Is RWBY any good, mastofriends?
supposedly, if you can get past the animation O_O
which um, I can't
(like, nobody @ me, I'm a mutant and whatever, but to my visual cortex that just looks like placeholders done by someone with pride in their work, not a finished product you put out and show people as a "lookit! we did this! it's amazing!")
@sydneyfalk @aprrrl eugh that character reminds me of a girl from high school.
didn't get that far
quit very shortly after the cookies
kept getting distracted by the animation, TBQH :\ but I'm a mutant
@sydneyfalk @aprrrl I only saw the first ep I think, being that this person is literally in the first sequence, thats how I know the char reminds me of them, they look VERY familiar
@sydneyfalk
oh, it looks like machinima kind of
I've seen good machinima.
This doesn't look like it to me. >_> but it is the primary hurdle to overcome, the story's apparently reasonably interesting and stuff
@sydneyfalk okay... I might give it a try. half the time I just listen to shows while doing other stuff anyway
@aprrrl The animation isn't a problem for me. But I'm kind of blocked at episode 16, which I watched 3 times already, and I went a bit past it (like season 2 episode 3) but... it bothers me too much. In this episode, oppressive violence (similar to racism) is placed at the same level as revolutionary violence. And... I don't get what exactly this anime is trying to tell me, but I have the feeling that it's a shitty opinion.
@Nocta that's really useful information and kind of something I worry about from a team of all- or mostly-dudes making a show...
@aprrrl The other people of witches.town that I talked to about this concern told me that they didn't really notice it, and it is okay in the end, something like that.
I don't know, maybe I'm over-reading into it...
At least the topic of oppression is addressed, and until this episode it's shown as a real problem/oppression. (it's oppression against "faunus", people with animal ears/limbs). But in episode 16, the suffering from one of the main characters, which is a faunus, is compared to another main character's suffering, which parents got hurt in an attack from a faunus organisation because they are really wealthy and are an important part of the oppression. I find this concerning.
@aprrrl The story gets worse as the seasons progress, so I've stopped watching it.
@aprrrl It...was promising, and then tanked early and often, and despite promises and promises and promises has not gotten any better. I only heard about anything after season 2 through friends because I called it after that.
@swordjaw good to know
@aprrrl no
