Darth Walrus posted:Actually, now I'm wondering - what's better (OK, less bad) - RWBY or Mahouka? I don't think rwby has incest or any really terrible things beyond bad writing and animation. So Mahouka is probably worse.

That was bad. The entire show relies on a framework that it never bothers to build. We're meant to be afraid for characters when they face down monsters but the monsters are mowed down by the dozen, and enemies that are meant to be mysterious but lose every time. Big changes happen to relationships based on five minutes of build up or nothing at all. The tone changes from episode to episode. Characters clearly want to be sympathetic do nothing to earn that sympathy. Mysteries are boring. The finale of season two is a huge world-shaking event that an episode later is used as a showcase for four more super-special combat students in a series that already has at least fourteen of them. It's real bad.

The food fight was cool and then they fought a robot at some point which was neat and then I stopped watching because committing 15 minutes a week to watching rwby was a lot harder than committing 7 minutes of a week to watch rwby. And i'm fairly certain I made the correct choice.

I remember a local anime convention having a RWBY panel with Rooster Teeth staff and stuff. Perhaps next year I will attend that panel and be slightly terrified from sitting among a crowd of RWBY fans. Not for any sort of irony, but because RWBY and everything about it interests me in a horrible way. Something tells me the Q&A session would comprise entirely of shipping.

RWBY is pretty interesting, mostly in the ways of how it manages to be popular while having some of the worst storytelling i've ever seen. You're probably right about the Q&A though. If it makes you feel any better I think they were better than what I saw of season 2. Not that that means much.

I had some time to think. First, I take back what I said about the whole "Jaune is a creepy self insert story hijacker" thing. He was annoying and creepy, but ultimately it wasn't as bad as I was led to believe. second, I can see why it's popular. It's bad, but you can tell that, at least at first, they're invested in the story they're trying to tell. When they're actually trying, it's bad in a charming way. In the first half, that comes across pretty well. The action was neat, the camera work was fairly well thought out, and on the whole, the out of combat animation was marginally better than in season 1. It was by no means good, but it showed enough growth that I felt comfortable getting a little invested in it. Then... I don't know... Episode 8 or 9, I'm not sure exactly where, but every part of the production seemed to just give up. They didn't give a gently caress. It's most evident with the camera in the last two episodes: The dynamic camerawork that's as much monty's trademark as his choreography is just gone by the end. The textures take a hit, too, reverting to season 1 quality. If you bother to get invested in it, at all, the change in quality just hits you like a truck. The plot takes a massive dump on your face at the end, too. See, Attack On Titan was released in the states around the same time Season 2 started coming out, before the last episodes were written, and you can definitely see how it affected the one impressionable writer. He was inspired to rip off the first episode, but that required a huge tonal shift that he wasn't prepared to execute, and everything the show had going for it just evaporated all at once. Then it just went loving insane. Sad insane. The fight scenes stopped being interesting, Nora showed up for a second, but not long enough to redeem anything, Oobleck hit a dog with a flaming wifflebat, characters we've never seen or heard of before show up and make mincemeat out of everything, and the deviantart bunny showed up and contributed absolutely nothing. My brain turned off by the end. I don't really remember the rest. I'm sure it was a self defense mechanism going off. SyntheticPolygon posted:If it makes you feel any better I think they were better than what I saw of season 2. Not that that means much. So, when you say that the beginning of season 3 is better, you can understand where I'm coming from when I say "That just makes it worse". They're going to drop the ball again. It's guaranteed to happen. BattleCattle fucked around with this message at 05:03 on Nov 9, 2015 |

BattleCattle posted:...The gently caress is X-ray and Vav? RT commentators, Ray Narverez Jr. and Gavin Free, were doing a guide for Halo 3's terminals. Gavin called Ray "X-Ray" as a joke and it lead to a discussion on Superhero names. Gavin decided his would be Vav. Pretending to be the team X-Ray and Vav became a running joke for years on the channel. X-Ray and Vav became popular with the fans and the two commentators would often dress as the superheroes at conventions. Many fans followed suit. Two years ago, the RT animation team decided to make a flash series under the premise of the running joke, like those SNL character movies of the 80s and 90s. It often uses the Achievement Hunter's running jokes to make characters like the Mad King Ryan, Mogar, and the Corpirate. Never watched it. Probably bad.

X-Ray and Vav is just a superhero comedy with a loyer of Achievement Hunter in-jokes on top. It's a lot like Gundam Build Fighters in that you'l get a good chunk of the jokes without prior Gundam knowledge, but there are a few jokes that are based on being familiar with stuff from other parts of the franchise.

Gundam Build Fighters was good despite its callbacks to other Gundam shows, because the fight scenes were loving awesome. I'm not surprised that Japan likes RWBY. Their target demographic for this show has standards even lower than we do.

IMO RWBY, much like anime in general, is good, and if that statement makes people mad that anime fans aren't critical enough of their chosen popular medium or haven't signed a disclaimer prepared by a team of lawyers stating that anime is bad and they're bad for liking it and japan is bad for making it, even better

Ignoring all the stuff about the humor or fight scenes or whether it "gets" anime, I think the biggest issue with RWBY is that it just feels like an amateur production. It seems like something that would be really impressive if it were a project for a university class, but simply doesn't compare with what professional animators/writers/other important roles do.

It's like they just took every popular anime and stuck it in a blender then poured it over their favorite anime girls. It's not that surprising that this is popular in Japan considering both Naruto and Bleach are popular as well.
