Has anyone watched/heard of this new show by Rooster Teeth? It's only animated/made by a few guys and it's pretty impressive for what it is.
There's only two episodes out right now and the second one is kind of bland, but they come out every Thursday. Cheers! :)

I have seen it. It's very good for a company like Roosterteeth. A company known for machinima, not full ledged animation.
I don't expect it to be perfect, honestly. I just think the idea and that they are attempting this is pretty amazing. I respect them for that too.
I don't expect them to perfect this, as they are doing something completely new to them, but it is pretty f***ing amazing so far! I am not a big anime person, but this is one of the few that I plan on watching!
The third episode came out! :) What did you guys think of it? I'm glad they're getting deep into characters first.
I love it, but am so pissed its only 6 minutes. I understand youtub's short attention span, but 6 minutes is way too short. I want at least 20. Other than that, its great. I love the blonde's gunfists
pretty damn amazing, if only there wasn't an add every 30 seconds
Well, character designs and models are really good, animation is sloppy, voice acting is just bad and special effects... well.. lol.
It's not bad but as it is now it's kinda pointless.
Not sure I like the flash animation with cell shaders. Guess I'm a sucker for original painted cells before all this "mix cell shaded with CGI animation" nonsense. Either be full on CGI like Advent children or stick to painted 2D animation in my honest opinion. The 3d with cell shaded textures look like garbage to me.
I think it would be longer if they had more people working on the design of it, but they are limited on animators. That and I think they would run out of material fast if they were 20 min. It is the same for RvB. It is a highly rated show, with many fans, but they don't have as big of cast as many animation companies, and they don't have an extreme amount of material. If the episodes of RvB were that long, it wouldn't have lasted 10+years. Now that is not saying that I don't want to see them longer, but currently I think they are limited on what they can do.
It isn't pointless. They're having fun making it, while being very understaffed for this major project. For what their resources are, this is pretty fucking sweet.
