The very popular online animated series RWBY, which has accumulated more than 100 million views worldwide, held a panel at Anime Expo in Los Angeles with Barbara Dunkelman, Gray Haddock, Kerry Shawcross, and Miles Luna from the production company, Rooster Teeth. RWBY already aired four seasons with the original English dub, but after the 3rd season in 2016, it was announced there would also be a Japanese dub.
On 7 July 2017, Seasons 1-3 will be aired in Japan in a re-edited version for Japanese television and with the Japanese dub. Season 4 with Japanese dub will be shown on 7-20 October 2017 in Shinjuku’s Piccadilly and other Japanese cinemas. Many fans expressed their wish to also see the full series with Japanese dub in cinemas overseas.
Other announcements included the release of figures of Ruby, Weiss, and other popular characters of the series and a manga adaptation. At the end, fans could ask the production stuff a few questions. About 50 fans asked questions about all kinds of things, ‘When will you decide if you’ll make Season 5?’ and ‘Tell us what was challenging during the production.’ Some also asked for more screen time and information on their favorite characters.

The first season of the new year is just one month away from its finale. It was a great start with many amazing titles that made these past months worth the extra hours we put in front of our sets. Now, it is time for the cold wind to give way to the pink hues of the sakura tree and for the Winter 2018 season to give the anime baton to Spring 2018.
