RWBY - Better than I could have dreamed
Apr. 28th, 2014 01:54 pmIt took me a while to get around to watching this. The original trailer really intrigued me, but it took a while for the show to be released. I watched it over the weekend.
Holy crap! I know they blended several tools together, but composing the whole thing in Poser boggles my mind. I had a hand at playing with an early build of Poser, and I don't know if the tool improved, but being able to do any of this in it really is impressive to me. It's bueatiful on that level.
The story/world building itself is at least entertaining. The Monster Hunting weapons are fun, the big action sequence is really satisfying, and the Student Drama sections are at least passable. It's been really entertaining. I hope they do get through and finish the second season.
And the *ear worm* that is the opening song is really good. We have a Soprano who you don't lose to being airy, it keeps the kind of pacing and rifting of J-Rock openers without being too corny, and the lyrics are pretty solid if you really are into Fantasy RPG type stuff.
Seriously, I didn't expect anything this good from Rooster Teeth. Ever. It's really worth checking out their youtube channel.
