News - If you live in the US, you can now watch all 200 episodes of the original 90s Sailor Moon anime on Viz Media’s Youtube channel for free! Viz also added all of the Inuyasha TV series and movies, as well as more recent shows like Death Note and Hunter x Hunter.

I had a feeling when this shot of Ruby alone and saying "thank you" came onscreen near the end of the last episode. It's the kind of thing shows do when they strongly suspect they're not going to get another season.

Here's hoping someone else buys the property from WB.

7/6/2024: looks like Viz Media's bought the RWBY property. Let's see how this goes...

One of the reasons I like RWBY so much is that it's basically the only major positive export / cultural contribution my homeland (Texas) has had since I've been alive, and possibly for over 30 years.

A near-mainstream unapologetically queer, proudly unique, multiculturally-influenced show, that survived the tragic death of its creator, the death of the company that originally produced it, and a sustained and ongoing hate campaign spurred by dudebro chauvinists and pseudoprogressive MediaCrits alike. A veritable miracle, in an era of increasing repression and division, coming out of the American South's AnCap dystopia.

Also, it's really good. If you haven't, go watch it. And if you have, let's look forward to future RWBY under Viz Media.

Honestly, I feel like "It's a web series, not some Disney spectacle" is the best mentality for RWBY Volume 1. It's rough, it's rugged, it goes it with a lot of heart.

A lot of the critical side of the FNDM seem to have some complaints be about RWBY's ambition in a, "if you can't do it or do it right right away, don't do it at all." It's such a non-risk taking, non-experimental mentality that clashes with how art often is.

Real art, be it one person or collaborative. It can be messy, mistakes are inevitable. But that's what attracts me to stuff like RWBY: the human element. The "low on budget, high on heart" vibe oozing from it.

So long as they're not being a jerk about it, artists should be allowed to get too big for their britches. We mock them but it takes a lot of nerve to essentially tear out a piece of your soul for all to see.

IDW Publishing and Viz Media are collaborating on a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto crossover comic series with four issues. Caleb Goellner (Sonic the Hedgehog) is writing the comic, Hendry Prasetya (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) is drawing, Raúl Angulo is coloring, and Ed Dukeshire is lettering. Jorge Jiménez and Prasetya drew the cover art for issue #1, which will ship on November 13, 2024.

Synopsis

It's the coolest ninja matchup you could have ever dreamed of, had you dared! The Heroes in a Half-Shell meet the host of the Nine-Tailed Fox in the crossover everyone will be talking about. When teenage reporter April O'Neil has a clandestine meeting with Tsunade, the leader of the Hidden Leaf Village, it garners the attention of Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. They aren't the only ones who are wondering what the two women were discussing, though. The sinister Foot Clan have their own interest in April's visit, as they think she might hold the valuable information on mutation research being conducted by the scientist Baxter Stockman. With April caught between the forces of the Hidden Leaf Village and the Foot Clan, it can't be long before the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show up to lend her a hand!

The only reason I really want Taiyang in Vacuo is so we can get a scene like this with Weiss and Zwei while Blake is meeting her girlfriend's dad for the first time.

RWBY has always been a scrappy indie production that beat the odds and hit the mainstream despite everything going against it.

Looks like it still is <3

what I’m being told is that Viz is primarily a licensing and distribution company. They’ve done some stuff in house but not much. I rewatched the announcement video, they said Viz will be the home for production as well but that’s a wide term so since details aren’t available yet obviously so I’m not 100% clear what the approach to production will be.

However, I’m being told Viz have lots of money, lots of experience, lots of respect and lots of connections.

This seems like objectively good news in every way

…

The petty part of me also adores how thoroughly this announcement *destroys* HTDM narratives 😅

Not only is RWBY valuable enough for a company like Viz to both want it and have such faith in it, but they *also* guaranteed they had Kerry—one of the people who supposedly “ruined” it

I mean just

Hot damn I would not want to be the people who celebrated RWBY dying right now

They must be absolutely scrambling to figure out how to spin this

How humiliating
