Season 4 was clearly meant to be a recovery season for the characters but I understand why that rubbed some people the wrong way after how season 3 ended.
On Penny
we still haven't seen her father and I honestly think we'll probably get a Penny 2.0.

All in for Twitch Chat reacting to the greatness of USA Yugi-Oh.

Original Yugioh most likely, it had that much episodes.

Dammit it couldnt start on the weekend?
A recovery mini-arc would have been fine (indeed welcome after that Vol 3 finale)... if the back half of the season has been the characters becoming proactive again. But Vol 4 ended just when that was about to happen.
Which is my biggest problem with RWBY. It's too damn short! Episodes are too short, seasons (or volumes I guess) are too short, the animation outside of their fights are too short and jerky. Nearly everything about the show could stand to be about 10% longer.
Re: Penny -
You're probably right, but I'm of two minds about that. Obvs I love the character and want her back. But at the same time, that would cheapen the narrative impact of her death. It would also ruin the whole point of the character- that she wasn't just a machine. She can generate an Aura - that implies she had a soul. The idea that they can just recall that soul rubs me the wrong way.
Maybe Penny's "dad" could repeat the process and make give a new creation a soul... but it wouldn't be Penny 2.0. More like Penny's younger sister.

Much like Dragon Ball Z Abridged it gets much better when he finds his groove.

YOU DON'T STAND A GHOST OF A CHANCE
There are some official format ruels and rules for tag team, as well as some sealed pack stufd, but nothing that would let you summon 3 blue eyes without a card effect.

I really wish this had GX too, but I guess Duelist Kingdom/Battle City will be fun to watch for some laughs.
There's three movies. The third is legitimately fantastic and one of my top anime movies of all time. That said it only just came out this year.
F**k. I'm down.
Too bad they won't show the two movies.

RWBY? Bleh
The site mentions "new episodes and encores" so I guess they're going to show a few episodes every day and repeat then for the rest of it. So hopefully you won't miss anything

Wouldn't they require you taking a shot every time anyone does anything during season 1?
You'd probably be dead before Exodia gets summoned

I could not be more in.
MY GRANDPAS DECK HAS NO PATHETIC CARDS KAIBA!
Nah, normal summons below level 5 are fair game.
You'd only need to take a shot every time someone:
-Normal Summons a level 5 or higher monster with no tributes
-Activates a spell during the opponent's turn
-Activates a trap before setting it face-down
-Ritual Summon without the Ritual Monster being on their hand
-Activates a Monster Effect as if it were a spell card (pendulums weren't a thing then)
-Activates a Spell Card that was shown in a previous episode as a Trap Card
-Summons a monster in the opponent's turn
-Combine Monsters with Spell Cards that are not Equip Spells
-Combine Monsters with other monsters that are not Union Monsters or have the effect to be treated as Equip Spells
-Fusion summons a non-Contact Fusion without polymerization
-Use the "effect" of a normal monster
My guess is you'd be dead halfway through Weevil's duel
For anyone that hasn't seen RWBY and enjoys trashy shows to some extent, I'd suggest tuning in. It's just hilariously bad in a number of ways. There's a complete lack of focus with a constantly growing cast of shallow characters, pointless scenes and plotlines that don't make any sense, weightless, awkwardly animated fights, and the world-building contradicts itself everywhere. Somehow by the fourth volume the protagonist hasn't developed in any meaningful way, and what little she has accomplished was really contrived. The only positive I could point out is that volume four is better-looking overall even if the directing is still a mess.
The Crunchyroll marathon had a couple godawful shows in it, so if you're in one more I'd say it's worth a watch.

"All 236 episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! will run for a little over two weeks straight. And before you ask, yes, its dubbed, so those memories of watching TV in junior high will come rushing back in no time."
Lets say a little over two weeks is an extra day. 15 days = 360 hours. I'm assuming each episode is only somewhere between 20-30 minutes long, so they have to be doing lots of reruns otherwise it would be over in under half the time.
As someone who likes RWBY a fair bit, I can say this rather scathing assessment is probably a bit OTT. That being said, it is a heavily flawed show, no denying that. I would always say that anyone who gives it a go should keep that in mind. Tropey as hell too.
I would also disagree with the notion that it's so bad it's good. If the characters and fights aren't grabbing you, it more than likely won't have the campy charm of Dub Yugioh to keep things fun - outside of a couple of scenes and maybe the music.
I'd never consider RWBY to be trash - particularly when it comes to anime - but I imagine it'd be aggressively mediocre if you're not buying into it. Completely inoffensive, mind.
So yeah, give it a watch. If by the end of Volume 3 it isn't doing anything for you, cut your losses. The time it takes to watch that far is only a couple of hours.
At the very least there's a bittersweet tale behind it all - a low budget passion project that has seen a fair bit of success. Just a shame that Monty isn't around to see it.

But will they show the arc with the Seal of Oricalchos?

So is someone going to make a topic for this or will we just continue to use this one?
I can go ahead and make one for RWBY.

Yes!!! Yugiboy...Kaibaboy...Bandit Keith....Johnny Steps. Might skip Capsule Monsters and some of the virtual world and the most of the Orichalcos. Maybe I'll give RWBY a shot.
RWBY Twitch Marathon OT is up.

Aw man I was really looking forwards to it, why's it delayed
No idea. Haven't seen any official reason yet. I only learned due to TFS mentioning the week delay, and it shows the delay on their Twitch Presents schedule now.
