Wasn't it more Pyrrha they've been seeing up flags for?

Anyway, great episode, it's nice house you can see the quality of the animation improve each season.

The scene at the beginning was wonderful, really poignant.

Fight was pretty decent, especially the Team RWBY Fastball Special. Blake was adorable and Emerald as... snarky as always.

Ren's new voice suits him, I think.

Liked it! Very!

The fights didn't felt as fast as they were in the first 2 seasons but the person who did most of the choreography sadly isn't around anymore.

Other things:
All those non silluette people! *o*
Was Blake always this expressive!? ôo
Twin tails Neopolitan!? Hell yeah!

So... Ren is now voiced by Monty's brother.
No Penny

It's because he was a static model, rather than animated, like everything else.

As goes Pyrrha, so goes JNPR.

The voices seemed slightly different on some characters...

Well, as has been stated before, Mercury is now being voiced by Yuri Lowenthal, taking over for JJ Castillo, who left Rooster Teeth, and Neath Oum is taking over voicing duties for Lie Ren from his late brother Monty. As for the rest, you can probably chalk it up to gained experience.

Looks like Nora's not really that comfortable with actual competitive combat.

Wandering Soul · 2015-10-25, 23:01

Good episode. The fight was alright, Blake was cute, and the new voices work well.

It's sorta weird to see Nora being so pessimistic.

Twi · 2015-10-26, 05:19

I'm more concerned about the fact that they're both orphans.

DMurphy · 2015-10-26, 07:53

Incidentally, I thought Neath Oum did an excellent job with Ren in this episode. Obviously, the circumstances of him taking over are awful, and it's a difficult situation, but he did really well.

Sounded good, but he barely had any lines.

Seriously expecting a Ron Stoppable development for Jaune in the tournament, it is only fitting it happens.

So nothing's changed, then.

Yeah, he had more lines in this episode than Ren usually has, even in Ren-heavy episodes.

He ain't Ron Stoppable until he loses his pants.

He also needs a naked mole rat.

Off question, who is Nora based on? I always assumed it was the queen of hearts (outfit, crazy personality, "off with their heads" line at the foodfight), but I've read that it may be Thor because of her last name and weapon?

It's Thor, following JNPR's team theme.

Kafriel · 2015-10-27, 04:21

Alright, thanks for the confirmation.

Top Sergeant · 2015-10-27, 05:35

God first episode! My wife and I enjoyed it.
