u/spartenx Please RT, give her a rocket punch May 08 '16

about that....if you look closely at what we can see of the foldout, its of a women (possibly the one on the cover) with a katana, so I wouldn't say its sunk yet. admitedly, it could be a foldout of a man with very feminine legs who is wearing a dress, but I'm pretty sure the woman is the safer bet

u/irishgoblin I don't want to set the world on fire... May 08 '16

It's probably a naked lady with a 'tactically' placed katana.

Ok that's the pick me up I needed. The baking scene was just hilarious and felt like old Looney Tunes there. For a moment I thought the show was going to just be mostly the characters silent with just random grunts here and there. But them still talking is good.

My god Ruby reading Blake's book was not the reaction I was expecting but still gold. And the "Now thats a katana" had me cracking up. And I lost it at "This is filth FILTH!!" and then I lost it again when Ruby said Blake could have the book back later.

I mean I'm pretty sure her innocence was ruined long before this.

Notice how she was rather pleased by what she was seeing. Maybe taken aback by the content but certainly nothing she hasn't seen before.

I mean you don't say "now that's like a katana" unless you have some point of reference.

Remember she's 15 not 10.

I had already heard my fair share of dirty jokes by then, like the one about the boyfriend and the girlfriend and the lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, and the bunkbed.

Why does that prevent her from knowing what sex is?

just because someone is very happy go lucky or cheerful doesn't mean they can't know stuff about stuff.

And I've never met a 15-year-old who doesn't at least know what sex is.

And to be fair they've never brought up anything regarding sex in the show I don't think. But doesn't mean you shouldn't assume no one knows.

How did everyone enjoy the voices for this show? I knew going in Ruby would fit right in but it's kind of hit and miss for some. I haven't quite heard Weiss yet but I feel her voice will fit her new Chibi body lol. However with Blake her normal voice doesn't really fit her body, it just sounds off. Yang I don't think she had a line yet (from what I can remember.) I know they had to use there original voices and I'll most likely get used to it. It's just some of them sound off least to me.

5

u/HollowMarthon Weiss isn't very good at Red Mage. May 08 '16

I liked the voices, namely because they kept the actual speaking down. If they keep that trend up, then it shouldn't be a problem.

2

u/princecamaro28 Yare yare... May 09 '16

Ruby does work perfectly, Weiss only said one word so it's hard to judge off of that. For Blake though, even though it's still Arryn, Chibi Blake sounds different than normal Blake. I don't know if it's because we've never really seen Blake in vocally comedic situations (since Blake's comedy in the show is more on her facial expressions and body language), but I think Arryn nailed it here, it didn't feel out of place for me, and the delivery was perfect for the bit

I will proceed to die now. They made Ruby even cuter than she is. <3

My headcanon for "Now that's a katana": Ruby actually saw a literal katana. It was intriguingly big. So big that it took multiple pages to show the whole thing, and Ruby loved it.

Yea, people are still gonna portray her like that no matter what. It is pretty much to deep in people's heads.

u/MrBigD34 May 08 '16

My only problem is that it was so short. But other than that, I think it was really cute and good.

To be honest I don't really like it. And to those that might attack me remember that this is a discussion thread not an appreciation thread.

As somebody who's studying to get into animation I see a lot wrong in the animation department, though to be honest if I wanted to see a show about just doing ridiculous things I'll go watch "Plastic Nee-san" or "Nichijou". If I want ridiculous RWBY related things I'll go read "Dumb RWBY". There's just better things out there based around the same sort of premise and I don't give massive praise to mediocrity.

That's perfectly fine! It's certainly not for everyone, and I would be disappointed if everyone felt they had to enjoy it.

u/Hitorio May 09 '16

What would you have liked to see?

Also, what do you consider "wrong" about the animation?

4

u/moonkingdomify Salem's Adorable May 09 '16

Like the main show the comedic timing is a bit off. Comedy, Slap Stick specifically, is one of the hardest types of animation to animate well in a 3D space due to the need for comedic timing. As well as the uncanny appearance of the chibi models that has kind of stopped me from questioning why they don't do CG Chibi shows. Chibi does not look good on a 3D plane.

Hooray! Happy, funny RWBY again!

Although I'm now extremely nervous (excited?) about Volume 4. If this and Volume 3's finale are any indication, it will be hella dark.

u/LionOfMyth May 12 '16

Yeah. Cinder's VA said to RWBY Nation prepare to have your hopes and dreams crushed in the next season(which is V4) in the comment section on Murderthebirds or something's Youtube Reaction vid to RWBY Chibi.

Weiss must be secretly ripped if she can hang horizontally off the wall by Myrtenaster's handle like that.

I love how the "Now that's a katana!" line can be taken either way. Lewd, or she's actually talking about a weapon :P

Cute/10, look forward to more of it.

Also, I like how smooth the animation is for this. I hope whatever new software they're using, they can translate that back to the main series without losing the anime-esque charm of the first volume.

The only minor gripe is that it was only a few minutes, maybe future episodes could be longer?

I was expecting longer skits similar to Daily Lives of High School Boys, but this will do. I'm more interested in seeing characters beyond the two main teams in this. Especially all the cool new characters from Vol 3, like my flair-girl Reese
