With regards to streaming animated
web series, there are none perhaps that elicit so much fandom excitement these
days as Rooster Teeth’s anime-inspired urban fantasy adventure “RWBY.” From seasons
of short adventure snippets the creation of the late Monty Oum has grown into a
lengthy-episode series and general franchise, with a devoted base of followers
around the world. It has also, through scheduling, become something else to
look forward to during the Holidays. Just as it had been since Volume 3
(2015-16) until 6 (2018-19) Season 7 is getting ready to hit the Rooster Teeth
site and YouTube, with its first trailer dropping this week.
Comic Book Resources tells us that Rooster Teeth has released their
preview of “RWBY” season 7 on Thursday, October 3, ahead of the official
release next month. The cliffhanger of season 6 all the way back in January has
kept followers of the web show on tenterhooks with anticipation for what
happens next, as the four Huntresses of Team RWBY barrel into a possible
confrontation with Salem, Queen of the monstrous human-slaying Grimm. The
trailer also serves to depict the gradual character evolution of the four
protagonists, vividly demonstrated with their new outfit ensembles.
As season 6 segues into 7
according to the trailer, Team RWBY and their allies Lie Ren, Jaune Arc and
Qrow, make their approach to the military state of Atlas with a massive
invasion of Grimm at their heels. Atlesian General Ironwood is as much adrift
with the heroines in how to stop this threat, particularly their leader Salem,
who has been described as being both immortal and indestructible due to curses
by the absent gods of Remnant. Ruby Rose, leader of RWBY, has her own emotional
crisis, wanting to do what is best for the world but is conflicted if whether “Best”
also means “Right.”
Back to the new costumes, it
seems to be a handy method of signifying milestones of development in the
characters. While Ruby’s and Weiss’ have minimal modifications, Blake and Yang’s
new duds are plain to see. In the case of Yang, her half-pant half-shorts (with
stocking and garter) bottom signifies a new balance between her original sexy
flirt personality and the covered-up serious mindset she adopted after losing
her right arm in season 3. The new designs would certainly look good on
upcoming tie-in merchandise. Anyway, the RWBY girls need to make full use of
their greater maturation and experience to stop Salem’s sinister plans for the
relics of seasons.
Starring the voice talents of Lindsay
Jones, Kara Eberle, Arryn Zech, Barbara Dunkelman and season newcomer Christina
Vee (from French 3D series “Miraculous Ladybug”), “RWBY” season 7 premieres
November 2.
