RWBY

[Yosuke-kun]

Blake is kind of acting like how I wished Weiss would have been.

 

Blake is acting like how Weiss lead most of us to believe she would act .3. Lonely, cultured, hurt by the world... Wow she developed quite a bit that episode o.o

[Thar]

I'm still a Weiss guy. Dunno why, but I have a thing for bratty girl characters.

 

Starting to love the f*ck out of Blake as well.

[Fusion X. Denver]

I really do love Ruby for pulling that Scooby Doo maneuver.

And nice connection between Ruby and Blake, it should be interesting seeing their friendship grow.

 

One thing though, I had trouble differentiating the girls' voices when things got heated at the end there. Do some of them share the same VA or...?

[Yosuke-kun]

All different VA's. They just all have the same high pitch tone in there voice, although Yang's seems to be the highest, and Weiss' seems to be the whiniest.

 

Was nice to see the whole team together for the first time too.

[Makο]

Can I just say

 

this is legitimately funny.

 

Like, incredibly so. I thought it'd be super serious (at least until I hit Yang's trailer), so this is kinda nice.

 

 

I can't wait for it all to go off the deep end and the feels start rolling in : D

 

 

Also, Professor Cookie did the anime glasses thing. +40 awesome.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

Gonna have to agree with Loki. Somehow, Weiss's horrible attitude made her that much more likable. 

[Astro Dude]

Hopefully she'll get along with the others in a teamwork training exercise.

 

Episode 4: should be an evaluation of their individual skills and how they would react as a team.

 

Later episode: Yang and Blake vs. Ruby and Weiss

 

Another later episode: The girls have their weapons taken away for not following a lesson about embracing the unfamiliar.

[Jord200]

I know what Weiss's problem is.

 

In her trailer, her song is full of "Tell me who's the lonliest of all." and "I'm lonliest of all." Blake said her family is famous for their shady business practices and partners. Weiss was furious at this.  Weiss isn't a rich ice queen, not completely anyways. She's lonely. She HATES that her parents have bad business partners and practices. I read on TVtropes that Monty said that Weiss wears her ponytail as a way of rebelling against her parents. She wants friends, but has none because she's associated with a corrupt company, and hates being reminded of it. Her Tsundere personality doesn't help either, but that may just narrow down to no people skills.

If that's true, I like her even more. If only Yang weren't so badass Weiss would be my favorite.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

Am I the only one who doesn't need to justify Weiss's terrible attitude to enjoy her as a character? I am totally fine with her as a heartless female dog (although I really do like Jord's theory)

So basically, she has a sympathetic backstory, but has been reacting to her upbringing in the worst goddamn way possible.

We all know how that can be resolved though.

 

Or at least me and Kyng do.

[Phantom Roxas]

If she really wanted to rebel against her parents, then why did she say "Finally, some recognition" when Blake said she was the heiress? She's clearly proud of her family, and she wasn't offended by the comment about her family's business because it was a reminder, but because she truly believes that what her family is doing is right. I don't see how her ponytail is meant to serve as rebellion, and her hairpin does resemble a crown.

I like her justification or no. I don't know if what Jord has said is right or not.

That's very logical. I think she's just naturally a jerk to everyone. PROBABLY because she's lonely, but that probably has nothing to do with her family.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

Conspiracy theories aside, Weiss's whole sarcasm bit was hilarious.

[Phantom Roxas]

Yeah, I'll admit that was funny.

[Merci]

*nods* I agree with this.

 

Well, I think it's related to her family a little. Maybe she has issues with them (and why is she attending a hunting school like that anyway, when she should be studying to take over the family business?), but she doesn't mind using them for her own benefits. While it isn't the best comparison, maybe a bit like how Toph from Avatar flaunts her 'Beifong' status all the time?

[Phantom Roxas]

Eh, knowing how things like this work, she's simply at the academy as another part of her preparation for taking over the company, presumably because heiresses need to know everything there is ever.

[Pichu]

In the sleep over situation, I'd be Yang. I would so be the guy looking at all the boys.

[Astro Dude]

episode 4?

[Yosuke-kun]

Comes out pretty soon I think. I'd have to check RT though

 

EDIT: Yeah, like 3 hours or so.

[Phantom Roxas]

The episodes tend to come at 5:00 PM PDT, so don't expect it earlier than that.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

So anyway, the episode was nice. Once again, it was a little short, but they managed to cram quite a lot of characterization into it. Oh, and Weiss wasn't terrible.

[Phantom Roxas]

Wow, they added a whole extra minute to it!

 

I like Ren, but wow was the animation on his weapons lazy. They didn't even show them folding into his sleeves. And with Pira, I'm going to pretend she has magnets in his gloves, because it seemed like her spear was pulled towards her arm rather than her just taking it out of the pillar.

 

Surprisingly, I actually didn't mind Weiss so much in this episode. She did get carried away with being the best, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been, and she had every right to be rude to Jaun.
