    This has been the craziest and hardest 2 weeks of my life. I couldn't have done it without the members Project ROSE and my friends who so graciously lent me their time entirely for no pay. I'm proud of each and every one of them for pushing past their limit and doing their jobs 3x as fast as they normally would have. So from us at Cake Station and Visual Outcast Studio, here's a little fan animation to perhaps whet your appetite for Volume 9. Enjoy RUBY.

      While the baddies get all the gun play.

      Since V6x6, I don't remember the last time Ruby was shown onscreen firing Crescent Rose at anything.
      And now that you brought it up, I can't remember the last time she used the recoil for movement.
      Same thing goes for the other members of team RWBY. The current depictions seem to avoid having them shown on screen firing Any ordinance other than fantasy shots like Ice.

    This has SUCH volume 1 vibes, from the animation to the cadence of the voice actors. I don't know how I didn't notice it, but the voice cast sound very different in later volumes. The VAs in this video almost capture the characters better than the real actors.
    Despite a few (Namely Yang and Weiss) being not insanely accurate voice-wise, it was really believable because the way they talked was so similar to them. In my opinion, this is far more important, as I've seen some people nail the voice of a character, but struggle to sound anything like them when not parroting existing lines, because they don't *act* like the character.
    Also, as I had previously discovered you through your Volume 4 animation breakdown videos, I was following this video's animation very closely, and I was insanely impressed to see everything you talked about in those four videos on display in this one.

      She had her moments in V1 and V2. Though, nothing like the Red trailer. But considering how that trailer was basically all Mounty, you'd be hard-pressed to find animators that can capture that kind of choreography. I never even saw Ruby use her scythe's alternate form in the main series. Not that I saw anything past V5 so I can't really confirm that.

I'm guessing it hasn't re-appeared at all?

    • @DocMicrowave
      @DocMicrowave 2 года назад +1

      olserknam. As far as I can remember, the last time Ruby used her weapon to shoot At someone is in the ending episodes of V5. She shot at and broke Leo's aura.
      Since then she hardly uses her weapon as a gun. Especially in V7 & V8. Not even for the recoil boost. She mostly wacks away at Grimm with her Scythe now. (Which we also did not see alot of because plot moved her far and away from any generic Grimm to fight.)
      I detect a bit of a left leaning gun control message being injected into the show as of late.
      If you notice, the "heroes" rarely use their weapons to shoot at anything anymore. (At least on screen). Only the "villains" are shown with gun play on screen. Only they are shown shooting at other people, or at the heroes.
      It's all about the optics. Despite one of the original hooks of the show being 'every weapon is also a gun'.
      Now the writers can't have the heroes shown shooting anything. It might be considered a pro-gun stance. Ruby doesn't even use it for a recoil boost anymore.
      Of course this is part and partial to many other progressive themes popping up in the show since V6.
      Last time Blang and Yake shot at anyone was in their big fight with Adam at the end of V6.
      Even when JRY was dropped in the middle of the battlefield trying to get into Monstro, the writers didn't want to show them shooting their way through. So, boom! Next time we see them they are safely all the way in the whale. (Of course the other reason for that was because there would be NO sensible or logical way to show how they made it into the whale unscathed. So there's that also.)
      One of my biggest gripes about the fight on the platforms at the end of V8, where Yang falls, Why did she throw her body at Neo instead of just shooting her!?
      Again, seems to be bad optics to show the Heroes using the gun function of their weapons in a fight anymore. (Also, there was the need to setup a silly BB moment so there's that too.)
      Not to mention, it was Cinder there in the final battle! Why not everybody just open fire on her while she is monologing!!
      Definitely some bit of an anti-gun messaging has been chisled into the show as of late.

Even the personality of the characters outside of the hostile encounter was really well done and well… in character lol.
