Not sure how many of you follow him, but gigguk has posted a "first impression" video for RWBY, viewable here.


Watching that review video - I am very very impressed. Despite my press for RWBY to be considered as anime - my bottom line does rest on the comment at 1 minute 27 seconds.

Animation in the US is derived from comic strips and even today tends to follow the same patterns


And so, if you really do not like that stereotype, quit perpetuating it. Rolling Eyes This whole American anime deal is about CHANGE. Btw, someone make me an Obama style poster with the word "Change". Wink

And Weiss's tsun tsun is so deliciously tsun!

I don't know, there may be American cartoon series that can try to mimic the anime style, which wouldn't be so bad, sinch most American cartoons are horrible, save for South Park, which has the same craziness and naughtiness of a lot of animes anyway, but just doesn't look like anime! (The style was borrowed, I think, form animations done on Monty Python). The only American cartoon series that was closest to being like anime was Josie and the Pussycats! Not in the way it looked but the way it was done. First you had the pop star idols, which is a popular trope in animes, who dressed up like catgirls, another popular anime theme, then you had Alexandra with her two toned hair who was always after Josie's boyfriend, now how many animes have you seen with that idea, the love triangle type theme!

Alexandra would be a perfect anime character. Actually there was an anime character much like Alexandra too, with the pushiness and grandiose ideas- Hibino from Hime-chan no Ribbon!
