Creating a RWBY Parody Song (feat. Hbomberguy)

  • In this video I describe how I wrote intro music to parody the abysmal American anime, RWBY (the intro song is for Hbomberguy's video: "RWBY is Disappointing And Here's Why"). In the video, I discuss the anime songs and tropes that I decided to parody, followed by an explanation of my song writing: how I sketched out the harmony, recorded and mixed the parts and wrote the lyrics. Oh, anime lyrics are a funny thing... At the end, you can hear my lovely anime song in all its glory! The music isn't copyrighted, so you can have it for free too!

    Hey everyone - I'm sure you've noticed that is often a large gap between my videos. The reason is that I have a lot of 'regular' work to do to pay the bills. Although my channel is still growing nicely, it's is not yet at the level where I can dedicate the sort of time I think it deserves. So, if you'd like to support my channel, I'd ask that you please consider become a Patron. If not, don't worry. Thanks a lot for watching, regardless! (my Eurovision videos which were taken down two years ago are Patreon perks by the way) www.patreon.com/Tantacrul.

      Absolutely worth the wait, especially because these are videos you WANT to do and don't feel obligated to make in order to please the algorithm. You put so much effort into these, even just animating words with after effects to highlight your points, transitioning between backdrop clips of RWBY and screencasts of your workflow, and the cute cameo with hbomberguy. I'm perfectly content with an irregular upload schedule because every video is a hit year I can rewatch several times.

      Ruby is iconic in design (see all the cosplay), but the narrative and execution lack substance. Some of the set pieces and fights are cool but there's not much that justifies watching the joining content. It kinda veers from boring to cool whilst remaining not particularly interesting throughout. It's biggest crime is the missed opportunity with its premise. I'd recommend just watching the big fights and see if that holds your interest.

    As a pretty devoted anime enthusiast, the fact that you successfully emulated the sound of a certain kind of American musician trying to imitate Generic Hype Action Anime Soundtrack Music and missing the mark a little is really interesting, even if I would personally love to see your interpretation of Japanese pop and rock music tropes and quirks played a bit straighter without that remove. Specifically, "Tantacrul writes a Shinsei Kamattechan song" would slap (although SK are a bit… weird in their own right).

    Oh I love how you dissected the stupid "anime" lyrics!
    I think a good portion of those are coming from the fact that Japanese themselves like to add some English lyrics into their songs purely because they think they sound cool! Also they have a thing called "Decoration English", which they put basically everywhere. Abroad in Japan has many fantastic videos on that, with hilarious examples of some of their domestic products English names.
    And also that "revolution" word - I think (just a wild guess) Japanese often use "revolution" themes in their media (songs, animes, etc.) because their "real" society is very conservative and reluctant for change (despite their country looking very "modern"), and anime tries to escape from that a little bit.

    I remember once wanting to record the film "Bad Boys" when I was 10. Mainly because I was interested in what an 18 rated film would be like. So I did the exact same trick! Except I was like "hey mum can I record the Simpsons?" they were on channel 4 at 6 but I just pretended they ran over for a double bill and then I could start the VCR recording on long play at 6:30 just before bedtime and boom! I had a (very low res and jittery) copy of bad boys (with all the ads). I can vividly remember the disappointment watching it back when I realised "18 Rated" just meant they were effin' and jeffin' every other word. It was a huge let down so I never did it again!

    Now, I'm somewhat of an apologist for the series, I like it, even though I'm also of the mind that it isn't particularly good. There's some redeeming qualities, but especially over the last couple years, kinda just feels like it lost its focus/impetus, and the production values aren't strong enough to carry it on their own. The one thing I do stan about RWBY is that a lot of the music actually is pretty strong, but that's the only hill I'm willing to die on.

      you probably mean why they use 3d models instead of the 2d animation performed by most japanese anime studio?
      It comes down to a very simple practical issue: once you have the models in a 3d modelling program, creating the animation like that is much faster than drawing every frame separately like the more standard approach. That said, especially during fight scenes, this style comes across much more, for me at least.

      RWBY was created using Poser largely by one guy back in 2013. It was groundbreaking for the anime industry and showed you could create a really good show without a gargantuan budget. So many other shows have copied this style since, and that's all because RWBY was the trailblazer.
      After volume 3, RWBY's creator died and it's legacy was left to the rest of the team at Rooster Teeth. They switched software and the writing wasn't as good and people consider this the point where the show went downhill.

    • @LewysC
      @LewysC 3 роки тому +1

      @IHasNoLife Productions I'm not denying that the show has seen a hefty decline in the quality of its writing and the uniqueness of its style ever since Monty left. I think it could be a lot better as well.
      As for what I said about it being a trailblazer, those other examples you gave were created and funded by big studios with teams of professionals behind them. The first RWBY trailers were literally created by Monty on his own and Volume 1 had an incredibly miniscule budget in comparison to your other examples and a much smaller team of creators who were not professionals whatsoever. Despite all this though, they still made a really good show and proved no matter who you are, anyone can animate. When RWBY first came out I distinctly remember there being that conversation around it even though I didn't even watch it at the time.
      Either way, I've seen hundreds of videos about why RWBY can, and needs, to improve right now and I have no interest in watching another one. I'm just here defending the soundtrack because I think it's pehenomenal. RWBY's soundtrack is better than the show itself, that's how good it is.

    I feel like a lot of us modern anime watchers forget just how utterly brutal and graphic the medium largely was around the 80's. Most of this was predicated by stuff like Fist of the North Star, of course, but also infamously Devilman, and other works by Go Nagai such as Violence Jack. A lot of that has been buried in the annals of history and people nowadays, who are so used to the highly refined and often cutesy aesthetic, don't really realize that in the 80's, hyper violent OVAs and movies were a dime a dozen. I find it a very interesting part of anime's history, even if I'm not terribly interested in watching any of it.
