      Depends on the size of he channel, it seems. I did a playthrough of _RWBY: Grimm Eclipse_ and got claims on the music. RT's people were singularly unhelpful in dealing with the claims, as they did not get back to me until days before they expired, insisted there were no claims, from them or a third party, and then only got back to me again once the claims had expired. To avoid further claims, I layered royalty-free music over top of the in-game music, and that worked.

    You guys were spot on for the allusions for each character; I do want to point out that Wiess Schnee is actually German for "white snow" so Snow White is entirely correct, Blake does have a secondary allusion which you'll be able to notice later on in this volume and her last name "Belladonna" is meant to hint at her main allusion being Belle (also Blake means black in Old English), Yang is based off Goldilocks but what's interesting is her full name "Yang Xiao Long" isn't apart of the normal naming pattern with the color being right in the name, you have to look at her name's translation from Chinese which is "little light dragon" or "small dragon of the sunshine" this is were we can the yellow color reference, but I've also heard it may be a reference to a Chinese fairytale that I can't remember the name of.
    Also, just quickly, the Huntsman Schools are at college level so all the characters that got into the school normally, so excluding Ruby, are all like 17 or 18 and Ruby is 15 for this volume and the next couple volumes.

    • @BNuts
      @BNuts 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I've heard two things: That Monty had notes, and that following his untimely passing, CRWBY decided not to follow them.
      Monty wasn't the best storyteller, but he was a great action animator. He needed help from Kerry, Miles, and the rest to make the story cogent, and even then it was far from being 'the best' out there. But it was great, and had a lot of potential and room to grow. Unfortunately I feel they've lost the thread pretty much entirely by Volume 7.
      If someone who cares more about story and character than message gets ahold of the IP, it could be great. I find _Ice Queendom_ 's animation to be unfortunately lacking most of the time, although they've taken the story in some interesting directions.
      Given the similarities in setting and characters, I would almost suggest Hoyoverse getting behind the wheel. Almost. Because while they have some great storytellers, they have a lot on their plates already, and anytime they've need an anime-style cinematic, they've outsourced it anyway. Plus, there're the censors, although _RWBY_ was always RT's most accessible properties anyway.
      Hoyo teased an anime for _Genshin_ by the way. ufotable, the guys behind _Kimetsu no Yaiba_ , are animating. So maybe in a couple years we'll get another awesome thing to watch.

    So, I think the only weapon name we've heard in the series is Ruby's, but all their weapons have names as well. The ones we've seen so far:
    Ruby: Crescent Rose
    Weiss: Myrtenaster
    Blake: Gambol Shroud
    Yang: Ember Celica
    Jaune: Crocea Mors
    Obviously you'll get to see more as the series goes on. And next posting you'll have my favorite character who also happens to have my weapon in the episode. Boop.

    Fun Facts!
    Episode 2:
    Fact 1: Roughly half of the episode was shown at RTX 2013 alongside the episode, "Ruby Rose".
    During RTX 2013, the scene where Ruby sneezes on Weiss lacks the explosion and Dust effects and has a cameo appearance by RWBY Rex along with the captions "VFX missing" and "KA BOOM".
    Fact 2: In the DVD version, this episode cuts off after Jaune says, "I don't know, I was following you", and then quickly transitions into the upcoming portion of the series.
    Episode 3:
    Fact 1: The first half of this episode was the earliest dialogue scene to be animated in Volume 1.
    Fact 2: The book Blake is reading is about two souls fighting for control of one body. This seems to be a reference to The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, in which Dr. Jekyll struggles to control himself after creating a split personality, Mr. Hyde. While Dr. Jekyll is a kind-hearted doctor, Mr. Hyde is a foul-tempered murderer. The two personalities are often in conflict and attempt to contest control of the same body.
    Fans online transcribed the book from visible screenshots - it is indeed the The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, specifically the scene when Dr. Jekyll drinks the potion for the first time.
    Fact 3: Ruby's eye mask looks like the eyes of the Beowolves in their old design, and her pajama shirt has a heart-shaped red Beowolf head on it.
    Fact 4: The back of Weiss' information pamphlet reads: "Hey. How's it going? So, you're interested in Dust. That's cool. Hmm, I'm noticing that you're not very smart, though. Some might say you're a dummy. Probably think you can't use Dust. Well. You probably shouldn't. But you're going to anyways. So, if you are going to, you should at least read this pamphlet. That way you won't kill anyone. Probably won't."

    Every weapon has a name, but Crescent Rose is the only one named in the show; and they're (very nearly) always also a gun.
    There's a RWBY mod for a game called RimWorld. It's out of date now, until the modder finishes updating it for the latest expansion, but it was a lot of fun at the time. It includes a 'sneezing in the presence of dust' mechanic... I learned to store it seperately from my other resources after that happened.

      @@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 The chapters/episodes for this show was released weekly, not in bunch. However, some Volumes partially suffered due to the chapters being released weekly, which made some of the fanbase impatient or bored during certain arcs. Although V1 wasn’t really affected by this issue since the pace of the show at that time was unknown, most viewers like seeing reactors binge through at least the first 2 volumes, since the chapter lengths are usually very short. Overall, I would say RWBY is show that is better binged, but if it wasn’t released weekly, the discussion and therefore the community would be smaller.

    Man, I always am amused by the first episodes at how, from her trailer, I was sure I was gonna love Weiss the most, as I thought she was the quiet shy lonely type. And then... BAM. WOW. Quiet and shy out the window. I remember my friend texting me and being all like, "Is Weiss still your favorite?" and my reply of "I'm holding out hope."
    While watching this show, pay attention to the little details. This show definitely makes them worth being mindful of and I think you'll find it more enjoyable ultimately if you are attentive to them. And that's probably as much as I can say without spoilers.
    A fun game with RWBY is every character is a reference. Some to Fairy Tales, some to history, some to other stories, etc. Can you figure out who each character is inspired by? There's some incredibly clever allusions in this show.
    So one thing in response to Bethany about Yang's confidence and everything, its not really explicitly stated, but the entry age for Beacon is 17. So they're a bit older than you may have thought. Basically seniors in high school age when they start here. Except for Ruby since she skipped a couple years. I remember my high school, our valedictorian was 15 at graduation as she skipped 3 grades before starting High School. And she actually could have skipped one more in High School but chose not to. She was definitely not a socially awkward girl though, ambitious as hell, super confident, but always the first to reach out her hand to help.

    Weiss is a character you will learn to love, they've all had some troubled past issues and the show will try to ease you into the knowledge before finally dropping it on you. Especially with Blake.
    As for personalities, Yang is chaotic confidence because she has to be for Ruby, and from that chaotic confidence came Ruby's chaotic innocence personality.

      Yeah, you don't get to see the better side of Weiss in Volume 1 except for extremely brief, seemingly out of nowhere glimpses. V1's short running time does a real disservice to the development of many characters, Weiss included.

    Good reaction, Great post discussion. Some folks really look for the vicarious emotional buzz when viewing reactions, so much so that they will skip over pre/post discussions. Nothing wrong with that, I enjoy it too! You'll certainly see a bump of viewers once you hit some of the 'flashier' episodes and arcs. For me I enjoy the analysis more. This show intentionally starts out 'simplistic'. One dimensional characters, 'high school-ish' antics, and snappy one liners will eventually give way to more complex themes. You both seem quite perceptive so I'm looking forward to when some of the larger, more complex arcs and character development starts to take hold in later episodes/volumes. Keep it up, glad you started the series.

    There's an irony about Blake's fairy tale comment, because most of the characters are inspired from different fairy tales. Figuring out which is which is part of the fun.

    "A Simple Sole" RT could use that for a footwear catchphrase! :P
    "Strangers are just friends you have not met yet" That is horrible advice...
    Explosions? Fire? Dust? Ah crap, America has come to "spread freedom" to Beacon...
    I would agree that Blake is the more experienced of the four. As we saw in her trailer, she was out and about fighting on a train with bots designed and programmed to combat interlopers. I do believe the trailers are canon, although Ruby's can be considered either or since it has no ties into anything other than Ruby showing off her ability to kill grimm. And yeah I remember being all interested in Weiss when I watched her trailer, then she met Ruby and I was all "Ah she's bratty, meaning it'll be a slowburn for the audience to get to like her."
    I think you figured out most but here's the list so far:
    Ruby - Red Riding Hood
    Weiss - Snow White
    Blake - Beauty & The Beast (I remember you watched ahead a bit, so I can say this one plainly.)
    Yang - Goldielocks
    Jaune - Joan of Arc genederbent edition
    Glynda - Good Witch from Oz I think she's the Witch of The East.
    Ozpin - Wizard of Oz
    Roman - Romeo Candlewick from Pinnochio, but his design is inspired by the main character from A Clockwork Orange.

    Be patient with Weiss. She’s actually one of three best girls (at least for me, anyway), just not yet. There is a LOT of character development in this show. Regression too, but we’re not going to talk about that yet
    Edit: Anytime a fairytale is mentioned, it’s important. Both for character inspiration, and for those mentioned directly in the show. For example, the book about the man with two souls. Aaaand, oz seeming like he’s not actually there. Just a little food for thought.
    Anyway, I’m glad to see you’re enjoying the show, and a lot of the things you’ve talked about get touched on later in the show. There’s a reason Yang is the way she is, as there is a reason for the way Weiss Blake and Jaune are. So uh. Yeah. Oh, and be careful with the comments. Those of us in FNDM (which, by the way, the rite of passage for acceptance into our cul- ahem, “family”, is making it through V3) really love this show, but we’re not always the best with spoilers. I’m actually a little upset that the comments gave away some of the character inspirations, because there are a number of references that are supposed to make it blindingly clear who they are. Anyway. That’s all I’ve got for now, I’ll see you next episode

    When you catch up you should watch Ice Queendom. Its a 2D anime retelling of the first Volume and the in-between for Volume 2. Its actually really fun and cuts out the more unnecessary parts of Volume 1 and adds to more important necessary character building. Also makes some future characters seem far more likeable and not just manipulative absentee parental figures.

    So you may have noticed that the characters in RWBY are named after color right? There's a reason for this, when Monty created the series he had what would be called a "Color Naming Rule". The guidelines for these rules are as followed
    1. Be a color.
    2. Sound like a color.
    3. Mean a color.
    4. Makes people think of a color.

    Blake is based off of Belle from Beauty and the Beast with Adam from the Black Trailer being Beast, and Yang is based off of Goldilocks with Junior being the Littel Bear, as for the Teachers they are from the same Fairy Tale Glynda is based off of Glenda the Good witch and Ozpin is based off of the Wizard of Oz, looking forward to your reaction to the rest of the characters.

    One thing about RWBY is that it LOVES to subvert stereotypes. Each one of these characters starts off being an archetype and over the course of the show grows to be far more than what they appear. Weiss the entitled princess, Blake the mysterious girl, Yang the outgoing bubbly girl, Jaune the bumbling but lovable buffoon .. It's an excellent story road to travel.
