I still follow Tales from the Stinky Dragon podcast which is produced by Rooster Teeth. It is a shame that they probably stop the production of it.

yeah, if Rooster Teeth is providing the resources for it it’s gonna be nixed.

I’ve always liked them but honestly it seems like it’s about time. I can’t speak to rwby, but I feel like they’ve been winding down for a while.

Most of the old classics have been, tbh. Life moves on and corporations come for their piece of the pie.

Omegamanthethird,

It seems like podcasts are their main product now. And that should be staying for the moment. That’s what I listen to. I don’t watch their videos anymore, and I haven’t in quite a while.

stardust,

I didn’t know anything about rwby but decided to check out a clip after the closure announcement.

It went from the running animation looks terrible to being blown away by the moves being chained together to form an incredible sequence. Amazing fight choreography that makes me want to check out the series.

100,

clean choreography but lot of the animations look unpolished first drafts and the 3d rendering is fairly bland

GammaGames,

Early rwby wasn’t pretty

Iirc Monty Oum’s fight animations where one of the biggest selling points of the show in the beginning. RIP Monty

Synthuir,

Honestly if you’re feeling that way, you might just want to watch fight compilations on YouTube. The fight animations and the rest of the show were worked on almost completely separately, and you’ll have to get through at least season 3 before people stop clipping through objects, or background characters just being shadows.

stardust,

Is the story good enough to overlook the poor animation outside of the well down fight scenes?

exocrinous,
Synthuir,

… No, sorry. The world building has such a great potential, but it’s clear that they had no direction after Monty’s death, and there are just so many random plot lines that they try to make stick, and then just never reference again. If it was just incidental stuff it might be possible to overlook, but it’s very foundational elements to the narrative that they just drop for no apparent reason.

pjnick,

Hbomberguy has a really good video about all of the problems that plagued production. It’s a pretty interesting watch that covers the way the story was put together, where the writers got their ideas from, and a bunch of behind the scenes stuff.

It’s pretty interesting: RWBY Is Disappointing, And Here’s Why

Absolutely. RWBY set the standard for quality when it came to nontraditionally produced shows online and really spawned a new era of independent media.

NaibofTabr,

There’s a really excellent documentary on YouTube titled On the Verge of Collapse - the Story of Rooster Teeth. Very much worth watching if you were ever a fan of their work.

Ooh thanks. I’ll add that to my watch list once I finish finals…

Kissaki,

Two hours long? Damn that’s long.

NaibofTabr,

It’s worth it. It covers their entire history from the launch of RvB. They were distributing video on the internet before YouTube existed.

CaptObvious,

This is sad. Admittedly the company has seen rough times in the past few years, but they didn’t deserve this.

RIP Rooster Teeth

always sad to see a piece of internet history go down the drain.
