Finally, an American anime that gets some respect back in Japan.

>>85400102
they already had that level of respect. they even had a spot at akihabara.

>>85399934
I just got done watching the three volumes OP, but you probaly aren't gonna get a lot of discussion until vol 4 is out in late October. Unless you wanna complain about how fight scenes lose all their flare after Monty Oum died.

>>85400102
Not an anime.

>>85401930
It's technically not, but it's definitely inspired by it, partakes in it's tropes and adopts a similar artstyle. Hell, the recent Berserk anime has the animation of a high budget RWBY.

And that's all that matters.

>>85402099
Japan eats school based shows up. Plus Rwby has a lot more underaged girls.

>>85402350
Most of the girls are seventeen and up though. Only Ruby is definitely underaged at fifteen.

>>85402514
16. Timeskip.

>>85402593
Still fifteen.

>>85402593
Do we have confirmation on how long the timeskip is? How far into the semester were they anyways.

>>85402687
Red Trailer was in winter, Ruby was 15 then. End of volume 3 was also in winter. I hear timeskip is 6 months.

Ergo, she's 16.

why

>>85399934
None of you speak japanese, why you would ever give a fuck about the japanese dub is beyond me.

>>85402793
It wasn't exactly unprecedented. Blake left the White Fang (led by a red person) because of his increasing brutality and manipulation.

>>85402866
Because we're starved for news.

>>85402734
>Red Trailer was in winter, Ruby was 15 then.

Her age in the Red Trailer was never specified.

Seventeen at the start. Watch the show, Boco.

>>85403351
hey guys what if
/ss/ doujin where thicc Raven goes and 'attacks' shota whitefang soldiers in training

>>85403754
I was going to tell Boco this, but shut the fuck up.

Was anyone else dissapointed in the final fight of volume 3. Shit had multiple shots like they were making a jrpg, when Pyrrah breaks out the Magneto powers she decides to use them in the least damaging way, and it's not as memorable outside certain spoilers. The fucking sparring Pyrrha did against team CRDN was more entertaining. Plus three faggy teens could take on the fall maiden but super headmaster guy couldn't?

>>85404287
>Plus three faggy teens could take on the fall maiden but super headmaster guy couldn't?

He didn't have his actual weapon.

>>85404287
A trained assassin, a practiced thief, and some kind of Faustian warlock took down Amber. Ozpin was probably out of actual combat practice, never mind however much warmup, preparation and backup she might've gotten from Salem seeing as she's talking directly to Oz at the end.

>>85404287
>Plus three faggy teens could take on the fall maiden but super headmaster guy couldn't?
Cinder was clearly, holding back, evident by her completely different level of fighting against Ozpin compared to Pyrrha. It doesn't make sense for her to do that, but it was the only way the writers could think to conceivably have the fight last longer than 5 seconds

>>85404976
He's talking about CME beating Amber.

>>85405155
My bad

>>85404863
>Practiced thief

But Emerald was only good for the distraction in that fight.

So how will Phyrra's death affect Jaune in the long run?

>>85405740
More than it should.

>>85405740
Less than it should.

>>85405740
Volume 4 will start with either a scene of Jaune jumping off a cliff or blowing his own brains out. Then the shows plot will actually move forward.

>>85405740
It should.

>>85405914
Oh, and two episodes later Nora will start making inappropriate jokes about it

>>Emerald Sustrai:井上麻里奈 - Inoue Mariya (Attack on Titan as Armin, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann as Yoko Littner)

Hype!

>>85402956
She was 15 at the beginning of the show, and two semesters at Beacon had passed BEFORE the Vytal Festival Tournament, making her closing in on sixteen, if not already 16, by the time she's competing in the tourney. She's definitely 16 come the end of the 3rd volume.

>>85410781
Still fifteen.

>>85410865
Only if the Vytal fetival was really late in fall (entirely possible), while the last scene of the volume was early in winter. Still, that clocks 9 months passing at the minimum, assuming a semester is merely 4 months. The timeskip definitely puts her over, unless Remnant years don't work that way and they never bothered telling us.

>>85410954
It can snow in Fall.

>>85411058
Congrats, you shaved off a month. Timeskip still puts her over by 2 months if Vol 1 Episode 1 was her birthday.

>>85411151
But what if the last scene of Volume 3 is counted as part of the time skip?

>>85402099
Did we ever get sales numbers/reception stats? It must have sold well enough to justify a 2nd and 3rd volume adapted, but I'm curious how many will actually carry over.

No, I mean, Volume One and Volume Two both cover the major events of one semester each, with the Vytal Festival taking place at the end of the second semester. If you assume a semester is 4 months, like most universities and schools, that puts you at a bare minimum of 8 months from Start volume 1 to beginning volume 3, assuming no breaks in between.

Which is a false assumption, as in the beginning of volume 2, Ruby states "these last few weeks have been great, but with classes starting back up again..." or something similar.

Therefore, unless the timeskip is less than 4 months, she's 16 years old in Vol. 4.

All I know about RWBY is that Pandora played me a song from it once and it was one of the worst things I've ever heard.
I can only assume the """anime""" is just as bad.

>>85411740

Which song?

>>85411874
The angsty rock one with the terrible female singer.

>>85411999

>>85417479
All is forgiven.

>>85415772
OK that makes way more sense.

>>85399934
It made enough money to dub more seasons in Japan? I thought the Japanese had taste? Season 1's animation was incredibly subpar.

>>85416497
i concur

>>85419118
Just like in the US, the show itself isn't what's popular- it's the waifus. Literally the only reason anyone cares about RWBY.

Anyone know where to watch the English sub for this dub anywhere?

>>85419118
Not only did it do super well, Dubbing is a pretty cheap investment, so even if it didn't make much, dubbing more would probably still be profitable.
Plus the Weaboo Degenerates who want to hear RWBY in glorious moon speak would also add to the sales.

>>85415901

>waifu

Pfft, no. I'd bang her, sure. But I would not call her the next day.

>>85402793
What bugs me is that Adam is completely different to what he was when the audience first saw him on Blake's trailer. In his first appearance, he barely acknowledges Black when they were hi-jacking the train. No small talk, nicknames, or even a modicum of concern when they were in danger. Adam barely even reacts when Blake leaves him, to the point that he even tells his WF members that Blake isn't worth their time, and they need to focus on their mission. Now it's "my darling" and "my love" shit. What the hell?

>>85419207
Well here it's the only reason to watch the show. Everywhere else people actually like it for what it is

>>85419403
He and Blake needed actual characterization

Why is there a Japanese dub but not a Spanish one?

>>85419400
She's not even the hottest one! If you just want a lay, Yang's probably into all kinds of weird shit.

>>85419628

Dark hair is hotter than blondes.

And Yang would come up shorthanded.

>>85419403
He's insane

>>85419667
Kill yourself

>>85419207

I used to believe RWBY seriously lacked husbandos but then I realized that all the cute guys are adults. And that's more than fine. All the teenage boy characters can be boring and bland somewhere else.

>>85419403

Characterizations change all the time from early material to later.

>>85419254
Isn't RWBY airing on Crunchyroll? I wouldn't be surprised to see people there complaining that it didn't have the official original Jap Dub with Eng Subs on there.

>>85419769

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you're upset.

>>85420111
How long did it take for you to come up with that one?

Well I mostly like it for the fight scenes and weapons. Hopefully they can improve and get to Monty's creativity-level. Based on the volume 4 trailer I'm cautiously optimistic.

>>85419790

He's probably the least developed character but Yatsu is definitely husbando material.

Sun's kinda hot too, or at least he has good fanart.

Pyrrha will always be my favorite though.

Call me a normie, but I don't have any real waifus in this show or really anywhere else. I just needed something I could burn through I liked it better than expected. Although I rarely watch anime enough for the tropes to grow old on me yet.

>>85422814
Hey, it's better than most shit out there since they've shown us they actually have the balls to just kill characters. Which is more than I can say for some others.

>>85423075
Monty was a big fan of Game of Thrones, apparently.

Quite literally just picked this up the other day, watching the last episode in a matter of minutes.

So, who is your best girl?

>>85423075
I've thought about it for a bit, and I guess the closest I could get to possibly waifuing a character would be Pyrrha, because I like her character archetype. But you know.....

>>85423584
Power wise I like Blake's copy ability.

But I'm one of those freaks that doesn't do the whole "best girl" "waifu" stuff...I know, I'm such a weirdo.

Because more japs watch it that spaniards.

Literally one dead character who matters.

>>85430937

Japan is one little country. At least a dozen countries speak Spanish, not including all the bilingual people.

>>85430978
So? Just because there's more countries or people total doesn't mean there's more of an audience for RWBY. Japs eat this shit up while 99.999% of spanish speakers wouldn't, it's the exact same reason they don't make a chinese dub.

Take these numbers with a grain of salt.

The regsitered sales are 6K limited editions and 1K regulars. Actual sales are likely a bit higher than that (considering that the numbers are from last year).

7K sales is pretty decent, considering the japanese only had to dub the thing and never worry about production costs.

7K is a decent number for japanese productions as they start breaking even from the disc sales only; meaning sequels are more than hopes and dreams.

>>85430951
Penny kind of mattered. At least she was built up as though she was going to be more important than she was. Although they can rebuild her, they have the technology.

>>85431755
They can't rebuild a soul though. And Lindsay confirmed she's dead.

>>85432675
I never finished Neon Evangelis or however you spell it, but they could pull a Rei and her come back with no memories of Ruby or what happened at all.

>>85433766
I suppose that is a possibility. But could they even get her pieces back?

>>85433837
The reason why Cinder knew she was a robot was she somehow got access to Atlus's network and gained access to what looked like her schematics. They probably could actually just make another one if they couldn't recover her pieces.

>>85431210
Well, Monty did want to voice him...
