Take that, CoD.
I totally see where you're coming from on most of this, honestly. You make good points and back them up. Honestly, I'm a poor debater, but I'm trying my best. I'm also a terrible critic, I know. Honestly, I'm really sick right now, though, so I think I'm just gonna let this one go unless someone else wants to pick it up, because I am kinda really out of it right now. Also, I'm civil with you because I consider you a friend. If you were just some punk I'd probably be a lot less patient ahaha.
yea okay so I was a bit tipsy last night and shouldn't have been on the internet so my explanation was sh*t. BUT I was correct when I said RWBY had it's faults while still being good. Yes, the animation is not quite to a professional level, but was anyone really expecting, like, Pixar? I knew going into it it wasn't gonna be the best thing on the market in that area, and therefore gave them some leeway (especially since I used to enjoy Dead Fantasy, Monty's previous work, so much). They are a very small studio (I think ten members total for the production team? I could be off) and you couldn't possibly expect them to be on par there, not even with RvB, since that one uses stuff straight from Halo. Perhaps if they'd done it in two years instead of one, it'd look a bit better. The first trailer premiered sometime in the fall of 2012, which leads me to believe, based on other stuff they'd done, that they'd only been working on it since the spring or summer of that year. Again, could be wrong. But big budget animated movies take years to produce, even with teams of hundreds working on it. Rise of the Guardians, by comparison, started production in 2008, released at the end of last year, and cost $45 million to make. I feel like if RWBY, purely from an animation aspect, had tried to be any more ambitious than it was, it would have taken more money, time, and resources than it did, and interest on the project would have been lost. Therefore, despite not being the best, I'd like to cut it some slack there. It's definitely goodlooking compared to a lot of the stuff you'd see on the internet. From a writing standpoint, again it's not the best thing in the world, but nor is it the worst. It's solid and funny, and part of the problem is the delivery of the lines (which I don't blame on the actors, as they're not professional actors but people they just pulled from around the RT office). That, however, is subjective, as everyone's taste is different, and no one's gonna think everything is funny. I really feel like once the series picks up a little bit more (which it's doing right now) and the plot starts getting going, it'll really start to shine. I also really really like the character designs. They're original and interesting, to the point that I'm currently contemplating a Ruby cosplay. Even when I'm not smashed my explanations aren't the best but yea here's my defense, take it as you will.
Because I like Roosterteeth and I like RWBY. I'm not saying it doesn't have its faults, because it does, but in my opinion it's a good series. Jiku, you're awesome and all, but just because you have a differing opinion than I doesn't mean you can undermine my own opinion. We can agree to disagree about the series as a whole, but don't say my opinion is wrong. (as for the 3D thing, I might be biased because I personally am better at and prefer to do traditional animation. So you might have me on that one.)
I'm only on like episode 6 or so, and I feel like it's getting better as it goes? Like, I thought the first one was pretty meh in terms of writing, and the second slightly better, and so on. Honestly, I really like the humor and the fight scenes. The in between stuff isn't that bad (but could stand a little work, yes). And, it's really just getting started. We'll probably get more about the characters as we go. No one complained that Dumbledore didn't get a full backstory until the seventh book. Also, for those complaining about the episode length, go try to do 3D animation. I dare you. It is the most pain in the ass process I have ever gone through. It legit took me two days to model a door and animate it opening. I think Monty and his team are doing a pretty damn good job considering their budget and tools. Sure, it's no Pixar film, but it's definitely good.
Original: KingdomKey13 Default: Fearless If, for some reason, Fearless is taken when registering to a new site (which it does tend to be), I usually go with DatFearlessChick.
Didn't I just f*cking address this earlier in the thread.
Get me some rum.
Thank you Simon.
Oh my gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood these themes make me feel old.
I've watched the first ten or so episodes of Zexal, and it's really quite good. I mean, sure, it doesn't quite live up to 5Ds or anything, but I honestly don't understand all the hate it gets. Plus, people tell me episode 13 is where it really picks up (I'm just really too busy to watch more than one episode at a time).
I'm with HoT on this one.
Hmmm... I'll look around, but keep that one until further notice. because apparently i'm too sexy for my shirt idfk
Remind me which render it is you have for me? Because I don't remember if I wanted to change it.
Link it so I know which one you're talking about.
Yea I didn't see that one. Then again I watch Roosterteeth through youtube, not the site.
all hail the original ship Spoiler: so is mine
NO, UR DUMB.
Bonds Beyond Time was probably the best thing YGO ever did in english. I love that movie so much. <3 Yea, admittedly the card games do get more and more complicated. I play the game in real life, so it's pretty easy to keep up for me, but I can see where that would put you off a bit. Still, the story is where it's at. GX is my baby. 5Ds is great but the 'card games on motorcycles' joke got real old real quick. Don't judge Zexal based on commercials, especially the dubbed ones. Like I said, subbed is where it's at with this one. At least give it a chance before you say you don't like something.
Which ad are we talking about?
