RWBY

Fanarts in memory of Monty Oum:







(2/4)More fanarts tributes:

got my first tattoo in honor of Monty

On the word "Forward", is the W like that on purpose? It looks like it is "U" and "I", like Foruiard, or maybe i am just blind.

it's in cursive, so it definitely just looks like that.

Jesus H. Christ. I sincerely hope you didn't pay any money for that.

OT: Just re-watched RWBY. Shit was cache. RIP Monty.

do we have any eta for season three yet?

Nope. And I very seriously doubt there will be someone that can replace monty.

therea no onE that can replace monty, but someone can at least try

True, I guess it isn't fair to say it's impossible to RWBY to be brought back.
Just really don't want anyone messing up Montys creation.

To those of you interested, there's a fan comic made by a Taiwanese author called RWBY Henceforward. It takes place well after Volume 2. I'm going to give a few warnings right now though!

1) There is blood and it's got some swearing.
2) If you aren't into yuri, there's a strong implication that Weiss and Ruby have become a couple.
3) It's pretty dark and covers some really shady themes, so it's not for the faint of heart.
4) Since the author is not an english speaker, her translations are a little rough. It's understandable, but be prepared for some awkward grammar.

If you guys want, I can post a few pics of her art. I didn't see anyone mention this so I assumed no one knew about it.

Spotted some pics here and there, but never the actual comic.

In other news, lots of RWBY fanart here.



EDIT: Japanese VAs

Alright whoever is handling comedy is doing a fantastic job, action...it's not Monty for sure but it's still good with the slew of effects.

Also Ren is now voiced by Neath Oum, Monty's brother. Kudos to the man for stepping up.

Bumblebee. i dont need to say anything else

I've waited a little to see how it's progressing but after chapter 3 I've got be honest here: Without Mounty the action animation feels very stiff (It's bad) which is a real pity because the action is the only redeeming trait I see in this show.

I feel like the script for the dialogue is better but yeah RWBY's huge selling point was the action and art(which is also suffering) which..goes to show just how talented Monty was with this void left in his place. There are plenty of fair reasons not to watch this show but I'm sticking around.

It's getting better. Fight in episode 6 is close to Monty levels, quite honestly.

Everything else is improving loads, too. The actors are comfortable in their roles, now, and they even have some professionals on board (Vic Mignogna and Elizabeth Maxwell), the story just got a huge kick, and animation is getting smoother and more refined across the board.

I will admit that most of the fights are a little lackluster without Monty. The first few are agonisingly slow-paced- the first real good fight being the one between Qrow and Winter.

Cynically, I would attribute the poor fights to the animators, in which I'm guessing are mostly late-teens to early twenties who take much of their influence from anime; speedlines and swishes galore, but not much action actually happening. Yang and Pyrrha are the only ones who get anything resembling choreography.

Again, though- they are getting better.

i was worried about the quality of the show after monty passed, but they have his magic moleskin notebook that has like, the next seven seasons or something mapped out point by point. thats good.

Episode 10.



Cliched as hell.

Still love it.
