He apparently planned 20.

And each volume consists of a season.

So... Yeah, Monty has shit covered.

It's still jumping the gun to assume he wanted it to go full Madoka. Seriously, did Monty EVER work on something that dark like the Madoka creator?

[up][up] 20 was more of a "in case they decide they're going to keep the show around that long" idea; 12 was more in line with how long Monty expected the story to last.

[up] I'm not concluding it's going to stay this way, just saying that if they do, it won't be long before it's on par with GOT.

I really doubt this series will last for 20 seasons, when Red vs Blue, their flagship series, only lasted for 13.

Red vs. Blue is still going on, though.

Also people need to take the "Five Volumes" thing in it's full context. That's not how many Monty had planned, that's how many he had fleshed out and outlined with the other creators. As per the livestream he had more ideas further out past that but they weren't in the outline phase.

OK then, I will concede to that. I still refuse to believe we'll end up getting to incredibly nihilistic levels of dark.

As far as I know, there hasn't been any previews of Season 14 at all since the last episode back in October.

They're making more. I know that because it says so on the tropes page.

They could make spin offs considering the already large cast, granted that would implies there is something left at the end

They are making a season 14 of Red vs Blue in 2017, this year is just an anthology. But they are definitely working on it.

You know, I'm still surprised that despite Ren being voiced by the creator of the show himself, he still faded into the background as much as he did.

[up] [up][up] Okay then.

[up] Wait, an anthology?

From what I heard, Monty planned out Pv P from day one. So yeah, he did intend on the show to get dark.

Also, he did Dead Fantasy, which by the fifth episode shows you he wasn't intending to have wacky high school hijinx for the ENTIRE show.

[up] He was never supposed to stand out, precisely because giving him too much focus could be problematic due to him being a Creator Cameo. Now that he's not, they might be more comfortable about giving Ren some focus. Of the main cast, Ren and Nora were by far the least developed.

Something occurs to me: Pyrrha was from Haven/Mistral originally, right? It would be such a gut punch for RNJR to meet Pyrrha's family there, and have to be the bearers of bad news.

[up] I'm calling it right now, the father will say how much Pyrrha loved Jaune a la that scene in Attack on Titan.

[up][up] Oh Jesus Christ, I don't know if I could take that. AOT was aboslutely superb about making people give a shit about the deaths of Red Shirts, and this is a person with actual, significant development.

[up] Haven is the academy of Mistral though.

My point is did Monty ever make something on par with Madoka in terms of dark? Because some of you want it to get to Madoka or ASOIAF dark, and it's terrifying me to think of RWBY getting that dark.

[up][up] That's Patch. The arrangement seems to be Beacon—> Vale, Haven —> Mistral, Atlas —> Mantle (though Atlas now refers to the entire kingdom), and I have no idea —> Vaccuo.

[up] Not really, at least not in a creative capacity, he did a fair amount of freelance animation work. Some of his tweets indicate he was a fan of Madoka's director (Gen Urobuchi) though.

[up] A fan of in the sense that he was a fan of a lot of anime and their creators, which is made pretty evident by taking one look at RWBY. There was some super sugary stuff on the "list" alongside the uber grimdark stuff IIRC.

Well shit, I'm overreacting than. It's just a bit jarring that the show is changing so fast. I like the darkness that is being added, but it's still taking some getting used to.

It has been confirmed that the series will return for a fourteenth season, but the season will consist mostly of vignetted 'story story' arcs, lasting a few episodes each, rather than directly continuing Season 13's story.

What's going on with Red vs Blue right now. So there will be more seasons of it, which bodes well for RWBY being a long-running show.

[up] RVB's production mythos is drastically different from RWBY's however; RWBY had a defined end point from the very beginning, RVB started out as derpy youtube machinima. While Monty might have come up with something to do with the show after that point, with him gone, I doubt they'll be willing to make the sort of drastic changes that might be necessary to make additional seasons of RWBY.

So yeah, I'm totally expecting to see a middle aged couple in Haven with bright red hair. I wonder how that would go.
