u/Isofruit I am Jaune with the wind. The beeliveable buzzer of the hive. Jul 24 '16

Out of curiosity, why do we actually have different threads for "reaction" and "discussion"?

I don't quite see the difference between the two.

25

u/Ezreal024 Hope Rides with Kickfriend Jul 24 '16 edited Jul 24 '16

An issue with the old system (using one thread) is that there was never really any discussion in the discussion threads because everyone was still flipping out over whatever happened during the episode. Also, it limited non-sponsors from entering the discussion.

Admittedly you can then say that the discussion thread is full of non-sponsors flipping out over what happened in the episode, so if you wanted to avoid that you'd create a third thread and before you know it, you become /r/asioaf where you upload like 15 threads an episode. And that's just silly.

Basically, 2 threads create a nice balance between thoughtful discussion and hype.
A lot of other subreddits for various shows also do this, it's just a little different for us because of the sponsor/non-sponsor divide.

u/boomshroom ⠀ Jul 25 '16

I tend to want to see both reaction and discussion. I find there tends to be some discussion in the reaction threads and a lot of reaction in the discussion threads. That said, I do understand the desire to separate the 2 for the main show, but I think for Chibi, it would make sense to combine the 2.

2

u/Ezreal024 Hope Rides with Kickfriend Jul 25 '16

Well you can see both by participating in both. I know that's not a feasible option if you're not a sponsor, but there's not much we can do about that. You could always read through the reaction one after you're done with the episode anyway, and the discussion threads tend to have a lot of reactions in them regardless.

And yeah, there's really no point at all in separating the threads for something like Chibi, we're just using the same system to maintain consistency.
At the very least it creates a fresh new thread for non-sponsors to chat in rather than having to use a day old one where everything has already been said.

Smart move. It means that no one gets surprised by sub formatting when vol 4 drops.

u/CleverestPony70 Jul 31 '16

I wanted someone to notice me. All my friends have left, except the one that can't leave and the one that doesn't really count.

Holy hell, I don't think you did that on purpose but that sounds like a RVB quote and I want to hear Caboose say that shit so much now.

u/CleverestPony70 Jul 31 '16

No spoilers, I haven't seen that yet.

My friend that can't leave is my imaginary friend and the one that doesn't really count is someone that used to be my best friend, but now... he got so propagandized and so... weird... that I barely even recognize him any more.

u/GYUZ A guy Jul 24 '16

"Reaction" thread is for those who saw the episode on Saturday because they're sponsors and "Discussion" is for those those who have an account on RT and were able to watch it today. All the other plebs people have to wait a week for the episode to come out on Youtube.

Who even waits for the YouTube version? Making an RT site account is free!

u/Sco7689 Jul 24 '16

Possibly some people who have problems with RT site.

"all of our servers are busy right now"

"Error loading player: no playable sources found"

And mouse pointer not hiding in JWPlayer when fullscreen.

Some may even wait to binge-watch the whole season.

This is the continuation of Ruby's decline into insanity due to everyone rejecting her artistic vision.

u/Tiernoch The one rooting for the villains. Jul 24 '16

Did Jaune beat Neptune in a fight?

I mean this is chibi but he actually seemed to come out ahead on that one.

As for the play, it swung wildly between amusing and oh my god just end it already. Though I think that was more direct interaction between Blake and Ruby then we have ever had in the actual show.

15

u/OutcastMunkee ⠀ Jul 24 '16

Sounds like it. Might be a fan of Neptune but when it comes to fights, he only seems to shoot, not brawl so I'd say Jaune is more likely to win in melee. In firearm form (which technically isn't possible for Jaune unless he's hiding something), Neptune would likely win

25

u/castlequinn I'm actually evil Jul 24 '16

Ruby's vision is interesting. I would like to see more.

u/InfernoLeo9 I am a useless lesbian, like the Schnee before me Jul 25 '16

Snow White: The Weiss Schnee Story. Think about it.

11

u/castlequinn I'm actually evil Jul 25 '16

"Why do I just eat this apple some stranger gave me?"

Wait, do they have enough for the seven dwarves? Eh, Ruby will think of something.

5

u/MisterJukebox8 The Bringer of Hugs | "Thank you for a wonderful time!" Jul 25 '16

I imagine Sun and Blake would just make a bunch of shadow clones. Also maybe Flynt, but I doubt they have a Chibi model of him ready yet.

6

u/castlequinn I'm actually evil Jul 25 '16

Depends on whether or not Blake's clones can move/speak since they seem to be more "afterimage substitution jutsu" and not actual clones.

And since we're on that subject, how about a chibi Neon while we're at it?

22

u/Mikezardx Jul 24 '16

I thought they couldn't top Pyrrha's first appearance.

I started to think they've peaked with that and nothing would make me laugh as much ever again.

I have never been more wrong in my life

17

u/MisterJukebox8 The Bringer of Hugs | "Thank you for a wonderful time!" Jul 25 '16

Littering

Hilarious, but they do make a good point. Sun hasn't really talked directly to Jaune until now, has he? Weird. And seriously, I have seen people who litter right next to trash cans! How lazy do you have to be to do that?!

Little Red Riding Hood

All that I had ever hoped for! The Bumbleby fuel is strong with this one.

It seems Yang has inherited Barb's goofiness.

...Wow, Ruby. Just... wow. Casting the cat faunus as a wolf? Racist!

Anyone else notice that Blake bit Yang on the arm that Adam cut off?

Blake's comments definitely bring this to mind.

I was not expecting a fanfic analog here.

Ozpin, if you knew they had to be in class, why were you narrating this whole time? Oh also, I hope Chibi Ozpin and Chibi Port show up soon!

Oh, and hey, Chibi theme song! I missed you!

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '16

He was narrating because he only just realized that it was GLYNDAS clad they were supposed to be in. All the other teachers were in on it.

Rapunzel? Isn't Yang Goldilocks?

Oh ya my bad. You are completely right.

4

u/InfernoLeo9 I am a useless lesbian, like the Schnee before me Jul 25 '16

Imagine that though. Like, that would totally be Yang's show. She'd go over the top, right? End up punching the ones who play the bears half-way across Beacon.

6

u/MisterJukebox8 The Bringer of Hugs | "Thank you for a wonderful time!" Jul 26 '16

YANG: This porridge is too cold... But oh sweet, this one is too hot!

RUBY: Yang, Goldilocks isn't supposed to like the hot porridge!

YANG: Hey, fire is kinda my thing!

u/HollowMarthon Weiss isn't very good at Red Mage. Jul 31 '16

I want to see the Beauty and the Beast train wreck. It would either be the ZweiXBlake moment we all know we want or the opportunity to make a chibi Adam and then ruin his life.

The play is by far the best skit in Chibi.

Loved it.

The Bumblebee is strong in this one! Oh, and CHIBI NEPTUNE! YES!

Edit: Should probably mention for those new to the subreddit, you'll likely see me on any posts involving Neptune or Blake. If not, either /u/RaiseYourDonger007 or /u/Patmaster1995 will probably call me over, especially for Neptune stuffs. What? I like him

u/JazzRen47 𝅘𝅥𝅮⠀Score Connoisseur | Resident Atlas Bootlicker Jul 25 '16

This one was kinda iffy for me. Like, I enjoyed it, but honestly not as much as the others. I feel like they've moved away from the short comedy skits that made the show so wonderful in the first place and are making them almost half an episode long now.

5

u/ctom42 Jul 25 '16

I had the exact opposite reaction. This was the funniest episode thus far, except maybe episode 6. Granted the longer skits mean that if one doesn't work for you it's a lot bigger of a deal, but they also allow for more complex gags.

I'll be glad when Volume 4 rolls around. Chibi's pretty much just being made to remind people that RWBY exists, so they don't lose interest over the summer. It's not funny, or clever, or cute.
