User blog:Maki Kuronami/Lesson 29: NEOTAILS

So Twintails-tan. Fancy new character in the trailer.

Fucking turns out she's our resident smug Napoleon, Neo.

From here on out, I'm referring to Neo's new appearance as Neotails. Because I'm an uncreative bastard.

Anyways, a new volume, so a new blog on a new thing. New.

We start out in the same way the Red Trailer started: Summer's Altar.

Ruby has a touching moment with Mama Rose which is actually a pretty moving scene, in the wake of what happened this year.

Then Taiyang pops up for the very first time....... in 2d form.

Now I generally don't criticize the art direction of the show. But his artwork... was jarring to say the least. There's such a thing as too much shading.

I mean, just look at it.

Well, anyways, hype fight starts between ABRN and RWBY.

Just by that fight, I can determine two things.

Arslan is pretty damn strong, and Reese demonstrates how Dust modification can do wonders to one's weapon before getting punk'd.

Overall, not really a lot to notice regarding RWBY. They got teamwork down so there's that.

So we get to the post-battle segment. Em decides to test out her pickpocket skills on Ruby before stealing info.

Which I'll predict will end up wrong because Team RWBY changes it in the last minute, so Em's info is gonna become false down the line. :V

More importantly, an intermission showing Cinder's crew kicking ass happens. THEN THIS HAPPENS.



You know what, at this point, Neo always makes the best first impression, even as Neotails. I give up. Everytime someone leaves a unique first impression, I'm assuming it's Neo.

Oh yeah. Papa Schnee called (DAMMIT GIVE US A NAME ALREADY). Weiss does not approve. Papa Schnee will remember that. Case in point--->

Good thing Pyrrha was there to chime in- STOP THE PRESSES

REN IS ABOUT TO SPEAK.

And Neath is about 74% accurate to how Monty sounded. Honestly, I can live with this new voice. Nora proceeds to have a mental breakdown if JNPR loses. But one thing she said caught my ears.

Apparently, Nora and Ren are orphans. We need more intel on them, seriously. The rest of the episode is just yadda-yadda involving Cinder being Cinder again.

Overall, I think they finally managed a balance between the fights and the story. Watching this episode gave me the same feeling I had waay back in Volume 1, with Black and White. Except in reverse order.

I'm half asleep so I think most of what I'm writing is actually gibberish in comparison to when I did this during the morning.

What do you think, everyone?
