Watch RWBY

Hear me out. I know, with so many shows and movie recommendations being thrown left, right, and center, your list of things to watch keeps growing, its hard to find time, but see, that’s the thing. With the show RWBY, you don’t need time. First season’s episodes range from 4-5 minutes long with the exception of the halfway point and the season finale. That’s right, one episode is shorter than the length of time it takes to mute your way through one mid-show batch of commercials; shorter than how long it would take you to microwave a potatoe; and for a few thorough, thorough individual’s, shorter than the time it takes you to brush your teeth. So abandon your teeth everyone! Abandon your dinners! And give RWBY a five minute chance! Or just watch all the trailers!!!

I won’t summarize the show for you with back-of-the-book type spoilers - its best to go in blind - but I can assure you there’s something for everyone. Action, adventure, sci-fi/fantasy, major drama, MAJOR FIGHT SCENES, a dash of romance, and extremely lovable characters! Even the villains are lovable! In fact, the majority of those reading this, already know and love these character. They’re all based off fairy tales, famous myths, legends, and nursery rhymes, from Red riding hood, to Goldilocks, to Snow white, to Beauty with a fair share of beasts. I mean it, there are quite a few beasts in ‘The World of Remnant.’ But what’s a story without a bit of chaos... or a lot of it, who knows.

I personally have succeeded in getting 14 people (included my mom) to watch and continue to watch this show, and I’m an introvert so that’s saying something.

It’s on Netflix; better yet, it’s on youtube, freer, easier, and litterally a click away if you scroll down a bit. The only reasons people have ever had for not loving this show is 1) voices, there are two specific characters whose voices are very high-pitched, but they both get such great character development that these voices grow on you. 2) graphics: the style of animation looks like it was meant to be a video game, and although there is a game based off the show, I assure you it was meant to be a show. My third warning to you all, and this one's a tough one, please note that Monty Oum, the creator of RWBY, did pass away. This was a devastation for the fans, and a nightmarish thought for those jumping in, but fear not, the legacy of Monty continues, for Mr. Oum did leave a completed story manuscript for his crew, and the show is going on strong! He was truly an inspiration and for this I implore you,

Give RWBY a shot, and watch all the trailers (they're related to the plot.)

Bonus mission: throughout season one, see if you can figure out which character is based off Mulan (hint: he or she is very loved)
