Anyway, where do you guys think the RT properties are going to end up? Feel like RVB goes to Microsoft since its so entwined with Halo. Maybe the Japs pick up RWBY? Though I saw on twitter that Dillon Goo and his studio are interested in RWBY. Which is interesting because not only did Dillion used to be a fight choreography for RRwby, Shane Newell works under Dillion too. Montys OG apprentice or so Ive heard.
I hate to be mean (on Kiwifarms of all places), but RWBY isn't so special or unique that anyone would want to go out of their way to acquire it. Even putting aside the fact that it's no longer popular enough to justify the effort, the show itself is just a basic shonen anime. Japanese studios certainly aren't so starving for choice that they would look overseas for new IP.
As far as Western studios go, it's not any different for them. Making another RWBY would be easy:
-Take a bunch of anime that was shown on Toonami or Adult Swim.
-Put them on a cork board.
-Blindfold yourself and throw three darts.
-Watch some episodes from whatever they landed on.
-Don't hire (or date) liberal women.
RWBY had some good character designs and the fight scenes were pretty impressive, but that's
really all it had going for it. I think it's biggest selling point is that it was an anime-style show made by non-Japanese anime fans, and even that isn't a novelty anymore these days. Rooster Teeth did have something going with RWBY when it came out, but a combination of bad luck and
massive incompetence resulted in them squandering it. It's way too late to to salvage it now.
