RWBY

Episode 16: Black and White

Available to the public in ~6min from this post. Episode length is about 15:30.

EDIT: There is an extra scene after the credits!

 Spoiler

Sun's Staff is ridiculous. Staff that turns into nunchucks that double as guns? wut

Sun landing on Roman's face might have been the best thing ever.

Always nice to see Blake/Gambol Shroud in action.

ALSO PENNY HOLY pomegranate WHAT WAS THAT

I'm glad the whole Blake/Weiss problem was resolved so nicely, though. Nice to see Weiss being so accepting (not to Sun, but whatever).

 Spoiler

Penny strongly reminds me of Nu-13 from Blazblue. Sun's weapon / staff is insanely awesome. Really loved the fight(s) scene(s) this episode.

 Spoiler

I knew Penny was strange, and that she was even a robot, but I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT.

Amazing fight scenes this episode!

 Spoiler

Sigh, I loved the fight scenes, but I expected more from like...the finale. I mean, we got to see Blake fight, sure, but what about Ruby/Weiss/Yang? It was the Penny show, and while neat, was...underwhelming Q_Q.

 Spoiler

and here I thought Penny was related to Nora somehow. Silly me.
HOLY MOTHER OF MOTH TRIPPING BALL SACKS OF FLOUR ME WITH SH'IT STAINED MATTRESS STAINS IN THE FABRIC OF F'UCKING TIME THAT STAFF!

Sun seems to be inspired by Journey to the West.

Great fighting animations as usual *-*

 Spoiler

Fights were soooo awesome, especially Wukong vs Torchwick. I was actually hoping for a Big Damn Heroes moment from Weiss, but Penny's debut fight was pretty spectacular too.

So, the OST came out.
Holy hell is it amazing.

LISTEN TO RED LIKE ROSES PART 2. NOW.

aaaaaahhh Red Like Roses Part 2 is SO AMAZING.

Wings and Gold are probably tied for favourite for the Volume 1 OST, though.

Well, since it seems nobody else has posted this yet, I'll just come out of my perma-lurker mode for a moment to leave this...

AND OF COURSE I'LL BE DEPLOYED WHEN IT COMES OUT FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU--

Rooster Teeth's been doing a production diary for RWBY Volume 2. Awesome behind-the-scenes footage, and I love seeing the process of making RWBY.

Loving Velvet's battle outfit. Very excited to see what her weapon will be (will it have a gun attached to it somehow?).

Also B>Gambol Shroud replica.

It's Monty. I'll be surprised if it doesn't. The only weapons I recall so far without a gun attached to it are Jaune's sword/shield and Glenda's staff.

So the RWBY Volume 2 Intro was shown at PAX 2014, and someone recorded it. Wouldn't call it too spoilery, but some nice details are revealed from this intro.

Monty's statement on the situation (don't worry, he's not condemning you for watching it).

Oh, and one of Cinder's allies/partners/whatever has a name now. Dude with silver/gray hair is named Mercury.

Oh, and the song (Time to Say Goodbye) is available on iTunes/Google Play. So good.

So the Volume 2 Intro, "Time to say Goodbye", is released on iTunes, Spotify, etc...
The full version, at that. And sweet jesus, all the songs foreshadow SO MUCH DARK STUFF.

Besides Mercury's name being revealed, it seems that the other partner's name is Emerald.
