Fall 2017 Anime: Official Twitter Hashtags & Pages
The MANGA.TOKYO staff had its share of summer. Now, all we wish is for the hot and humid weather to go away and give its place to the red and cool autumn.
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.
