Calling the show an anime seems to be the only legit one, from what I can tell. Maybe the LGBT thing, too.

Didn't Monty say he came up with the "RWBY" colors from his clothing and him being Asian for yellow? Gus pointed out that they're the same color as the Rooster Teeth logo, and he apparently never noticed that.

For what I see, aside of calling the show anime the rest is...meh.

At the moment it's looking like we should just keep the anime reference and the LGBT reference, and scrub the rest (including the Japanese dub reference). If anyone wants to pitch in here or on the discussion page, feel free, I'll leave it for a couple of days to give people time to respond.

The "referring to characters by their color instead of their name" thing does seem to be a Fandom Berserk Button on a few sites I've seen, but yeah.

That's a bit weird...it's totally fine if they're noobs to the series though. Because who knows better at that point?

Don't post edgy shit (writting or images). At first people will cry a lot, but they'll soon get sick as fuck, tell you to stop, and accuse you of having mental problems. Soon enough you'll be meeting Roman/Summer

what's weird is that a troper named Piando did just this (posting really edgy and creepy stuff) in the trash heap on YF, and then promptly got banned for it after people told him to knock it off and that he had issues.

this looks like a sockpuppet, considering the fact that these edits were made around the same time he was banned.

I'm 99% sure Monty wouldn't have mentioned Remnant being "around our level" of LGBT tolerance if nothing was intended to be done with LGBT stuff anyway

The whole "calling RWBY an anime" thing: I've actually seen the exact opposite reaction. RWBY fans don't mind or encourage RWBY being seen as an anime. Anime fans hate it being called anime with a passion.

Hell, the creators of RWBY call it an anime sometimes.

I have a feeling that with the popularity of Re Zero on crunchyroll, Rooster Teeth members that watch it will take inspiration on how much the main cast has to suffer.tongue

If the teaser trailer for Volume 4 is any indication, the animation has been bumped up tremendously.

Looks more and more like the Dot Hack GU Trilogy movie.

[up] (2)

Ehhh... they kind of make action scenes look really really good all the time.

We still never got the upgraded Yang boob physics Monty promised in Volume 3 and that is an injustice.

That aside, I actually miss the way Volume 1 looked. I got hyped when they showed the "upgraded Vale" in the Volume 2 docs, but the consistent, holographic nature just comes off lazy to me, makes the setting less interesting. Everything's a hologram because... Vale is just techy? But I thought Atlas was the tech capital of the world? Narratively this doesn't make sense to me either, unless I Hand Wave it with "Vale isn't the real world dur, they're higher up the tech tree so holograms make sense because Atlas is even tech-ier."

While the background characters were drawn as shadows probably to save on budget/time, I kind of understood that. They weren't characters we needed to pay attention to so it made sense to draw them as shadows. Now we have updated models but... most of these are tertiary characters. The budget becomes more noticeable when I see the same models used over and over. At least when they were shadows I could ignore them.

I'm also at odds with it because despite showing us other students at Beacon besides Team Chicken Dinner and Team Dry Pancakes, we still had Team RWBY wearing their streets, which defeats the purpose of showing the uniforms when RWBY only wears them in Season 1 and for maybe 3-4 episodes in Volume 2.

When Jaune was moping after Ruby ditched him in Episode 2/3, you immediately pick Pyrrha out of the crowd because she's the only non-silhouetted character in the crowd. In a show that's all about "colors" and "expressionism" being incurred upon by forces of darkness, the visual of everyone else being a shadow while the main characters are bright and vibrant worked for me (it also set up a joke in RWBY Chibi)

That said, I loved how Disney-esque everything looked at the start of Volume 3 and the fight scenes clearly improved, but the charm kind of wore off whenever Mercury and Qrow weren't on screen.

And while I loved this[down] fight scene, RWBY takes enough visual cues from Advent Children and Dead Fantasy as it is.

[up]The shadows reused the same models over and over again. Hell, during the scene where they first see Beacon on the ship the guy who points is literally a blacked-out Ren [lol]

Also, "upgraded Yang boob physics"? [lol]

Background characters being single color blobs or just shadows isn't a stylistic choice. So it didn't really add anything and it looks terrible in 3D.

At worst...blacking out reused models that are significantly far away would've been fine.

[up]I think you can get away with that as long as your series is built around a very stylised look where the shadow people serve a symbolic purpose. RWBY really didn't have that, so it wound up making it look cheaper.

A corpse should be left well enough alone...

Sure, but you knew they weren't important and they were easier to ignore. The contrast between the main characters always wearing their streets while everyone else wears their uniforms bugs me. On a campus where literally everybody who isn't a teacher or a guest is wearing their uniforms, I find it hard to believe they can just do that. Even Cardin wears his uniform. Even the undercover terrorists wore their uniforms.

Not even Dumbledore let his kids pull that crap until the 3rd or fourth year.
