| Nay. Monty died after just season 2. RoosterTeeth though decided to contiune the series and its currently as you say at season 6 by this point. But despie that, the only thing that is better with the show now is the animation everything else is either mediocre or just bad unfortunately (My opinion). |

| isn't crunchyroll splitting with funi and gonna lose like a bunch of series? i guess they are stocking up so the net loss of series isn't as high |

Or did amazon cancel their work with Sentai? There is at least some changes currently that weaken the competition, so let's blame it on Trump for now... not sure about whos splitting with Sentai but you can read more about the crunchyroll x funi split here https://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtopic-1025862/update-to-the-crunchyroll-x-funimation-partnership?pg=0 sony bought funi and is taking back a number of series with them |

| the animation has changed a lot from season 1 to now. As For Monty's death, it just delayed the show by a couple months, it didn't cancel it. |

DonTrumpolino said: The sixth season just started.So, I've been seeing RWBY popping up lately everywhere on places like amazon prime, crunchyroll, etc. and was wondering if this show is still going on or why it suddenly appears out of the ashes. As far as I got the history, the show was just very ambitious with a somehow good story and better characters, but animation that needs to get used to to say the least... However I thought that after Monty Oum died the show was basically cancelled or at least had no further production, yet it seems like there are new seasons appearing. Or have I just not gotten to the end yet and there actually always were 6 seasons? FWIW, they actually did have a lot of stuff planned even back when Oum died. |

| @DonTrumpolino in order to honor monty oums memory they are continuing the series. he had at lest like 12 seasons planned out before he died. also the writer for familiar of zero died and the Light novel is still on going. stories don't always end because the writer up and died. |

| Also FWIW in the series lore they have only explored two of the four major populated continents; they're starting on the third with the sixth season. And this isn't even counting the mysterious dragon-shaped continent that is apparently uninhabited. |

| RWBY kept getting better witch each season until after season three at which point it kind of lost its magic once they left Beacon Academy and hit the road (although definitely still has its moments). That being said in season four the animation quality got ridiculously good like it's actually kind of sad that a small studio like Rooster Teeth is better at 3D animation than Netflix and literally every anime studio. |

Fakegoose said: the animation has changed a lot from season 1 to now. As For Monty's death, it just delayed the show by a couple months, it didn't cancel it. Monty's death had a far greater consequence than just delaying the show. The guy was an amazing battle choreographer. His Dead Fantasy YT video and his work on Red vs. Blue's fights were a testament to his talent. Now, i haven't kept up with RWBY after Vol. 2, but i sincerely doubt the battles in Vol. 3 onwards are anywhere near as exciting as when he was alive. |
Because other people still call it anime...also ATLA, Castlevania, High Guardian Spice ect. And RWBY is the most non-animesque from the bunch. It is a unique title, I don't understand why lump in it with the japanese mass produced shows. |

There are a thousand different artstyles in japanese animation. You're just fooling yourself if you think there is one 'anime artstyle'. Or you haven't watched very much anime. But just look at your favorites ffs. How do Redline, Tatami Galaxy, Kuchuu Buranko, Monster or Aria have anything that you can identify as one 'anime look'? Classification by artstyle is just bullshit. People simplify and generalize in their heads but it does not reflect reality. |

GlennMagusHarvey said: Ehh, it's got more noticeably anime-style art than ATLA and HGS. What? Naaah. To me it looks closer to those recent chinese 3D CGI shows. Then The Dragon Prince and Star Wars Resistance are anime too. |
Are you telling me that I am not a weeaboo and I should stop acting like one? Ah, what a relief! |
DonTrumpolino said: Don't the japanese themselves call everthing anime that is, well, animated? And the only ones that brag about what is and isn't are the west/american weeaboos? Do you know what bragging means? Idk how it applies to simply making a distinction. Yes, the japanese don't make that distinction with the term 'anime'. Neither does the west if we're using the term 'animation' tho. But there's no harm in making additional distinctions based on area or culture of origin. Just like you can talk about french or japanese or german or american film, or just about movies in general, you can talk about japanese/east asian animation, american animation, european animation etc.. Anime is just a convenient term to make that distinction in western languages. Don't want to make it? Just talk about animation in general then. Noone's stopping you. |

But still there are patterns that are used in most anime, and because of them I can and I will generalize and call it "anime art style". Anime_Emperor said: But thats not what anime is. Anime is a JAPANESE cartoon. Not any cartoon that that uses art styles similar to it. Anime is not only an artsyle but a cartoon that comes from Japan. Iii don't really care about what you say. You have your point of view and I have mine. |

Huntik said: @UrbanSpaceman So you'll generalize and call every anime that has a cartoon Style an "anime art style". Why this 👇 cartoon is here? I haven't seen it yet, but to me looks like a cartoon honestly. https://myanimelist.net/anime/8795/Panty___Stocking_with_Garterbelt Because anime is all animation from Japan and an art style. And using MAL database to proof a point is a bad decision because MAL database has a lot of Korean and Chinese cartoons which is not anime according "It's not Japanese then it's not anime" doctrine. |

To me it looks closer to those recent chinese 3D CGI shows. Look at ATLA's noses. Noticeably more detail than standard anime noses. Look at HGS. Rounder, more "bulgy" faces. Look at RWBY. Sharper faces, less detail in the noses. |

I have seen charter design in animes like all the 3 of them (HGS gives a bit of Andersen Monogatari vibes and the backgrounds are totally LWA) but for me RWBY's animation and art resemble more chinese and korean 3D pojects...and this means nothing because we know that this is an USA show and the writing is very typical despite taking elements from many places (animes, games, western live action movies ect). |
| you may correct me if i'm wrong but rwby has been consistently putting out new seasons every fall for years now. it's that time of the year again so your'e likely going to see more buzz about the new season that just started. |
| I'm pretty sure RWBY is just fine since it's a Chinese cartoon after all. |
 |
| It becomes bad after Monty Oum died. It story nose dived in an instant from action comedy into dark suspense show in an instant. I really season 1 and 2 coz its so relax. Now, seriousness is too much the real charm of RWBY is gone. I stopped watching it after season/volume 3. |

Also this is how Oum planned the show to develop - getting darker and more complex. If you enjoined it only for the comedy there is a little something called RWBY Chibi and even Pyrrha is alive on it. |

But I'm not saying it should focus on comedy. But I think RWBY is a lot better that way coz their characters are lovely. Combine it with excellent fighting choreography, its a unique experience. I really believe that they rush the story after Monty Oum died. |

Some spoilers then And I will recommend you RWBY Chibi again. Penny is on it too. |
DonTrumpolino said: No, the different seasons (or "volumes") have different numbers of episodes, typically around 12.So, this show has only 3 episodes per season, right? Else I would need to watch it on Venus to get all in one day. Plus that Chibi stuff... weren't those these awfully cheap made Teen Titans Go like knockoff series, which are the equivalent of those text-based rpg's? If so, then I'm gonna pass them, because I set them on the same level as audio books... season 1: 16 eps season 2: 12 eps season 3: 12 eps season 4: 12 eps season 5: 14 eps |

It's a heavy pass for a lot of people, and it isn't the best thing in the world. |

| It just started its sixth season. As much as I love the show, I haven't gotten around to this season yet as I don't have a RoosterTeeth account, so I'm waiting for it to show up CR or their YouTube channel, if it ever does. |

Indeed, the show was thoroughly entertaining for the first three seasons when it was just about a bunch of teenagers ROFLstomping monster hordes and having silly food fights at school. From season 4 onward, the story has been trying to take itself seriously, and it has lost a lot of it's shine. The drama isn't properly set up, character motivations are all over the place, characters are jumping through or restarting their character arcs, and so on, but I digress: Youtube already has more than enough videos breaking down what went wrong after season 3. That said, I'll still check out season 6, because I still like the aesthetic and I want to see Atlas. |

| So, I’m a bit curious, but what do people think of Season 6 thus far? I’m not sure what it is, but I’m loving it so far. I waited a while to watch it because I thought I was just gonna drop it altogether since Volume 5 was by far and away one of the biggest piles of dog shit that I’ve watched. So far, it seems like the tone of Volume 6 is a lot heavier, the fight scene choreography is a lot smoother, and “finally”, it feels like we’re getting some progression, especially with Ruby’s character. It’s still not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I am really loving the tonal shift this season. It feels like Rooster Teeth actually listened to a lot of the criticism they got and made adjustments. |
