RWBY

Post by Flare »

So, if anyone's looked at the "random video" thing, one will see a few trailers for a series called "RWBY" by Rooster Teeth, the folks who brought you Red vs. Blue. Well, the first episode has finally released to the public. I'll try to avoid spoilers for the most part.

1: AWESOME music.
2: A pretty kicking intro.
3: Ruby is adorable.
4: Has some interesting foreshadowing going on.
5: Finally, seems to have a bit of a Final Fantasy 8 vibe going for it, but in the good way.

Never heard of either of those, but I'll check it out in the Random Vids thread (missed it while I was away). I really liked FF8 too.

Wow, that was pretty good! Although I'm not really sure exactly whats going on yet. Dust power, grim army, Ruby Rose the Scyther, fighting academy, etc. Reminds me of Soul Eater. Great fight scenes, voices and animations though. ^^ Liking the ending theme as well.

That's the opening theme. And it WAS the first episode there, not a lot of plot gets revealed in the first few episodes of most story-based series I notice.

Ah okay I misread it and thought you said this was continued from something else. And yep, I agree that a series based show can't have an epic plot in 12 minutes. ^_^

So I watched episodes one & two, and I must say that this is awesome. It's very anime-esque (Which isn't a bad thing) and it caught my attention enough, so I'm waiting on the next episode by this point.

Well, yeah. While planning it out, Monty's crew was actually assigned animes to watch.

Here, if you want to hear more about what went on behind the scenes...

I really hope Monty handles this better than Dead Fantasy. That story was getting ridiculous for a series that was originally just about cool fighting.

Well, 8 episodes in... and I think it's starting to find it's footing. And you can tell what kind of episode it'll be by it's length: If it's shorter, it can be a little more comedic, longer ones will be the more action-oriented ones.

Season 2 starts tomarrow! *Squees!*

And for those who weren't aware... there are also bunnygirls, catgirls, and a monkey-boy in the series so far... and maybe an android-girl.

I hope he finds peace in the afterlife and may his family and friends brave this hardship. Personally, I'll miss the guy.
