>Contest extension

On one hand I'm like a third of the way in at a generous estimate

On the other I always get the most done when my back's against the wall

Shit

Nearly 8000 words in and we've barely even seen any other major characters in this crossover

Pacing why must you elude me so

Please like a hundred words in I've already got Sapphire bloody, beaten, wet, cold, clueless and on the run from the military police. She'll collapse in front of the main character's building at about a thousand words.

Meanwhile I'm stuck on what I want Luke to do during his first night there, before he's found any clues as to a way home. Once I get past that hump, hopefully everything should be a cinch from there as I weave him into the storyline I'm piggybacking off of, in that classic Luke way of his.

What anime?

Successfully landed in Huadu.

Uh.

Outer Guangzhou.

Man, all these metropolises and their tendency to eat up villages.

rest in peace rwby

another one bites the dust

Why do you guys say that...?

One of the major animators of Rooster Teeth (specifically one who works on rwby) left the company recently.

I doubt that'll kill the show. They'll find someone new to replace them, I'm sure.

A major complaint about the new season is the general decrease in animation quality, for reasons that should be obvious (for those who it isn't: it's cause Monty is dead). Having one of the more major animators, while not a franchise killer, isn't doing it any favors.

Shane worked with Monty for 7 years and was a big factor in getting RvB 10 done fast enough for RWBY to even exist. Like Lucius said, the fights haven't been great quality at all with the exception of the last episode (where Monty is credited) and the doubles round with Coco and Yatsu. Having the guy on staff whose animation is most like Monty's get fired (which is what his tweet seems to imply, along with the fact that he's a lead animator leaving his project mid-season) all but says we're not getting Monty's technique, choreography, or animation style back any time soon. If ever.

Hmm. True. Rooster Teeth definitely hasn't been having the best of luck with RWBY has it?

To be perfectly frank, the animation was what the show's been leaning on, too. While I greatly enjoy RWBY, the plot is average at best. Volume 3 has been a substantial boost in writing, and the show's had a boost in the technical aspect of the animation (especially regarding facial animation and such), but it's accompanied by a frankly massive drop in the quality of the fights. None of the other animators had Monty's grasp of flow in combat, let alone the ability to animate the fights and make them feel real. The choreography, and the incessant jump cuts, have been severely detrimental to all but a few of the fights in this volume.

The fights are technically faster, but that's to try and make up for the fact that the flow of motion is slower. Not to mention the fact that none of the blows (again, certain fights exempted) actually have any weight behind them. Monty's great fondness for Hong Kong action films shining through there, to be quite honest.

This isn't the death knell for RWBY, but it's adding a big old weight when RWBY just finished getting past the loss of Monty.

For everyone in the contest, the deadline has been extended to January 17, Night, pacific time. Note that I start school that day tomorrow meaning it will take some time for me to judge your contest entries.

Losing Monty and then Shane is pretty big. So my irk with season 3 is the animation decrease due to the events that befell RWBY but the story is improving but being one of the earliest fans, I have mixed feelings about RWBY in the future.

As a story, RWBY will continue just fine.

As a show, RWBY is pretty much dead unless they can find somebody with the understanding behind Monty's epic style.

I've been dealing with a lot of things on my side (studying for AP tests is pretty demanding for me now), so my activity is noticeably low.

I will post asap! Probably tonight or tomorrow.
