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

It occurred to me while on a long drive today that RWBY is basically Naruto with fancy weapons.

I don't believe it.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

Well, there was some filler in season 1 and some of the characters could be called oxymoronic.

If anything Season 3 is the filler, Rwby establishes itself from the start as one of those shows that's school hijinks with superpowers.

I mean more the general setting themes, not the show itself. Child soldier combat training with everyone having unique powersets and crazy weapon bullshit, each town having a battle school that sends its trainees to fight with each other in a tournament to show off their military power, etc.

It's not a great analogy but it just kind of fit and I thought it was weird.

I bet it was an inspiration. The series is inspired heavily by anime in general and seems to have a bit of a shueshia comics vibe to the whole deal.

It's on record that Monty took inspiration from a lot of themes of Shonen anime (ex: Bleach, Naruto, Fullmetal Alchemist, One Piece etc.)
So yeah, there's a lot of similarities there. I thought you were meaning Naruto specifically :v:

I really really like the background setting of Naruto despite most of the rest of it being generally bad, so the similarities stick out :v:

Something about this drawing makes Penny look like a six year old girl. I don't get why.

Anyway, it's a pretty adorable comic.

I'm not sure why somebody strung together a bunch of cutscenes from a shovelware PS2 game, and I'm even less sure of why the gently caress it's on Netflix.

I just want to say that the reason Cinder is so badly acted is because Monty had a fetish for cosplayers and hired one to do something other than cosplay. RWBY is a bad show.

To be fair, even experienced VAs would struggle with two years of nothing but finding different ways to say, "My planned plan is planfully going to plan just as planned."

Which I guess is Salem's line now.

Hooray.
