just look at the official box art Poser uses to market itself. As a special treat, here is a little introduction to RWBY (pronounced “Ruby”), an anime anime-style web series by the folks over at Rooster Teeth Productions. Poser isn't never has been and never will be an animation program, nearly nobody knows how to use it that way and Maya is capable of far more. Poser pro rwby series So I started watching this for the action, which meant that while my expectations weren’t necessarily low for the other elements, I wasn’t watching this for the plot or the characters. If you haven’t heard of it yet, I think you may like it.įirst of all, I suppose I should explain why I’m talking about this. So it can’t be anime, right? It’s not Japanese! It’s not even animated like most anime! It’s totally different! I mean, it’s not anime, right? It’s made by Rooster Teeth Productions, an American company based just down the road from me in Austin, TX. But after seeing the trailers (there are four of them) and watching the first episode, I can tell you this: it tastes like anime. This may not be anime by the technical definition, but it has the soul of anime. If you like anime – at least, the kind of anime I’m about to liken this series to – then you should check RWBY out. It will air every Thursday, starting from last Thursday and ending in the second week of November, and you can catch it on the RWBY area of Rooster Teeth’s site.

This is stylish action ala Devil May Cry or Black Rock Shooter – in fact, if you likened the series to an extended video game cutscene where you never actually have to pick up the controller, you would be close to the truth. The action is energetic and kinetic, with the characters pulling off stylish and ridiculously cool moves that are just a treat to watch. That’s what first intrigued me about this series after watching two of the trailers, and the first episode did not disappoint. I really don’t feel like I can do it justice with words, so check out a trailer if you want to know what I mean. ![]() Personally though, I would probably start with the first episode.
