User blog comment:WeissSchneeFan/How did you get into RWBY?/@comment-9090085-20130801234141

I stumbled across it by pure accident: I had just brought up the youtube front page (I almost never visit the front page itself FYI), and noticed a video labeled "RWBY Black Trailer". Intrigued, I loaded it up - and was blown away. I saw elegantly choreographed fights, heard great music (I'm a sucker for that), and even got some characterization while maintaining mystery. I quickly watched Red and White, and I was hooked. It was the show I never knew I was looking for: a show which unashamedly embraced anime physics while keeping the "flash" to a minimum (really, I don't watch anime to see gods beat the **** out of each other).

Hilariously, it also made me pick up RvB again (I had stopped watching after S6 ended), and later found out who Monty Oum was: the guy who made the Haliod machinima I'd watched around 10 years ago; which naturally made me want to see RWBY even more.
