    Any news on Kyousougiga dvd or blu ray being released? Last I read it was said to be released by 2016, but nothing else after.

    Well, the last they said about it was “Coming Soon” back in August when they showed off the final cover art.

    Seeing as how they’ve already announced their release slate through December though, it won’t be this year anymore, but probably early next year.

    Mihoshi

    I’ve drawn Kiyone a number of times, but realized that I had barely drawn Mihoshi at all. So… I decided to fix that!

    Obviously, the finished picture was drawn and colored digitally, but for comparison I’ve also included my original pencil sketch. A reference was used for the pose.

    The shading was the hardest part, and I’m still not entirely satisfied with how it turned out, particularly in the chest area. But it’s good enough for now.

    RWBY Volume 4 – Episode 2

    We’re only two episodes in and we’re already on the feels roller coaster.

    I did not expect Weiss to have a brother (or that her mother is alive and probably an alcoholic). I don’t doubt that Whitley cares about Weiss, but his personality and mannerisms scream “insincere”, like the bulk of his nice-guy routine is an act.

    I also did not expect Weiss’ butler to literally be all of the seven dwarfs in one person. I don’t have a problem with it, but surely there are other butlers that the personalities could have been divided between.

    I love his new uniform, but don’t care for Ironwood’s 5 o’clock shadow. I think he’d look better with some actual scruff, like Qrow.

    Papa Schnee is a douche, re-confirmed. At least we might get to hear Weiss sing in the show proper.

    We keep hearing about Jaune’s sisters. I really hope at least a few of them make an appearance this Volume.

    We also get red blood for the first time since the White trailer, and what is possibly the beginnings of some backstory for Ren and Nora. The way they glared at that symbol/footprint on the ground was suspicious. The same raiders or grimm that killed their parents, perhaps?

    That scene at the end with Jaune training while listening to an instructional video from Pyrrha, and Ruby watching quitly at a distance was heartbreaking. Jaune’s basically just torturing himself with that video. That is not a healthy way of dealing with your emotions after a tragic loss. I would not be surprised if both Ruby and Jaune hit a tipping point in the not-so-distant future.

    Ruby’s dreams were weird though. There’s gotta be something supernatural going on with that. It makes it seem like it was just triggered by the recording she was hearing in her sleep, but if you listen closely you can actually make out some of Cinder and Pyrrha’s exchange right before she was killed, which Ruby was not around to hear. Hmm…

    RWBY Volume 4 – Episode 1

    A great first episode all around.

    Ah, the miracle of birth. Disgusting, oozing monster birth. They were even playing some notes from Merlot’s theme from Grimm Eclipse.

    Did not expect to see Salem again so soon, though now that we’ve seen her she probably won’t pop up again until the end. Cinder is still kicking, though she’s seen better days.

    I still can’t get over how pretty the environments look now, and I’m liking the Asian aesthetic of Mistral’s continent. The new shading looks good, though it could use a refinement in places, hair in particular. Even with some adjusted faces, everybody looks good and still like themselves… except Salem. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but something about her face just looks off, compared to her appearance in V3. Eyes a little too far apart, maybe?

    Rena and Nora arguing over the top two fan team names was great. It’s good to see the show will still be funny.

    Interestingly, they actually confirmed a concept first introduced in the manga. During Weiss’ manga chapters, significant detail and context was added to the events of the White Trailer. One new detail was that the giant knight she fought was actually referred to as a “Possession-type Grimm” (fan translation term, not necessarily the official one), some new variety of Grimm that could possess and control… things, albeit this was an artificially-created one. We see a “real” one in this episode. The Geist, the new apparition/spectre Grimm that was possessing the Golem (which was really cool, btw)

    New characters up the wazoo. The new members of the League of Super Villains are pretty cliche so far, so hopefully they get properly fleshed out by the end of the volume. Given the lengthy focus on him, Farm Boy has got to be a pretty important character too. Were those supposed to be Blake’s parents in the OP? Or at least an aunt and uncle, as I had always assumed she was an orphan, though I don’t know if that was ever explicitly stated.

    A little surprised to see Emerald and Mercury allowed at Salem’s place, they were only pawns that Cinder picked up and not really part of the grand plan or essential or valuable. I only expected Salem only to use Cinder and not a team, although it would make sense because she wouldn’t depend on one person only like Ozpin did. I know Salem had said Cinder had killed Ozpin, but i feel Cinder may have lied or believed she did but actually didn’t.

    See seems unusually… kind… to her subordinates, which was not what I was expecting. Praising Cinder’s successes, rather than focusing on her failures, and even changing Tyrian’s plans from “maiden search” to “Ruby search” to indulge her. Considering this, it doesn’t seem too odd that Cinder’s personal lackeys were allowed to tag along.

    As for Ozpin, Cinder herself never claimed to have killed Ozpin. Jaune just assumed, before Pyrrha went off to fight her. And we already know that he’s not likely to be dead considering the connections between the opening and closing narrations of V1 and V3 respectively. I would assume that Cinder is aware that Ozpin if alive, since she was probably the one who had to capture him. What she did with him after the fight is anyone’s guess. But Salem lying to the others about it means that Ozpin’s death is top secret, even among her inner circle. Which is very interesting…

    Too bad they’re putting Children Who Hear Lost Voices on at 3 in the morning though. It doesn’t look like they’re exactly trying hard to attract an audience for it by putting it in the wee hours of the a.m.

    While I don’t disagree, this time it’s not really about grabbing a big audience. It’s more about programming variety and a bunch of things working out against the odds to justify airing a movie at all. Apparently, they could get it cheaper by airing it later, since the ratings expectations are lower as the night goes on. They think the movie will do “good enough” to justify airing it 3am, which seems to implying that if it aired any earlier, the movie would have to do proportionally better to justify the costs, and not pre-empting the rest of that nights new episodes won’t hurt the overall night if the movie flops.

    It’s kind of a miracle this is even happening in the first place, but it was basically 3am or nothing.

    Apparently, Arby’s is excited for the next season of a certain hit anime series…

    https://twitter.com/Arbys/status/788132639169359873

    Looking through their last few days of tweets, they’ve been posting about all kinds of cartoons, movies and video games lately. I spied South Park, ThunderCats, Kingdom Hearts, and The Hobbit, just to name a few.

    How odd. Cool, but odd.

    It’s been a whopping 22 months since we last saw a movie on Toonami, but they’re making use of the extra DST hour on Saturday, November 5th to show Makoto Shinkai’s Children Who Chase Lost Voices.

    Here’s the JP trailer –

    November 5th is also apparently the kickoff for the INTRUDER III event. I somehow missed the memo until now.

    I’m a bit mad at myself because I went to the RWBY Wiki to check on the relationship between Yang and Ruby, and ended up doing some more reading than I expected. Ok, what I am mad at myself about is that I ended up discovering what

    happens to my favorite member of Team JNPR and now wish I hadn’t. sadface1

    Oh and I didn’t know that about Weiss beimg anti-Faunus when she and Blake first met.

    Yeah, that was… a very bad idea. We could’ve answered your questions instead dawohki1

    And wait, have you not watched Volume 1? I saw you mention watching Volume 2 in the other thread, but the part about Weiss’ feelings on faunus was made pretty clear back in the first season. If not, you should really do that before you start Volume 3 (and the original trailers if you missed those too).

    Some news from the Viz and RT panels at NYCC.

    Firstly, Viz confirmed they will be releasing the RWBY manga. It will be joining the English Shonen Jump lineup in the near future.

    RT showed the OP and a two minute clip from episode 1 of V4, but cut the livestream when they did so. With only two weeks until the premiere, I don’t think we’ll have to wait long for them to put the OP online though.

    In addition to the 4″ figures I mentioned previously, there will also be 2″ blind box figures for sale.

    They also showed off the design sheets for Ren and Nora’s new looks.

    Though it was mostly a joke about how Gray wasn’t completely out of characters to voice now that Torchwick is out of the picture, they did off-offhandedly mention that “White Fang Lieutenant” (guy with the mask and chainsaw) is “still out there”. Not counting Cinder’s flashback episode in V3, he hasn’t been seen since the train crash at the end of V2. We didn’t know if he survived or not.

    And lastly, Qrow is confirmed as the narrator for this seasons World of Remnants.

    EDIT:

    I knew I was forgetting something. The game should be on consoles by Winter. JNPR character DLC will cost about $5 and will be released alongside an update that adds a Horde mode to the game. This should happen by the end of the month.
