RWBY
So my girlfriend got me to watch the first trailer for this a while ago, and I've watched the other three since then. RoosterTeeth/Monty Oum may be on to something here...
Red Trailer White Trailer Black Trailer Yellow Trailer Watch the trailers (best watched in order), find yourselves in awe, then discuss below~ I'd think at least one other person has seen these already, but I could be wrong...

I'm glad it's not a macromedia flash series, I am so sick of ugly-arse macromedia flash. It looks a lot better even if it's technically inferior.
I'm only on the second video but I guess these are fairy tales? Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White?

Okay.
Yeah that didn't happen. Quote:
Spoiler: show I could probably look these things up, but given your apparent passion for the project, I'll go ahead and field the questions to you, Gemini Spark: How long has this been in the works? What does the creative team behind this hope to accomplish? What is their primary goal? Assuming an episode format, how long will the average episode be? And how frequently are new episodes planned to come out? (Have most/all of them already been animated and they will be reliably released once weekly? Or is this going to be one of those fan projects where "It's done when it's done! " and they'll haphazardly release episodes in 3-to-12-month intervals?)

I had no idea it was American until the third trailer where I heard English. It struck me as an MMD series and I was genuinely un-prepared when discovering that the channel wasn't a Japanese-English one. That said, if it's OEL it should probably be moved, but the lack of dialogue (like Tom and Jerry, considered "anime" in Japan because it's without dialogue) was justification enough to leave it here.
The theme to the second video is "Mirror, Mirror" so I'd bank on there being some fairy tale influence.

Well, watched it, was amazed. Looks like something out of a video game.
Something I noticed is that different people had different favorites among them. Personally my favorite was probably White, how about everyone else? Also, going with the Fairy Tale idea... Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, and Cinderella? |

The only thing I have to complain about when it comes to RWBY is the voice acting. Rooster Teeth has done 10 years of Red vs. Blue and now they seem to be telling us they only have one single good female voice actor, who wasn't included in this project for some reason?
My favorite is still Red. And I pray to god that wasn't Red's actual VA at the end of the Yellow trailer!

Monty Oum's same old same old. If you've ever seen Haloid or Dead Fantasy, it isn't that impressive. BTW, the exact same gun sound effect for all of them.
I do like that he's now using more unique models and not so many ripped from various other games. And he's definitely refined his work since Haloid. |

A lot of videos take songs from other languages and overlay them over Japanese animation. It was a clue, but not one I'd trust with certainty.

I get you might not know the name Monty Oum or Rooster Teeth (which are big American YT names), but saying it's Japanese just because the characters have anime eyes stopped counting after 2003.

I normally don't watch anime, but because it's a product of one of the guys who work for Roosterteeth I'll be giving this a shot. I've been keeping track of the progress of this, seeing all the trailers the day they came out actually, haha. Maybe it's because I don't watch anime like most of the rest of you do, but I was impressed by everything except for the voice acting. I think the concept is pretty darn awesome, the animation is fantastic, and I'm pretty excited to see what's in store. It seems like it's a common opinion that the voice acting is the biggest downside to this though. It's funny, I can pick out some of the voices just from watching lots of Roosterteeth products (Yellow is voiced by Barbara Dunkelman I'm 99% sure for example) but it's been a bit disappointing in that regard. Better voice acting was expected, but everything else looks really really well done. Can't wait for Episode One!

Anime is not why I felt it was unimpressive, but rather it felt like the same as all of Monty Oum's other works- girl with weapons doing mega gun-fu. I will say that Red was the weakest of the four and they got better with each one, but I still can't take any of them too seriously yet. Currently it's content without context.

So basically I came to point out that this is the work of Monty Oum who is famous for Haloid and a lot of stuff in the later seasons of Red vs Blue, but Loki already did that for me.
It looks neat, but it doesn't... really appeal to me? It just seems like classic Monty Oum to me - big, fast, jumpy, long, crazy fight scenes with cute anime chicks. Cool, but... cool, I guess? Not really anything substantial other than eye candy to be quite honest... I'll give the first episode a try when it premieres given that it's Rooster Teeth, so it's basically going to wind up being either decent or just repetitive and meh, or a mixture of both. edit: So basically everything Loki said. |

Insufficient amount of data accrued for proper response. Will need to play StarCraft 2 before I can confirm or deny.

Some people like Apples. Some people like Oranges. People who like oranges are crazy people though.

Eh, what colour of apple are we talking, here? I like Green Apples, and Red Apples are good enough, but I simply can't stomach Yellow Apples.
...If Green Apples were White... |

I always knew you were a bit unhinged.
They can be, if you leave them undisturbed and moist on your table for several weeks.

Episode 1 Spoiler: show To sum it up, there's potential in RWBY. I have hope it'll become a decent show. This first episode was just a bit like watching a baby animal's first attempt at walking: cutesy, but needs work.
