Genuinely looking forward to a RWBY that is hopefully actually good, instead of frustratingly bad.

If there's still any involvement from rooster teeth I wouldn't put much hope in it turning out alright.

rwby is a fun shonen fight show with an unusual and cool aesthetic and that's enough to make it popular despite a lot of flaws

I’m ambivalent on it, since so much of my enjoyment from early RWBY was precisely because of just how corny it was

popular enough to be dubbed and have merch/manga/game appearances but it doesn't seem to be huge huge. some of the success in JP is going to be from Western fan imports as well

Has anyone watched Heike Monogatari? If so - is it true that one basically needs to be familiar with the source material to know what is going on? It looks cool but I've read quite a few comments saying something to that effect

I think it assumes a familiarity that is much more reasonable to expect of a Japanese audience since Heike is a pretty foundational work of Japanese lit.

It's not as if Westerners can't understand the context it's set in; for example here's a few things that I remember standing out: It's considered familial to refer to people by their name; you refer to men by their position, and to women based on the colour of their clothes or their relation to the position of a man they're in a relationship with. There tends to be a much broader swath of characters than you find in a lot of modern works, and keeping track of all of them based on the context mentioned above can be exhausting. Stories told back in that era were considered part of a much larger story, so they often wouldn't have the same beginning-story-ending structure we're familiar with; for example the Tale of Genji stretches over a lot longer of a period of time. The original story of Genji was recorded in orihon style, which means it was placed on paper that was folded like a the bellow of a concertina - and reading it in a different way from that changes the story somewhat. More importantly, it's also a style that lends itself well to being presented as an oral history, which is how the Tale of the Heike was originally told. The stories are also understood to be told as being foundational to how Japan is today, so reading the series of stories are meant to explain where the Japanese come from. And finally, an understanding of the Buddhistic approach to life as being impermanent - and in a sense understanding the concept of mono no aware - can also be key to understanding both the work, but also the length of time that they stretch across as mentioned previously.

It looks cool but I've read quite a few comments saying something to that effect As other posters have said, you can watch it with no prior exposure or experience with the original source material, but a familiarity will definitely make it easier to keep track of all the characters and their relationships with each other. I'd say if you are interested, don't worry about the small details and just watch it, it's a good show.

It's good, enjoy it was indeed very good  beginning was a bit slow and confusing but that was more the pacing than the source, and it ended up great. interested in the series as a whole now. Gojo ftw

RT said he had written 10 seasons worth of stuff but based on the pacing early on, that's like 2 hours worth of story. Seems like the entire show was an excuse for his trademark 'amazing' fighting animations, something I never quite understood. All I know is he supposedly forced everyone else to work with an outdated version of Poser (I think, or blender) he was comfortable with and after he died they immediately switched to a modern animation development tool.

RT said he had written 10 seasons worth of stuff but based on the pacing early on, that's like 2 hours worth of story. Eh not quite; as much as I loved Monty's stuff I'm not pining for some what could have been as it was always flawed, even at the start; but more a recognition that while I also like and enjoy Miles and Kerry in RT content and enjoy their produced content; RWBY was basically an indie garage project with Monty given a budget who grabbed his two closest friends to write RWBY for him to fill in the gaps between his fight scenes. Early RWBY should be contextualized as a collaboration between friends at the request of friends with money (Bernie paying Monty back for his help in Red vs Blue) that happened to get up to Red vs Blue level big. So you have a story written by people who didn't have a lot of credits to their name before then and who as Hbomb notes were given an anime watchathon bootcamp by Monty to prepare them*; plus all the problems of a 3D animation project that has to gradually spool up their content creation pipeline that doesn't really manage to find its legs until its 4th volume/season when they run out of content that was made by Monty and are able to write the action scenes to serve the plot and not the other way around. The poser thing is true IIRC; which again was fine in the context of a smaller project; but not once RWBY's production team was rapidly scaled up; but this afflicts at most like 3 volumes. So for me its more about the fact that you have experienced story writers with huge coattails who will take all the things that worked about RWBY and polish it into something legitimately great on its own merits without any caveats that you'd normally give a more indie creation. *Much like how probably one of the worst ways to learn how to draw is to start of by copying anime/manga before learning proper human anatomy; learning how to world build and write a story by watching anime can't be that much better either although probably not as bad as all stories share overlapping elements, tropes, symbols, etc etc etc Jung etc. Raenir Salazar fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Mar 27, 2022 |

the only difference between RWBY and weird randomly high quality MMD Touhou fight videos you find on Youtube is that the latter don't insult your intelligence with bad voice acting or writing or a typically battle manga-y ever-inflating cast of extraneous characters

I think its understandable that cool fight scenes have some difficulty providing things like pathos, catharsis, character development, plot, and other things that go into a story. People enjoy stories and an overarching episode series promises more of a story than rewatching the RWBY "Red" trailer over and over; and will take a flawed execution of an attempt to tell a story over a single well executed fight scene that doesn't.
