like as an amateur web series it's whatever, p bad but there's worse stuff out there

but this series is appearing in big-name video games now

the first few seasons have a couple neat fight scenes i suppose, but is that enough to build a dedicated fanbase?

It started out getting most of it's following by people who were already fans of Monty Oum (RIP).

I wouldn't really call it amateur. It's low budget or indie, maybe, but there is some real talent behind it.

Seasons 1 and 2: decent enough mix of cuteness and fight choreography, not a huge time investment

Season 3: holy shit why did you start ripping my heart in half please god stop

Season 4: eh.

Season 5: haven't seen it yet.

For me, it was the fight scenes and power interactions.

Post Season 3, it's been mostly obligation and a faint hope to return to Monty Oum levels of fight choreography.

I watched the first season out of love for Oum and I don't consider it worth it. If fight scenes are all you're after then you may as well just watch the trailers and then go back to rewatching the guy's older stuff.

also all of the villains except for torchwick are laughably terrible

cinder is particularly terrible, prolly isn't helped that her voice actress is the worst in the whole show (LMFAO literally jessica nigri)

I watched the first season, and it was OK, but not enough to keep me watching.

I have seen some great hentai drawn from it though, so that's great.

The first two seasons episodes are like 10-15 minutes each. You could give it a try and drop it if it's not for you. It's really not that great, the best part of it is the Red trailer.

My theory: RoosterTeeth captured a very dedicated fanbase through RedvsBlu and their big personalities and such. They announced RWBY as their next big project and fans ate it up, similar to the Blizzard-fan/Bethesda-fan phenomena. Their big thing about creating 'the first American Anime' also certainly helped to at least create buzz and interest. Their fans being western and watching Halo machinima and podcasts/let's plays are far less likely to be super familiar with anime as a medium and thus don't realize how mediocre RWBY is in comparison to many other works.

My evidence: I have never met a RWBY fan that was not also heavily invested in the RoosterTeeth brand as a whole.

I've seen a lot of people who like it just because they're into everything by RT and invested in it but also a lot of people that have no interest in anything else they do or have largely grown away from their other content but only come back for RWBY.

This is me. Ray leaving made me not care anymore for AH, I stopped watching RvB after season 3 a long time ago, and then I slowly stopped looking at their other stuff like RTAA and the RT podcast. I used to be super into RT, and since I live in Austin it made it very convenient to go to RTX which I've been to twice.

Yeah, already been covered but it was a Monty show until his girlfriend murdered him. The appeal was a semi high-budget for him to go all-out, but after he passed away it was just a Rooster Teeth thing. I'm sure the writing and story got better as it went on, as well as animation but the voice acting is still pretty yuck

I actually watched the Japanese dub with subtitles and it was much better

I also would have severed because of Ray, if not for the arrival of the Funhaus master race.

Funhaus and Cowchop were the best things to happen to the Let's Play family. Sugar Pine is okay, and Cricken is a great cameo in any video he's in but everyone else dragged in has been mediocre at best. ScrewAttack was good overall but when they split into Game Attack it fell off, just like when Creatures split with CowChop

Jeremy isn't the worst replacement for Ray, but Ray knew how to meme and be entertaining. Jeremy's a young Geoff and probably on the road to the same miserable life Geoff lived.

I love the Funhaus guys but I'm having more and more trouble watching their content because their editors suck.
I'd rather them do the longer format AH style videos. I always liked their live streams more than the edited version usually. Even back at IG I liked the live videos more but the editing wasn't like it is now back them.

Spoole and Joel had a lot to do with that, I don't hate the new editors or personalities but nothing beats the IG days where everyone just made fun of Adam being either really bad at games or breaking every game they tried to play

What is this show even about? I watched the Red trailer years and years ago, liked the song enough to put it on my favorites, but don't know anything beyond that. I assumed it was sort of based on fairy tales since it was about a girl in a red hood killing wolves.
