The year is 2013. You’ve just finished Highschool and you’re attending your favorite local convention, RTX, in line for the world premier of their new show. For the past 6 months you’ve binged their trailers. You’re hyped. You recently got into this “anime” thing, and you trust Monty Oum implicitly. How can you not? His passion is infectious. The doors open, you take your seat, the lights go down and the screen plays… RWBY. Fast forward almost a decade later. RWBY is on it’s 9th season and Monty Oum has tragically passed away. For one reason or another you’re just not in love with the series anymore, watching each season in a vain hope for the magic of years gone by. And then you see it. Studio Shaft, Directed by Toshimasa Suzuki, planned by Gen Urobuchi with designs by Steins;Gate’s Huke… RWBY: Ice Queendom. Hope. It doesn’t last long.
