Why are shit lords praise the show every season for improving animation quality, when it should have had such since the beginning.
Now all the seasons are disjointed and somewhat unbearable to watch back. I hope they remaster the entire show, not only animation but writing as well.
It's bad enough that the fight scenes are becoming progressively zipping flashes not impressive fighting anymore.
Owen James
that would require actual professionals
Jordan Myers
you're just a spoiled brat for not enjoying what you have.
Jaxson Sanders
cum
Hunter Johnson
It's improving?
Connor Mitchell
>It's bad enough that the fight scenes are becoming progressively zipping flashes not impressive fighting anymore. what are you talking about?
Jaxon Lopez
meh. I'm just happy to get a season 4
Jordan Gutierrez
The fact that I couldn't tell if that was fake or not, right away, is hilarious. Mother fucking Shadow the Hedgehog.
Elijah James
I'm here for Weiss.
Gabriel Parker
Autists with rose tinted glasses think so
Jayden Long
Why do they have to hide RTX shit?! It's bullshit
Thomas Powell
Seeing fan's supposed future designs of RWBY are cancer inducing.
Nathaniel Edwards
I will never like Blake's super-mullet.
Mullets and Catgirls DO NOT MIX.

Your gratitude to Monty Oum is noted you entitled millennial sack of crap
Samuel Rogers

Adam Baker
You do know that it's entirely possible to appreciate something while still calling out it's flaws, right? And that the animation flaws for the first two seasons were particularly glaring?
Asher Powell
After Monty passed away and Shane got fired it's more or less just professionals now. Hell, there are probably no computers with poser at RT anymore.
Oliver Lee
Any webms of how it's animated now?
Maybe even a webm of earlier animation?
Jason Morris
I watched that fucking show, it was literally all filler until the last 2 episodes of each season, and it was rushed garbage
Jackson Rogers
here is one more bear
Ian Barnes

Isaac Rogers
I like this Weiss over timeskip Weiss. She needs armor.
Christian Morris
Wouldn't that cut down on her mobility? She's a glass cannon/squishy mage, after all. She's better suited to dodging rather than tanking.
Elijah Russell
>2 arms >The future Wew...
Chase Martinez
>needs armor
Robert Taylor
I want to brutally make love to Weiss
The way she wants it
Juan Evans
give it time, senpai
Carter Hernandez
>How dare an experimental indie project not be perfect right from the get-go! Really bruh?
Jason Robinson
That is the exact fucking opposite of what rose tinted means, you dip.
Aaron Fisher
I know exactly how you feel, I wish to find Yang and decapitate her to show her just how much I love her
Jose Campbell
Armor seems kinda pointless in the setting when everyone has magic aura protection. The only guys you see with armor are the Atlas mooks, weak ass team CRDL, and Jaune who had no idea about aura.
Caleb Walker

Henry Fisher
Was this seriously deserving of a General?
Owen King
>ripping off Black Lagoon's version of this picture How low can one get?
>updated version has Neo taller than Yang Lower, apparently.
Brayden Butler
>ripping off Black Lagoon's version of this picture Lets be fair, everyone should be doing that.
Carter Martin
Cripple-Chans has had a continuous general since it began, user. It has nothing to do with "deserving."
Andrew Bennett
The idea, yeah. But he actually just straight up copied the poses. At least he bothered to not copy the outfits..
Jeremiah Sanchez
What?
Jose Smith
>It's bad enough that the fight scenes are becoming progressively zipping flashes not impressive fighting anymore. BUT MAN, WE GOTT A SHOW HOW FAST THEY'RE GOING, JUST LOOK
Adam Martin
Just about to say the same thing. Over the top edgy Shadow would improve the show by huge margin.
If only.
Carter Hughes
Monty was the real talent behind the jackie chan fights. Instead of the sweet parkour that makes kung fu movies awesome you'll be seeing flashes and power levels now.
Asher Howard
>Ruby can fly and control her rose petals >She can also do speed attacks with less build-up
How can any of the team compete. Flight is actually pretty OP in a setting where it's not the norm as seen in Avatar. >Also possibly a speed clone or some shit when her red blur split in two to dodge Like what if Ruby just gains speed while flying and then comes crashing down at intense speed.
Levi Cruz
>Weiss learns flight magic, already knows haste, literally a better more versatile Ruby except for the eyes.
Ryder Williams
Name one CG show that had perfect animation from the start.
Ian King
>How can any of the team compete. As long as Weiss' abilities remain as undefined as they are, she's easily n the same level
Justin Gray

Isaac Brooks
Weiss will probably end the series as the strongest fighter barring Ruby activating her eye hax.
Carson Williams
The whole show looks like shit. I'm not touching it at all when someone making that said 'This looks good.'
It doesn't. It's like that shitty cgi anime crap everyone hates, but with a weaboo twist.
Grayson Lopez
What the hell is this show about? Doesn't it belong in Sup Forums?
Daniel Martin
>tfw it's Blake that charged the moonslice that cut off Yang's arm >Runs away for almost a year and still hasn't taken responsibility. Worst girl ever
Angel Torres
It falls under western animation.
Jose Brooks
...
Oliver Campbell
I'm not a fan of western artists trying to imitate eastern artists. Seems kind of cheap.
So what's it about?
Ryan Young
Go watch it and figure it out yourself?
Luis Edwards
Japan disagrees apparently, it's been a huge hit over there
Luke Murphy
>Akihabara strip
Jordan Ortiz
A hardcore weeb living out his fantasy and constatly dicking over a show before his death. Then it improved.
That what's it about. Most people like it for waifus or see it as some kind of anomaly that is to be studied.
Jason Ortiz
No, there wouldn't be a point. I'd like to know what kind of story it is before I jump into it, if I do.
Well, it imitates the art style of anime, which Japan is already familiar up the ass with. Kind of expected them to like it based off just the art style.
They even have an ad in Times Square for this shit? It must be well liked for them to bother.
Alexander Howard
Eh, A lot of it was M&K hitting their groove finally rather than still trying to figure out how they want the show's tone to be and more animators.
Good on monty to see his FFVIII fanfiction as far as he did though.
Christopher Kelly
rose tinted = seeing what you want to see/seeing "it" better than "it" really is.
Ryder Lee
I really hated the fighting. Having a super-anime zippy flightly everyone-hits-a-dozen-times-a-second style is fine and good, but then you give that style to a character who is, according to the storyline, still a child? Even a "oh-she-has-such-POTENTIAL"-child?
How are you supposed to demonstrate improvement and growth when everyone starts the series (hell even in the trailers!) zipping around at the speed of sound and dispatching a dozen of the enemy at once. Even Naruto and Bleach who are the fucking kings of bullshit powers knew you started small and built up.
You're meant to be Goku-strong at the END of the series, not the beginning. I gave up at the end of season two when the big threat was used to make an AMV and dispatched painlessly to demonstrate the four new op characters.
Jose Morgan
They're not a child though. They're already adults and they've been training for years.
In your analogy, they're just knocking over yamcha's, yamcha's everywhere. Breach aside, the stronger stuff is still a threat and that wil lbe modified by the numbers, their stamina and resources such as dust and remaining aura.
Juan Martinez
I mean sure, give the guy his due. Monty fucking went for it and accomplished something.
But having had a look at all the stuff Monty did durin production, all the extra crap he added out of the blue, it's no wonder the show improved when he kicked the bucket.
Also, having talked to some people they view RWBY's sucess as kinda mysterious. It wasn't on a lot of people radar (unless they were RT fans) then it just comes out of nowhere.
Kevin Jones
I once saw a criticism of the show that so long as you didn't see the character's standing on "surfaces," it's passable.
I see that still hasn't changed. Stilted AF animation- you mean they haven't gotten enough revenue for an actual animation team?
Jonathan Russell
It's RT. They'll never have a budget.
Not till some big producer picks it up.
Kevin Thompson
Money's work was kind of a cult thing. Some RWBY fans will be poser purists and stick with volumes 1 to 3 like they are the RWBY purist bible. I like Maya and have enjoyed the volume 4 preview but Monty had this certain style, you know?
Aaron White
I swear I was flipping through Netflix one evening and saw RWBY as a listing-- that's the first company I'd think would bite.
Jack Sanders
That's not Times Square you ape
David James
Lets all be thankful for the updated designs. And hope we get JNR shots next time.
RWBY was on Netflix but they'd want some control over the show. RT will not give that up.
Anthony Sanders
Define "huge hit."
The anime aesthetic is just the norm in Japan, nobody likes a show just because it has it. Least of all when it's a poorly done imitation.
Christopher Evans
I hope that they'll learn how to make fights not look like a PS4 game and be able to achieve 60FPS without Monty. Otherwise there wouldn't be point to remaster first seasons in worse framerate.

>Hypersonic tackle. >Ever an accident.
All that matters is Pyrrha suffers.
Matthew Williams
The most hilarious thing about the Season 3 finale is that Pyrrha is out of the picture and Ruby's friends are all shits now so she hangs out with the better side characters and Jaune anyway. In one fell swoop, got rid of all the other Ruby ships and teamed her up with Jaune. Amazing.
James Edwards
Is he a Boom Shadow?
Brandon Campbell
However user. Timeskip.
No idea who is where right now. I hope Jaune isn't a complete scrub anymore.
Luis Jenkins
If I thought the first season was fairly okay (if dumb and unpolished), and the first episode of season 2 was so fucking awful that I dropped the show, is it worth it to power through s2 and get to s3? I hear s3 is "a lot better".
Henry Gray
I didn't think the first episode of season 2 was that bad, it's leagues better than the finale.
But yes, season 3 is much better, if you make it through the bad times
Grayson Martinez
>Hope they remaster the entire show I can't agree more. >Not only animation but writing as well. The amount of work that'd require... It'd have to be a whole new show. I also can't agree more, cause I can't imagine the creator of the show is too happy with it's current state.
Austin Lee
I know s1 wasn't the most serious thing, but opening up your season with a food fight and introducing a shitton of new characters when you've barely developed the old ones (thanks Jaune) was just overkill for me.
Isaac Cook
>Ruby looks like she's lost an eye >Yang has both her arms
Funny how it at least predicted ONE of the siblings would lose a body part.
Christian Ward
A huge hit in japan can be anything. They routinely lose their shit over cats with human sized eyes.
Henry Roberts
>when it should have had such since the beginning.
You do know their budget in the begining consisted of what they could find between the couch cushions right?
Jordan Carter
I know what the alleged huge hit in question is, I'm asking how it has been a huge hit.
Kevin Russell
The problem there is the plot only shows up at the middle and end of Season 3. Which is pretty fucking ridiculous. The only thing happening in Seasons 1 and 2 is the criminals shitting around then letting some Grimm into the city. Which didn't need two whole seasons to set up that, yes, they're doing something mysterious beyond just being criminals. All of this really only accomplishes setting up the situation of Season 3 anyway. Before then Season's 1 and 2 should've been more heavily condensed into one season, and maybe even sped up Season 3 a bit.
The fundamental problem is the show is caught between action set pieces and trying to do character and plot development, and it's pretty much only doing that one character or relationship at a time. This resulted in 2 seasons of decompressed set up and then everything happening in Season 3. I can't exactly recall my thoughts on it now, but I was struck by how unconnected all of the development and plot was. It frequently felt like characters, and the story, were put on hold so other people could do their own thing without anyone tripping over each others feet. More tightly working everything together here would've given the show overall more time to work with, especially to condense Seasons 1 and 2.
And, honestly, the characters are barely interesting to begin with. The side characters often seem more interesting, because their cliches aren't given a chance to stink up the main story with entry level melodrama retardation (except Jaune and Pyrrha's thing). I was astounded when I realized the last two seasons of RvB were written by one of the writers of RWBY, because it was a tier above. It actually managed to give me unironic enjoyment of the characters and story. Perhaps because it had years and years of previous set up to build on, but maybe also because RWBY is aiming for anime schlock and forgot it needs to be interesting on its own merits beyond relying on the schlock.
Levi Foster
Dubbed into Japanese.
Ryan Kelly
>yfw we finally learn more about the color war or finally get some hot color nazi action
Tyler Flores
That doesn't qualify it as a huge hit.
Grayson Morales
I'd post a reaction, but we all know that isn't happening. We'll be lucky if we get anything more than vague references to what happened during the time skip of last season to now.
James Brooks
>Papa Schnee is a color nazi sympathizer
Gabriel Watson
It's Monty's favourite anime's combined into one show
It's pretty shit
Joseph Williams
It's basically anime for people who hate anime or have never watched an anime in their life
Jeremiah Collins
It means they're spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on people who talk gud because it'll make bank when it's released.
Hudson Harris
first off, Vol's 1 and 2 were supposed to be 1 volume. RT being shit resulted in the split. And the plot in general was necessary cause Monty needed to set up his final fantasy everything was a somewhat normal life and then the jews arrived intro.
Julian Young
>Before then Season's 1 and 2 should've been more heavily condensed into one season, and maybe even sped up Season 3 a bit. Fun fact: The entire plot of the show as it's happened now was originally supposed to be one volume, but minimal budget and production difficulties kept pushing things further and further back
Levi Hughes
Fun fact. M&K only found out about Neo 4 days before the episode was supposed to be finished
Wyatt Flores
No, Vol 2 just ended and we were supposed to be going into vol 3 which was the end of the rwby introduction of Season One.
Nicholas Cook
A lot of things are dubbed in Japan, like in any other country where foreign media gets dubbed. Voice actors aren't that expensive, and even fan anime can afford A-list talent.
ANN mentions RWBY once on its Blu-ray sales rankings. The first season sold 5,305 copies. 3,000 is commonly considered the minimum for success. I don't know how RWBY is priced so I don't know how much money it really made.
Jordan Richardson
You can also buy it on steam... because you know... you could stream it online for free... or buy it on steam... because... reasons.
