All I know about rwby is that my wife likes it and I think an old college friend of mine did some temp work on sound mixing/edut for a few episodes. She usually works on other rooster teeth stuff but they needed some extra help at some point or something, I dunno.


Other than that, I've no clue.

It's important to have a character that always says everyone's full names, like Kazuma Kuwabara or Tiera Erde

This is essential tbh.

Great article, I knew Perfect Blue was an inspiration for Black Swan, but never thought about the same for Requiem.

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.

you are not an authority about learning how to write. you are a great authority on the opposite, pedantic rear end overly wordy and self-obsessed nerd poo poo. you are boring and obnoxious and im gonna compress you into a 1 cm3 cube

Anime bootcamp seems like a reasonable way to prepare for a shounen pastiche. I don't think the thing that ruined RWBY's story was the writers watching eight episodes of Naruto

You have it set to start at the end of the video.

Anyway, I rank Sword Dad a bit below Skeleton Knight--the writing is a little worse and the violence gets a little gratuitous. But it's still pretty good as isekai go, though it's one of those isekai that seems like they just made it an isekai because it was trendy because it has no effect on the story. I'll likely end up watching because I read the manga.

I think hbomb describes it best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81fdKWOHrdE&t=5468s (link should be to the timestamp) which to summarize:

1. If you watch a bunch of anime and crib it for notes without understanding why those ideas worked in their context, the end result is not going to be better for it.

2. If you're going to borrow stuff from better shows, you should borrow what actually gave it meaning, and not surface level details that seemed cool.

3. By combining all these different elements together without understanding them; you create excess bloat that can introduce plotholes or inconsistent or abortive characterization.

Not that I think "anime bootcamp" "ruined" the writing, which I think was mostly fine for what it is; I just think we're going to see what happens when you give experienced well regarded writers already familiar with anime and with what makes anime stories work the reigns and I'm excited for what they can do with it. If you gave two experienced writers who never encountered anime before the same bootcamp I think you get something without the same flaws for sure.

"On December 16, 2021, Akamatsu announced he will be running for the House of Councillors, the upper house of Japan's House of Representatives, as part of the Liberal Democratic Party, in the 2022 summer election, to protect freedom of expression, artistic freedom and creators' rights in Japan from foreign and domestic puritan and politically correct censorship, standards, regulations and influences."

He's running on the 13,000 year old demon that looks like a child ticket, I see.
