I am far older than most on this forum. But I really enjoy the anime genre. I've written reviews on more than 40 anime series on MyAnimeList and CrunchyRoll. I've learned quite a bit of Japanese, including basic writing, because it makes listening to the Japanese subbed movies and series so much more meaningful and enjoyable.

I'm here because I loved the RWBY series far more than I first thought. In fact, originally, I dismissed the show as oddly experimental. But after watching the first season, I realized that the series had some really great storytelling via a new and unique artform. Although it is a bit visually quirky for the uninitiated, one quickly acclimatizes to the visual style and really enjoy what is possible in the world of Machinima.

Also, I have to say that the music created for the show -- by Jeff and Casey Lee Williams -- is probably the best produced for an Anime ever. What treasures those songs are! Thanks to everyone who contributed to this Series success.

Finally, I must acknowledge the sad and tragic passing of RWBY's creator and visionary, Monty Oum. Life on earth, as in Remnant, can be short and brutally unfair. We all grieve his loss. While I hope to see RWBY go on, I know it won't be the same without him.
