RWBY: Ice Queendom Anime Announced

[Demon_Skeith]

Bandai Namco Arts began streaming an English-subtitled trailer on Saturday for RWBY: Ice Queendom (RWBY: Hyōsetsu Teikoku), the new television anime for Rooster Teeth's RWBY franchise. The video previews the anime's ending theme song "Awake" by Saori Hayami.

Rooster Teeth describes the anime:

RWBY: Ice Queendom' presents RWBY in beautiful 2D anime visuals. RWBY imagines a world filled with horrific monsters bent on death and destruction, and humanity's only hope is dependent upon powerful Huntsmen and Huntresses. Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long are four such Huntresses in training whose journeys will take them far past the grounds of their school, Beacon Academy. Though each may be powerful on their own, these four girls must overcome dark forces and work as a team if they truly hope to become the next generation of Remnant's protectors.

I can't say I saw a RWBY anime coming, but that's interesting. I don't know if I'll end up watching it. I guess it depends on how different it is from mainline RWBY. So far it just looks like volume 1 with nice anime art.

It's gone full circle, inspired by anime, got its own manga and now getting an anime!

Also judging from the winter outfits, this is going into a different area.

Now that it's an anime it gets a rightful place in my BBTAG shaped heart. I feel like this is what will get more people to watch it if they didn't like rewatching the older stuff. Perhaps with a change in tone or story for the better.
