The studio behind Puella Magi Madoka Magica is developing an anime adaptation of Rooster Teeth’s animated web series RWBY. Rooster Teeth and Japan’s Shaft animation studio will collaborate on the project, which will be titled RWBY Ice Queendom.
RWBY is a popular American computer-animated series for Rooster Teeth, created by Monty Oum. Remnant is a fictitious world tormented by monstrous creatures known as Grimm in the series. A gang of warriors known as Hunters or Huntresses, on the other hand, stands up to these beasts in order to rescue their world. Weiss Schnee, Ruby Rose, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long are the primary characters in the plot, and they must overcome all obstacles to protect Remnant from this threat.
The science fiction series is noted for its colorful characters and fast-paced plot. RWBY also spawned a video game adaptation and a spin-off, RWBY Chibi, in addition to the original anime. And now it’s official: RWBY will be adapted into an anime series by a Japanese animation studio.
Rwby Ice Queendom Release date
The science fiction series is noted for its action-packed storyline and memorable characters. Aside from the original series, RWBY has a video game adaptation as well as a spin-off called RWBY Chibi. And now it’s official: RWBY will be adapted into an anime by a Japanese animation studio.
So far, the introduction of this new series has been a bit muddled. On Thursday, Crunchyroll issued a statement, which was later removed. However, the project appears to have English and Japanese Twitter accounts, as well as official posters and a Japanese website with news and information on the series.
Despite this, Rooster Teeth has yet to make an official statement. Crunchyroll also announced that the anime will be available to stream in both English and Japanese on the same day. The reason for the anime streamer’s initial piece being removed is still unknown.
While the article has since been removed, fans may expect the series to premiere on Crunchyroll in the Spring programming schedule, following their merger with Funimation. The fact that both the Japanese and English versions were released on the same day could explain why the information was suppressed.
