User blog comment:WeissSchneeFan/How did you get into RWBY?/@comment-11188061-20130802012431

Quite a number of years ago, I noticed by accident a 10 minutes fight anime in the middle of the night titled 'Dead Fantasy 2'. I believe that I may have been searching for videos for something Final Fantasy related and somehow it showed up on my search. It had hooked me to the screen within the first minute of the show, and I dragged my cousins (who happened to be in the house) by their necks to watch it with me. I've never felt a better adrenaline rush in my life watching a Youtube video (like, seriously, that was the one time I literally jumped with excitement).

Fast forward a couple of years. Despite a couple of new releases of the Dead Fantasy series (I believe it's still stuck at 5 now, and did not make progress for many years), my interest slowly faded because of the lack of updates. Over time I've forgotten about it completely, and along with it Monty Oum too.

But apparently, my fate has yet to abandon the artist who produced that miraculous anime battle show. Through pure coincidence, again while I was searching for random videos on Youtube, I came across his name but could not for life remember it. One of the reasons was that the uploader was RoosterTeeth, and well, I had no idea who they were. Still the thought stuck to my mind like a bug, and I opened it to watch. By then I finally recalled who Monty Oum was and thought, "Eh, I thought he's working for Sega or something? Probably just a fluke."

And then I watched the trailer. I believe it was Red's. By the end of the show, my thought process had taken a complete 180 turn. There was no mistaking that signature, absolutely unique style of battle scene directing.

That's how I found RWBY.
