"Julian Chase"
I am not a fan of that name.
Even without a main visual to go off of, I assume this show is gonna look like RWBY?

Oh damn that actually looks great.
Now this brings me to my next question...how good has the writing been in RWBY recently?

This isn't the first time they've gotten big hollywood actors to voice characters (Elijah Wood voiced Sigma in Red vs Blue season 10).
Better than the first couple of seasons, but it still has a ways to go.

Seems like passion project for him. Dude likes the genre and is co-producing it.
Looks a lot like Iron Man: Armored Adventures, and that was pretty decent, definitely will keep an eye on this.

Rooster Teeth is owned by Fullscreen, which is owned by AT&T, and they have a successful subscription service that they want to make even more successful. Makes sense.
Also probably
Rooster Teeth started out as needing sponsors to survivor to making a shitfuck ton of money.
Whoah this is a big get, props to all involved.
The little teaser they played in front of Lazer Team 2 seemed promising enough, now I'll definitely be waiting in anticipation for this.

Man, it's all kinds of crazy how much Rooster Teeth has grown in the past decade or so. Remember when they were (almost) only about RvB? Damn. Granted, personally, I've fallen out of their core demographic I guess (not a fan of their recent output) but I'm glad to see them doing well!
Yeah, RT has grown considerably and on if that's a good thing is up to interpretation
Like I said, personally I'm not the biggest fan of their recent output. However I gotta give them credit for coming this far. I doubt any of us, 10 years ago, could have guessed they'd ever be this big (perhaps not even them either).
RWBY still suffers from writing and production issues, but gen:lock really does seem like a much bigger and high-budget endeavour that Gray is really passionate about.
Hopefully they can nail it without too much trouble, since I've kinda lost hope that RWBY is capable of improving at their current rate.

I would say right now their biggest series are RWBY,Red vs Blue and DEATH BATTLE, who knows if Genlock will become as popular

It's gonna be exclusive of their streaming service, so I'm not sure it will be as successful, but it might get them some subscribers.
I have no clue why they do this, it's only going to stunt popularity. RWBY is not following suit thankfully
I think it's because of stuff like this is why they need to guarantee they can make money off it. Gen:lock looks like a tier above in production costs and having hot talent like MBJ voicing the lead character can't be cheap.
That's disappointing. I have little interest in their other content.
I'm way more interested in this than Rwby. I seriously hope they have better animators and don't cut so many corners. I've had friends try time and time again to get me into Rwby and it just falls so flat for me but I'm staying cautiously optimistic for this.
OP
OP
Yeah, everything that is on their streaming service (except live streams) is on VRV
You guys gotta remember that MBJ grew up on this stuff too. I bet 10 years ago he didnt ever think he'd do stuff with RT, the guys behind rvsb. If they reached out to me and i was finally famous i'd do it too.
Thanks.
That shot doesn't look too bad.
Kinda feels like they're going with a Patlabor thing from the pistol.
