RWBY Fan made Animation-Rwby:30 Days-Angel 

I miss THIS Weiss. Hell, I miss this level of quality of fight scenes. And by “THIS Weiss” I’m talking about her fighting style not her mental sanity.

Making Weiss dance to avoid the patterns on the floor was a really nice touch Edit; 2.8K likes? why thank you~

See this is how Weiss should have fought Vernal in V4

I love it, but am I the only one who's gonna mention how terrifying it is? It feels like Angel isn't even human, but more, a demon.

I believe that Angel's semblance would be named kaleidoscope, quite appropriately, and it allows her to create a kaleidoscopic cage that, only inside, when she begins to win a fight, and the opponent holds doubt inside their mind, the semblance begins to curse the person, trapping them inside their own mind, forcing them to become who they never wanted to be, but who they believe they must be to survive

When a fan made rwby animation gets more views than actual episodes!

For a moment I though it was a Weiss vs Weiss' Mom fight. Silly Me.

“Is a cage made to trap or to protect?”

Weiss can actually really do all this in the show (maybe except for the red knight ripping the glyphs apart) yet she lost to Vernal, a regular bandit who just happened to fight decently with two blades. She was dumbed down all so she would lose, be killed by Cinder and let Jaune unlock his semblance. She hasn't even used time dilation in this animation and she's already this OP

Although I am one person,but I have no time limit. It is different with RWBY V4 Team.If they have more time,they can do better.

I’m going to take a shot at angels backstory so bear with me I feel like her life was a lot like Weiss. Born into a rich family she was forced to sing at parties and such but when she wasn’t perfect angel was locked in her room. After disobeying multiple times she was locked in her room and forgotten (hence the forget me not at the beginning). She felt caged like a bird and started to lose her mind, soon she was taken out of her room to sing for a social event. But snapped and killed everyone and burning down her home but not before being blinded by someone trying to defend themselves. After this she was found by the red eyed person and together they founded her team.

I love how the creator holds true to Weiss' fighting style AND incorporates ballet into the fight, something I believe to be very possible. Also, I'm probably not as invested in my RWBY lore as everyone else but: who is the blind girl?

Love how Weiss knows Unlimited blade works

The battle of the swans. We have the White Swan(Weiss) and the Black Swan(Angel). In all seriousness tho,this is amazing!

4:01 Weiss's expression was terrifying as heck.

The ballet dancing is really nice because that is something that Monty Oum would have incorporated at sooner or later if he would be alive. Monty was also known to be a good dancer and it shows in his fights because they have a rhythm bringing a certain order in otherwise chaotic fights making them much more enjoyable.

If Monty Oum the creator of "RWBY" was alive, he would be impress with your animation, and probably ask you to join Rooster Teeth Company.

This should be recognized by the Rwby team

I miss this style of action, RWBY honestly hasn't been the same since Monty Oum's passing.

ok at the end, i thought weiss smiling was like "im so happy to see you" then i got the shock of me life when she started choking ruby ':)

This made my day, I hope that one day rooster teeth can let all fans share a fan fiction, bc I know that u deserve it

Gosh damn am I the only one who loves this animation but doesn't pile hate on volumes 4 and 5?

People are saying you should work for RWBY. People are saying you shouldn't. I say you should apply for a position with them. Your choreography is great & I loved your artistic ability with the patterns. If you do work with them think of it as a learning experience. You showed off more than a good fight. I saw a possible plot. You could be the next Monty creating something new.

Honestly I would make this woman the girl in the tower instead of Salem. She seems to be far more interesting a character

*YO ROOSTERTEETH* Why haven't you hired this guy with this....this *MASTERPIECE* ?!

Theory Time: So, I think given all the context clues this is supposed to be, or to symbolize, Weiss's mother, or possibly a close relative. Primarily, the main giveaway is the color scheme of her in the past along with the stylistic choice of her abilities, giving it a similar, but not identical, appearance to the Glyphs Weiss uses. More clues come from the scene when Weiss is dancing, the patterns on the floors are near identical, perhaps the woman here (who I dub as Angel) trained Weiss in ballet, or similar dance numbers, as Weiss seems to be able to remember the way the patterns move with her eyes closed, and the memory seems to bring her enough peace to summon a large amount of Glyphs which summon a replication of the Knight's sword. As to what happened in the past? Well Angel's powers seems to stem from the black Glyphs she produces, perhaps a corruption of the purified form? We can't really tell for certain, but we do know it's more personally powered than Weiss's glyphs, which just spawn in the air. Angel's, instead, appear to focus on more physical things, such as creating structures or empowering the user. The black glyphs (I'll call them Ink for simplicity) seem to follow the style of calligraphic writing, like with a fountain pen. Odds are it's Angels semblance. It grants the user a great deal of power, allowing Weiss, someone with no experience in it, to summon an absurd amount of projectiles apparently without much concentration involved. However, the user doesn't seem to have complete control of the Ink, and it seemingly "Corrupts" whatever it is inscribed in. Angel, apparently in the past, was corrupted by her own glyphs, murdering a great deal of people and losing a large part of her sanity and control of herself. Weiss, in the present, seems to undergo a similar process, the Ink is inscribed upon her right side, and gives her a huge power boost, at the cost of control over herself. Her knight, normally a shining figure of protection, is instead changed into something with a similar style to a Grimm, and becomes a weapon of mass destruction. The Ink seems to control through one of the most important pieces in RWBY lore; someones eyes. Eyes are important. Ruby has silver eyes, meaning she's supposed to become a super strong huntress. Qrow and Raven symbolize the Ravens of Odin, Huginn and Muninn, and are represented by a complementary pair of eyes for their emblems. Yangs eyes (and presumably Tai-Yangs) turn red when angered or badly hurt. There's even a phrase, "the Eyes are the windows to the soul". Evidently, the Ink uses this 'window' to control someone, as evidenced by Weiss and Angel's eyes becoming "Inked" when under it's influence. This explains why Angel is blind, she feared the Ink had too much power, and thus removed it's access to her, her eyes. She fights blind in order to prevent it from controlling her, and is in turn able to harness it for herself. Weiss still has her eyes, or isn't blinded at the very least, and thus is able to be influenced by the Ink (which causes her to attempt to strangle Ruby). The power the Ink grants is so much, when Weiss's knight charged it's attacks, Angel had to call upon it in order to defeat Weiss and her knight. As for the bird part? It's a reference to around 18th century London. They would take singing birds, and blind them during the morning. This would mean they would just keep singing, over and over, until they died. Angel is apparently supposed to have this as her motif, being blind and having wings, along with the images of the dead Caged Bird.

I have emotional attachments to most characters in RWBY so seeing Weiss choking Ruby is nightmare fuel.

In an alternative universe, this is canon.

You captured Weiss's fighting style better than Roosterteeth did after Monty passed QQ

You deserve way more attention my boi, hope you will grow up fast on youtube :) 👏👏👏👌

Angel's fighting style is so AWESOME and she defects all of Weiss's attacks like it was nothing

Also, this gal needs to duke it out with Adam Taurus. Imagine, Angel vs. Devil: it’s a perfect match.

The amount of work put into this video is crazy!! *IF WE COULD GET THIS TO TRENDING HE WOULD WORK 10x Harder!!*

Did anyone else think of Gilgamesh from fate when Weiss summoned swords

Birdbox 2.0 (Also I know this comment is late but this animation is so friggin well done)

I think this person should have been implemented into the full show, I think it’s a great backstory. This video in it if itself gives up the entire story pretty much. And I think the semblance was amazing

This animation is amazing

i was thinking wow RWBY really step up their animation. Then i realized this is fanmade. Jesus what do we have to do to get you on RWBY team?

Im guessing the fact she used her glyphs as location or a motion detector is amazing pls keep up the good work and bring out your creativity

2:50 when you cast unlimited blade works just by dancing 3:48 I mean, that even looks like the reality marble

I wish people stopped comparing this animator to Monty, 1 because monty can never be replaced, and 2 because thats kind of an insult considering a lot of people hate being in the shadow of others and being unable to leave said shadow

I like how this is way better than any fight in RWBY vol. 4. Like on a different level. It's almost like having Monty Oum back. Well done!

I miss when all the characters had a very specific fighting style that was tailored to them and it was most prominent with Weiss, Pyrrha, and Ruby

It's just that, after Monty died I believe that animation was set back-- he had so much he wanted to do still and would have taught so many more people his techniques, it genuinely breaks my heart. Seeing this, it makes me happy to see that his unique style hasn't completely died with him.

That blind lady's Semblance is overpowered!

Hello rooster teeth obviously u have seen this why haven’t u hired this person or made this on the real show I’m waiting

I don't want to hear anyone praising Rooster Teeths volume 4+ choreography after witnessing this. Imagine facial expressions, hair moving, dancing...actually using the various abilities you have. This was fantastic...

That was one trippy fight. Who is Angel supposed to be anyway, Weiss' mother?........... OOOOOOOOOOOH I get it now! Angel Schnee, snow angel, I can't believe it took me this long to realize.

Definitely the best I've seen since Marks works.

It seems Angel's semblance revolves around the concept of revenge. We catch glimpses of her childhood that appears traumatic. Furthermore, Weiss and ruby did not always get along, so when she was infected by Angels' darkness/semblance, she grew hostile to Ruby. Thoughts??

Ooooooo.. I love Angel’s semblance. It’s looks so mesmerizing. And ending is awesomely terrifying.

Yes. I think that Monty himself would be proud.

this shit here youtube THIS IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE IN MY RECOMMENDED

Weiss in orochimaru's curse?

She would make an amazing antagonist in the actual series I love how creative the fans are

Stuff like this really makes me wish the show had this level of strategy and tactical thinking among combatants in its fights.

Man these guys are like the anti-RWBY team.

Dear reader, may I kindly ask you to thumb this comment up so that tommylau74 reads it? Thank you very much! Your support is much appreciated! Dear Tommy, thank you for this amazing work of animation and tense storytelling! Just like the trailers directed by Monty, your work becomes more and more beautiful each time I watch it. Your choreography is perfectly logical, and your shots are so beautifully composed! Angle´s wings took my breath away! The reflection of Weiss on her own sword as she understands what a powerful enemy she is battling is one of the best transitions I have ever seen! I think you are incredibly talented! Even the sound design is so on point! The details in your animation are mind blowing! I think you must have been putting an incredible effort into making this! I drew a storyboard and wrote an alternative screenplay for Ruby and Weiss for the RWBY season finale of volume 3 chapter 12. I worked very hard on it for more than two months, and it made me understand what an incredibly huge amount of work you must have been putting into this KCAL trailer for Angle! I I have very high respect for your dedication to your vision! I wrote The RWBY screenplay last year, but now I finally found the courage to upload it. Your work motivated me to get a video on RU-vid. It would make me very happy if you check it out and tell me your option about it! 'RWBY Ruby + Weiss Volume 3 Chapter 12 fight fan animation ' Please Keep up your great work. I hope you will have a bright future as director and animator! Warmly Kay

Wow. This animation got me waiting for more. Amazing. Although I seriously thought Weiss was fighting with her future self. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY! WHO WAS THAT GUY AT THE END!?

The person Weiss is fighting reminds me of 2B

I'm getting Nier Automata vibes here...

This deserves more views. I REPEAT. THIS. DESERVES. MORE. VIEWS.

Please make those two other characters lore, please. I'm interested. I want to see more.

There is enough lore to disprove this, but it feels like Angel is a Schnee, possibly even being a future version of Weiss that was corrupted in some way

missing monty's non stop style again

That fight choreography tho! Way better than what the rwby team has done since Monty. Great job!

0:59 YoRHa? Type? Aah what ever. Glory to mankind!!!

I have never seen a more graceful fight in all my life

I bet Monty would love this.

Rooster teeth needs to higher you for at least their fight scenes. I mean standing ovation.

One year later, and this still makes my day everytime I watch it. I don't think I'm waiting more for a sequel than with this KCAL team and Mark Zhang's SLVR team. I mean, I liked RWBY Vol.6 (even tho Vol.4 and 5 almost made me drop the show, because... shit tons of reasons), but I'm more hyped for these two "amateurs" team Trailers than for the official show, even when knowing we may very well NEVER have any new video for them. I can just hope.

I’m in love with these fight scenes! You brought back what Rooster Teeth is now missing! Thank you, your work is appreciated!

I love how there's effort put in to this as you can see! AND I LOVE ANGELS WINGS!! Some past stuff happens and stuff that I rlly don't know about angel but she's strong! And I kinda hated the fact that she kinda made Weiss into a psychopath,I won't mind it and u totally improved ur animation skills :O

Been waiting for this for ages :) Your a miracle worker mate. More interested in this character than WATTS...Keep up the good work.

God I love this animation, I always come back to it, everything from the music to the animation to the character design to the choreography, it’s all so good!

That is absolutely incredible work!!! It literally looks just like volume 1 and the fight choreography and the slow motion bits are fantastic!! You should be really proud of that

But the ending is so fricken creepy!

I had a Kingdom Hearts feel to it. _I'm hoping I'm not the only one who got that feel._

I like the different take and au put in. My favorite is the cutscenes you used at points, thank you for pointing out how important angles are! Lots of RU-vid animators forget how much emphasis they give. 👌

Incredible vid!! I loved the complexity of the story going on, the fight choreograpy was awesome, weiss doing ballet to avoid the glyphs, the animation!!! I loved everything about u did an amazing job :)

You took a bit of inspiration from Nier Automata when it came to her design, right?

Dunno how Rooster Teeth haven't hired this person yet.. He's doing a better job at this than the actual team.. I'm guessing that Angel has some sort of relation to Weiss? As the 'cage' that was shown in the video had the Schnee emblem. I'd love to guess that she may possibly be an aunt or possible alternate reality self.. The theory of Angel being her mother is unlikely, as Weiss' mother was never said to have any condition, or any health related conditions like how Angel is wearing a blindfold. I'm just assuming Angel is blind but has heightened awareness, (Basically just a female Daredevil) Though it's also an amazing but crazy idea to think of Angel as maybe an evil clone of Weiss?

You did an amazing job animating this. Not a lot of people can animate like this and make something fanmade this good especially because Weiss is like perfect minus the missing scar on her left eye. I like how you put a pattern and changed the colour of her right eye. This is wonderfully done. Amazing job well done.

So many references to so many events from the trailers and the series. It's not just the animation... Some serious thinking went into this too. Thanks for the video 👍

So here is what I got from this This woman is Weiss's mother, When Weiss was little her father locked her mother in a room for probably a similar reason that he locked Weiss for, after being locked for too long she eventually had a breakdown as she felt like a bird in a cage and just like how we saw the schnee semblance can go out of control sometimes (like we saw with Weiss in volume 4) her semblance got corrupted and turned like that, so she went on a rampage and left the schnee family When Weiss fought her mother and came in direct contact with the corrupted schnee semblance, it corrupted hers as well and caused her to go through a similar rampage that her mother had, which is why the giant knight became beseker and she went psycho

I legit thought Weiss was fighting Nana Schnee

weiss’ facial expression was so terrifying and gave me chills. very well done

Damn, this animation gets better and better the more I watch it, because I keep noticing details I missed the other times. Awesome stuff!

So, I'm getting the feeling that this is more than just random fights and that there is a story going on here. And to be honest, your setting it up beautifully while also keeping us all in suspense. Your character are interesting and seem to be a true match to team RWBY in much a similar way as Tyrian. Except unlike Tyrian they're manageable enough to make a one on one fight interesting. Also, this 'Angel' seems to be a great foil to weiss on multiple levels. I must ask, will we see Yang and Blake have to contend with the other half of team KCAL(i remember that panel from the first video for 30 days)? I can not wait to see who they would have to stand against, and how it adds to this story. I love your work and your are creating a very nice story. I hope you not only continue this project but also turn it into a full fan series (if you have the time of course) as it would be very well received. This story already had me on the edge of my seat and i can't help but wonder who are the member of KCAL are(I personally LOVE mohammad sharif's theory on angel a few comments down). Well done good sir, please keep up the fantastic work.

Weiss forgot to say : GATE OF BABYLON !!

"Angel" battle stat: Attack power:8/10 Defense:9/10 Melee combat:8/10 Speed:8/10 Agility:6/10 Range:6/10 Aura:9/10 Semblance:10/10 Battle class: "Dark laido mystic"

That as in INCREDIBLY creative way to incorporate dance moves into the choreo!

I want Rwby volume 5 fights to look like this

This is an AMAZING video! The animation is so smooth, and it must have taken forever. Keep up the good work! 💖👏🏼

Angel feels a lot like a nier automata character to me and I like that, this is genuinely amazing

I don't care what rt has to say about it, this is officially cannon now

Roosterteeth should NOT hire this guy as many people are saying, cause they seem to squander any talent they have ever sinew Monty passed. No, you should go on to make far better works of your own, seriously, this work is akin to the stuff Monty himself did, your choreography is just spot on, I could definately see you doing just as well if not better. Good luck, I hope to see more in the future.

Subbed! You should honestly think about making your own series. I'm sure it would blow up in no time. Also your cartography is just Amazing! I have to admit I'm jealous of your talent

This is amazing!! I love the story line and all the effort your put into it!

Theory time: It took me a while, but I think I have an idea of the blind woman's semblance. The black patterns she casts on the ground can cause the opposer touching it to lose their sanity, or have their mind corrupted. As seen, Weiss and the Blind Woman both wear the same crazy expression: wild eyes and a smile that screams homocide. Notice that the black patterns took over only one side of Weiss, (which happened when she fell on the patterns, her right hand touching them, spreading it throughout her right side.) Therefore, she isn't completely insane. (Which is why she snapped out of it after almost choking Ruby to death) And Weiss avoids touching/ being touched by the black patterns any more by dancing around them when the Blind Woman begins to shift them around. And With every semblance there's a drawback, and this one is that the insanity also kinda works against the user. When the insanity took over, Weiss seemed to be less cautious, more reckless, seemed to move more... freely. ( They always say the the more psychotic the character the more powerful) I'm curious about the Blind Woman, like why is she blind? Maybe it had to do with the bleeding eyes? Or was that symbolic? How did she lose her sanity? Was it due to being locked up? Was she abused/tormented? Or maybe she was insane from the beginning which was the reason why she was locked up?
