Animated (2021)

"Animated" is a series created by Ritchie "RobotRichie" Smith that centers around Jonathan Hewlett Jacob. The series starts with Jonathan Hewlett Jacob, a teenager in high school who doesn't know his place in the world, literally. He knows that he's in a cartoon show. A cartoon world. He knows nothing is real in his universe, but no one else believes or understands him. He's been an outcast as a result of believing everything isn't real. Until one fateful day, John soon realizes he's not alone in believing in the metaphysical and spiritual. He meets up with a girl his same age named Marley Crawford, an African/Japanese mercenary with a track record of over fifty battles with no loss. While she doesn't believe in the world being a cartoon, she does believe in the Spiritual as well, having dabbled in black magic and witchcraft. They soon discover the origins of Marcus Bradley, an individual who also knows about the cartoon world they live in, on top of the items that have stopped the Glitches from fully corrupting the multiverse they live in and merging with the real world. While there's talks of the seven gods in the reality that is John's (Spiritualism/Reality, World, Mind, Seas, Skies, Terrain and Flames, which bind the multiverses together, John still questions whether or not anything matters, since he's in a cartoon. Join John along with his friends Marley, Every, Ernesto, Carly, Venice and Gregory as the predecessors to the Gods to not only seal up Marcus and his glitches from overtaking all of reality, but to also help him discover his true potential and purpose in life. While the series is and will get extremely meta and existential (and to not spoil anything), hang on for the ride and sleuth through the RobotRichie channel and the website to see underlying messages and ciphers that may explain everything before the episodes roll out.
