Honestly, one thing I really enjoy about RWBY is that its popularity in Japan pretty much paved the way for amateur doujin makers to essentially create their own shows with MMD. It might not look that great, but creativity should be applauded where it exists. There's a ton of potential there.

But this is the best thing to come out of RWBY: http://store.roosterteeth.com/products/rwby-weiss-plush LOOK AT IT.

RWBY ain't for everyone. It's also free, in English, and in, like, 10 minute increments, so it's really easy to just turn it on and turn your brain off without feeling any loss. It has some neat things going for it, but it's the end-all, be-all of absolutely nothing. Music's pretty awesome, though.

Except for the loss of self-respect that comes from mindlessly consuming drivel.

We watch anime. This is not a new experience.

Confirm/Deny: People who like RWBY like it moreso as a catalyst for erotic fanfiction than for anything the show itself does.

Confirm. Ruby x Weiss OTP.

Man, I just wish RWBY had been a video game from the start; basically, DMC/Bayonetta meets Dynasty Warriors.

The difference being that most of those people aren't using Powerpoint to make an animated series with considerable financial backing :v:

We have RPGs made in Excel. Give it time.

And again, I can't stress this enough, the dude is PAID to make this. He is given money with the expectation to put out a decent product, and this is what comes out. I'd be way more forgiving if it really was just this one dude trying to make something he liked; the fact that it's being sold to the public as if it's remotely up to par is what makes it ripe for tearing apart.

The fact of the matter, though, is that he's selling it and people are buying it. This isn't some failed Kickstarter; this is a commercial success resulting in positive returns for Rooster Teeth. He is meeting expectations.

I wonder what happened. To say "It's not known if he'll recover" is pretty crazy, especially since if it was, like, a car accident, they'd mention it.
