Sourced from Artsation -- Nol is one of the artists on FRWBY (also provided vocals for the V7 OP) and I thought she lived on twitter but found her Artstation by happenstance!

Re: Beat em up. Fair enough! I still think how it's really funny how it took all of Team RWBY and JNPR to take out 1 large Grimm each team, and then Coco pulls up with a gatling gun and no diffs one of the same type of Grimm in her introduction. Quite entertaining.

Re: Viz. Wait, really? RWBY is Viz's first fully owned IP? Wow, that's crazy. I know they had Homestuck at one point but I'm not sure if it was like officially a Viz IP or just publishing rights; they were responsible for the Homestuck books and other things. Though it's debatable whether Homestuck or RWBY has more popularity (it's homestuck :D )

    I still think how it’s really funny how it took all of Team RWBY and JNPR to take out 1 large Grimm each team, and then Coco pulls up with a gatling gun and no diffs one of the same type of Grimm in her introduction.

    I get what they were trying to do, and to don the clown costume for a second it did work on me up until that very thing was pointed out to me when I finally started watching fan content (read: the critics/analyzers). Ruby herself technically does something similar in her character short.

    Wait, really? RWBY is Viz’s first fully owned IP?

    I can't guarantee that it is, but Viz is primarily known for licensing deals for manga and anime in NA. All the community talk I saw about it was how out-of-character it was for them to buy up an IP for them to wholly own and whether they were equipped to even animate it again (which there has since been news that they've partnered with an animation company).

    No, I agree with you there -- Homestuck was the bane of the internet in the early aughties before ponies came along, it was posted everywhere. On top of that, we're about to get a HUGE wave of brand-new Homestuck fans because Vivziepop's studio is making an animated series out of it. RWBY had a surprisingly large fanbase, but like 90% of it was made of RoosterTeeth fans and it has had a rough time over the decade-plus of its existence, rarely ever breaking containment.

    Wait does she? I thought it was only wolf Grimm, unless I'm misremembering. She does kill a whole lot of them though.

    This is news. I hope the animation studio can live up to Monty's legacy, and also that whoever they put on the writing team is a better writer than Miles and Kerry. Apparently there was an animatic preview of some stuff for Volume 10 and Critter's breakdown was... quite scathing.

    Is it confirmed for release? I thought they released the trailer and opened the shop to gauge consumer interest in an animated series, which tbf I think Homestuck has faded from popularity and publicity and is now mostly a cult classic.

    I think you're thinking of the Red Trailer -- I'm talking about the V4 Character Short. I don't blame you if you never saw any of the Character shorts leading into V4, 5, and 6, they weren't very well advertised or integrated. I myself saw the V4 character short the first time around and then never any of the others until my latest rewatch (the one that started this whole fandom dive).

    Yeah, about that...

    Apparently there was an animatic preview of some stuff for Volume 10 and Critter’s breakdown was… quite scathing.

    Oh, the V9 epilogue animatic? That's basically semi-canon and was released seemingly because they thought that was it for RWBY because of RT's shutdown. It's likely that parts of that will be integrated into V10 but a lot of it will likely end up on the cutting room floor. There was a brief time where that animatic gave birth to Nora/Velvet "finding herself out" shipping, tho. TBH I don't think the animatic was awful but that might be because of the absolute tire fire that was RWBY: Beyond.

    TBH, I don't know. I don't keep up with these things and just assumed that they did the trailer to drive hype because they made an entire new studio for it (or like, secondary studio-thing? It's not the same Spindle Horse name). But even seeing glimpses of the Hazbin/Helluva fandom I expect there to be a lot of people (especially young people) to be checking in and following this "new Homestuck thing" animated by their favorite studio.
