what does everyone think of RWBY volume 3?

Rinth said:
It airs on Crunchyroll, so it's anime. Kappa.

Old_Raven said:

The author was Japanese-American even...

The little girl, dressed with a gothic-lolita-red-riding-hood-cospaly who slaughters badass werewolf-like, with a freaking huge threatening scythe she uses like a woodstick (seriously, I thought she's a psycho-killer), in a "bloody" orgy (blood remplaced by roses to hide the violence is still violent) is something who hurts me...

Plus, It's just after I've stopped a piece of shit of manga with the same Red-Riding-Hood aspect...
Watching this trailer made me remember some gruesome and disgusting scenes who scarred me....

Surprised it's still going after the creator died.

Zuihou said:
The action is decent and the only reason I'd continue watching is for the main female cast. Everything else is lackluster. I'd give the show a 5/10 if I rated it as like any other anime.

Japanese cast of RWBY:
Ruby Rose - Saori Hayami(The Irregular at Magic High School's Miyuki Shiba)

Weiss Schnee - Yoko Hikasa(Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?'s Freya)

Blake Belladonna - Yu Shimamura (Attack on Titan's Annie)

Yang Xiao Long - Ami Koshimizu (Kill La Kill's Ryūko Matoi)

There are some big names in there ^^

how many volumes/episodes have you watched?

Balong said:
And the "Red" trailer made me angry for like half-hour..

I barely managed to finish the first season and it was just not what I have expected it to be. My first impression from the trailers was this is a dark action-packed series; Not some cliche magic highschool anime where everyone flaunt their nakama power. The weapons are nice though and the trailers are truly something else. Still, RWBY the series is nothing but all flair with no substance.

Kreion said:


The RWBY series is exactly the wrong way to make something inspired by anime - don't get my wrong I have the utmost respect for Monty as he managed to actually make an anime, or something that heavily resembled anime, in the USA which puts him in a pretty secluded bunch of people. I love the character designs and appreciate the fact he thought about the world BUT...

The big problem, going back to the start, is that it makes no effort to be anything but the most generic thing it can be. It's like you took a handful of the currently airing anime and saw: all girls, big weapons, action, highschool, magic and then just made that anime. The characters are empty, the 3d is meh at best beyond the initial trailer fights and it just feels SO flat. So devoid of originality that it feels cynical even when I know that the original creator obviously never thought of it like that.

I just honestly can't see any appeal to that series, unless you are grasping at straws for western made 'anime' - as for things made in an anime style Korra is still probably the best thing from the west, RWBY is at VERY best average.

People actually watch this? lol

XPyrrhaNikosX said:


yes they do, in fact a lot of people do

CondemneDio said:


But why?
Crappy 3d, crappy animation, crappy voice acting, and bullshit powers.

XPyrrhaNikosX said:

well everyone has their different tastes obviously. but the i think that animation is quite good, especially if you look at the season that is starting to air now. and define bullshit?

CondemneDio said:


Yeah, well it's all preferences. I think the animation is one of the worst I've seen.

Bullshit powers have no rules or limits and are vague as hell. Like ki in DBZ, or whatever energy from Bleach.

XPyrrhaNikosX said:


like give me an example for the powers. The powers are very straight forward in my opinion

CondemneDio said:


Hmm.. RWBY powers? I don't really know more than the whole aura thing.
Which is basically a plot armor power, which can heal and protect, and has no set limits or rules.

XPyrrhaNikosX said:

just curious how much did you watch?

CondemneDio said:


Not at all. I watched the Death Battle which had the blonde chick. I know it's not the best place to gather information, but from what I gathered with my friend from the explanations the aura is just what I said. A plot armor with no limits or rules. It's just not good writing.

XPyrrhaNikosX said:


In my opinion it is better than most animes that are airing right now. Though i agree it is pretty generic. There are quite a bit to the characters, just a lot has not been explained yet. and for the 3d, if you look at the newest season tat is coming out now, i think it is absolutely amazing... but then again that is just my opinion.

CondemneDio said:


But why?
Crappy 3d, crappy animation, crappy voice acting, and bullshit powers.

sadpwner said:

Also, crappy plot and crappy characters. Dialogue was so bad. I just cringed a lot.

It's like your typical shounen cliche crap except everything is significantly worse.

I think it only gets views because the people haven't seen much anime or because rosterteeth already had a big fan base.
