My only problem with volume 4 and some of volume 5 is that it felt like the animation was still pretty of floaty (way more in volume 4 than 5). After that, it feels like the animators got used to the software, and it feels like the characters fight with proper weight again. My favorite volume may be volume 6 for the story reveals, ice flower moment(s) (including the last few frames of the V6 opening), specific "new" characters, and a particular grim situation that really scratches the horror itch.
There definitely was a sense that I had as well when I watched Volume 4 that the animators were really trying to get a handle on the new software, considering just how huge a tech jump it was going from a janky software like Poser Pro to an industry standard like Maya. Especially when you compare between Volume 4 to Volumes 5 and 6, you can really tell they were getting used to it and getting better at doing not only fights but also the smaller more subtle animations. Vol. 4's character animation feels more stiff compared to 5's, and the fights especially there's an immediate jump in the quality of them.
It's kinda like when you look the animation/visual quality of Volume 1-3, how Vol. 1 looks super rough and often janky, but by Vol. 3 it had gotten a lot more fluid, detailed, and the animation felt a lot more natural to it. Same with them using Maya.
I don’t think this volume is bad, but this is when I looked back at what I have liked about the show, and this was the least of that. There are certainly things here to like, and it may objectively be better than, say, volume 1. Even so, I think this is when I felt like it wasn’t “Rwby” anymore
Its kinda hard to pick my favorite season of RWBY. 3-4 probably have the most nostalgia value for me. V6 has BOTH my TWO favorite episodes of the series, but then also something I really wish had been handled different, and then everything since Volume 7 has been a solid 8/10 for me overall, rather uniformly.
Monty was an absolute genius in regards to fight choreography, like, that's actually what he was hired onto Rooster Teeth for, and he had an amazing idea for a story. But what Monty was not great at was writing, so he handed that off to Miles and Kerry, Monty had a general idea, and specific story beats, but they did most of the writing. Monty relied heavily on the "rule of cool" which is why power scaling was really weird in the first few seasons (like a handful of kids winning in a fight against a high tech military battle mecha) Monty was amazing at a LOT of things but writing just wasn't one of them. They've talked about it before in podcasts and commentaries, and a few other places, even Monty said it a few times before he passed. One of the main complaints, and why some people claim the show went down hill after he died, was that Miles and Kerry were "ruining" Monty's vision, but from day 1, they already knew where the story was going.
As far as what season is my favorite, honestly, it's really hard to pick because every season just gets better and better, I've been a fan since all we had was the red trailer and I've loved every second of this show. Volume 5 is actually pretty high on my list because I love the dialogue heavy set up stuff too, it's just hard to rewatch due to the funky timeline stuff.
I’ve thought for a while that the reason why things took a more story heavy approach with more of a focus on Dialog following volume 3 was the loss of Monty. That may seem obvious, but what I mean is that the first two and a half volumes were basically a vehicle to show the best fight choreography you have ever seen, and the rest was just kinda there to make that happen. But without Monty, they couldn’t rely on a rule of cool approach to storytelling anymore, so the entire focus of the series shifted to something that I think is more concrete but less visually stunning, despite the higher polish.
My favorite season is number 6, because of the best character ever. You'll meet her right after the season starts.
people problem with this season is it mainly the main characters is separated for the majority of the season and mostly talking i notice with people that watch shows and play games like this is wanting action none stop and a hour long episodes they dont like story jumping time jumping to different characters every episodes and just the characters just talking for the whole season witch granted i am with them i want that too but in shows and games like this you have to have those moments because if you just jump into action you dont know anyone or why they are fighting
IMO opinion the peak of the series is the second half of Volume 8 and all of Volume 9. I don’t think there’s a single episode in that set that misses.
Please go back to the other format so the screen won't get blocked.
My favorite volume is... hmm... probably 8.
If I had to rank them:
1. V8
2. V9
3. V7
4. V6
5. V4/V5
6. V4/V5
7. V3
8. V2
9. V1
v1 was the best for me i think just because v1 and v2 had more comedy aspect to it then it started to get into seriousness and story focus and i cant say anything else really without spoiling it but it get into thing i dont really get into just because no matter how you view it. it going to be wrong to someone and they just want to fight about it instead of just saying ok that your believe and her why i believe in it this way and let bygone be bygone cough couch (v7-v8) i really like v9 too it was a cute little season i do wish if they was going to do a season like that they should have at least had the next season confirmed tho because now the story is in limbo and the way v9 ended sucked with so many things being left up in the air and as a person that dont like waiting for a new season to come out hell to wait for thing in general having that type of ending and no new volume confirm is annoy the hell of it is if i remember correctly didnt they say they was going to start making v10 just so if it get pick up they would have it to go and ready. just man i really want a conclusion to it people being making guesses at it since Salem been introduce just want to know how it ends at least even tho they could do at least 2 more volumes but they could squeeze it into one people might not like it but at least it would be finish
anything after 5 is really when the writing went down hill the worst V8 was a mess...
So glad to see you guys still loving the show, the later half get way too much hate for how fun it is.
Glad you guys are still locked in on RWBY! I think my favorite is probably Volume 8? 9 and 3 are also very close though. Theyre all very good in my opinion. Like the person before me said, RWBY is really good and enjoyable when you don't have a bitch in your ear saying it sucks lmao.
This is awesome when there's not someone in your ear telling you it sucks
Personally one of the reasons I'm here is because you guys generally see the positive side of things, and I'm glad you're digging RWBY. I really enjoyed 9, but if I had to pick a least favorite it might have been 8, so if that one feels rough I'd say stick it out to 9. But I did feel the initial annoyance with volumes 4 and 5, it just wasn't enough to make me stop watching. BUT, while I can't really know what drove most people off other than the folks who were only here for the fights, for me personally what made volume 4 and 5 rough was the episodic releases, because I was fine with them as complete volumes and they have such strong moments that make the buildup worth it, heck maybe the buildup makes it better. The shippers got pretty toxic though . . . as they tend to do.
That's kinda funny, your least favorite is my most favorite lmao
My favorite season is season 9 they cooked
Ya'll know I love your beautiful faces, but they're covering up way too much of the video. I preferred when the video and your guys' faces had their own spaces.
It helps avoid copyright problems on YouTube I bet
this show has never had that problem with any channel
In the past this was true, though lately people have gotten some issues, even if a report/request solves it.
Volume 6 is my personal favorite. The lore drop is unmatched ?
I remember when I first got into this show when it was on hiatus between volume 6 and 7. I watched volumes 7 through 9 as they were released and would always see YouTube videos from different people just talking about how much they hate it. Like why do you keep watching then? But overall it’s a toss up between volume 4 and 7 being my ultimate favorites.
There is so much shit you guys watch that I couldn’t care less about right now, but someday I might, and it might bring me endless entertainment, so thanks.
Ozpin casually shutting down potential fan theories about his cane being the relic was fantastic
15:46 This was a popular theory for what the Relic of Choice (Beacon's) was, so this was a nod to the fans who were wondering about it, iirc.
It would have to be. Realistically, nothing about what was said would prompt Ruby to ask that.
My favorite season is volume 6. Seriously heavy lore and dark atmosphere mixed with a few lighthearted and bittersweet moments.
And you guys are right with the time difference between Blake and the rest of the gang. Blake’s POV is set two weeks before everyone else so that’s why it may seem a bit confusing. Volume 5 does get a lot of undeserved hate just because of how the pacing of events are.
While I do think it could’ve been done better if they had more budget and resources, what they did make is still incredible and still glues you to your seat. The combat is still eye catching, the storytelling and world building is gorgeous, and the character development is very relatable.
Volume 6 and onward, is PEAK, ESPECIALLY Volume 9 #GREENLIGHTVOLUME10
7is filled with horible writing with some good moments but really dumb writing choices characters make no sense and literal plot armor where horible decitions by team rwby magicly get made right despite how ilogical and dumb they are
Isn't that like the entire point that they're not sure if they're making the right choices?
that's just like, your opinion man
i still love that season
Volume 7 is peak cry about it
It’s nice to see reactors who are fellow “dialogue nerds”, it’s stupid but I sometimes get frustrated seeing people equate that aspect of storytelling as “infodumping” (half the time it’s not even that) and unnecessary. I think that’s why I enjoy y’all as reactors because y’all take time to talk about and digest that stuff (and tbh the fact that y’all are forgetful sometimes kind of adds to the fun LMAO)
Definitely wrapping up now, I do agree a lot with your end discussion I wish more people thought like that
I very much enjoyed volume 8 personally
My favorite volume is 6, with 7 (over 8 or 9) being next but mostly because i'm a sucker for the seasons with new outfits.
My favorite was Volume 4 because I liked the travel, the lore building, stakes increasing, new Grimm, and plenty of Qrow moments. ?
I'm glad you guys are enjoying V5. Volume 5 is very over hated in my opinion. I do think it's the weakest volume because of it's pacing, but it's not the dumpster fire a lot of people make it out to be. But it had a lot of budget issues. My favorite volume is a tie between volume 7 and 9.
