[@SovietMarmalade]

thatonestupidguy Yeah! I thought I was the only one who feels this way! I do adore the new animation and the use of Maya in Volume 4. Fighting scenes are great too but they just don't have the charm, speed or "oomph" that Monty Oum's fight scenes had.

[@Ironicallyskitz]

Volume 3 was the worst of it. Vol 4 fights haven't been bad so far. It's hard to describe what makes the vol 4 fights not as good as monty's. Idk, it just seems to lack the impact/power monty's fights had if that makes sense.

[@Shelbert88]

When Monty was in charge he went through and mapped out every inch of the choreography so it felt a lot more real and hard hitting. Now the fights are made just like Anime fights. A lot of cuts and pans to save budget on more superficial details. I think the fights in 3 were still decent, especially Torchwick and Ruby's, I only just noticed the big differentiation after the Tyrion fight

[@KyleMDorr]

[@Ineedgames]

They need to fix a lot of things this season. 1. Characters: The character designs are nice but the characters them self's are boring. 2. Comedy: Feels too forced. 3. Story: That bully ark was weak. The action it self is gold and is the only reason to watch it.

[@marcusalm7350]

Was the gold-pun intentional? ;)

[@athest7]

All writing in the series is weak, and that's not something they can blame on the budget.

[@goclbert]

The music is also on point. But yeah the writing definitely could have been better last season.

[@braxton6149]

Here is the thing. It's been explained many times before and I'll be happy to do it again. It was volume 1. As people starting out with something that is a completely new idea, and with it being as small of a team as the RWBY team, AND having to do RVB as well and RWBY, they have a LOT of stuff to work on. Plus with it being the first volume of the first season, characters have to get established, introduced, and their storylines have to be thought out as to please everyone. And it's not your typical anime either, each episode running about 5 minutes long on average. So you really have to take into account the multiple aspects of how RWBY is made and how the show is doing. Just a small thought.

[@athest7]

***** So essentially fanboyism, pretending that the flaws don't exist. The bad writing is not an opinion, it is just something that is. You might as well argue that the animation was great.

[@GhostStealth590]

It is really crazy going down memory lane as this was so pivotal during my teen years. RIP Monty. He really had a vision for animation and if he would see the tools we had today, he would go absolutely nuts. He was a creative purely and sadly the tools weren't refined as they are now, he'd be an industry titan. It's so utterly sad to see him go so early and I lament his death so much even into my 20's.

[@PittBullBytes]

Fewer episodes though

[@chickenlogo17]

Rudy Sanchez Not really, volume 1 was ten episode split into 16 parts so if this is 12 full length episodes it's 2 longer.

[@PittBullBytes]

ChickenLogo correction. 10 chapters, not episodes. There are 16 episodes in volume 1 equaling 10 full chapters. 16e=10ch=Vol1. Volume 2 is probably 12 episodes with 12 chapters with the episodes being a chapter long

[@brigadeleaderharuhisuzumiy8589]

I first started with RWBY Volume 2, cause a friend told me about this show. And I happened to stumble upon Volume 2 DVD and Blu-Ray copie at an Anime store one day. So I decided to give it a try. What started getting me into RWBY was the music, characters. And fight scenes. Espically the food fight in Season 2. Ever since than I been a fan years later. And to this day Volume 2's opening is still a banger to listen to.

[@KyleMDorr]

Does anyone feel like RWBY kind of has that Naruto feel to it... not character wise, but plot wise. Starts off by pairing an unlikely amount of people together, then leads to an epic battle by the team to show how well they work together, there's some dispute between 2 of the main characters, then soon later the teams enter into a battle-royale tournament (Chuunin Exam) that involves teams from other lands... that's all that I can say so far, but it's pretty coincidental though, right?

[@athest7]

Generalize that much and you'll have every show ever.

I love how the malachite twins and Junior are in the "enemies are gathering" part like they were gonna be big threats

[@nacho444xd]

Yeah lol, but i prefer they didn't cause they would probably got ruined

[@DamonFyrian]

Oh, you have no idea how much I have been hoping that Monty would make a season/volume 2.

[@angelod2]

Brayden Dargel Thanks alot Captain Obvious'

[@natchu9676]

*looks at RWBY playlist* *sees a bunch of Volume 2 production diaries* . . . well at least you noticed the awesome at all, that's good! :D

[@Kidblu96]

I'm surprised no-one has pointed out the fight between JNPR and CRDL. Assuming, as many already have, that Beacon is destroyed, I think team CRDL could well join with Cinder and Torchwick, and become more than casual antagonists. I also quite like the not-so-holy Ozpin (but maybe not quite evil) theory, and maybe Cinder Fall killed Summer Rose (Ruby's mum).

[@LiveAndSound]

I doubt CRDL will become antagonists. Roman and Cinder are smart enough to know they would just be a pain in the ass. Though maybe they'll pretend to let CRDL join them so they can distract team JNPR and/or RWBY and then left for dead. CRDL could also end up becoming part of the good guys, or at least Cardin, since the other 3 guys ran away and didn't received the aesop. If they become good guys, then I'm sure they'll be the butt monkeys.

[@jackfrost1759]

Pause at 00:38 is that also team CRDL in the attack force.

[@Kidblu96]

Early Crawdad Indeed it is. I guess that means they will essentially be protagonists, even if they're still assholes. Well spotted

[@goliem]

I think it will be part of tournament. They mentioned it before.

[@Kidblu96]

goliem Maybe, but I imagined the tournament would focus more on inter-region battles.

[@sjcrocker98]

Anybody notice Jaune reaching out to Pyrrha instead of vice-versa in the last opening?

[@rei_30]

I guess in this season, we will see jaune having a big impact on pyra's life.

[@VelocityHeadshot]

Had to come back and watch this intro to remind myself how great it was. That volume 3 intro though....rip

[@hunter121347]

The song sucks. but the animation tho

[@alextuju2251]

+Hyssop how does the song suck

[@hunter121347]

this opening generally made me so happy

[@magenta_mer-goat86]

Behold: the most popular intro song of RWBY (and well earned at that)!

[@CABRALFAN27]

After all these years, this is still probably my favorite RWBY OP, and the song in particular is absolutely phenomenal.

[@BenjerminGaye]

No anime opening is complete without a skydiving scene. This one has 2.

[@Nick-mg7ow]

well said

[@norightturn7047]

Monty Oum is so awesome for bringing us something so good and Rooster Teeth is awesome for keeping it going. We should all be so lucky as to be able to touch so many people with something we create. R.I.P. Monty Oum.

[@alex-gm2pf]

He was and still is a legend, he will be missed.

[@alex-gm2pf]

He was and still is a legend, he will be missed.

[@wavfro]

Just now realizing that in the first opening Pyrrah puts his hand on Jaune but in this opening its the opposite.

[@kaz8823]

0:49-0:53 that was absolutely amazing. Just perfect . One of the best shows ever

Awww yeah! I am PUMPED for the new season! :D

[@snowyermine6941]

I just watched the intro for volume 3. rip me when is my funeral

[@AtlasGX]

I don't really like how the song starts out but I feel like once the OP gets rolling it's easily the best of all four we've seen so far.

[@MedorraBlue]

Transistor came out on May 20. Two days later, Bravest Warriors released their newest plot arc. Tomorrow, the 24th, is Prom. This morning I realised that *IKE HAS BEEN CONFIRMED* for Smash 4. And just now, I found this. And if that's not enough, I get to go to the big city on the 26th. *I LOVE THIS WEEK SO MUCH.*

[@TheCrazydude17]

I know what you mean!

[@Jsfun]

Oh, plus Watch Dogs got cracked and so you can download and play it right now on your PC. Yeah, it works. I played a few hours yesterday.

[@Roxasofmalice]

Wait..Ike? Thats...odd? wouldnt it be CHrom since his gamewas the Newest?

[@300PIVOTMASTER]

Ike was released? Oh crap YES!!!

[@MedorraBlue]

Roxasofmalice Oh, Chrom's still in, I'm sure of it. They wouldn't have Ferox Arena and a Tiki trophy but not Chrom or Lucina, especially considering the game's success. At the same time, Lucina is perfect for a Marth palette swap... the fighting style would be identical to Marth (lightweight, acrobatic swordfighter) and having her as an alternate swap for Marth would be a perfect solution. But long story short, it'll be Chrom as a challenger and Lucina as something else. Also, to top it off, there's going to be a larger roster. They already added more pokemon and broke up Shiek/Zelda and Samus/Zero... this means there's going to be more representation from each universe. Basically, Chrom's all but confirmed. Calling it.

[@AkariEnderwolf]

anyone else think there needs to be a RWBY game or mmo?

[@MCprincessgamer]

0mg yeaa that w0uld be awe20me :33

[@CombatArmsVRUEICMMO]

There's a fanmade game. I think it's called RWBY Grimm Eclipse or something

[@lukecote8336]

And queue the fangasm

[@TrollingWolfGaming]

***** It's free, but isn't ever going to get an update. You can only play as Ruby as shown in her teaser trailer.

[@ptvlovergurl4life186]

There is a game, but it's a computer game

[@SW1NDLER_TR1CKSTER]

RWBY series would probably x100 better if only monty was still alive.

[@omiorahman6283]

The show would be different if he was alive

[@neonkatt7659]

They're trying their best.

[@olukiyesimi]

honestly i feel like ppl dont give the current RWBY production team enough credit. its a lot to pick up after someone so influential to the team isn’t there anymore. with that said though, ur absolutely right 💀

[@sillyfanz3791]

Hold It! @0:32 (if on computer, go in settings and change video speed to 0.25 and then you will see it) who are those two ppl standing left to ironwood ? they seem important....maybe that guy looks like a real color of Mercury, but with diffrent clothes and that girl, she looks....unique?

[@xxgoodstuffxx1156]

+SillyFanz huh i just notice now....

[@Mimi-qz5bq]

+SillyFanz me too... so odd

[@shinini7581]

+Mimi wow, good eyes

[@xxgoodstuffxx1156]

i wonder how they would sound like... now i am super curious

[@xxgoodstuffxx1156]

+SillyFanz forever forgotten?

[@Zwei22]

It's just that Cinder scene where she's sitting looking at sky...... it makes her seem a hell of a lot more interesting now. It's like from that alone it seems like she has some major story to tell. Now I'm wondering if she has any relation to Ruby in any possible way because that would be cool. I know they like saw each other in the first episode but uh maybe they didn't really get a good look or some other shit.

[@DeltaTwoNiner]

im betting on searching for her sister or best friend or something around that

[@Auxcell_]

OH MY GAWD!!! I hope Jaune can land on his own now.

[@Auxcell_]

OH FUCK MAN HE DID!

[@tuxedomask1323]

I know right i was like Shit just got real when tht happened

[@alexnguyen-quoc933]

ENORELXD2 I hope his sword and shield are more than just plain old stuff.

[@Sakaki98]

Even by today's OP standards, this one is both energetic and subtle. Even though they'd worked in a sizable amount of Monty's trademark choreography as well as some generally cool faction conflicts, it's delicately balanced by generous amounts of symbolism and foreshadowing. First with Ruby floating above the cogs that are above Ozpin. As both of these only make an appearance in the same time period as Ozpin getting killed and Pyrrha getting killed, this is a nod towards Ruby's consequent activation of her eyes at the top of Beacon's tower. Second with cogs around Ozpin that, while possibly just hinting at the aforementioned events, could also be in reference to his semblance. Next, Pyrrha fading away came not just from the formulaic character quality that is being split between reputation and actual personality, but also her eventual Vol. 3 inner conflict with the possibility of being replaced by another maiden as well as the fact that she dies altogether. Jaune pulling her back to reality is fitting because his ability to see her for her is the crux of their one-sided romance and ironic because her letting him make the call for her leads to her death. Cinder burning on one side entirely foreshadows the injuries she receives from Ruby's silver eyes as well as the fact that she eventually gets consumed by her revenge as her only defining motivator(Watts called this out in Vol. 5) afterwards. This is supported by how Ruby is the one that not only leads the team that cuts into the next scene, but cuts from the same direction that Cinder's dress and eye glow are being pulled. It could also reference the cliche that she's been working towards her goal to causing the fall of Beacon that any and all attachments and personality traits that don't directly benefit the mission in some way is gone, which I'd argue is simply poor character writing on RT's part without any explanatory context/history, but I digress. I could get into the way the color palette fits in with the theme, but then I'd be here all day, so I'm ending it here. Tl;dr, this is one of my favorite anime openings of all time.

[@harishrabbani]

Anyone else felt an Attack on Titan ambience at the start of the opening?

[@anthonydinh4946]

yep

[@MasamuneNoirFilms]

+Harish Rabbani obviously

[@staticshock4219]

+Santarino Kripperino Sigh you trolls really don't make sense. Here's a thought. If you don't like something, don't watch it. GASP Shocking right?

[@penguinminion9933]

attack on rwby confirmed

[@ryanorusio1056]

Literally breathtaking.

[@faidou9954]

MUST...PLAY!!!!

[@ryanorusio1056]

threedevilshared video

[@nightshade616]

Dewayne Thomas It's a show. Though it would rock as an open world brawler with RPG elements. Especially if it had the right weapon combo system...something like Borderland's where weapon size governs its stats and options as far as the ability to combine weapons in the same way that borderlands can apply a random assortment of combinations based on weapon class and the like.

[@evilnekowantznobs]

nightshade616 Actually this game would be perfect if it used the godhand combo system.

[@ryanorusio1056]

nightshade616 evilnekowantznobs why wouldn't it have it's own combo system? One based on the intense, fast mixed range fighting styles used in the show

[@musicisum0405]

Am I the only person in the universe who thought volume one was amazing!? I'm not an anime fan but I loved it, despite the sometimes-not-so-great-graphics-and-storyline. I thought it was balanced with some epic fight scenes and character likeability. I also happen to think the music is great and the animation as a whole isn't bad-- it's just its own style. I can't wait for season two! I'll be seeing it first at RTX!

[@Darksword66]

Well first i'd like to say, Obviously you aren't :P. If you were the only one, unless you were personally backing them with your funds i don't think a volume 2 would have been made. As for everything else, i enjoy your optimistic approach on it. It's still in the status of "indie" made in my mind. but That is what makes it awesome. I enjoyed the entire volume one and will most likely enjoy volume two haha =D And i hope you enjoy the premiere you're lucky for that one :P

[@HiIeric117]

Honestly, I liked the series but what really sold it was the soundtrack and fighting animations. Thought the story was a bit eh to be honest. But we'll have to wait and see what they deliver this time around.

[@musicisum0405]

Hizumi Ketsueki I only assumed I was the only one satisfied with it because everyone in the comments seems to be hating on it. Glad I'm not the only one! :D

[@musicisum0405]

HiIeric117 volume 1, I think, was meant to be merely an introduction. I think volume 2 will be much better in the story department, or at least I hope so!

[@malalaliyah]

I'm sorry, but I seriously miss this opening. Volume 3's theme just isn't doing it for me.

[@awesomeguy17ful]

+Naia Sakano same

[@RaiosSephi]

+Naia Sakano I guess they made it pretty dark... It sounds like it. Seeing the end of Volume 3, it fits the volume quite well, Good thing this theme is what I hear for the game! gonna buy it soon

[@malalaliyah]

Julius Segubre The fact that Vol. 3's theme was dark wasn't the main issue for me. It's just the overall rhythm and pacing of it. It all felt off to me. The vocals, the tune, everything. I just really didn't care for it. The first two were catchy and easy to sing to. The third just sounded all over the place, to me.

[@wolfy297]

agreed

[@TheThriller792]

+Naia Sakano It's funny, i think its the opposite. I thought this theme was O.K. while season 3 was better. But that's just my opinion.

[@-Neo_Genesis-]

RIP Monty, you will be missed. T-T

[@InktheImpassive]

"Sees Team RWBY fighter Cinder and the others in OP" "Sees they never actually fought in the volume" Nani?!?!

[@riley8704]

Thanks RT, you gave me a childhood.

[@rathaloanx9263]

"Now it's time to say goodbye." As the video focuses on Pyrrha, then show's Cinder sitting there with a smug face. Roosterteeth, why?

[@inplane9970]

0:49 Can we appreciate this small segment? It goes by so fast and swiftly, yet it's easy to watch and easy to follow with the eyes. Monty truly was a genius in animation.

[@AstralMuffin105]

Holy crap! Seeing this in good quality has really gotten me hyped up and ready for the premiere in July! It looks so much more intense than Volume 1, and I can't wait to see all the 1 on 1 combat we were promised, especially the Blake vs Torchwick rematch and Ruby vs Cinder this opening promises. And finally seeing Yang in some full on action is going to be amazing, as well.

[@rwbyang1584]

at 0:12 It warn us that Ruby in volume 3 will freeze all the Beacon only with her eyes. Dann! So symbolic

[@kuzkuz6423]

RWB Yang you know what this intro doesn't tell us. you getting your arm cut off :p

[@rwbyang1584]

flaming dorito man I'm just done with you

[@EslocoSoldado]

I have to be honest I've been a fan a fan of Rooster Teeth since Red Vs Blue episode one but when it came to RWBY I was skeptical and I didn't watch it as it aired, the other night I was bored so I decide I'll watch episode 1 see how it is, needles to say I binge watched the rest of the season and cant wait for season 2.

[@Brillenerd]

Better late than never :D

[@destroyallhumansplus]

You are lucky,the wait is shorter for you

[@DarknessXER]

ahem, volume 2. It even says it in the video name

[@SILENTALONS]

at least you have to wait a couple of months. Most of us still have that knife in our back waiting for volume 2 to start.

[@Bush-Warrior]

jamanese87 It's technically the second half of the first season, just to clear up the "It's volume 2, volume 2!" comments. That's why it's called Volume 2.

[@gathor_]

the memories this bring me, the nostalgia, i just want to go back

[@Chamassanya]

As a musician might I say the group doing the opening theme is lovely.

[@RunnerGuitar]

The music is composed by Jeff Williams. It is sung by his 16 year old daughter Casey lee Williams and it's played by Jeff'a band, Trocadero

[@h0m3st4r]

Indeed.

[@ShadowLimited310]

RunnerGuitar thought it was his sister

[@Dru_Stephan]

The only issue I have is that I can't understand a single word she says.

[@Chamassanya]

Dru Stephan how so? The singer does an excellent job at annunciation. Admittedly the music is a tad loud but its not horrible.

[@hiimannie6967]

volume 3 opening ... uhh well, it doesn't quite compare

[@lifeofakidcosplayer5708]

Yep.. First 2 openings are the best in my opinion, the 3rd op isnt my style. I also feel like it doesn't fit.

[@hiimannie6967]

I agree the vol 2 one was

[@SonicMaster211]

+Life of a kid cosplayer Does it fits now?

[@lyssk7083]

+SonicMaster211 aww I wanted to say that.

[@thealliedpowers]

+Ashley Robinson Vol. 3 is more metal and Vol. 2 and 1 are more rock. I like the first 2 better as well.

[@Skyhammer14]

RIP Monty. You will live on in your awesome work.

[@ethannewland3109]

I just came back to this after watching season 5. I still get shivers when I watch this, I love it so much. The animation quality has greatly improved but the season one and two intros are still the best.
