Sweet, can't wait for the new volume.

 

As much as everyone hates this volume for being relatively calm, this was necessary. I'm thinking of this as a writer. How else could the creators of RWBY get across the point of character restructuring and everyone coming to terms with everything that happened? What else could these characters even do? They left so broken up and torn apart that adding more fighting scenes than the ones displayed wouldn't really make sense. If they just glazed over this, everyone's characters wouldn't be developed enough. These are real conflicts Blake, Yang, and Weiss had to go through, just about as big as the fighting things. Why devote less time to such sizable conflicts?

 

I agree with you wholeheartedly, man! Not everything can be an action fest all the time. There are moments where slow, step by step moments are necessary in order to introduce character development, ya know? I, for one, enjoyed this volume, and I enjoyed the development for the characters, and how everyone's dealing with the current situation at hand, ya know? I particularly loved that we finally got some backstory on Nora and Ren, for that was definitely badass!

 

I'm sure that Volume 5 will have a great balance of development and battles! We just gotta wait and see for what happens! :D

Gahhh, adorable levels are over 9000 and rapidly rising! Chibi Penny is way too adorable for words! :D

 

I can't wait for more Rwby Chibi! And I like that when the main series is in its off season, Chibi helps entertain us while the Volumes get developed! That's a smart strategy on Rooster Teeth's part! :O

And a nice way to bring the comedic side of RWBY to us, although I wish there was a bit more in the main show.

Indeed! Right now, Chibi is giving us the doses of comedy that the main show is lacking, since the main show is getting darker, which I love! :3

Here goes another sneak peek trailer to give us a taste of a bunch of new characters and skits for RWBY CHIBI (including Taiyang!)

 

Kinda wish the cel shading was a little more cartoony than soft, though. Oh yeah, and they're still in their pre-timeskip outfits.

Oh, yay! Always awesome to get more sneak peeks into Rwby Chibi! It looks like the Chibi versions of our favorite heroes are up to more shenanigans! Penny and Neo though, just so much yes! <3

 

Wait, the 13th is tomorrow! :O

 

OMG, IT'S HAPPENING ALREADY! :D

Soundtrack for Vol. 4 is up for pre-order on iTunes, some songs available to download right away.

 

Looks like instead of an acoustic version of When It Falls, they went with an acoustic version of... Boop. I guess it makes sense given the focus of Vol. 4, but man, what a waste of a pick.

Listened to the whole thing. Overall pretty meh, but with some absolute standouts. Armed and Ready is expectedly awesome, but the real showstopper is This Life Is Mine; not only does it have poignant lyrics and melody, but it has this killer progression where it ratchets up intensity TWICE mid-song.

 

That's about it for the good stuff. Home and Bmblb are this album's All Our Days and Dream Come True, respectively (serviceable, but uninteresting); Let's Just Live still doesn't work for me as an opener, and has some weird slowdown in the back half that just kills momentum; Like Morning Follows Night is just okay (although will probably be something I like better on repeated listens i.e. It's My Turn); Jeff Williams does a decent enough solo job on Bad Luck Charm and Lusus Naturae, but probably would have benefited from a female vocalist; and remixes are remixes.

 

Boop was still a huge waste of an acoustic pick; it's a fine enough song, but definitely didn't need an acoustic version by any stretch (save that for up-tempo songs to make things interesting). Plus, it doesn't even sound like a new vocal track, or maybe I need to listen to it again.

 

7.whatever out of 10, probably the worst soundtrack by far, but with two of the best songs yet.

I didn't like Bad Luck Charm as much as I thought I would. There's just one part in it that I find good. Bumblb is a really fun song, and Like Morning Follows Night is pretty much what I expected (except they had an awesome rap part slid in there that I wasn't expecting). This Life is Mine is underwhelming as I expected, and I don't like Home that much but I think it'll grow on me. Armed and Ready is okay. I actually really like the slowed down tension in Let's Just Live.

 

I'm gonna check out the scores next, but this is basically what I expected from the RWBY OST: three or four good vocal songs, and a great score.

Hey guys, so like last time, I will be posting summary and answers to questions that were asked at RTX 2017 for the RWBY Panel for those who don't want to watch the whole video. For those who do, you can see the video here (note that unfortunately there were audio and video issues, mainly desync):

  SPOILERS: Click to reveal



First of all, at the panel, the usual seven people appeared:

  • Gray Haddock (Head of Animation at RoosterTeeth Productions, Voice of Roman Torchwick and White Fang Lieutenant)
  • Miles Luna (Co-Writer and Co-Director of RWBY, Voice of Jaune Arc)
  • Kerry Shawcross (Director and Co-Writer of RWBY, Voice of Neptune Vasilias)
  • Lindsay Jones (Voice of Ruby Rose)
  • Kara Eberle (Voice of Weiss Schnee)
  • Arryn Zech (Voice of Blake Belladonna)
  • Barbara Dunkelman (Voice of Yang Xiao Long)

Merchandise:

Questions, Answers and Another Surprise Guest (Spoilers for previous Volumes):

  SPOILERS: Click to reveal



At the end of the panel, Gray decides to show one more thing to the audience. At 45:40, a teaser for a brand new show that RoosterTeeth Animation is making known as Gen:lock, an upcoming sci-fi show with more details releasing this year but will not premiere this year.

And I'm finally done. Seriously, this took me like around 2 hours to make and I'm glad I got it done.

 

Day 2:

For those who want to see the second RWBY panel at RTX 2017, here you go:

So, this is real, and it has to do with RWBY, so...

 

Oh yeah, I think I had seen something about that somewhere on the web! I think it was on Youtube! It's awesome that Rwby is being featured! The characters from Rwby do definitely fit in a fighting game! :D

Ruby Rose for Smash 5!

 

It's pretty fitting that RWBY is in a game with Persona and BlazBlue, although I wonder if it'd be as fitting if she were in a Smash Fire Emblem game.

 

 

Gonna totally necro this, but I'm in between a rock and a hard place if I can't create a new topic...

 

I wanted to discuss RWBY's Blake character short in a moment. If you haven't seen it, here it is.

 

 

By the looks of it, Sun and Blake are STILL in Menagerie. The ending of Volume 4 never explicitly stated they were going anywhere, but it's pretty surprising that by the looks of things, they're not joining up with the rest of RWBY (we at least know Weiss and Yang are on the move, which brings Yang's wherabouts in question as well. Huh...) What do you guys think of this move? Think everyone BUT Blake and Sun will join back together in Mistral? Could the two make a one-episode transition to meet the rest? Or could something entirely different pan out for the fate of our girls?

Dang, it had been a while since I had posted here in this thread! I finally got caught up to speed on Rwby Chibi Volume 2, and I've been keeping my eye on the Rwby Volume 5 trailers! Seeing the Blake short, it was awesome, and it looks like we're getting some more story, based on what we watched here. As for Blake and Sun reuniting with Rwby and the gang, it seems as though that won't be the case yet. I think our heroines won't reunite for a while, maybe halfway through Volume 5 or maybe possibly even towards the end, ya know?

 

Also, I'm loving how the animation gets better and better with each Volume!
