RWBY

[Kratosirving]

Well Vic's been gone from the show since the Broly movie premiere and what happened shortly thereafter. RT cut him loose almost immediately to get out in front of any PR mess, which I still maintain they should have waited but the move was fully justified given the situation that was developing.

Vol. 7 was probably the best overall, even better than 3 which is a bit of a surprise. Sure there were some things in the last three episodes that I wasn't a fan of - the epic fail in logic of trying to fight in a flying ship for one - but there were a lot more positives than negatives. I guess the big question I have for next volume is how long will they stay in Atlas for it? Will it be a short arc to try and defend it and fail/succeed? Or is it something that will span the length of the volume and than set the stage to move forward toward Vol. 9?

Lastly, have to admit I wasn't a fan of Jaune's new hairstyle either when I first saw it - than realized I didn't think about it once while I was watching the series this season. Guess it's not that big of a deal after all. :|

Volume 4 and 5 (which everyone hated) are still my favorites. In fact, this one is one of the ones I dislike the most. Too much story and asspulls for me. Miles thinks he's Tite Kubo.

[Kratosirving]

timely reviving as vol. 8 premiers tomorrow. Honestly though, my interest in the series has fallen off just as RT seems to as a whole. Feels a lot like how I was feeling after I lost faith in Blizzard after Warcraft 3 Reforged. :|

[Mattias]

Oh it's back? I wonder if it's even going to be on Crunchyroll anymore, or back to a week delay.

[Kratosirving]

dunno about crunchy, all I know is it won't be on YT - or at least not officially. Have to wonder if the stance on Reaction vids have changed going forward. I get the feeling that news is out there somewhere, but I don't care enough to go looking for it. Plus the election is more engrossing atm anyhow, the hell do I need this show when I'm so entertained as it is?

[Strange_One]

Hm. perhaps even with your lack of interest you're closer to the news than I.

Are there any old Rooster Teeth people left there?

[Kratosirving]

From what I remember Geoff is still there, just more of a mentor role to keep AH going forward; Gus and Matt are still there from what I know, but Bernie's departure kind of signaled that the RT that everyone came to know and love isn't really there anymore, or at least that's what it signaled to me.

[Strange_One]

Well. May as well be official with him gone.

RWBY may end up as one of those things I might read up on later to see what places it's gone.

[Mattias]

Ohhhhhh... Ace-Ops. Aesops. I wish I could say I didn't know how I could miss it, but they're so uninteresting I never gave them a second thought outside of Clover having a the stupidest weapon so far and being yaoi bait for Qrow.

[Solomos]

It’s quite amazing how much time is wasted on Cinder when she loses nearly every fight she’s involved with.

[Mattias]

And Cinder's backstory is filled with even more failure. Has she won once outside of Pyrrha? Even that one has big airquotes around won, since she came out of it without an arm and eye. I'm honestly surprised though, from what we saw I would have expected her to shank her 'Mother' in the back with a knife after a few torture sessions, not wait years to snap.

Haven't really been following Rwby since Vol 3 but this might be worth checking out.

It looks nice. I don't have faith in that studio to make good fights though.

[Mattias]

That's a bunch of season 1 in there.

Is it even still RWBY without the buttrock?

[pinetree]

Character designs look really bad...

Also their guns are shooting lasers? Lame.
Gun-weapons were half the reason I was interested in seeing anything RWBY so I guess I'm out.

[bassgs435]

The character deisgns look great IMO. But i've always loved Huke's art, so I'm biased. Still, hard for it to be worse than the OG show writing or looks-wise. Please, no one tell me they prefer the CG look, regardless of circumstances.

[Draconic]

It looks nice. I don't have faith in that studio to make good fights though.

Yeah, I've only seen a few episodes of monogatari and Last Encore, and there's great atmosphere, but the fights were wooden.
Still, it looks very nice.

My biggest concern is that Gen Urobuchi is the writer, and as good as his track record, the last thing I saw by him was Godzilla vs. the Space Noodle Godzilla: The Eater of Stars, and that entire movie was an hour long sermon on the super-hyper-mega-orgasmic joys of mindshattering, brain-exploding, psychosis-inducing terror, immediately followed by annihilation both physical and metaphysical. In which Ghidora was a space noodle who bites Godzilla and then they stand still for an hour while Johnny Yong Bosch gives the aforementioned sermon in his 'sexy' voice. Part of me died watching that movie. It died several times. But I was invested. But I'm getting off topic.

Since this is Urobucher, Yang prolly won't lose her arm, Adam'll just decapitate her and violate her corpse. Pyrrha will still die, but not before Cinder finds Jaune and forces Pyrrha to watch as she murders him. Or maybe she'll somehow force Pyrrha to kill Jaune herself. And then the narrative will demonstrate that Pyrrha's death counted for nothing.

Qrow's gonna die. If Weiss doesn't turn to the Dark Side, she's gonna die. Roman's death will mindbreak Neo. Nora's so bubbly and cheery that if nobody literally threatens to break Urobuchi's hands, she's going to get raped and murdered while Ren is forced to watch.

I'm assuming that it'll be at least as horrifying as the darkest parts of Fate/Zero. Except much more so because Urobuchi now has felt what it's like to exterminate all of humanity, so, just for example, I'm pretty sure that if he were to rewrite Kayneth's death, it would be twice as brutal. Thus these are all hypotheticals, and it'll probably be far darker than anything I came up with here.

[Petrikow]

Urobuchi is not the writer.

He's credited for 原案 which is more like "drafter". His involvement is not as large as his name is.
