Are Rooster Teeth the best production company for making animation or anything for that matter? Audiences are now at the end of RWBY volume three and it seems that Rooster Teeth really pour their hearts and souls into the work that they do.

The new Volume is darker with the plot but not in any way shape or form is this bad move, this is because volume Two only gave the fans a few bits and pieces of team RWBY’s background as well as other characters in the series and audiences are now finally shown what the White Fang have been planning for a long time. Rooster Teeth are using volume Three to dip into the gooey and heart pounding background of each character. In this volume the viewers are introduced to more characters such as Weiss’s older more “ice queen” sister Winter Schnee, as well as Ruby and Yang’s drunk uncle Qrow and father Taiyang. This gives the viewers a better understanding of the Xiao Long Rose and the Schnee families, the viewers are also given more depth on how Emerald and Mercury came into service a long side Cinder Fall.

Each voice actor/actress still give their all into the characters they portray, they give the characters the love and care like they were themselves in real life. Each of them have a challenge of their own to complete when they are voicing the animation’s individuality, Ms. Jones had to mix childish behaviour with the seriousness of growing up and being a leader of a team, Ms. Eberle had to show the side of a rich snobby heiress with a girl that struggled in childhood, Ms. Zech had to show the side of a girl that wants to protect her people with the struggles of her past and Ms. Dunkelman has to show the party hard, hot head girl with the side of a loving sister and friend searching for her mother.

It does not matter that RWBY may not look professional, when compared to other animation that are made by Rooster Teeth such as X-Ray and Vav or animes such as Attack on Titan, but the team and many others know that as long as the story is pure and the series is cared for like a new born baby and that love, heart and soul go into it, the graphics don’t matter. Rooster Teeth really show other production companies that love is more powerful than money. RWBY puts other animations to shame.
