Never heard of enthusiasm outstripping competence before? It's a pretty omnipresent phenomenon. Person sees cool thing, wants to do cool thing, trips up over themselves because they didn't read the (literal or metaphorical) manual first.

Does RWBY count towards 100% myanimelist completion?

Could at least flip one or two, maybe.
rwby is a weird show where season one kinda falls on its face as machinma dudes and a fight video dude try to make an anime and then season two is pretty all around alright but started to show issues because they ran out of time and season three looks p crisp and good thus far

it just kinda boggles the mind there's gonna be three years of this show

I'm not even going for that cheevo, I just hoped they'd get better with practice, ya know? The actors weren't really in character yet, the writer had zero experience writing fiction, the animators were working with scratch models made by a guy who was, himself, new to modeling, Oum never evolved past his outdated copy of poser... It was all forgivable at the time, ya know? I don't know, maybe I was trying to justify the hype.

It didn't get better. I want it to be better. The trailer was really cool.

When someone outside of VEGETA says something is "too anime" or something to that effect, I'm sure they have RWBY on mind to qualify that claim. With complete sincerity, I love how people outside of Japan have distilled anime to its purest essence with RWBY.

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that

I'm 3 mins into episode 1

- About half this time was exposition, because why have worldbuilding occur naturally through conversation
- Orange haired guy robs a shop; shopkeeper says "please take my yen and leave" because the thing written by white people in america has to hit maximum weeb.
- Guy draws his sword upon seeing a girl in a red hood. She's gonna give herself tinnitus playing her rock music this loud


It's dumb, I'll probably watch all of it

Heck I attempted this with a pal but then we got to the second season and the episodes became longer with less happening

It committed the worst sin a piece of fiction can do

It became boring as heck

The developer of Brigador is a secret chud, don't give him money
Back when I was in college during an anime course there was this one guy who kept insisting he was going to hit it off and go and make animes and he loving loved this show and would try to get everyone to watch it. So when he came around and was like "Hey man you like animes? Check this poo poo out" and put a video on even with zero standards I was somehow disappointed. The animation was worse than some of those early 90's CG cartoons and as far as I could tell, it the most generically anime thing possible. Like that old gaia-online site but somehow animated.
