I'm gonna be real I didn't think you guys would continue with this, but I am SO glad you did.

[@bradstrife2211]

RWBY may not have had much of a budget during the early days, but Monty's heart and soul is in there the whole way giving it this outstanding spirit.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

☺️ can tell it’s a passion project

[@Neofelis131]

Also interesting fact the talented girl who sings the songs for the majority of this series sung this intro when she was 14. Absolutely incredible

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Oh wow 😯 impressive 🤩

[@chb2551]

Yep. She was only 12 when she sang the song for the Red Trailer. The series wasn't picked up until after she'd turned 14. The musician/composer for the series is her dad and her mom sings the Part 2 of Red Like Roses (Part 1 was the music for the Red trailer) Going into it's 9th season (Volume) she's still the singer for the series. You get to listen to her voice mature throughout the series.

[@techmogametime6419]

SUGGESTION: Seasons 1&2 episodes are very short so maybe for the first 2 seasons you can try to react to two chapters per video. CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR REACTIONS.

[@thelazygamer1639]

@@axxjazz. Hopefully I'm not wrong about this, but years ago I remember Volumes 1-3 being on Netflix, but each volume was edited together, essentially you'd be watching three movies instead of three seasons. I think this was back before Volume 4 came out. I could be misremebering this entirely though. Lol

[@De_Vegi]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 ok, so. Some good news, getting into character relationships is the entirety of the first volume, and a decent chunk of the second. Also, if no one has mentioned this before, every major (and more than a few minor) character is based off of or inspired by a myth, legend, fairy tale, historical figure, etc. have fun trying to figure out who those are, and to start, I’ll give you a hint. Glynda Goodwitch. It’s in her name. Another thing to note is the music. Music is very, very important and can give you insight to a lot of different characters in RWBY, as apart from the openings, they are pretty much always from one character or another’s perspective. I highly recommend listening to the soundtrack of each volume after you’ve finished each volume. Oh, and one last thing, fairy tales are important. Wether it’s who a character is based off of or a fairy tale that exists in the world of Remnant, it’s important. There’s actually one coming up, briefly mentioned by a character reading a book. So uh. Yeah. Keep that in the back of your head for theorizing about what’s to come. Not really a whole lot else to say, other than I’m so excited to have you here with us on the journey that is RWBY. Strap in. It’s quite a ride. I await you two alongside my fellow RWBY addicts and FNDM members at the end of volume three to welcome you to the family (because no one is officially one of us until they make it through V3). Can’t wait for you to be caught up, and I’m exited to watch your journey progress

This is absolutely one of my favorite series ever I have been watching it since it came out. I’m so happy that new people are still coming in and enjoying it. I also love how you don’t cut anything out and see your genuine reaction and I hope to see more of it!

[@GReimerGaming]

I was hoping you guys would watch this after your trailers reaction. Looking forward to seeing you guys go through this rollercoaster of a show! Fun fact, the characters are based on real world stories: Ruby = Red Riding Hood, Weiss = Snow White, Blake = Beauty and the Beast, Yang = Goldilocks. This applies to literally everyone in the show. Most characters associated with Professor Ozpin are loosely based on the Wizard of Oz... Glenda Goodwitch and Ozpin himself for example. It's in their names lol. Try and figure them out as you watch! Enjoy!

[@MegaDuke4life]

You would love it. every volume gets visually more impressive and more suited to a TV length

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

😎👍😀

[@WilliamDoheny]

Happy to see you reacting to this. I love RWBY. I like how you said you got a Grimm Fairy Tales vibe from this since a lot of the characters are inspired by fairy tales. I mean, Ruby’s inspiration is very obvious.

[@chaossalad3243]

“What happened to the moon?” Congratulations, you’re now a RWBY fan

[@spikewolfenheart5406]

'This is the day we waited for'. And it came a little faster than I thought it would, thought we would be waiting for your RWBY reactions for a while considering all the other stuff you had going on. Just a heads up if you don't know already episodes 2&3, 4&5, 6&7, 9&10, 11&12, 13&14 are episodes that was cut in two and should be watched together or basically any episode that has a part 2 in it should be watched together with the one before it. It was released this way cuz there was a very small staff with not a lot of money working on it and it was taking too long to develop with little show, so Monty started cutting certain episodes in half when finished and started releasing them that way so they wouldn't have long gaps between uploads, Vol 1 is the only one that does this. Cuz they started getting into the groove and having more people help on for next volumes. So there's actually 10 chapters in Vol 1 not 16.

[@spikewolfenheart5406]

Oh also I'm pretty sure a lot of people mention this on the trailer reactions but you don't have to edit the footage for RWBY. ROOSTER TEETH really chill about people reacting to their stuff. If it gets taken down it's usually a bot or something like that and getting in contact with RT you can usually get the reaction back up

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Yup. We have the episodes paired up like that 🙂

[@knightmare3197]

It's always cool to see people start RWBY, really looking forward to seeing these reactions from you guys. The characters might start as archetypes, but they definitely develop over time really well (especially a certain Ice Queen). It's such a great series.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Looking forward to the character development in the show 🙂

[@BrittanyArtPoetry]

I’m so excited to see your reactions. A few things to note The quality of the volume jumps each season, from the shorter episodes in season one, to the kind of quality you would expect from a major animation company in season eight. Each of the characters are loosely based on a fairytale, and all of their names have some kind of color connection (the color thing is actually built into the world building, which is cool) There are world of remnant episodes which go over some of the world building, like what the average bald citizen knows about dust, Grimm, etc. It’s not necessary but lots of people find it interesting. There is also RWBY chibi which you would have to wait till after Vol 3 to see to avoid spoilers. It’s basically short and fun skits they wrote. It’s utterly brilliant and I highly recommend it. All of the music is semi canon and written for the characters. It’s music so metaphor and such apply, but there is a connection.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Thanks for all this helpful info 😀

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Oh, yeah...RWBY Chibi is like a megadose of cuteness. Not to be missed.

[@spookzter4707]

Heck yeah! Cant wait! Also, after each volume I suggest you listen to the soundtrack after. Every volume has a soundtrack, and it really helps you get into the POV of characters. Again, can’t wait!!!

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

🥳🥳😀 Thanks for the warm welcome 🙂

[@zylodus8185]

YEEEEEEEES, I am so happy you two are reacting to RWBY. I'll try to offer as much non-spoiler information throughout the series because there is plenty of things that can go over your head the first time you watch RWBY. Firstly, animation and graphics will get better with each season. Now on a very important note, all of the significant characters are based off of fairytales, mythology, folk lore, and some historical figures; we saw that the huntress that came to save Ruby is named Glynda Goodwitch, which is very obviously based off of Glinda the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz and the musical Wicked (I'll go over what the main cast is inspired by once they're all introduced). Also, it's fun to try and guess the fairytale/etc. that a character is based on (a tip for this is, most notably, the character's name often gives away what they were based off of, but sometimes they don't follow that pattern or they have 2 stories they're based on and you'll have to think about the character's personality and design, and watch for their mannerisms for the other story). So in this world, named Remnant, the people of each major kingdom, AKA city, established a school to train warriors who would go on to fight back the creatures of Grimm and protect people from any nefarious evil-doers; but before students may enroll at these academies they must first graduate from a training school, which Ruby was still in before she was moved ahead. The training schools are comparable to our high schools and the huntsman academies are like colleges. Graduating from a huntsman academy will grant the graduate a huntsman license and the title of huntsman/huntress. That'll be all for this episode, can't wait for more!

[@stevendeslauriers1369]

Ohh a new channel reacting to RWBY! Welcome aboard folks! I know you guys didn't talk about the animation much, but if it ever was in the back of your mind, don't worry about it! Each new volume (Season) it gets better and better!

[@lonewolfjedi493osswfan]

Nice to see you guys are watching RWBY, I'm a former fan of the show and watching the older episodes is nice. I remember one of you saying that one guy(name is Roman Torchwick btw) looked like the guy from A Clockwork Orange, that's what the series creator, the late Monty Oum, did, he made all the characters based off fictional characters, Ruby is based off Little Red Riding Hood, her sister, Yang Xiaolong, Goldilocks, Glynda and Ozpin, Wizard of Oz, you'll meet more. I'll watch this with you guys

[@midnightcarnivalmember]

Interesting fact, the map of Remnant was created by accident, the world map of RWBY was created by Monty Oum in 2012. It was based on ketchup smears made on a napkin he was using while at IHOP. Monty also stated that he textured the World Map by taking different pictures of food. The different foods he used included mashed potatoes, steaks, ice cream, bread, corn, cereal, ramen, shrimp, tacos, pizza, lettuce and possibly bacon.

[@savi_mess8456]

And thus the journey begins! So happy you're checking this out! Can't wait for season 3!!! (That's when the lore of this world begins as well as other....stuff.) I'm honestly so happy i've found you guys at the very beginning of your journey. (edit) You are correct in your connection to grimes fairytales, all the characters have someone they are based on like Ruby--> little red riding hood, etc. This is a show you're going to be doing quite a bit of post discussion on once it picks up, I am really excited to see you meet all the characters and guess who they are based on! Good Luck and once again Welcome to RWBY

[@Putrefax]

RWBY is definitely one of those shows that gets better the further in you go. You can actually see the animation quality go up by leaps and bounds every season. Season one was just a small team and it looks great for what they accomplished with such a small budget. As you've probably guessed by now, pretty much every character in this show is based (either loosely or not-so-loosely) on a character from a fairy tale or other story, some aren't even subtle about how their names directly reference their own inspiration. Ruby's parallels with Red Riding Hood are pretty obvious, but its a fun game to try and figure out who's based on what.

[@negansnegan]

HOW DID I JUST SEE THIS ?? IM SO EXCITED !! I hope you guys enjoy this series just as much as I do !!

[@gamefisher2419]

After each volume, you should listen to the soundtrack for that volume with the lyrics since all the songs are pretty good and story relevant giving a deeper understanding of the characters and what they're feeling and their past hardships, Weiss's (white) songs are especially good. There are channels on youtube that upload good lyric videos such as FlyntofRWBY, though he stopped making them a few years ago and is missing some of the songs from earlier volumes, his are still probably the best since he also got the lyrics directly from the song writer instead of guessing them just from listening.

[@spikewolfenheart5406]

Sirs and Madams Entertainment is also a great channel to find lyric videos for the later volumes that FlyntofRWBY doesn't cover.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Thanks for the recommendation 🙂

[@TheZero1312]

Welcome to RWBY!!! Every major character is based off a fairy tale, characters from mythology or historical figures. For example, Ruby is Little Red Riding Hood, Weiss is Snow White, Blake is Belle from Beauty and the Beast and Yang is Goldilocks.

This is an amazing show, I'm so glad you decided to react to it! You've probably already been told, but the chapters in Volumes 1 & 2 are very short, it might be best to do multiple chapters in one video, but that's up to you guys. There are also some side series' to RWBY too, there's World of Remnant which explains things in the world (of Remnant) which is usually watched around volume 2/3, and RWBY Chibi, which is a comedy series, the first series of which you should only watch after Volume 3. Also PLEASE do the soundtracks, Jeff & Casey (who do the music) are amazing and pretty much all of the songs they do are astounding. They also give you an insight into characters/scenarios that you probably won't see in the show. Anyways, loved this! I always love to see more RWBY reactors joining the fandom, SOO can't wait to see more from you two!

[@Badger77722]

Did you recognize the voice of the narrator at the beginning of the episode? It's Jen Taylor, who is the voice actor for Cortana in the Halo video game series. Each season ("volume" in RWBY-speak) of RWBY has a new theme song, but the first episode ("chapter") is always a cold start, where the theme doesn't play until the end of the episode. From then on, the theme will play at the beginning of each episode in the season.

[@agentmaryland1239]

Honestly this is a really great show and I definitely recommend watching all the way through. Though, with the exception of longer vids (some get upwards to about 15+ minutes long, so if you're wanting to keep the reaction vids shortish, then one at a time for those) I recommend watching 2 at a time, because some of them really tie into one another. This is one of those shows that starts out pretty light but really hits the story hard. And yes, there are a *lot* of references to be found from myths, legends, and folklore to fairy tales and magical creatures. Also, this series has a lot of voices from the well known and loved series Red vs Blue, so if you ever chance a glance at that, you might hear some familiar voices!

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

[@whenwordsfailmusicspeaks246]

The first season has a lot of 2 part episodes. The usually guide people use to react to the first season is as follows: Ep 1 + intro Ep 2 + 3 Ep 4 + 5 Ep 6 + 7 Ep 8 Ep 9 + 10 Ep 11 + 12 Ep 13 + 14 Ep 15 + 16 Some react to ep 15 and 16 seperately. Also a lot of reactors react with the closed caption on. RWBY can be watched 2 ways. At its face value or play mystery theater with it. There are a lot of clues in the show (in scenes, dialogue, music, etc) as to whom people are based on (myths, legends, other shows, etc) what is going on around the characters (sometimes off camera) and foreshadowing.

[@Drakefance5]

Its a fun series that always surprises people. Hopefully you will enjoy it as much as i did. Always fun to watch them through anothers eyes. Also its nice that Rooster Teeth loves people reacting so you dont need to edit the show down. If KZbin tries to copyright, talking to RoosterTeeth will usually clear it right up.

A lot of weapons use Dust as ammunition or other such augmentations. - Huntsmen & Huntresses: Warriors trained to protect the world from threats like the Grimm. People are trained in at least two specialized academies to become Huntsmen and Huntresses.

the animation for the first two seasons is a bit on the low quality end but it get better after :)

Another great RWBY reaction, which means another subscription for me. Looking forward to watching your guy's RWBY journey.

Welcome 🤗🙂🥳

[@adrianarballo179]

I'm glad to see if you were people starting to get into the Rwby series.

[@butterflywarrioredits]

This is my favorite anime ever! So glad you’re reacting to it. As you may or may not have noticed the background characters are just silhouettes in the early seasons due to budget cuts and not having a lot of staff, but with it getting a lot of popularity, them hiring more staff, and having a higher budget, they made production a lot better. I also will admit with Monty’s passing the fighting sequences do lack that certain touch Monty had in them when he was alive, but that doesn’t mean that they are terrible now. If you continue watching this you’ll see what I mean.

rip monty oum, taken long before his time

*FNDM Kicks door open* SomeBODY ONECE TOLD ME THAT YOU WERE WATCHING RWBY! And yes Torchwick's design was inspired by Malcom McDowell's character in Clockwork Orange, alot of people miss that on first viewing, so good job!

[@spikewolfenheart5406]

And Torchwick is also partly inspired by Romeo Candlewick aka Lampwick from Pinocchio.

[@AutumnWoodham]

Just aheads up, a few episodes in Volume 1, Shining Beacon, The First Step, The Emerald Forrest, The Badge and The Burden, Jaundice, and Forever Fall, got cut into two parters simply out of time constraint and when put together make up the average episode length.

[@MigliLovania]

Torchwick is actually inspired by clockwork orange , just as rwby are inspired by fairytale every character has some sort of tale or legend inspiration some more obvious than others

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

😎👍🙂

[@BNuts]

Yes, Roman Torchwick's design _is_ based on the character from _A Clockwork Orange_ . Along with Lampwick from _Pinocchio_ . All _RWBY_ characters have some basis in fairy tales, fables, legends, popular culture, and even memes. It's something of a game to guess them all. So today you've also met Professor Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch. Wanna guess their basis? It's possible to draw a whole bunch of parallels between the worlds of _RWBY_ and _Honkai Impact 3rd_ . But than again, stories centered around magic and/or superpower schools where students learn to fight monsters that want to destroy humanity is a pretty popular story basis.

[@Media_Paradox]

Roman is a reference to the Clockwork Orange. Most if not all of the characters are based on fairy tales, fables, or other old stories or people. Some are obvious, like Ruby being "Little Red Riding Hood" while others are more thought intensive.

[@sunguardianryohei]

Point to mention, the animations do get better with each season along with the episode length (The earlier ones do get rather short) and sometimes there's even a new VA in the later series Not to mention that the music in this show is the absolute best The narrator in the beginning is also the voice of Cortana from Halo for example

[@Jessimi1]

A few things to know (no spoilers): Everything is a gun. The art improves over time and the 'shadow people' eventually come into the modern world of color. Most characters are based off a fairy tale, some more obvious than most. Welcome to the world of RWBY and I hope you enjoy the ride! Hopefully people wont spoil too much. Loved the reaction and looking forward to more.

[@stancinatti8198]

So hype can’t wait for future volumes and VOLUME 9 with u guys also just a motto that everybody knows everything’s a gun

[@Drakefance5]

RWBY's fun, Kinda dropped off the show around volume 4-5 but before then was having a blast.

[@sirvanscoy]

As a fun tidbit... RWBY is 15, Yang is 17... And they're going to what is effectively monster hunting college

[@dodobird2575]

rwby is and still is one of my altime favorite series i started it years ago i think around the time they were on volume 3 or 4 i dont remember to well i just know i loved it for a while now and when you said it was a mix of grims fairy tales and harry potter your right cause the grims fairytales where a HUGE inspiration in the creators writing of the show (rip) as well as kingdom hearts and alot of other inspirations but none the less i hope you enjoy the series because it is special in my heart loved your reaction ❤

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Oh nice. We loved playing Kingdom Hearts and can see some inspiration from that 🙂😀

[@Kipdav]

Fun fact.. the lady in the red dress in the bad guys plane is my favourite character in the series

[@spikewolfenheart5406]

Really? Don't see that much, good for you, she gets a lot of unnecessary hate for the wrong reasons.

[@Kipdav]

@@spikewolfenheart5406 yesssss always loved her! One of the coolest in terms of powers and combat and a cool backstory ect and what happens 🫢 Her ad Weiss 🫶

[@Stormkrow280]

Apparently they were going to fill this show with a lot of pop culture references, for example right after the prologue you can see the Fourth Doctor’s scarf hanging from a clothes line and of course there’s Truth from Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood on the back of one of the magazines, but this was the only episode in which they did that. Also all the characters are based on fairytales, literature, or historical figures.

[@kittykatclaws1237]

AH. I'm SO excited for this!! RWBY is my favorite show of all time!
