Title: RWBY (as in Red, White,Black, Yellow)
Author: Monty Oum (of Dead Fantasy and Red Vs Black fame)
Produced By: Rooster Teeth
Start Date: July 5
Storyline: Nothing is known exactly so far, but the plot seems to take place in sort of modern a-bit-dystopian setting, filled with supernatural creatures. The show focuses on 4 girls, each having their own unique power, as well as weapon of choice, each based on a well-known fairytale.
Characters:(the names link to their respective trailers)
- Ruby (as in Red) - A character heavily inspired by Red Riding Hood. The main heroine of the show. Wields a sniper riffle/scythe hybrid, named Crescent Rose, as her weapon of choice. Seems to have lost someone in her past.
- Weiss Schnee (as in White Snow) - An ojou-sama idol type of character, inspired by both Snow White and Snow Queen fairy tales. Her weapon of choice is magical revolver/rapier hybrid, Myrtenaster.
- Blake Belladonna (as in Black) - A black-haired character strongly inspired by Beauty and the Beast. Her weapon of choice is pistol/whip/sword hybrid, Gambol Shroud. Is an apprentice/comrade of a man named Adam. Monty has referred to her as someone who "holds back a lot in the fights, trying not to loose herself".
- Yang Xiao Long (as in Yellow) - a blond hothead type of character, inspired by as many as three different fairytales - Godilocks, Cinderella and Rapunzel. Favorite weapon of choice - shotgun-gloves
Overall:
So yeah, we are getting closer and closer to the day it comes out and this seriously needs its own thread.
Monty Oum is generally well known for creating some of the most insane fight sequences ever, considering his Dead Fantasy work, which seemed to consistently turn it up to eleven with each part. His work on animating latter seasons of Red VS Blue was also exceptional and so far it seems he has truly let himself run with his creativity with this one, considering the downright insane weapon choices so far(rocket launcher bat? shotgun katana? etc).
Voice acting from what could have been heard ranges from decent(Yellow) to a bit mediocre(Red), but overall other parts of the show(its crazyness, character designs, music quality) seem to more than make up for it.
Story-wise not much is known, except for fairytale inspirations, a bit dystopian setting and supernatural involvement.
The whole thing already has got quite a bit of buzz in cosplay scene and it seems that japanese also are quite interested in it(obviously)
