I started watching RWBY today. Volume 2 to be exact, as I got the bluray/dvd combos for 2 and 3. (the dvd copies of volume 1 at the local HMV sold out last week before I could get them.)
Now. All I knew about this going into it was that it's produced/published by Rooster Teeth. The same guys that started the whole Red Vs Blue show and ... accidentally became a hit.
There was something about the show that seemed familiar as I watched the first battle scene on Volume 2 (A food fight of all things. ^^) "Damn... this feels familiar. Why..." so I did some searching.
Turns out the guy who did the animation is the
same guy who did
Dead Fantasy like a decade ago.
Read the wiki. :/
