    I've been looking forward to this. Haven't started it yet, and let a good back-log accumulate. Time to go back to Remnant, and Beacon, one more time. Might be the last time for me, for awhile.

    I honestly forgot about Code Lyoko until you mentioned it, that was my shit when I was a child. I use to come home from school and watch it on TV when it was airing.

    Super Excited to see this series with y’all. One of many shows I forgot to keep up with because there’s just so many GOOD dang shows out nowadays. But yeah, I was always charmed by the characters, the music, and the choreography of combat.

    So, if you guys are enjoying the writing at all, then you should definitely try out Red Versus Blue. It starts off very simply, given it was Halo CE machinema, but it's all the original crew of Rooster Teeth and after a few season they are firing on all cylinders for their comedy. Burnie Burns was one of the strongest pieces of the team for so long.

    So I’m not huge on this series anymore (I’m pretty critical of the writing) but I think it is a super fun watch and I am excited to see y’all react. I am also terrified, this show has one of the most annoying audiences I think I’ve ever had the misfortune of witnessing. It’s like all the bad parts of anime fans in one place. IMO, I think this is just a really fun show to have a good time with and not take too seriously, looking forward to reliving it!

      Idk if anyone else has said it, but the first 2 volumes are kinda better watched as a movie because the episodes are so short (and end abruptly as y’all said). Vol 3 is when they kinda get more of a hang of it and it feels more like real episodes.

    Would you guys consider reacting to each seasons soundtrack after each season? It’s kind of a tradition almost for reactors to also watch/listen to the soundtrack of RWBY in between seasons. The songs are semi canon in the sense they can give context to characters inner thoughts. Oh and if you react or just watch on your own I’d suggest looking up lyric videos FlyntofRWBY is a great source for most of the lyric videos for the RWBY soundtrack

    But yeah, be warned about the dumpsterfire that is its fandom! ?

    I actually like Volumes 4 and 5 but that could be considered a rare and controversial take. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    YES!!!!RWBY is my favorite series of all time and it gets better with every volume! Also I see that you missed the opening which must have been cut in the original video. There is a lot of additional content for RWBY like "World of Remnant" which explains the universe in more depth and I recommend that at the end of each volume you react to the songs because they are canon, from the point of view of one or more characters and really good in general. It's become a bit of a tradition for people who react to RWBY to watch the songs so I hope you'll react to them too! Thank you so much I'm having the best day ever now! (Sorry for my bad english, it's not my first language) :)

    RWBY Fandom is definitely toxic... like, all Fandom have a toxic aspect to it but RWBY attracts hate watchers like crazy, and on the other side you have rabid fans that will jump down your throat for criticizing it at all.

    But I'm sure you guys are used to that by now, anyway. Either way I'm so hyped for this

    If the comments didn't already give it away the rwby community is happy you are reacting to this. All of this was done in house and they are fine with channels reacting so if you ever get hit with a copy right claim it should only happen once and then you are put on a list of free to go with all future reactions not getting hit. Lots of info can and will be thrown at you all you need to remember things will get better and worse from here.

    Ohhhh myyy God, I’m excited. You guys definitely need to watch the Red, White, Black and Yellow trailers at some point. And fair warning, the episodes in V1 are very short, depending on your schedules you can probably knock the whole volume out in 2-3 videos. If I remember correctly V2 also has short episodes. It’s not until V3 that they get longer

    Remember, the series went to total shit after the og creator Monty passed away and Roosterteeth took full creative control while going extra woke. It seems like every month people quit working for them cause the company keeps getting worse

      I really have no idea where you're getting the woke stuff from. This series has less representation than owl house and that show slaps. The only thing Monty did on his own was the groundwork for the worldbuilding and the trailers with miles and kerry helping him from episode 1. The thing you're also forgetting is that Miles and Monty were close friends who were always on good terms.

      ALSO SLIGHT SPOILERS SO BOIS DO NOT READ

      I'm sorry two gay relationships in one show is too woke for you.

            Fine. I'll rephrase it. Roosterteeth is a shit company. Ever since Monty died they pissed on his grave and ignored his original plans for the story, they've been retconning characters sexualities, sold out to the lowest standard, and have become a horrible work environment that they get new writers practically every month that quit soon after. Rwby used to be fun to watch but now it is painful and inconsistent. It would take a lot for me to have faith in a company I used to enjoy.

    Another fun fact that you might pick up on is that most characters are named for historical figures, myths, and fairytales. Ruby is Red riding hood, Yang is Goldilocks, etc.

          That’s not really true. The major story beats are largely the same that Monty AND the other writers laid out. Of course, without him here getting to those plot points requires them to figure that out themselves. The team and Monty himself have made it very clear over and over that they wrote the story together, Monty didn’t just do it all himself. Heck, Monty and Kerry directed the episodes on V1 together. Kerry and Miles are credited as writers for every episode as well, while Monty co-wrote a good chunk of them.

          It just always bothers me when people (not you specifically) make it seem like Monty did everything by himself when in reality they did it as a group. Not just with this fandom, same thing happens with Star Wars, ATLA/Korra, etc.

    You guys have NO idea how genuinely happy this makes me. Like, when someone in the diamond chat said this went up, I literally teared up from happiness.

    This is one of my absolute favorite shows, definitely in my top 5, and I first expressed my desire for them to react to it 11 months ago in the Discord server. I even started making a viewing guide for the World of Remnant stuff and other important info.

    This makes me so happy.
