This looks like a fake anime they'd show in a Law & Order SVU episode about an anime obsessed murderer.

Mary Cagle (she does the Sleepless Domain webcomic) has a podcast called Anime Slushie and she's spent a few episodes on RWBY and how many bad decisions happen in it.

There's a corgi in RWBY named Zwei and it makes me unreasonably irritated.

It feels redundant to look at all the derivative drivel that comes out of the Anime industry and decide you, as a Westerner, to replicate all of it's excesses but with a lower budget. It's incredibly easy to shitpost a cliched fake anime which inevitably is close to a real show. A schoolgirl superhero... talking cat... dead mother, absent father... aloof rival with lesbian undertones... childish friend with high-pitched voice... mischevious identical twins... hot springs... giant robot... hot nun... maybe chuck in a gender-flip bodyswap in there somewhere.

I kinda liked the start of RWBY based on it being kinda interesting as a weird semi-amateur take on a web cartoon and just generally kind of dumb fun, but it just, never does anything interesting or really, like, good with what it starts with so while it was kinda fun for a few eps it runs out that goodwill then goes on to be a still ongoing serial. Having ducked in occasionally to see what's happened it handles every plot thread and character with complete incompetence. It's not so much wasted potential as, like, wasted premises cause outside of the fight direction and some of the character designs I'm not sure there was potential to start with.

Yea....it's here'. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Unless their culture has shifted in the past decade, 4Chan hates anyone who cares about something, so OAG would fit that exactly. It’s like a community fueled by South Park political apathy.

Honestly I'm pretty glad that RWBY didn't like, really pop in japan "enough" and stayed to it's own things, because if I remember right one of the gripes a bunch of the japanese audience or distributing bits had earlier was that they wouldn't make poo poo like beach episodes and similar and that they didn't like it almost as soon as it stopped being about the girls in hunter school and everything started to really pick up on an overarching story. Also the early bad bits of animation in RWBY are more endearing than anything, it was basically just Monty further learning poser so he could make fun, crazy fight scenes, watching the animation steadily get a lot better is cool and plus it's always had the benefit of legit great music on account of Jeff and Casey Williams. Stuff like this is maximum knowingly cheesy awesome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o_LmTfARno https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wwohhs3LvRQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euuxPokAeIA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9mQTmXxU8E Unlucky7 posted:I apologize.

Old Swerdlow posted:Not knowing what RWBY is, how is it worse than most anime which is already garbage? as far as the writing... it's really not. i'd say the writing is about on par with, say, late Bleach or the lower points of Naruto/DBZ. it's extremely generic and bland and boring shonen punchman poo poo, as far as I can reckon, and while that's a huge problem, it's a problem that it does share with a lot of anime. what makes RWBY unique is the animation. it looks absolutely bugfuck terrible. it's probably the best thing that will ever be animated with Poser, but it was still made in fuckin' Poser, because Monty Oum, while talented in the field, was batshit crazy. and even when they switched to Maya after his passing... it didn't improve at all, it looks exactly the same as it did in Poser. hell, it might actually look worse now, depending on how you figure it. it is a show that could be some fun watchable trash, except for the fact that it is actively painful for me to look at for longer than maybe a minute.

They ruin everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpjUF9RwdKA The RT people were conspicuously silent about BLM until she started dragging on the company, while Funhaus (and Bruce Greene and Lawrence Sonntag) were pretty quick to start signal boosting organisations that support the protests, while donating what they could spare themselves.

I use to be a huge Red VS Blue fan until it stopped being funny and started taking itself way too seriously and RT started to doing some shameless shilling like when they attacked a critic for the crime of giving fallout 4 like an 8 out of 10 WHILE THEY WERE WEARING PIPBOYS AND FALLOUT MERCH. Like jeezus that pissed me off so bad. Fallout 4 sucks poo poo imo and should have gotten a 2 out of 10 but these shills attack a reviewer for ONLY giving it an 8 while they're shilling Bethesda products. Like they were straight out of the "Do not critic product, just consume product" meme. Now there's all this stuff with Caboose being a chud and how they treated Mica Burton. gently caress Rooster Teeth Also, Arby and the Chief is way better than RVB
