RWBY

I really liked the hybrid 2D/3D art style. In fact, a lot of this series feels like a hybrid. There are influences from anime, science fiction, video games and other animated series. However, the story and style are very focused. The visual quality is not so great to start with but it improves as the series goes on. The characters are compelling and funny. This is a show that grows on you.

So I really only watched this because it wasn't my turn to choose our next family show. I don't care for anime in general, but I do love a good story told well. The animation is rough at first, but even that is just kind of cool. Seasons 1 and 2 are character and world building. Then season 3+, the show gets truly amazing. They're artful with the death and gore instead of bloody and gross, so even though the fights are intense (and definitely have consequences for the warrior heroes), it isn't bloody and realistic. Beasts break into ash when killed, and blood is shown like rose petals most of the time. The story is extremely good as it moves forward. I went in just thinking I would watch because my daughter and husband liked it, but I truly liked it far more than I thought I would.

RWBY is absolutely amazing and we should all be happy that Monty Oum left us with such an inspiring masterpiece and it is the perfect mixture of anime and western animations. I have been a fan of it for about a year now and it is now one of my favourite shows, it has amazing fight scenes, great and realistic dialogue, amazing music (thanks Jeff Williams), and shows tremendous character growth and development. I don't want to get into details due to the endangerment of spoilers but give it a chance, watch a few episodes then start to form your opinion, let it take you on the adventure and you will be thankful, trust me. Overall I give it a 9.1/10.

I've come to expect a lot out of Roosterteeth, and their attempt at an anime show worried me. The first episode of RWBY did have me worried, with a bizarre animation style and story. The action was cool and the voice acting spot on, but I was still worried. Now, I am through season 2 and I love it. The music is great, the story is interesting, and the animation fits the show perfectly. While the episodes are short, they do rival their TV counterparts in quality and length doesn't make a difference. RWBY is better quality than Cartoon Network shows and is definitely worth the watch. It stands up to RT's Red vs Blue, and is more family friendly. The main characters are very good and can be related to. This show is overall very awesome, but it does have an acquired taste. It isn't for everyone, but everyone should give it a shot.

RWBY is everything to disguise itself as an anime. It has plenty of over the top action, a complex story, amazing characters, humorous and emotional voice acting, 3D CGI Animation done right.

Plot/Summary: The story is set in a world called Remenant a world where Humans and Animal like Humanoids called Faunus live in fear from Monsters called Grimm.

Ruby must join up with her sister Yang and her friends Weiss and Blake to become Huntresses through Beacon Acadeny watch as they deal with obstacles that change outcome of the story.

9/10 I watched 5 Seasons Of RWBY and it really is one of my top favorite animated shows. You want to see some action, humor, and amazing characters watch this show.
