I bet he's going to be an expert swordsman who beats all of his enemies off screen, because it would be impossible to animate the sheer awesomeness involved

Blakes about how I imagined! Weiss is staying a bit snobby. I'm really liking the way its going.

I'm really liking the art choice of background characters being just black outlines.

Feetie Pajama's John? Seriously?

I had the same thought.

Honestly.. oppinion still not changed.

Voice acting is still pretty poor, animations are... subpar, lots of floaty feet syndrom going on..

But most importantly.. it's just been boring.

Yeah, the VA's a little rusty. Hopefully it will improve over time.

The animation is a bit odd, but I just blame that on inexperience. Roosterteeth isn't known to make their own animations, not exactly. It's one thing to take an existing game and make the characters move to your tune, but another to build everything from scratch. As with the VA, I believe the animation will improve.

Exactly, I can see everyone's gripes, but I have faith it'll get better.

To be fair, the first eight episodes of RvB weren't exactly action packed high quality material either....

I myself am finding it to be slightly boring, but that's because right now they are building up the characters and breaking you into the world. I'm sure in the next two episodes (Where we see Ruby/Weiss/Blake/Yang team up and Jaune gets his own team) it will pick up on the action a little bit.


Also, I did some digging on the show, and "John"'s name is actually Juane or Jaune (Don't remember the actual spelling), means "Yellow" in French (Could be his hair, or he's a coward), and his full name, Juane Arc, is actually a play on Joan of Arc. Could he be sacrificing himself sometime soon, or will he be a figure head for an entire army?

Yes, I noticed that bit of word play as well. So he either gets burned alive or somehow becomes a inspiring leader of a rebellion. Or like his namesake, both.

Why Yang though? How does Yang mean yellow? Weiss is German for white, Ruby is obvious, and Blake is a pun on black, but Yang? Am I missing something?

Yang is.... Japanese? Chinese? (Edit: The Word, not the character )

One of the two, her full name means something around "Little Dragon of the Sun".

According to google, Yang is Indonesian for which and Chinese for poplar. So a poplar witch?

Where did you get her full name?

The RWBY Wiki

http://rwby.wikia.com/wiki/RWBY_Wiki

There's a wiki now? That was fast.

Google lied to me. Yang means sun or light, which makes a lot more sense.

Stupid google...

Fire and light is over used. I would have gone with lemons. Just like Cave Johnson intended

They are yellow too!

I think calling Juane Arc word play is a little far fetched.. it seemed like a dumb name to slap on a male character to me.

Also, It's Jeane d'Arc for christ sake.

Not in English.

In English it's Joan of Arc.

Also, it's Jeanne D'Arc for Christ's Sake.

Yes, and she was French, so, that was her name. Names aren't open to interpretation, that's why it's a name.

I don't suddenly become Josef because my name is Jos.

JOS! JOS! JOS!


Regardless, that's why they called him that

Weiss Schnee is apparently German for Snow White, so it's not like they aren't pulling stunts like that.

And Ruby Rose. That's an obvious one. Though if she is Yang Xiao Long's sister, wouldn't her last name be Long? It's a minor nitpick, but it still strikes me as odd.

You are talking to someone who's dialect is 40% german, I'm pretty sure I could tell.

Ruby Rose sounds more like a nickname, honestly.

Then you should have known after hearing that that the show is going to be punny.

Too bad it isn't funny eh?

Because clearly I was speaking in a factual way and everything on these forums isn't oppinions right?

Slarg, stop being a prick. ;P

Can't, joined the Angry Marines.


ALWAYS ANGRY, ALL THE TIME!

ALL the time? does smashing heresy not give you joy

Also the humor in it so far is a little awkward but the situation shes in is awkward so its ok for now..... if ruby is one of those characters who is going to be continually awkward then im going to have a problem

Finally got around the ep3 and that was hilarious. I can see how someone might not be entertained but I loved it XD

Best moment:





And Jaune just keeps getting more awkwardly awesome.

Looks like were starting to get to the action. I'm liking the headmaster quite a lot. Finally starting to see some of the other characters as well. On the whole I'm still enjoying it.
