PAX 08: Red vs. Blue goes animated
25
Earlier yesterday, the Rooster Teeth crew held a rather interesting reveal, unveiling their latest Red vs. Blue project and it has gone animated. Yup, RvB has moved on from its machinima roots and jumped into the world of Japanese anime complete with vivid imagery and pretty colors. It's still the good old Rooster Teeth humor we've all come to know and love ... just animated with some dancing Grunts. Off-screen footage embedded above.

their series's are great, but i would love to see something feature length, and this seems like the perfect opportunity

I've never found Red Vs. Blue all that funny.
But it's nice to see they're using their own art now, I guess.
The animation has a nice saturday-morning feel to it.

I never got into watching Red vs. Blue. The only episode I have seen was the first one recreated with Super Mario 64.
Either way, this looks really cool and hopefully the style isn't just for this one. I would definitely would like to see more presented like this.

I really like anime and I like Red Vs Blue so this is a dream come true for me. I want to see the proper episode though, not shaky cam.

I don't know if jumping ship on the whole machinima thing is such a great idea for RT. They have done a few things that have sent a few of their fans and sponsors packing in the past two years and this might be to much for the dedicated. It does look good though.

I don't like this new style they're using. I liked how they use the actual game to make the vids. If this is how they're going to continue, I'm done.

Why must they screw up awesome stuff just to appeal to losers who spend their days in the basement jerking off to cartoons?!?

I tend to agree with the whole jumping ship idea. I think the 'machinema' thing is what made it work when it was new. Personally i've felt it stopped being funny for a while, but at least at first it was an original idea.
And saying "I like anime" is like saying "I like movies". There are all different kinds of japanese animation out there. just because something looks like it was drawn by Japanese people, doesn't make it good... We have all you to thank for the 90% garbage Anime all over tv now...woohoo. Please learn to like something for it's merit vs. it's country of origin...

I don't think they're jumping ship, i mean its not like they said this is the only thing their ever gonna make, its not like they wont continue making machima and after this series they might just go back to machima anyway
Also, alot of you guys are saying this is being done to appeal to losers, but the way i see it chances are their doing this so they wont be bogged down by the limits of halo 3's world (in their commentaries they often point jokes at how hard it was to do this one scene or how many times Geof turned the soldier the wrong way and sometimes they say how they wanted to do something but couldn't...to be fair the only thing i can think of was something Burnie liked but everyone else thought was stupid lol.)
Anyway, it doesn't look so bad, its really just Red Vs Blue humor in an animated form with more things going on, not too bad.

I hope they make loads of episodes and make a DVD box set so I can buy it.
At least this looks like a damn cartoon. Most new shows now have awful people who are always flat and 2-D even when in 3-D. Imagine how popular Spongebob would be if it was animated like this.
