RWBY General Discussion

And, for what it's worth, vanilla God Eater 2 released November 14, 2013. Ruby Rose premiered on July 5, 2013, made public on July 18th, 2013.

So God Eater 2 was still in late development by the time RWBY was airing

Ruby herself is already heavily inspired by Haseo due to Monty Oum's Tenure as a Bandai Namco animator, he probably took influence from that character for her scythe design.

Ruby's scythe and scythe skills looks nothing like Haseo's from what I can tell. Haseo's default scythe and Lost weapon scythe are much thinner than CR and he tends to sweep them horizontally to his body, while Ruby seems to prefer vertical overhead swings and holding it in front of her.

Ren's weapons though, are pretty much recolors of Xth Form Haseo's dual guns.

We need B-ST Ruby.

Friggin' magnetism, how does it work?

If it's like Magneto from X-men it can do anything so long as it has magnets in the word somehow.

Unless his opponent uses a wooden gun.

That's just because he forgot his super magnetic forcefield that works against stuff that isn't metallic.

I mean if it can deflect Cyclops's eye beams it can deflect wood bullets.

Question: A user by the name of ForTaxPurposes has removed all of the Seiyuu listings on the RWBY character pages. I'd prefer to avoid an Edit War over this, but what do we do about this?

This was the reason:

"Whether you consider RWBY anime or not, it was originally written and recorded in English. Why are we crediting foreign dub actors on this when we've never done so for any of the other English-speaking animation that got foreign dubbing?"

Obvious solution is to add Japanese V As (or any Foreign language VA) for anything and everything if you know who it is.

I mean they've got a minor point but it's mostly being done for the sake of being contrarian and/or because they want to get into RWBY is not really anime territory.

Alternatively you could say that the Japanese dub of RWBY was heavily promoted and therefore deserves the notability. Far more than say, the Japanese dub of Teen Titans or Spongebob was.

That tends to happen for dubs of Japanese stuff, so what's the difference if it happens the other way around?

No idea. But apparently it does matter to them.

Your second point is good, yeah. Dunno what we'd do about it though, 'cause I feel that it could possibly be seen as Edit Warring

Uhm

i don't know if you should change it back or not, but someone should PM the guy telling him that there's no reason not to credit them, especially since the RWBY thread already agreed that they should be listed

if he feels like editing it back or not letting down or whatever, notify the mods

Got to agree. Anime stuff usually gets both the original Japanese cast and the English language cast listed. Spanish and other languages too sometimes courtesy of our multi-lingual tropers. And given if was very distinctly "A Thing" in Team FNDM when RWBY was translated into Japanese I see know reason why the Japanese cast should be excluded.

There Is No Such Thing As Notability

If someone feels like add the credits for the voice actor in some other language, no one on this site has the right to stop them.

That's tvtropes supposed rule but you'd be surprised how often people get "Nah that's not important and just taking up space." and stuff gets deleted.

Ya wanna be as compact and as easily accessible as possible.

So here's a weird thought about Chibi. Will it forever be stuck in the vague pre season 3 Beacon time spot or will it move on as the plot advances? I know it's not canon, they've already broken the 4th wall to pieces, and they're probably never going back to school days again.

But what happens if in season say...8 when everyone is back together, season 1-2 are a distant memory and season 3's shocking swerves is stuff the fanbase has largely gotten over long ago, they have a new hub setting for main series downtime episodes, everyone has changes to their designs clothing weapons abilties, and there's 10 or so important and popular characters that have since been introduced that weren't around in the Beacon days?

Will Chibi still be using outdated character designs hanging around a setting that hasn't been relevant in years? Or will they update it along with the main show? The jokes alone will probably get stale if they can't factor in new stuff. The "hah Pyrrha's ok even though in the main show she's ashes" might be funny/shocking now, but it won't be once people have gotten used to her being gone.

It's clearly season 1 during. There'll probably be a divergence, they aren't exactly stuck at the school...new areas and characters will be acknowledged just the same.

K, I sent them a message. If they actually come here to discuss it, that's good (likely they won't though).

And on the RWBY Chibi thing: It's supposed to be a funny side series, so it's whatever they feel like having happen in it

Yeah is seasonless series, so it will move to whatever they feel like it.

Cinder and Salem will probably end up being in Chibi, but their big evil plot will probably be to steal all of Ozpin's hot chocolate supply. Which is stashed in the super-secret vault.

There's a reason they killed off Pyrrha.

Kill la kill, Dragonball, and Yu Yu Hakusho character pages does have the Japanese and English actors listed as well.

While I don't like the Japanese dub of RWBY and would rather ignore it into non-existence, there's no real stipulation that only the original voice actors have to be listed. That guy you're arguing with is wrong.

Yeah, every single anime out there has their original and English VA listed, at the very least, and that's not including several different dubs or even different languages.

Overwatch, for example, has Latin American actors listed too.

I got a response:

So someone can add the Japanese VA's back then
