InspireGato Film Perfection

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

jace-rynearson Where to start with this show? It's just amazing, the story and characters are very in-depth and likable, and it's an amazing original idea done right. The animation is unique, it reminded me of an old anime-esque game. Admittedly, though, the animation wasn't perfect, not terrible by any means, but I would LOVE to see it made into a 2d style anime. Still, you gotta hand it to the creator for being...well, creative. Also, the voice acting was really good, sometimes better than even the good English dubs in anime, and I particularly liked Lindsay Jones as Ruby, Monty (and Neath) Oum as Lie Ren, Miles Luna as Jaune, and Arryn Zech as Blake, you could just tell how they loved their roles and did their best. Not to mention that the dialogue was also really good, and helped the voice actors perfect their roles. And by second season, everything in it got so much better than it already was, the animation got more detailed and the voice acting was bordering on absolute perfection for all characters. It's just an already amazing show that keeps improving in just about every way.All in all, an absolutely amazing show, and praise to Monty Oum, may he rest in peace, and may Neath carry on his legacy.

Crazyripps If anyone else had made this garbage they would be out of business. But hey someone famous made it on the internet so everyone just bends over and let's it be. Awful animation with awful voice acting/actors. It's just down right terrible. But hey idiots keep blindly supporting this crap and they will keep getting crap. Don't waste your time with this bs, do yourself a favor and watch something that is even half decent.

Sparse RWBY is an anime-inspired web-series created by Monty Oum and produced by Rooster Teeth. I've updated this review since finishing the fourth season (this review was initially written for volumes 1-3).I'm not going to pretend this is an outstanding series: it's not. In fact, it's not very impressive at all for a vast majority of the time, and is upsettingly overrated. It does however, have redeeming qualities sprinkled throughout that may or may not warrant a viewing, depending on what interests you I guess. I'll start with the positives.The art direction is generally pretty good. The design of the Grimm is fascinating, the sets and scenery can range from good to great (they get better every season), and the costume design is very good, for a few reasons. Many of the characters are designed after historical or mythological figures, and that design will also tie into their personal fighting style, personality, and story arc. What's also interesting is that the coloring schemes are used as a story element—exhibiting certain character traits and plot foreshadowing on a level that will surpass most shows of this trade.The last few points also tie into the lore and story, which are thoroughly designed by show creator Monty Oum. The lore is very detailed and thought out in a way that would require some outside reading for most. Since Oum's passing however, it seems that Rooster Teeth will be taking the show in a different direction than the creator's plans. Though such an executive decision is disrespectful, and frankly upsetting, this review will focus on what *is*, rather than what *would be*. He went out with a surprisingly weighty third season though, with a level of sacrifice and scope that redeemed some of the series' more prevalent flaws up to that point. After that, there is a dramatic decline in season 4 that would suggest the writers were replaced by middle-schoolers.Update for Season 4: I'm going to keep Rooster Teeth's politics in the review's score to a minimum, but there's no other way to describe it other than disgusting. They declined Oum's wife after she revealed that she was aware of Monty's plans for the series, and also proceeded to fire a majority of the animators, choreography team, and writers that had ties to Monty, only to write in their character inserts as central to the story. Not only did season 4's sory quality dramatically decline, but the conditions surrounding it are nothing but despicable. The quality effectively undermines the series' peak at season 3. I digress. . . .Finally, the music is pretty good. Jeff Williams writes not only the intro songs, but does the majority of the soundtrack as well. The intro music is actually pretty good generally, with the first two themes being outstanding to me, and a periodic decline in volumes 3 and 4 respectively. The soundtrack itself is fairly good too, as it employs some clever leitmotivic sensibilities to a small but still enjoyable degree. It doesn't shine high above most shows, and the material isn't overall very memorable, but it is a step up in quality from television's average endeavor nonetheless. Casey-Lee Williams, Jeff's daughter (presumably), also provides the vocals for the intros and soundtrack, with a truly beautiful voice and outstanding range. Now for the negatives:The animation, not including the generally well-done choreographic concepts, is fairly poor. I know animation is hard, but television has set higher standards. To be fair, the quality has increased along with the presumable budget increase, but there is still a sense that the characters are simply paper dolls devoid of weight. The quality of choreography in season 4 however declines dramatically.Speaking of characters, though arranged with the lore cleverly, are diminished to tired clichés. The characters I actually found interesting were only found interesting out of a predisposition liking for that particular kind of character, and at its worst the personalities and the banter between them are insufferably irritating or downright cringe-worthy. This is in no way helped by the voice acting, which generally reaches its peak at minimally passable, and is for the most part—bad. The chemistry between the voice actors is almost absent in its entirety, and that can perhaps be attributed to the generally poor script, which feels choppy and hastily written. The story arc of season 4 however is a sure decline in quality. The plot goes almost-literally nowhere, and there's an oversaturation of uninteresting exposition and new, irritating characters. Individual Volume Ratings: Volume 1: 6/10, Volume 2: 7/10, Volume 3: 8/10, Vol. 4: 4/10, My overall rating: 6/10 (≈ D-)I personally would like some of my time back, though again, there are redeeming aspects here and there that don't make it a complete waste of time. So watch it if it interests you. Don't if it doesn't. If you care about plot or characters though, it's probably best to steer clear.

dejomasters This show looks like an Indie game from the early PS2 era. It looks like it was animated by those companies who make ripoffs of Disney movies that you find at the dollar store. It looks like it was made by a 3-year old who just took a "My first animation" course, which he failed, because he's 3 and can't grasp the concept of computers yet. Things phase through each other like it's nothing, there's no shading, and, for being made for English voice actors, it makes it all the sadder that the lips movements never sync up with the dialogue. I have nothing against Rooster Teeth, I really don't, and my friends even recommended this show to me repeatedly, but I found the animation so jarring and uncanny that I can't give it anything more than 1 star.
