Synopsis

[edit]

Background

[edit]

The story takes place in the fictional world of Remnant, composed of four kingdoms (Vale, Mistral, Atlas and Vacuo), which are under constant assault from the "Creatures of Grimm",a force that has roamed Remnant ever since Humankind has.[19]Prior to the events of the series, the world was overseen by two opposing brotherdeities,the God of Light and the God of Darkness. Humanity was obliterated by the gods, due to the actions ofSalem,a vengeful woman cursed with immortality for trying to manipulate them into reviving her belovedOzma.Ozma was subsequently reincarnated by the Gods to guide a new human race toward harmony and after succeeding, summon the gods back for judgement using four relics, the Staff of Creation, the Sword of Destruction, the Crown of Choice and the Lamp of Knowledge, leading to an endless conflict between him and Salem, as she believes that the gods'final judgementis the only way she can die. The discovery of the element Dust triggered a technological and industrial revolution for humanity.

The deity brothers themselves come from a separate world known as the Ever After (which is the setting of the fairy tale the Girl who fell through the world). Having been created by that world's Great Tree to help it make the Ever After, withthe Curious Catandthe Jabberwalkerbeing their own creations. The brothers' differences and arguments forced the Tree to send them out of the Ever After. This way, they could create and experiment until they understand the true nature of balance, eventually leading to the creation of Remnant. The Curious Cat wished to leave the Ever After withAlyx,the main character of the story, and learn why their creators left, but she decided to stay behind and make up for the damage she had caused, breaking the Cat's heart and driving them to insanity who killed Alyx, with her brother Lewis returning to Remnant and telling the story as he wished it had happened.

In the present day, having formed a cabal to guard their world's secrets, one of Ozma's incarnations, Ozpin, establishes academies in the four kingdoms of Remnant to train Huntsmen and Huntresses against the Grimm, with each academy concealing one of the relics.

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]
"My vision for the show was to present a two-dimensional, toon-shaded look, but with all of the depth and complexity of a 3D-animated production. I wanted to be able to move the cameras and characters freely while still capturing the essence of the flat, line-drawn look of traditional anime."
—Monty Oum,the creator ofRWBY,2013[22]

RWBYhad been a long-standing concept of Oum's for years before it began development. Towards the end of his work on the tenth season of Rooster Teeth'sRed vs. Blue,he developed the color-coding approach to character names and design as a hook for the series.[20]During production onRed vs. Blueseason 10, Oum asked series creatorBurnie Burnsif they could produceRWBYfollowing the conclusion of that season. Burns, worried for the production schedule, told Oum "If you finish Season 10, then you can do whatever you want." Production onRWBYbegan as intended, with the first trailer being finished within two weeks and premiering after the credits of theRed vs. Blueseason 10 finale on November 5, 2012.[23]

Oum designed the characters with assistance from artist Ein Lee, utilizing designs inspired by classic fairy tale characters.[20]Each character has an associated color, and it is the first letters of the main character's colors, red, white, black, and yellow, that give the series its name.[24]The series was originally written by Oum, along with fellow Rooster Teeth employees Miles Luna and Kerry Shawcross.[25]Oum was initially concerned about a story focusing on female characters being developed by a primarily male crew, but said they managed to do well developing the female characters.[23]Regarding the design, Oum wanted to "present a two-dimensional, toon-shaded look, but with all of the depth and complexity of a 3D-animated production". Volumes 1 to 3 were animated by the internal animation team of Rooster Teeth's studios inAustinusingSmith Micro'sPosersoftware, out of assets built onAutodesk Maya;[26][27]however, starting with Volume 4, the production switched to using Maya entirely alongside additional modelling and animation being outsourced to theMonterrey-based studio CGBot. The series' music is composed by Jeff Williams, who previously composed the soundtracks for seasons 8–10 ofRed vs. Blue,and features vocals by Williams' daughter, Casey Lee Williams.

Marketing

[edit]

A series of four promotional trailers, one for each lead character, was released. They were primarily produced by Oum and assistant animator Shane Newville.[28]Each trailer begins by unveiling one of the four primary characters and then showing a detailed action sequence.[25]The "Red" trailer was shown after the credits forRed vs. Blue'sseason 10 finale in November 2012.[25][29]It was followed by the "White" trailer in February 2013.[30]The "Black" trailer was unveiled at aPAX Eastpanel at the end of March and was the first to include voice-acted dialogue.[28]Following the premiere of the "Black" trailer, Oum noted with regret that the first two trailers were shorter and had less character development.[28]The "Yellow" trailer was shown at Rooster Teeth'sA-Konpanel on June 1, 2013.[31]Music from the trailers was sold as digital downloads at several online retailers.[32]

On July 5, 2013, at theRWBYpanel for theirRTX 2013event, Rooster Teeth premiered the first episode ofRWBY,[33][34]and would post the episode to their website on July 18.[35]

Music

[edit]
Main article:List of RWBY soundtracks
Jeff Williams

The music for the first eight volumes ofRWBYhas been composed primarily by Jeff Williams, with additional composition by Steve Goldshein, Mason Lieberman, and Alex Abraham. Williams was a member of the bandTrocadero,who did the music for Rooster Teeth'sRed vs. Blue,and eventually composed by himself the music for the three seasons ofRed vs. Bluethat precededRWBY.Most of the vocals are provided by Williams' daughter Casey Lee Williams, with some additional vocals by Lamar Hall and Sandy Casey.

The soundtrack features a variety of genres, most notably intense, fast-paced rock music. In an interview with Rooster Teeth, Williams mentioned that he uses his lyrics to foreshadow future events on occasion. In developing the songs, Williams uses the show's script and picks out random words and phrases that he thinks are cool. He would also get advanced knowledge as to the character's development, their background stories and lives. He then picks out the emotions related to the scene, adds tempo, drumbeats, rhythm, and eventually composes the song from there.

In December 2022, Williams announced his retirement from music composition, with his daughter Casey taking over as the lead composer forRWBYstarting with Volume 9. She is joined by Martin Gonzales, her fellow Ok Goodnight band member.

Reception

[edit]

Critical response

[edit]

RWBYhas received mostly positive reviews from critics ever since its debut. Commentators discussing the promotional trailers lauded the show's animation style and soundtrack. The trailers prompted enthusiastic anticipation for the series premiere.[25][28][30]When the first episode premiered at RTX, it was so popular with attendees that seating was full at all three screenings. Amanda Rush, writing for Crunchyroll, noted the anime and Western influences of the series, and praised it as "quick-witted, exciting, lovely to look at" saying fans of anime would enjoy it.[19]TheYakima Herald-Republiccalled it "thrilling" and "captivating" and praised its "beautiful" 3D character animation.[76]TheAustin Chronicledescribed the premiere as making Oum the "rock star" of Rooster Teeth.[77]By mid-2013, the series had reportedly contributed to a 9% increase in views for Rooster Teeth's official YouTube channel.[78]Kotaku's Richard Eisenbeis praised the series for its clever use of fairytale elements, fun and enjoyable dialogue, and the fighting choreography, but was critical about the short nature of the episodes, stating that, "The biggest drawback in doing a micro-series... is that there is precious little time for good characterization". He was also critical of the technical issues of the animation, mentioning that the animation is good when the audience is unable to see the character's feet. He believes thatRWBYis "a good first step into a world of possibilities."[79]

Rachel Sandell ofColliderrecommended watching each season as a feature-length film, and argued the pacing the series has "always been a strange experience". She also said the pacing of early seasons "seems strange" and argued that the series took a "long time" to solidify its plot, but stated that more recent episodes are "more consistent" in their structure, and said the series is "engrossing, charming, and fun".[80]Ruth Johnson ofComicsBeatargued that the series has expanded so much over its run since Season 1 that it can be "hard to keep track of all the storylines", but praised the voice acting, animation, and writers, and said that show is "consistently...growing stronger."[81]Eric Francisco ofInversedescribed the series as "beautiful" and "captivating".[82]Anime News Networkreviewer Michael Basile reflected on the series eight volumes, concluding that the plot structure, writing, and pacing has changed since the beginning of the series, praising the writing of General Ironwood and the show's seventh volume, but criticizing the writing, "lack of creativity" in fight scenes, the show's tone, and called Volume 8 "nasty and mean-spirited". He also expressed the belief that the show's ninth volume would give the series a "directional reset" and said that he hoped the writing would improve.[83]

Associations with anime

[edit]

"As huge fans of anime, we are honored that RWBY is the first American anime production to be exported to audiences in Japan."

—Rooster TeethCEOMatt Hullum[84]

Lindsay Jones(Ruby Rose) said "We were worried about the reception we'd get, since we're a western company producing something normally related to Japan. Funnily enough, we showed our Japanese cohortsRWBYand they started arguing about whether it was anime or not! But seeing the reception from audiences is so surreal, and we never expected it. "[85]AMovie Pilotblog listed theRWBY-as-anime topic among its "flame wars you don't want to be part of".[86]Anime News Network writers Paul Jensen and James Beckett wrote: "We don't have any formal reviews ofRWBYhere on ANN, but it is kind of cool to see an American production make it to the release encyclopedia. "[87]Michael Mauer ofThe Cornell Daily Sunwrote that the issue was still being debated among the anime community,[88]while Sabrina Pyun of ComicsVerse wrote "The show is known for many things, from its dubious status as an anime to its unique 3D animation style."[89]However, mainstream news articles dated after Hullum's statement and previewing later seasons and the franchise have referred toRWBYas an American anime, includingVariety,[90]Collider,[91]iDigitalTimes,[92]Entertainment Weekly,[93]Adweek,[94]andDeadline Hollywood.[95]
