rwby Monty Oum, known for his dynamic animated action sequences, as seen through his hit online series Haloid and Dead Fantasy on YouTube, comes his latest project - RWBY. No you didn’t read that wrong, the ‘W’ in the title is not a mis-type but an acronym, whereby RWBY stands for the first letter of our four main heroines of the series Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang who all form as a team in their study at Beacon Academy. The series is set in an alternate fantasy universe where monsters run amuck and we source our power from what is known as dust. In this world Beacon Academy is a school that trains the country’s best and brightest to become Hunters and Huntresses to fight the monsters that roam this world and so focuses on their experiences.
There are clear influences from anime in both animation style and plotting that is sure to entice all you anime fans out there. Meanwhile the monsters and weapons are equally as creative as each other and lends itself to some breathtaking action sequences between them. Whether you’re a fan of Monty, himself, Rooster Teeth or anime in general RWBY is a series not to be missed. It’s a much watch for the sheer creativity and fun of it all.
