The1gairon Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 ..... oh sorry... where're the aliens? What's all this about being political all of a sudden? .... I suppose it's better because I never really understood the aliens' motives in Season One anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I never really thought of The Union as aliens, but some dangerous nanotech-possessing group of always-uniformed humans who the show refused to tell us anything about outside of how dangerous they were. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did Ok ratings on Toonami but being tied to Rooster Teeth controversy and Toonami failing to advertise the cast, because of course DeMarco wouldn’t mention David Tenant and Dakota Fanning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 It does prove all the acting talent in the world only does so much when the animation is 100% Rooster Teeth QUALITYtm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't even understand the appeal of RT. I've never seen RWBY, and am somewhat curious about it, but I've heard a lot of folks say that series went to shit years ago. I've heard mixed things about Genlock but in general it sounds like it's probably shit too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daos Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I couldn't get past the herky jerky animation. Story seemed ok, but nothing special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll say this much, when it started as a small Youtube original from a studio best known for parody dubs of Halo deathmatches and other fan made materials, it was impressive. When it’s graded on the standards of an actual TV show, not so much. Let’s be honest, the best their animation has ever looked are the little bits of actual animation done for that one fighting game from Arc System Works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I heard though that Season 2 will be handled by a whole other third-party animation studio, which probably means the new management wants it to look more like any other TV animated series rather than that one tiny indie studio of fan animators.
