From the people who brought you Red vs Blue - Rooster Teeth.

Anyone seen this web series? I've just finished. It is not bad. I won't say its amazing, because the animation is lacking and the characters are a little flat. But this is understandable for the beginning of a series. The plot is pretty sick and the setting (and world) has much potential.

How I would describe - 3D Anime or more truthfully Video Game cutscenes - definitely many characteristics of anime and probably quite a bit of influence - but a nice American perspective

The action scenes though are really good - love the fighting
But one thing that the series really has going for it is the music - dang that sound track blows me away - can't say how many times I've listened to it. I am so amazed by how young the singer is.

What I have to say: season two looks very promising with the prospect of new character models making for much more fluid and drastic animation - I hope this plays into the action scenes as well

If you watched the show, why not start off with who's your favorite character Big Grin

I watched several seasons of Red vs. Blue, and my friend is addicted to their podcasts, but I dunno. Never heard of this one and honestly I'm not too motivated to check their stuff out anymore.

Pennies string manipulation (at least that's what I call it) is pretty sweet! I knew that she would be some powerful character. Would have thrown me off guard if she was weak lol

I figured she'd be strong when she said shed be entering the tournament, but I didn't think that would be revealed until then.

Yea that was a nice introduction to her abilities. I bet she was holding back though, and we're going to see an even epicer skill set during the tourny!

Anyway who's your favorite character?
I'm going with Sun for mine. He was the most interesting character shown during the first season. hehe
In terms of fighting though Weise is my favorite - magic? sword play? boo ya! Although Ruby's sickleing (made up word?) is awesomeness! And Yang from her trailer is really kick-butt!

Blake really works well in teams though I will have to say. Her and Sun's fight sequence was really sweet. The swapping was really fluid.


I'm glad I saw the trailers afterword though, they contained a lot of foreshadowing, which I would have completely missed if I saw them first. Plus watching the fight scenes in the show compared to the trailers would have been a let down. 

I'm still waiting for some biking action from Yang in the show though XD

It's just sickle wielding XD

In terms of fighting, it's Roman who's actually my favourite- his cane fighting is awesome.

Overall, my favourite character selection is a tie between Pyrrha Nikos, Ruby and Jaune.

Well, it's the grim reaper; all the grim reaper does is go after someone who's time has come- I don't think that's much combat practice Tongue

Yang's gauntlets and Wiese's sword! Actually tbh her's is too light of a sword for me, I would take the base concept and apply it to either a broadsword or longsword. Or maybe a katana - that might do.
Phyrrha's semblance to manipulate polls. Wink LOL Yea, that would be epic. heheheheheh

Lol, polls- imagine all the shenanigans you could get into on election day XDPyrrha's semblance is actually magnetism, they probably thought saying magnetism outright would sound like a magneto rip off.

Weiss' sword fits her style- it's a rapier of sorts fit for fencing. You can't fence with a broadsword or a longsword and a katana's equivalent of fencing is kenjutsu in that it's an art of the sword, not an outright equivalent..

Yea, I know - that's the point hehe

I never said I would be handling it like her though. Just a dust manipulation sword.

The base concept behind the sword is her fighting skill- the dust manipulation just compliments it. Most weapons in RWBY involve the use of dust anyway.

Outdone :O All my arguments have been knocked down on this thread lol

Have you listened to the OST? Because I'm curious about what your opinion of "Red Like Roses II" and "I May Fall"

I just love the soundtrack, it adds much depth to the show. Jeff Williams is amazing. I gotta give the production team credit for using the soundtrack to reveal aspects of the characters its really awesome. Its beyond just being mere theme music imo

I tell myself that the songs aren't real (to the best of my knowledge) being about fictional characters, but they really touch my emotions like few songs do. If it weren't for the soundtrack I wouldn't be attached to the characters.

Haha, I gotta stop, I keep ranting on about this.

Then we were like "fairy tail"
Pyrrha - Erza
Weise - Mirajane
