In anime it's a clear distinction, if you're an awkward character girl (like Ruby) fighting in heels would be a comical scene when you cant get a single hit right, if you're a fancy girl (or, in some very specific anime shows, a VERY fancy man) you fight in heels exactly like anyone else fights without them. I should point out that RWBY isn't an anime andthat it's overall very progressive as far as female character stigmas go, much more progressive than any other show I've seen so far, so idk if it's actually such a patriarchal stigma (I've seen women, including my older sister, who walk around freely in VERY high heels, so maybe that's actually a skill you can achieve. But than again I've never seen any of them fighting in heels...)
Can i just say I love how Qrow lives up to his name. Dreary and dull, but perky with his movements and striking with precision. Vic Mignogna nailed the "Dusty old crow" voice perfectly as well.
@@matto2893 wasn’t he also created with Vic being THE only voice they wanted for him? He also is pretty much useless nowadays so it definitely would’ve been best to just kill him off…

6 Years later and hearing Ruby sound so purely excited is both nostalgic, and incredibly painful to hear. Like a relative who you haven't seen in years only to find out they lost their job, house, and dog. And While they did end up lashing out at you, it was just once and for the most part you really, really, REALLY want to give them a hug.
I'd agree if her actions didn't partly cause the fall of Atlas, breaking ironwood's sanity, and trying to give jaune shit after he was stuck in the other world for a long time.
That basically describes the whole franchise/series in my eyes. It's like they wanted to keep it going for Monty and couldn't bare to let it go but had no idea how
The fact that he can carry that sword around with one hand, throw it like it weighs nothing and support a fully grown woman on the end of it without showing any sign of strain proves that Qrow is pretty fucking strong.
"heard your boss has finally turned his back on ozpin..." "listen to your big sis... she will protect you... just like atlas will protect all of us..." qrow knew volumne 7 and 8
Winters - loses awareness (surprised to see her boss), loses temper, escapes 80% of the fight, heavily uses magic. Qrow - no magic, perfect awareness, calm, controls the fight for the entire time, intentionally infuriates the enemy aware she can't hurt him, all her hits didn't even scratch him suggesting that despite relatively small frame the dude is a fucking tank, and all of that while drunk. No Weiss, it was not a draw...
Winter did get mad at Qrow while Qrow doesn't seems so but using magic and dodging attacks more often is just a fighting style and Qrow's fighting skills doesn't seems to fall while being drunk and both of them didn't really each other.
That scene after the fight is my favorite.... "If you we're one of my men I'd have you shot-" "if I was one of your men I'd shoot myself." ... "He was drunk-" "he's always drunk!"
I love how qrow understands the importance of mental battle as well as physical. He ‘made’ her attack first, and didn’t care about how others looked at him when he put his weapon away. He knew it would all make sense in a minute. He’s blunt, and very dryly sarcastic. And only talks when he deems it worthy, instead of letting his anger get the best of him. Complete control.
Like the best martial artists would say. "Your body can be strong, but if your soul is weak, you already lost". Which is a fancy way of saying that if you loose your composure, you will likely loose the fight too.
@@cybernet343 exactly. And that is why, when Weiss says 'that was a draw at best' I feel like that isn't true. Since he was in complete control and winter was just going based on temper, he won. In all the ways that matter, he won
5:57 Ruby " UNCLE QROOOOOOW!!!...hi...AAAAGH it's so good to see you,did you miss me! did you miss me!" *Smiles* Qrow "Nope" *smiles and rubs Ruby's head 😂 So adorable
Qrow even when drunk, has quite an amazing fighting form, he's focused and can deal quite a bit of damage, as someone said in the comments he is very steady and balanced, and was able to hold up winter on this very large blade like it was nothing showing he is very very strong. One thing I definitely noticed, is that he was purposely missing his shots with his shotgun. He definitely was holding back, even with his semblance. I believe if he actually meant to, he would have kicked her ass quickly.
very likely crow would of won if he was going all out but as he's drunk and his sembalance is lejit asenine on steroids to fight off someone with a good bit of fury and trying a stamina fight style is nonetheless impressive
Ya forgot he started the fight left handed, qrow is a righty. He was fighting at the start with his off hand lol. The whole time winter was fighting with her main hand.
It's actually uncontrollable misfortune. The only time it activated really in this fight was when Winter got caught by Ironwood. Similarly, it activated when Tyrian fell in the house, and when a beam almost fell and knocked out Ruby.
I love all these little details. Qrow taking a second to check and make sure Winter isn’t a hallucination, Qrow’ use of the “I’m going to duel him left-handed” move, Qrow’s refusing to escalate the fight, and only countering Winter by showing off actual skill when she forced him to (he was holding back the entire time, matching each of her trump cards with minimal effort), Qrow playing Winter’s political position to show he had more cards to play, Winter’s continual looks of terror as she instantly is overshadowed by his actual power level, Weiss smiling at Ruby’s arm bump before resembling she has to be mad, Qrow’s little eyebrow raise in the elevator, Qrow’s eternal hate for Atlas… All great.
When I first watched this episode: "I don't know what to think about this guy. I mean, the guy's funny, but he's a total jerk. Who does he think he is, walking around picking fights with random people completely drunk?" Ruby: "Who would do such a thAT IS MY UNCLE!" "He's my new favorite character."
Ironwood: If you were one of my men i would have you shot. Qrow: If i were one of your men i would shoot myself me: OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
A.k.a. back when Ruby was still a likable MC and not an annoying brat who looks down on her allies because they slightly disagree with her. I went from calling her best girl to saying: “fucking remove her from the show, the real main characters are Ren, Jaune and Oscar”
Damien Loxely Mercury and Emerald are cowards, that's why they work for Cinder. They're terrified of Salem, and don't actually want any part of the action fighting for them. Sure, they might be bad guys now, but they might turn good later on.
It's written as irredeemable and I do not wholly think that they actually are. They've done terrible things, but you can see that they do NOT like Salem or anyone else part of her group save Cinder and while I think that they will not join the good guys, I will at least hope they simply leave her when things start to go bad for Cinder.
Mercury probably ran away because he was afraid Qrow might recognise and attack him. Then when Ozpin questioned him, Qrow would blow Murcury, Emerald and Cinder's cover.
They're missing Monty's creativity, amazing technique with making fight scenes, and passion for prioritizing story telling and character growth over unnecessary fan service. R.I.P. to the GOAT.
a lot of the fights are missing depth. there’s a lot of times when characters will do certain things, but it has no impact at all. let’s take for example RWBY fighting ACE Ops. there’s a scene where yang uses her gauntlets to boost her speed, but she didn’t actually move in speed at all. most of the weapons don’t even have actual transformations now either. it’s just a blur effect and a new weapon
I think he was holding back here since other than Winter being angry there was no real threat here while Tyrian is crazy and was ready to kill everyone there
Qrow had been drinking and he had been holding back, the cancelled scythe transformation was him taking off the kid gloves. Even in the Tyrian fight Qrow was beating Tyrian, even though his weapon was unsuitable for the situation. If he hadn't been distracted by RNJR he'd probably had killed Tyrian
We've seen reptile Faunus like Ilyia, and a few background characters in Menagerie, but it was never actually said that there couldn't be insect (or arachnid) Faunus
Best part is, Qrow wasn't even trying. He was DRUNK and she still couldn't get an edge on him, whether by actual fighting ability, using dust, or those runes she and her sister seem to like so much.
other thing that should be noted is that his semblance is misfortune. actually, the fact that ironwood came so conveniently might just be the earliest moment of his semblance in action.
Nah, I think Winter wasn't giving her all either. I mean, she was pissed, but given her semblance, which I take is very similar to Weiss', she was not going full summoning turbo there. Besides, Qrow's semblance is missfortune, so, she just had bad luck. Also, if you see the complete fight with Tyrion, a similar sequence of events took place. Up until Ruby interfered with the fight, Qrow's semblance was acting in his favour, but then, him worrying about protecting Ruby got him stung.
Watching this again after volume 8.. I just love how they’re at each other’s throat but then she actually smiles when she sees him after everything goes to hell
" Now, Now everyone... there's a sanction fight happening just around the corner at the Colosseum that I can assure you, has better seats and popcorn. "
@@josephwilliams8577 and Winter has a Sword with a detachable sword. I think Miles and Kerry even said it was one of their favourite weapons... the sword-sword
I honestly think Ozpin must be more drunk than Qrow if he forgot that the matches of the tournament were concluded for the day. Thus, there shouldn't be a sanctioned fight.
Damn, was I squealing with joy when I heard Vic’s voice. He NAILED what Qrow should sound like. This fight was the most ANIME-esque I’d ever witness and I miss feeling this excited when watching RWBY 😢😭😭
Just the conversation Weiss and ruby had during the fight was enough to make this episode one of my favorites along with "he was drunk" he's always drunk"
"He started the altercation!" "That's actually not true..." Qrow you tore apart a bunch of machines before she knew you were there. Buddy, that's starting the fight.
Actually she didn't attack him because he broke one of the machines she attacked because in Winter's eyes Qrow was disrespecting Atlas you could say that Qrow was "instigating" but he didn't actually start the fight Winter attacked first
@@JasonDevil06 he manipulated the system in his favor and HEs the drunk! Ironwood & ozpin both dealing with major headaches from it XDXD you know your military sucks when a drunk out smarts you in public
but because his name got dragged through the mud, he'll unfortunately never have a roll in much anything again. Funimation is easily 90% of the mainstream anime and as long as Sabat is still in charge and he has his favorites like Monica Rial (two ppl who will inevitably be in EVERY anime as a result), Vic will never voice in anime again.
Not saying that the animation style for Vol 4 or 5 is bad, in fact they really are a lot better, but I just miss seeing the old animation style from the previous RWBY volumes..
Well, Monty passed away, and considering his work on both RvB and RWBY, he was _very_ good at his job as lead animator. Both RWBY and RvB will never be the same without him.
Your Average Adam Taurus. Not really?? Personally, after monty passed there WAS a dip in animation quality. But if you compare Ruby’s fight with Roman in Vol.4 with RNJR and Qrow vs Tyrion (spelling?) in Vol.5, it seems kinda... slow in comparison. Anyway, personal opinion and all that.
Your Average Adam Taurus Yeah you're right. It will never really be the same without Monty. I felt that his animation style, especially for the fights, are what really characterized these shows, if not at least characterized into a certain aspect that made RvB and RWBY unique. Again, not saying that Monty's animations are better than what it is now, and I don't mind the new direction that they're going for animating RWBY, but y'know, can't help but miss how it was back then.
From what I've learned about Mounty, he seems to be obsessed with animation/fighting, so much so that he would stay up extra hours studying and animating those characters, he was amazingly passionate with his job. I won't say the new fight scenes done by the group is bad but.. the skill level shows between Mounty and the others. He makes me want to become the best.
I remember showing my friend this show and saying season 3 is where it takes a turn and starts to get "dark". Then at 3:11 when Qrow breaks the light pole I said "see told you it gets darker" the look of sheer disappointment and realization of the joke on my friends face is something I'll never forget.
*Raven and Qrow might have been working together temporarily, and the when Qrow wanted to mess around with Winter, at **0:47**, Raven decided, I ain't got time for this, and flew away to continue her mission. At least that Is what I think.*
I love the camera work. Every shot holds for long enough to get its point across, without being so short as to jar the viewer and give both fake energy and confuse the eye. Each cut happens with an action, not between them, and also contains at least one movement in its entirety to ensure you follow the fight.
Back when Qrow was actually worth his hype and sounded exactly like a grizzled veteran of his trade, not a moody teenager whining over his first man-crush. No grief for Jason, but Vic MADE Qrow for me.

Everybody's talking about how Qrow is fighting drunk yet nobody seems to notice that Winter is fighting in heels
That's because her little sister has been doing it since Ep 1....
In anime terms being drunk would be far worse a downside than being in heels.

Exactly. Can't really enjoy Qrow in Season 7 and 8 due to them not only nerfing him, but also replacing his voice due to false allegations.

Daniel Noel Erese nah it's "if i were one of your men I'd shoot myself"
Bottom line, all the best lines come from Qrow
We'll break his legs?
rubdy: gee uncle qrow, how come your scythe gets 3 modes?
haha lol
Maybe she will make a modification that makes it into a sword
Well in the red trailer of rooster teeth..at the part when ruby switched amo the blade of her scythe moved. Which made it look like a lance
rubdy* nice spelling bro/gal
qrow: dunno but I know for sure *it's also a gun*
Qrow: Puts away his sword that’s turning into a scythe.
The Crowd and FNDM: groans in disappointment
"If you where one of my men I'd have you shot!"
"If I was one of your men I'd shoot myself"
XD
Trister Nightwatcher damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Best line he had in the series :D
Savage as fuck
Qrow ended him
"He was drunk!"
"He's always drunk."
Qrow: *drinks more*
Ozpin face
“He was drunk”
“He’s always drunk”
Still to this day one of the best lines from the show.
Qrow is the drunken master. The more drunk he is, the more badass.
BEST! SCENE! EVER!
Flawed logic. You have no control in your experiment.
Alex Chhay true
He's like Bacus in Fairy Tail lol
You've seen red wine drunk randy, now get ready for
Red wine drunk Qrow
It's a wonder his liver isn't dead yet
I'm drunk, whats your excuse!
I'm a stuck up military by-the-book brat, lol.
Remember when Ruby looked up to her uncle and still respected him without hurting his feelings? Yea, I do
I shouldn't be advocating alcoholism, but drunkle Qrow was more fun than sad sober Qrow.
@@Cornel101 It must’ve been something in the booze.
A.k.a. back when Ruby was still a likable MC and not an annoying brat who looks down on her allies because they slightly disagree with her. I went from calling her best girl to saying: “fucking remove her from the show, the real main characters are Ren, Jaune and Oscar”
@@federicomalcotti9060 I hate how Jaune got all the important scenes. In 7 and 8.
@@spritemon98 Jaune got important scenes in volume 7?! You might be as drunk as Qrow
I like how Qrow's getting hit and he just smiles
I know right?
He likes being smacked I guess. Winter's speciality
Ruby and Mercury's reactions give me life.
Ruby: HELL YEAH!
Mercury: Oh fuck THIS!
Damien Loxely Mercury and Emerald are cowards, that's why they work for Cinder. They're terrified of Salem, and don't actually want any part of the action fighting for them. Sure, they might be bad guys now, but they might turn good later on.
For some reason i don't see that coming. They are pretty much unredeemable at his point.
It's written as irredeemable and I do not wholly think that they actually are. They've done terrible things, but you can see that they do NOT like Salem or anyone else part of her group save Cinder and while I think that they will not join the good guys, I will at least hope they simply leave her when things start to go bad for Cinder.
Damien Loxely Remember Qrow was there when they attacked Amber
Mercury probably ran away because he was afraid Qrow might recognise and attack him. Then when Ozpin questioned him, Qrow would blow Murcury, Emerald and Cinder's cover.
Watching this, I realize how much I miss what RWBY was. I don't hate the new seasons, but they feel like they are lacking something compare to this
They are missing Passion.
They're missing Monty's creativity, amazing technique with making fight scenes, and passion for prioritizing story telling and character growth over unnecessary fan service. R.I.P. to the GOAT.
a lot of the fights are missing depth. there’s a lot of times when characters will do certain things, but it has no impact at all. let’s take for example RWBY fighting ACE Ops. there’s a scene where yang uses her gauntlets to boost her speed, but she didn’t actually move in speed at all. most of the weapons don’t even have actual transformations now either. it’s just a blur effect and a new weapon
@@azuko2372 Oh they have passion, they just don't know how to make it work
@@renaakatsuki9960 Lol early RWBY was nothing BUT fan service.
Looking back at this fight after the Qrow VS Tyrian fight, either Qrow was sober when he fought Tyrian, or he was holding back on Winter
That's probably true
I think he was holding back here since other than Winter being angry there was no real threat here while Tyrian is crazy and was ready to kill everyone there
Qrow had been drinking and he had been holding back, the cancelled scythe transformation was him taking off the kid gloves. Even in the Tyrian fight Qrow was beating Tyrian, even though his weapon was unsuitable for the situation. If he hadn't been distracted by RNJR he'd probably had killed Tyrian
We've seen reptile Faunus like Ilyia, and a few background characters in Menagerie, but it was never actually said that there couldn't be insect (or arachnid) Faunus
Coder Drelock Probably because she's the youngest character in the show before Oscar shows up, being 2 years younger than the rest of her team
Best part is, Qrow wasn't even trying. He was DRUNK and she still couldn't get an edge on him, whether by actual fighting ability, using dust, or those runes she and her sister seem to like so much.
He's ALWAYS drunk.
other thing that should be noted is that his semblance is misfortune. actually, the fact that ironwood came so conveniently might just be the earliest moment of his semblance in action.
Well, she just had bad luck
Gaby000999 exactly.
Nah, I think Winter wasn't giving her all either. I mean, she was pissed, but given her semblance, which I take is very similar to Weiss', she was not going full summoning turbo there. Besides, Qrow's semblance is missfortune, so, she just had bad luck. Also, if you see the complete fight with Tyrion, a similar sequence of events took place. Up until Ruby interfered with the fight, Qrow's semblance was acting in his favour, but then, him worrying about protecting Ruby got him stung.
Watching this again after volume 8..
I just love how they’re at each other’s throat but then she actually smiles when she sees him after everything goes to hell
" Now, Now everyone... there's a sanction fight happening just around the corner at the Colosseum that I can assure you, has better seats and popcorn. "
that sort of thing is why i love Ozpin
The fact that he emphasized popcorn makes me think he loves it as much as his coffee.
It's not actually coffee, it's been confirmed to be hot cocoa
All the more reason to think he's awesome
omelette. Yay.! Popcorn! 😃
"He was drunk!"
"He's always drunk!"
It's funny because it's true
K.Legend K.Legend lol I know
Yes 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

I like how Ozpin added in " and popcorn " 😂😂😂
I love how you can hear bits of Bad Luck Charm in this fight
6:00 cutest scene ever
ruby:did you miss me :3
qrow:nope
"
Ikr!!
Erick Serick Agreed.When Ruby swings her legs the cuteness just kills me.
Couldn't agree more. How can one "Hi" be so cute?
Glad I’m not the only one coming back to enjoy RWBY in its prime
You aren’t the only one
Same
Especially given how much the atlas ark sucks a big one
@@spirittail4958 Theyer going to ruin the only kingdom I care about next. I love criminal and mercenary kingdoms.
It's a shame that they never really explored why Qrow and Winter were so salty here
Looking back on this, I liked how Winter was trying to shove Weiss away when Qrow mentioned Ozpin
Qrows weapon are like 3 in 1
A Gun
A scythe and
A sword
To be specific
A double barelled shotgun
A scythe
A greatsword
@@josephwilliams8577 and Winter has a Sword with a detachable sword. I think Miles and Kerry even said it was one of their favourite weapons... the sword-sword
Add to that the abilities to turn into a war-scythe and a tonfa that we see later
@@josephwilliams8577 It's also apparently a bladed tonfa
Ironwood: gun-gun
If Qrow could keep up with winter easily while drunk, imagine if he was sober?
Imagine him when he is normal
He'd probably do worse because he doesn't know how to use sobriety
I honestly think Ozpin must be more drunk than Qrow if he forgot that the matches of the tournament were concluded for the day. Thus, there shouldn't be a sanctioned fight.
MasterPoppers he had to come up with something to despress the coward
MasterPoppers He said “right around the corner” as in soon.
I mean Huntsmen cam have sanctioned fights outside of the tournament
is no one gonna talk about how cute Ruby’s little ‘hi’ to Qrow was adorable as heck
It was yes.
Its so adorable
It reminded me of my own niece
Damn, was I squealing with joy when I heard Vic’s voice. He NAILED what Qrow should sound like. This fight was the most ANIME-esque I’d ever witness and I miss feeling this excited when watching RWBY 😢😭😭
Is it just me or Ruby is the cutest thing alive?
Not just you
I can think of cutier. Have you ever played okamiden? Or maybe dark souls?
Luminous Darkthorn or maybe sonic adventure 2?
@@coffee7644 I would say Fluttershy but she and Ruby are both equally cute I can't choose! XD
@@soundwave590 quite a pickle you're in
"Ohh I'm sorry. See I mistook this for some...sentient garbage."

Still love how quickly Ruby switches sides, man I miss this show
“Oh no! Who would do such a tttthat is my uncle!!!”
Her uncle is surprisingly hot
EverShall 72396 yup
Uhm

Also the dad .
That look Qrow gave winter just screams "Hit me again mommy"
regice112 yup
When he pushed his head back and said "come take it" I was like-

Shakeyes Shook yup
Francisco Gallego This is what we call a "fuckfight".
@@khaleesi1032
Sorry for the super late reply. But Winter toyed around with Qrow too in the middle of the fight.
Lowkey, I love how all of Qrow's shit talking here ended up being 100% correct.
Just the conversation Weiss and ruby had during the fight was enough to make this episode one of my favorites along with "he was drunk" he's always drunk"
Vincent Torrijos Not to mention the, "If I was one of your men, I'd shoot myself"😂
"He was Drunk!"
"He's always Drunk!" - Best defence ever.
"He started the altercation!" "That's actually not true..."
Qrow you tore apart a bunch of machines before she knew you were there. Buddy, that's starting the fight.
But when he said "She attacked first" he's technically not lying? So, neither of them are lying.... Poor Ironwood, have fun sorting this one out!
No he wanted to clean out sentiend garbage winter attacked a human first
LMAO, try destroying military technology, then charging the MPs who arrest you with assault.
Actually she didn't attack him because he broke one of the machines she attacked because in Winter's eyes Qrow was disrespecting Atlas you could say that Qrow was "instigating" but he didn't actually start the fight Winter attacked first
@@JasonDevil06 he manipulated the system in his favor and HEs the drunk! Ironwood & ozpin both dealing with major headaches from it XDXD you know your military sucks when a drunk out smarts you in public
I forgot how fun RWBY used to be.
I only watched for comedic 😂😅
Ozpin wanted to see the fight
Free Gmail With popcorn 😂
Free Gmail yup
God, I miss Vic. He was perfect for this role, and this first real scene of his is a testament to how great he was as the lovable old Qrow.
Until people lied to get him fired for no reason whatsoever 😒
@@Panther-Strife4724what became of that case anyway?
@ArbiterofTruth
I'm pretty sure he won, and there has been attacks on the people who lied about him.
but because his name got dragged through the mud, he'll unfortunately never have a roll in much anything again. Funimation is easily 90% of the mainstream anime and as long as Sabat is still in charge and he has his favorites like Monica Rial (two ppl who will inevitably be in EVERY anime as a result), Vic will never voice in anime again.
@redfinale
Not unless they have an unfortunate accident.
I love how Qrow takes a love tap and amplify it to levels that Yang could only dream of.
Pretty sure he's just really strong. And that sword is really heavy, considering what it's hiding...
Daniel Wilson yup
Crow looks more handsome with that hairstyle XD
Can you guys imagine what RWBY would've been if Qrow had an _eating_ problem instead of a drinking problem?
That’s a weirdly specific thing to ask
@@Linosek279 Ayo I mean it's a fetish
Excess or starvation?
6:44 Qrow's comeback gets me every time😂😂😂
Not saying that the animation style for Vol 4 or 5 is bad, in fact they really are a lot better, but I just miss seeing the old animation style from the previous RWBY volumes..
Well, Monty passed away, and considering his work on both RvB and RWBY, he was _very_ good at his job as lead animator. Both RWBY and RvB will never be the same without him.
Your Average Adam Taurus. Not really??
Personally, after monty passed there WAS a dip in animation quality. But if you compare Ruby’s fight with Roman in Vol.4 with RNJR and Qrow vs Tyrion (spelling?) in Vol.5, it seems kinda... slow in comparison. Anyway, personal opinion and all that.
They switched from using Poser to Maya
Your Average Adam Taurus Yeah you're right. It will never really be the same without Monty. I felt that his animation style, especially for the fights, are what really characterized these shows, if not at least characterized into a certain aspect that made RvB and RWBY unique. Again, not saying that Monty's animations are better than what it is now, and I don't mind the new direction that they're going for animating RWBY, but y'know, can't help but miss how it was back then.
From what I've learned about Mounty, he seems to be obsessed with animation/fighting, so much so that he would stay up extra hours studying and animating those characters, he was amazingly passionate with his job.
I won't say the new fight scenes done by the group is bad but.. the skill level shows between Mounty and the others. He makes me want to become the best.
I remember showing my friend this show and saying season 3 is where it takes a turn and starts to get "dark". Then at 3:11 when Qrow breaks the light pole I said "see told you it gets darker" the look of sheer disappointment and realization of the joke on my friends face is something I'll never forget.
Honestly I would have done a public execution by that joke...
Okay can't lie I actually laughed lmao
I miss the old animations so much
A lot more expressive and the fights were so much better
I miss these quick, teleporting like fight scenes.
And this was the peak of RWBY
Even drunk qrow can still kick ass
hes always drunk ;p
*Raven and Qrow might have been working together temporarily, and the when Qrow wanted to mess around with Winter, at **0:47**, Raven decided, I ain't got time for this, and flew away to continue her mission. At least that Is what I think.*
She was looking for the popcorn. A show she couldn’t afford to miss.
The style of this scene is so much better than 99% of the show
Qrow's introduction was actually amazing. "If I was one of your men, I'd shoot myself" 🤣
he was drunk he's always drunk funniest line ever
This is like a Tom And Jerry Scenario where it's on sight for no reason.
Is it just me, or is there some mutual, something, between Qrow and Winter? This scene basically made me ship them.
Yeah same its kinda weird
Elise Leon I like the way how you think
Alex Braunberger Thiose two maybe some kind history
Alex Braunberger Glad someone else is shipping it too, there's just.... *Something between them* I just can't put them into words 😉
Elise Leon Both hostile AND sexual tension
I miss the Black cutout people...
At least we get to see interesting character designs of nameless people in the background. Quite an improvement actually.
We just unlocked the rest of the roster is all. It happens.
I love the camera work. Every shot holds for long enough to get its point across, without being so short as to jar the viewer and give both fake energy and confuse the eye. Each cut happens with an action, not between them, and also contains at least one movement in its entirety to ensure you follow the fight.
Back when Qrow was actually worth his hype and sounded exactly like a grizzled veteran of his trade, not a moody teenager whining over his first man-crush.
No grief for Jason, but Vic MADE Qrow for me.
Watching this again really makes you appreciate how good CRWBY's art has become.
W: “I’m standing right before you.”
Q: Really? *Looks in and focuses* “So it would seem...”
God old Qrow is fucking sick
Even to this day this fight and Vic's performance is gold
