Gen Urobuchi produces the best badguys so she would probably really cool.

Like Shougo Makishima, Dj Sagera and Ryoma Sengoku and Kueby are all iconic.

I AWAKEN.

I promise I didn't die, I'm simply been busy and waiting for new stuff to drop.

Which on the one hand, holy shit what an amazing lineup of staff in terms of their previous works. And something that seems to be Weiss-centric, I'm definitely agreeing with the thought of it being some kind of alternate universe. Which are always cool to play with, even if I can already feel the rumbling of anime dudebros using it to shit on the main series.

On the other hand, Arryn tweeted about "needing some time to process things" because of someone involved in the anime having a history of domestic violence. (Tow Ubukata, most likely.)

@Wyld

With the title 'Queendom' I am personally A bit more confident in my theory its an AU where Mantle and Mistral won the war / The schnees mixed with the Royal family, as the title makes it seem like She will be running the Kingdom somehow

I do wonder if this is the case shall there names be different? Given the colour rule would not be in affect

[up][up] I really look foward to what these people will do with a series like RWBY

In case you wanted more Volume 3 in your RWBY... or I guess Volume 7 is the new benchmark for    darkness   .

Welcome back Awakened Harostar!

[up][up] Yes, if Mantle and Mistral won the war, colour naming wouldn't be a thing. Neither would the eye-popping colour diversity of the current show.

I'm not familiar with the names of the people involved, so I'll just have to wait and see. I haven't followed any new anime or manga in the past couple of years, so I'm out of the loop on what's current right now.

So we have images of both RWBY and JNPR in new outfits which look very nice. Ozpin is there too but it’s merely his regular look.

I think Ruby lives in Solitas in this version, as her clothes seem more designed for a Snowy setting

And Blake has a tail

She seems to be the only One dressed for a Snowy setting given Weiss is in Leggings and high heels

I for one welcome our new Evil Overlord Ice Queen.

Given the Fairy Tale motifs in the series, I guess this take on Weiss is based on The Snow Queen.

Given Ozpin has his regular attire I'm just assuming this is a story where the RWBY and JNPR team's are Beacon students who have to go somewhere cold and switch out to winter gear. Hence why Jaune just has a beanie and scarf as his winter clothes.

Costume opinions:

  • Ruby's winter attire is oddly non-fantastic. Like this is like taking an actual outfit and having Ruby wear it.
  • Weiss is literally just Esdeath now. Obvious thing of interest what the whole anime will be about considering the title.
  • So does Blake have some kind of half-ribbon on her? Definitely an interesting costume, just not sure how well it fits Blake specifically.
  • The Weiss comparison looks weird since her costume looks more like it is based on Volume 4 onward appearance rather than Volume 1-3 costume.
  • Jaune, my man, my boy, get some money and buy some actual clothes.
  • Nora's costume really is Nora's winter outfit.
  • Pyrrha!?! You are here???
  • Ren is Ren but winter.

Okay, seriously, why is Pyrrha's outfit just a Palette Swap of Weiss' concert dress from Volume 4? It's not like the other winter outfits are just palette swaps! What, did the Nikos family become the leading Dust suppliers in this timeline? Did Pyrrha get adopted into the Schnee family?

Most dresses aren’t unique, one of a kind custom designs. Weiss’ dress is likely a common if expensive product. He’ll Weiss wearing it could just be a sponsorship deal Jacques made, “oh if you sponsor this event then my daughter will wear your newest design on stage.”

I just find it funny that everyone got a cool winter redesign....except Jaune.

His perpetual status as the other guy is really being driven home here.

Blake looks slightly BDSM themed

With the new outfits I am even more curious as to what the plot or what this AU will be, Maybe it wont be a point of divergence thing at all and shall instead be more of an Ultimate Universe

I mean slavery is legal in Atlas according to the comics.

Why isn't Atlas considered the most racist kingdom again?

I mean you had Willow Schnee transporting her new slave workers only to be stopped by Weiss.

....Willow is supposed to be the sympathetic neglectful parent.

Just saying even in Roman's Holiday Lil' Miss Malichete was never shown to be a slave trader and she's a villain.

https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2229049/photo/1/

I haven't read anyone else's posts yet, but these my thoughts on seeing the outfits:

  • Ozpin: Someone dumped Ishida Ryuuken into Ozpin's clothes. He'll survive, Ozpin wears crosses, too.
  • Ruby: Flat "What"
  • Weiss: Hat and sunglasses are ridiculous. There's a bit of Willow inspiration in the design. Overall, she looks good, so does her inverted bob.
  • Blake: Massive improvement on her original (terrible) outfit. Not a fan of the gloves or boot muffs. Not a fan of the tail or claws.
  • Yang: Massive improvement on her original outfit. Not a fan of the metal plates or boot muffs. Big fan of the rest. Like the ponytail (even if the symbolism is wrong).
  • Jaune: They didn't even hide the lack of effort. I don't like the hate and gloves, but can ignore them if I must. A scarf on armour looks daft, however.
  • Nora: Not a fan of bows; there's a little V4 inspiration in the design. Simplicity appeals to me — it's extraordinary for me to like anything pink though.
  • Pyrrha: That's Weiss's V4 gown and shows, with elements of Weiss's V7 outfit. Nice, but not very creative, and her hair is awful.
  • Ren: Did Ren turn into Victorian Father Christmas when I wasn't looking? He looks very encumbered and weighed-down by that design.

So, best and worst:

  • Best: Yang (RWBY), Nora (JNPR); Overall: Yang
  • Worst: Ruby (RWBY), Jaune (JNPR); Overall: Ruby

Blake looks slightly BDSM themed

That's probably because her original outfit is entirely BDSM themed. I could never quite work out if Blake's outfit was meant to be a Hollywood-esque impression of a prostitute or dominatrix, and eventually concluded that it was a Hollywood-esque impression of a dominatrix prostitute.

So, if anything, Queendom has toned it down. In fairness, while Blake's original outfit is high on the list of bad outfits, it's not the worst one we've seen. Yang's Hunter outfit managed to take the concept and make it even worse. Meanwhile, there is absolutely no design in the entire eight volumes of the show to date that is anywhere near as bad as Ruby's Slayer outfit.

I mean slavery is legal in Atlas according to the comics.

Why isn't Atlas considered the most racist kingdom again?

Well, I can't speak for the comics, but slavery is not legal in the main show. Atlas seems to use adoption as a loophole, however, which is what Madame did to Cinder.

That said, in the main show, it's pretty clear that Atlas is the most racist kingdom, followed by Mistral, then Vale, then Vacuo.

Oh cool, a RWBY anime from a legit anime studio! And the director is the same one from Rinne no Lagrange? That's a name I haven't heard in forever! There's nothing that could go wrong with this!

(*reads ANN article saying Blake's English VA feels uncomfortable about Tow Ubukata which he responded to himself*)

(*finds out immediately that Ubukata has a history of domestic abuse with his ex-wife*)

...Oh. sad
