home and we’ll watch the two that are out right now. I’m already hooked and look forward to the rest. It looks like there’s 4 total planned

      Episode 2 was amazing! For more context, it was created by Dana Terrance who also made The Owl House for Disney. Main character is queer, and it’s all about being an outcast in a society that demands conformity.

      She obviously did not have an easy time of it with Disney and it shows in KoG!

      internet stuff do be like that.

      It was similar for The Amazing Digital Circus.

        I checked out the other shows on that channel and recognized a couple of them even though I haven’t seen any. It seems they put out good, or at least popular, content. The pilot for TADC has 462 million views

        Hopefully Knights of Guinevere gets some of the same love

      I said in another comment that I’ve just watched the first one and I’m saving the second to watch later when everyone is home. I know they’ll like it and I’m really excited to see the rest, looks like Jan and April of next year

      But “holy fucking shit” is what I said to myself. It was a fantastic watch and I’d absolutely recommend to anyone to give it a try
