Volumes 1-3
all in one packet under the Beacon
name, though this looses DVDs from some previous sets. Ruby Rose,
along with Weiss, Blake and Yang make up team RWBY, four high power
girls defending the kingdom from the forces evil (and teenage drama
and angst). As Ruby and her friends train together at Beacon Academy
to become hunters and huntresses, they learn what it means to be a
team and what it means to be to be a heroine. As team RWBY competes
in the Festival Competition, little do they know their beloved
Academy, Kingdoms are all in danger. Grimm is on the rise. And evil
is in the air and they are after the power of the 4 legendary
maidens.
All
Ruby wanted was to become a huntress at Beacon Academy, to protect
the Kingdom from the wild Grimm of the forest and the mysterious
White Fang organization. As Ruby barely manages pass her classes,
she and team RWBY more than proves their worth in the field, but evil
knows no bounds and launches surprise attack during the school
tournament, they framed RWBY, taken over their own military robot
army, lured an army of Grimm into the city and then sneaked the White
Fang Army in as well. With no army to defend them, and no back up,
the only thing that stands between total destruction of the kingdom
is RWBY and students of Beacon.
From
the creators of Red
Vs. Blue,
RWBY
is like a gigantic mix blend of gaming animation, comedy, action with
anime style characters with gaming drama/plot/story with high powered
girls and boys. You can read more about the separate volumes
elsewhere on this site.
The
1080i 1.78 X 1 digital High Definition image is pretty good
throughout if not always great, while the lossy Dolby Digital mixes
are not bad, but why no lossless or 1080p for that matter? Extras
include a ton of stuff including commentaries, making of the show,
photo gallery, World
of Remnant
and trailers.
