ACTUAL BANGERS? - RWBY all openings 1-8 - VTuber Reacts

[@chloerodriguez5238]

The girl that’s singing was 14 when she started on the show.9 years later she still does almost all the songs with the exception of some of her dad and a few guest appearances

[@ThePsychosocialite]

And before that she did a few songs for Red vs Blue for a couple of years prior to RWBY.

[@LastBaws]

@@ThePsychosocialite that was when she was 11 lol

[@sqxbarto9229]

She was 12 when they recorded the first RWBY songs.

[@johnsmith5922]

The series is American made and all in English but was given a japanese dub. It's about teams of heroes fighting monsters with unique weapons and what you see is what you get. Started on a low budget and grew and changes to a new software in season 4 which is why improves so drastically. The openings are sung by the same girl from when she was 15 til today in her 20s with her dad composing the music and doing background vocals.

[@Stefinitely]

Wow! That's actually really cool! Thanks for letting me know!

[@alannorris3819]

Her mom also joins in for a few songs.

[@chb2551]

@@Stefinitely Actually. Casey Lee Williams, the daughter of the composer/musician sang the Red Trailer song, "Red Like Roses part 1," as well as "part 2" with her mom, when she was 12 years old. She sang the music for the first season when she was 14.

[@TheNoybusiness]

@@Stefinitely I hope you do check RBWY out, it's well worth it! And maybe the Volume 9 opening. Volume aired recently.

[@DD-373]

A little sad fact: In the 4th OP there's the line "Move Onward Not There Yet." It's a play on the line "Keep Moving Forward" which was a line often said by the original creator Monty Oum. Take the first letter of The version from the song and you get MONTY. Sadly Monty passed away in 2015 around the beginning of Volume 3

[@bob-iu3jb]

i dint know that damn

[@Amorcaecus-Est]

I know you posted this like 9 months ago, but I’m turning this video into a drinking game and each time you say “watch now by the way” I’m taking a shot.

[@Dark-ux4bi]

the sudden realization at the end that all the openings were in english lmao

[@jdoggivjc]

As I mentioned in the previous post, since the posting of this video a legitimate RWBY anime has been announced, called RWBY Ice Queendom. It will be animated by Shaft, and puts the Japanese dubbing cast center stage. It appears to be a reboot of Vol 1, if not the entire franchise as a whole. This announcement would have been Monty Oum’s dream come true. Unfortunately he’s not alive to see it realized.

[@bthsr7113]

Eh, it looks like they're doing some weird shit that definitely wasn't in the one Monty actually worked on.

[@g.r.4459]

I don't really like what little I saw, I mean, the anime acts as if the Grimm were a new threat when they existed on the planet BEFORE humanity.

[@g.r.4459]

Or at least, that's what the first episode sounds like

[@daysand123]

Rwby has its ups and downs. V4 and V5 are very hit or miss for various reasons but it picks the fuck up after.

[@Stefinitely]

Good to know! I'll keep it in mind if I ever watch it!

[@TheZero1312]

If you decide to watch the show, watch the red, white, black and yellow trailers first. They introduce you to the four main characters.

[@natethegreat2989]

Each volumes animation gets better and better each volume but there's a big jump in quality starting vol 4 due to them switching from Poser to the Maya engine.

[@jamesonyamato1455]

You should react to it. Rooster Teeth is completely fine with it. The fights and the soundtrack in the show are all A tier

[@captainomega6315]

Great series the animation starts out rough but gets better over time and the story gets really dark as it progresses and I love it.

[@l0ki_lux947]

10:13 yes all the openings are english lol.

[@l0ki_lux947]

9:12 every opening looks like chapter the opening is in which you're watching in order and also means they've been upgrading the animation. So to answer your question yes on the first question you asked. They are not different from the show they're the same just to be clear.

[@therandomcorndog6185]

Listening back to back the tone changes between some openings Like 5 to 6 is kinda weird but they both fit the moods of the volume so well it makes total sense when actually watching Also when volume 8 op does the happy ever after and crossed em off for happy never again they ment it 😮‍💨🥲

[@lunarose3100]

Funny thing is as of tomorrow ( for RT and Crunchyroll members) A anime version of this series is coming out made by Studio Shaft.

[@LegoHero10000]

Another awesome thing is that the singers father pretty much made all the songs in the series

[@revengehunter0184]

I'd say it's worth giving the anime a go. Although it is worth keeping in mind that Volume 1 was from back in 2013, and that there is a watching order for the main chapters and side content, if you want to keep on top of it all. As of right now, Volume 9 hasn't been released yet, but should be coming soon.

[@Nateblu3]

If you do get into the show: -> each of the characters/monsters is based on a myth, fairy tale, or mythological creature. So you can try to guess what belongs to what while watching the show. -> at least watch up until rwby ep 8, to decide if you want to continue the show

[@sqxbarto9229]

There is a character based on a meme :D Ep 8, I see what you did there ;)

[@thedarkmonarch]

Season 9 is coming out in a couple weeks! Get ready!

[@CatDuckChu]

XD i had the biggest BRUH moment when you asked have they all been in english XD

[@AnimeFreakX4]

The music was done by a father daughter team. Yes the early seasons were ruff with what they were using Poser but then switched to a Maya engine after volume. Since the show is based off of fairy tales they call seasons volumes and episodes chapters. Sadly the shows creator died Monty Oum died after the 2nd season and it was up to his friends to continue his dream. The monsters are called Grimm based on the brothers Grimm. There are different types each with their own name. Schools formed to train people to fight the Grimm and become huntsman and huntresses. Most characters are based on fairy tale characters or mythology. The 4 main girls are Ruby Rose (the girl in red) she is based on little red riding hood. Weiss Schnee (the girl with white hair) she is based on snow white and her name is German for white snow. Blake Belladonna (the girl in black) is based on Bell and the beast from beauty and fhe beast. Finally there is Yang Xaio Long (the blonde girl) she is Ruby's older half sister. They have the same dad but different moms. Yang is based on Goldie locks. The headmaster of their school is Ozpin based on the great and powerful Oz. His vice head mistress is Glynda Goodwitch based on Glenda the good witch. Some characters based on mythology are Jaune Arc (the blonde guy) he is based on Joan of Arc, Pyrrha Nikkos (the red head from volumes 1 -3) is based off of Achilles. Infact in the story of Achillies when he was hiding out as a woman he called himself Pyrrha. Nora Valkyrie (the ginger girl) is based on a female version of Thor. Li Ren (the guy in green with black hair and pink highlight) he is based on a male version of Mulan.

[@l0ki_lux947]

I know I'm late but here we go, it's about 4 Teenage girls form Team RWBY and train to fight crime and monsters known as the Grimm, while the world of Remnant remains on the brink of an all out war. The story takes place in the world of Remnant, which is filled with supernatural forces and shadowy creatures known as the Grimm. But it gets much deeper than that as you can see from all openings that the songs tone/lyrics change every new Chapter.

[@chb2551]

The Red Trailer was a proof of concept pitch to the managers of the company. Monty did the CG animation by himself while Casey Lee Williams, who was 12 yo at the time, sang the song that her dad wrote and performed the instrumentation for. The 1st season was animated by 4 people with the voice actors being employees working for the company. For example, the front desk receptionist was asked by Monty if she'd thought about trying voice acting. She hadn't, so he asked her to give it a try. She voices Weiss, one of the main 4 characters in the series. They've become very good VAs over the period of the series. Each season got a larger budget and more animators which is why the animation and detail has gotten better every season. Monty Oum was considered to be one of the best fight choreographers ever seen in animation. Unfortunately, between season 2 and 3 he had an allergic reaction and the doctors gave him a medication to try to counteract it that caused an even stronger reaction. He died because of it. It's extremely sad that he never got to see his series progress to where it's been considered the first anime series to be exported to Japan with their own VA dub. He was the VA for one of the characters. After his death, his brother was asked to do the character and he has been doing it ever since. You should check out some of the famous VA artists who have done the series. You can actually buy the series on Blue Ray or DVD in Walmart if you aren't interested in streaming it. Currently, there's ads for a 2d Japanese anime series based on RWBY. It will be starting it's 9th season this year. It was delayed by a year due to Covid. Again, it's heartbreaking that he wasn't able to see how successful his dream became.

[@thedarkmonarch]

Reminder its coming out in just a couple weeks!

[@pokeloon15]

There's full versions of the songs if you are interested.

[@ghost_1176]

Rwby Is my favorite show I love it!

[@MegaDuke4life]

One thing that is very consistent between the opening and show is the animation quality. Which you see how vastly better they got through the seasons Also side note they are making a 2D anime of RWBY in a couple weeks

[@CatDuckChu]

would you react to the original trailers to the show? i just looked and you havent done any follow up reactions so was just curious

[@TamTam-ew8gw]

For each series the art style and animation improves give it a chance and see what you think

[@bruce4623]

At first it was the *Original Character Shorts* , than later on people reacting to the *Volume Openings* have created new RWBY Fans *You noticing the Animation change* In Volume 4 they changed over to a newer animation software Oh during volume 1 all non characters were just shadow people.. And at first the chapters were very short, but they got long and ended up with a 15 to 20 minute length after a few volumes *Yes* it is in English

[@kiritoliger468]

You should this banger series Rooster Teeth is completely fine you watching it with no filters at all and uncut along with their soundtracks plus the soundtracks carry story in them that actually tell more aboutthe characters and their back stories, they actually promote it.

[@g.r.4459]

Your asking what the show is about, but you are watching the openings... For long-term fans, consider the opening to know if the season is going to end well or leave you in tears because character deaths are coming. Of course, not every opening is crystal clear, one pointed out how the opening for vol. 7 is like a warning similar to those in greek tradegies

[@midnightcarnivalmember]

Volume one of the series had a limited budget, and due to the success of the first volume they were given a larger budget allowing them for more details in the series.

[@xerofire]

This is the first time I’ve seen someone not like This Will Be the Day. Not that there’s anything wrong with that but I thought it was interesting.

[@sealytheseal8417]

FYI: you don't have to blur the video, roosterteeth likes when people react to their stuff.

[@Storm_Soulfighter]

Interesting now I got to try RWBY

[@Stefinitely]

Happy to introduce you!

[@Storm_Soulfighter]

@@Stefinitely thanks

[@thelast5warriorsoftheworld546]

You should start by Watching the Red and White and Black and Yellow trailers in that order then Volumes 1,2,3 and after Vol 3 there is a character short you have to watch and then watch Vol 4 and after watching Vol 4 you have to watch 3 character shorts and then Vol 5 and then another character short and you can watch Vol 6,7,8 and there are also 3 RWBY books the first one takes place after Vol 3 until Vol 6 and the second one you can read after watching Vol 7 or Vol 8 and the third book is about the backstory of two characters you can read it after watching Vol 7 or Vol 8.

[@noox13]

10:13 Yes they were all in English. XD

[@JJR93]

Volumes 1-2 can be viewed by even young children; Volume 3 onward not so much, as things take a darker turn, and you can probably tell that just by these openings.

[@ryanedgerton1982]

Having seen the openings, I *highly* recommend you check out the trailers next. There are four trailers, each highlighting one of the main characters. Best one to start with is the Red Trailer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poq6Y3qjfadortU

[@Error380-x6c]

9:33 both

[@JJR93]

Sidebar, usual anime rules apply....so these openings are slightly spoiler-y at times. Also, every volume of RWBY starts with a cold open and the OP is actually the ED for the first chapter. Lastly, the last chapter of every volume except 7 has a post-credits "teaser" for the next volume.

[@JJR93]

The character designs/art in the openings are identical to the show....WYSIWYG. The animation gets better every volume.

[@Stefinitely]

Thanks for all the info! Much appreciate you taking the time to let me know!

[@lovelyunknown]

Lmao Volume 7 not having one made me get mad a little! I WAS SO READY AND THEN NOTHING.

[@Crazycoyote-we7ey]

Here's a question you should ask What happened to the RED HEADED GIRL? To find out what happened to her watch the show P.s The Creator passed away before volume 3 aired

[@KitsyX]

Sorry this is a bit long, but hopefully it's helpful ^_^;; It's a bit of a flawed show that started off on a tiny budget with a pretty small team of animators who were probably amateurs, using Poser, which probably wasn't totally the best software for them to animate with lol... But the show still has a lot of heart put into it and the creator, Monty Oum, sure knew how to put a cool fight scene together... Sadly he died while they were working on volume/season 3...Still some cool fights after that though, especially once you get to volumes 6 and 7... Some people really enjoy one that's in volume 4, although 4 and 5 are a bit divisive or less liked (5 especially... Possibly some funds and talent were diverted to Gen: Lock at the time). The world has a bit of a Final Fantasy vibe... A mix of fantasy and high tech... Maybe FF8 is the closest... But also, pretty much every important character is loosely based on a fairy tale/legendary/mythical/literary/nursery rhyme character, so there's that element of fairy tales too... Some are obvious... Maybe you noticed the main character's red hood?... It's far from perfect but you can kinda tell they put a lot of love into it... All sorts of easter eggs and foreshadowing... The soundtracks are full of songs that expand on characters and such... Plus many are just bops lol. If you do feel like trying the show out, the first thing to check out the Red, White, Black and Yellow trailers... They're more character shorts than trailers, with all original footage... But they are also early work (the red trailer was Monty's proof of concept, I think, which he mostly did by himself)... If you then feel like getting into the show itself, you may want to consider watching the movie version of the first volume, if you can find it... Some of the episodes got split in two for budget reasons or something, so some are super short... But still have the opening lol. I don't mind, it's a great song, but still... If you feel like reacting to it, Rooster Teeth are cool with full, unedited, reactions (though for later seasons you may need to contact them to get your videos unblocked... Depending how you format it, they may not even claim revenue lol).

[@Stefinitely]

Thanks for taking the time to write all this!

[@NikkonekoVT]

RWBY and Vtubers my two favorite things :D

[@chloerodriguez5238]

You should react to the show the company is fine with reactions all though I know KZbin will mess up and take it down sometimes but an email to rooster teeth and they fix it.Plus as a bonus rwby reactions usually do well on views

[@randumo24]

The openings in 3 & 8 really do kinda give away that things are going to shit in those volumes.

[@jessequeen4550]

“I tend to prefer 2D over 3D” says the 3D model lmao. Not a criticism, I just thought it was funny

[@CLONE-223]

Hopefully u can join the rwby community cause we are open for new fans ❤❤🎉🎉 I also hopw u watch the trailers too 🎉😎👌

[@natepagano1394]

Lol everything is in English

[@Stefinitely]

Haha I noticed when I was editing the video, I just completely didn't register the lyrics before

[@LostInfernoFireDragon]

Could you react to the anime opening Bofuri I don't want to get hurt, so I'll max out my defense.

[@jdoggivjc]

Regardless of one’s opinion on the series overall - love or hate - most would agree that the OSTs for this series are very good. Casey Lee Williams has essentially been the singing voice of this series from the beginning - and she was 13 years old when she started recording for Vol 1. I am a big fan of this series, but I’m not one of those fans that pretends the series isn’t without its flaws. Vols 5 and 6 are by far the weakest of the series, and I think it was because this is where the death of Monty Oum (the series’ creator), who died during the production of Vol 3, began to show in the story. It was like all direction was lost and they were trying to find their footing and a new direction. They have somewhat recovered in Vols 7 and 8 IMO. The animation for Vol 1 is pretty terrible - until you realize that they had a budget that couldn’t even buy shoestrings and the spent most of the money on fight choreography. When you have that context it’s actually pretty incredible what they pulled off. Vol 3 is probably the peak of the series. It really showed how great this series could have been. While Vols 7 and 8 don’t reach those heights, it shares a lot of the same tone that made Vol 3 so good. Since you posted this video, a legitimate RWBY anime has been announced, called RWBY Ice Queendom. It will be animated by Shaft (Mongatari and Madoka Magica), and appears to be a reboot of Vol 1, if not the entire series, and the Japanese dubbing cast is taking center stage for this. If nothing else, I’m looking forward to this for “General Esdeath” Weiss alone.

[@rikilie5541]

Please do more

[@Crazycoyote-we7ey]

Rule number one of RWBY NEVER EVER TALK TO FANS they are extremely toxic about everything even ships If you are going to react to the show shutoff the comments section

[@micketm3]

Why the censoring ?_? ... also lots of spoilers :)) If you do a reaction to the series, starting with the trailers... 👍 Its a must see :)

[@SylverQrow]

Adblock xD get the raid

[@omega9216]

Have you not been listening to the opening this entire time? Than whats the point of this reaction?

[@Stefinitely]

There's a difference between listening to the music and understanding the lyrics! I usually react to Japanese anime openings, so my brain was expecting the songs to be Japanese, and thus did not register the lyrics AT ALL until half way through. Thanks for watching!

[@aneetlyfe3844]

Most hype show of all time. So good. Please react to it asap 😭
