>lines >cringe >Miles, Kerry, Barbara, Gray, and Pat (art director) enter >first thing they show is first ep of Japanese dub of Volume 1 >The nip dub is airing on crunchyroll and will apparently air Vol 1-3 as a single season >As a result, multiple episodes from the English version are compressed into one episode to make a reasonable airtime (first ep was beginning to the part where the beowolf attacks weiss) >Other changes in the japanese dub include music changes and cut scenes >For instance, Roman's theme didn't play during the first scene and when Ruby is fighting Junior's goons, RLR Pt. 2 plays instead of TWBTD. >Also, They cut scenes like Glynda scolding Ruby, Jaune and Ruby talking about Crescent Rose and Crocea Mors, and Ren and Nora getting ready. >After they show that, they spend like 30 fucking minutes talking about new figures coming, half of which have already been announced, iirc, and the other half japanese exclusive. They do look nice though >Kerry is a PSG and Gurren Lagann fan. Good taste. (1/3) (2/3) >Then, Q&A. Highlights include: >3 different people asking the same question to the effect of "lol why did the artstyle change" >Someone asks if and when Neo is going to return >Miles takes off his shirt and wears a virgin killer sweater >4-5 people fumbling over their words trying to say "hyuhyuh barbara I love you" >Pat confirms that the beowolf drawings in Prof. Port's class are concept art for an older beowolf design, idk if ever said before >Someone asks Barbara to pun-ish him, she almost calls security >Tall asshole in male Neo cosplay constantly and deliberately blocking the camera with a sign that says "Arkos is dead". Panel tells him to stop it. >Tall asshole in Ozpin cosplay constantly and deliberately blocking the camera with a sign that has a bunch of pictures of popular ships (however I did also see Ruby x Qrow and I'm still trying to recover from that). Panel tells him to stop it. >Someone asks what the panel's favorite ships are. Kerry says Sea Monkeys, Barb hesitantly says Bumblebee (fuck yes), Miles says Nuts and Dolts, Gray says Roman and his hat. Pat realizes shipping is cancer and remains silent. >That's all I can think of from the Q&A for now, if I remember something I'll add it later >Q&A ends, they announce they have a teaser of a trailer they were going to show at RTX (2/3) (3/3) >~5 second teaser of Weiss standing in front of a fountain in a snowy setting wearing her original outfit. Pure white beowolf jumps and attacks her then cut to black. >M&K say they'll show the rest of the trailer at RTX >Also confirm that, since they showed a Ruby trailer for volume 4, there will be a Weiss, Blake, and Yang trailer for volume 5. >In addition, they said the Weiss trailer will be online "about a week" after RTX airs it >Didn't say anything else about Blake and Yang trailers, but I assume they'll roll out in the coming weeks/months after that >Thanks everyone for coming and begs people to show up to RTX.

All in all, a decent panel, for nothing else than getting to see the RT crew in LA and getting that 5 second teaser. 5/10 maybe.

Also, I got to talk to Miles and Kerry at the RWBY meetup on Saturday and learned a few other tidbits of info that they haven't talked about anywhere else (that I know of)

>Cinder is confirmed "early mid-twenties" >The entirety of Team FNKI has designs. When I asked if they will appear again, both M&K said "wink wink wink wink", essentially confirming their return in a coming volume

The most important things I gathered from the previous few days, plot/lore wise are: >Atlas will almost certainly return as a location in the show, at least for one of the plot points. Perhaps we'll actually get to see Atlas this time >cRWBY officially confirmed they have a model of Weiss in her original outfit, and presumably has/will have the original outfit models for the rest of Team RWBY. >Upcoming Weiss trailer almost certainly is a flashback or a combination of flashback+current day. They have no reason to revert back to original outfits now when they took the time modeling the new Yang outfit only to be used for the last 30 seconds of Vol. 4.

and yeah that's everything I can think of. I'll add more if I remember anything else. (3/3)
