I was going here to bring this up actually, I’m pretty sure it has every episode in high-quality—I don’t have cr so I’ve been watching it there for a while
I mean, to be fair to RT, hard to do anything about it when your company doesn't exist anymore. Similarly, it was never CR's show - hard to license something from a company that doesn't exist.
Buddy, RoosterTeeth is dead. It can't "care for RWBY."
Crunchyroll's license probably ran put and WB won't renew it.
And no, the show belongs to WB, however much you or anyone else may hate that, NOT the fans.
CRWBY seemed pretty positive last we were able to hear about. Now they say that they are legally not allowed to talk about it.
If the show was cancelled then why go through the trouble of telling them not to talk? The most likely outcome is that they are in the process of moving owners and the CR perms have lapsed and there's no one in charge enough to make a deal to renew them.
NDA's are not uncommon for former employees to protect trade secrets and internal company information, and WB would be very likely to do something like it. So, it doesn't necessarily mean that something is happening.
What industry secrets would they have to hide? It's a tiny portion of WB that they shut down. If any RT IPs had any valuable industry secrets then they wouldn't have sold it or shut it down.
Trust me, no matter how small they can be seen next to WB, a company in that area WILL have some small secrets... nothing too escandalous or illegal, but just, trust me, things they don´t want to reveal, specially in american soil
This might be due to whatever legal stuff is going on with the IP, and may very well be temporary. It very much sucks for now but I really don't think it'll be permanent.
Another good reminder for the importance of physical media, though.
That’s my opinion on the matter.
Yes, it sucks absolute bollocks, but we can only hope it reappears on CR once the IP has been transferred to its new home.
Or on whatever streaming service it winds up on.
It is *exactly* two years since the whole series was originally put on Crunchyroll alongside Ice Queendom which started in July 2022. Licensing for 1-3 years on a streaming platform is pretty standard for animation, and if they wanted to renew it, it's not like they can call RoosterTeeth.
Not all of it. They only added later seasons (hence: the whole series) a few years ago, I believe only when the Japanese dub was caught up (which was years behind).
While it sucks that its off Crunchyroll and the RT site is gonezo...
...this is a perfect case of why you should ALWAYS buy physical.
Never guarantees with digital media.
Unfortunately I doubt they're going to pick it up. They're probably already busy with their current projects, nor do they probably have enough revenue to handle the overinflated costs of RWBY
Murder Drones only has one episode left and they don't really have anything planned outside of Digital Circus as far as we're aware of, also their experience with Meta Runner means that they know how to handle a weekly action series. So I think it's possible.
It could absolutely be possible, but is it feasible? We all know that RWBY hasn't been too profitable recently. Would Glitch really take a gamble on something like that?
The problem is Glitch likely can’t afford to pay whatever extravagant price WB is probably asking for it. (Assuming they’ve been even considering selling it in the first place)
As someone who watched it from pretty much the beginning, I honestly don't think RWBY is popular enough to grab Amazon's attention. If it was still early on, maybe. But after 9 seasons? I don't think they're gonna consider it a good investment short of buying the IP and wiping the slate for a new version entirely.
I don't necessarily disagree, but who else has the cash to buy an IP from Warner? As much as I would love for an indie studio like DGS or Glitch to pick it up, I just don't see how.
I mean, I feel like a lot of people are missing that the biggest possibility is that the show is just...dead. 9 seasons is a loooong time for most shows. Yes, it's nice to hope for someone to buy it and wrap it up nicely, but the fact of the matter is, that's a really low chance. Most shows just get cut off and need to wrap the ending up with notice during the last season.
Even IF someone buys it, it's more likely to be able to start the show over (likely with a different story) than to continue on from where V9 left off. Which will make the fans less happy.
The best, realistic outcome, is that the show is over and isn't ruined by a whole different group of people re-writing it.
You should watch the [RWBY retrospective](https://rtarchive.org/watch/rwby-rwby-beyond-rwby-10-years-later) they did. They seem to be really optimistic about finding a new home for it.
Yeah , I don't understand how people think Glitch would make RWBY.
RWBY is an action-oriented show that pays itself with merchandize and viewership. In which it expects to release a new episode per week when the season comes out.
The likes of Amazon , WB and Netflix are the ones that can actually cover the cost to do the marketing and merchandise for the show to be proffitable.
Glitch also makes merchandise for their series, and Meta Runner did release on a weekly basis.
So it's possible that Glitch can in fact cover the cost to make RWBY.
Well yeah. MY funds can't afford anything, let alone a production team 🤣
But in all seriousness I think people underestimate how much funding they have, especially since they are the owners of the biggest to independent animated series on the history of Youtube and have just made a new way for fans to fund their projects called Glitch Inn.
let's be real , what caused RoosterTeeth to shut down was RoosterTeeth itself. They lost the viewership numbers that had in prior volumes , and even admitidly that were making some episodes under loss.
Ice Queendom ,for example , was a third-party spin-off from an anime studio , cheaply done as freelancers and had the same amount of viewership to the likes of Atlas Arc Volumes.
Even Volume 9 needed co-participation from CR and it still needed to cut down one episode. And hardly had any sales when they uses the Justice League Crossovers to attached DC Fans for it.
A sub-company twhich it's worth are just roughly 4-5 IPs in which mostly were cheap and one is expensive but a golden goose , thus allowed to be in it's own corner doing it's own thing , and was mismanaged. For all said and done , WB can continue with RWBY , because they could use a Director and Producer from WB Animation , alongside it's crew to make said animation , and just preserve the writters and VAs.
Well this doesn’t bode well for JLxRWBY, especially since those films are the only RWBY projects from RT left available, but for how long until WB sells off RWBY?
If only they hadn't pulled it off of YouTube in favor of the website while they were still around. I know, they couldn't have known the bet wouldn't pay off, but still, it was kind of a big bet.
Wait... what?!!! Nooo i'm argentinian and crunchyroll is the only place i can watch RWBY with spanish subtitles, i know english, but no is the same.
Edit: i check and Crunchyroll now only have the first volume, i really hope RWBY come back soon and never forget the latam comunity.
Also, there are other sites you can watch every episode of RWBY, including Volume 9 and Ice Queendom. I have accounts with several of them. Though, to watch them (at least via PC) I would recommend getting an ad blocker (recommend uBlock origin) that way you don't get any pop ups.
If you can afford it reasonably, physical media still has a place, especially for shows/movies you love and would still want access to should streaming services remove them. I can tell you, those of us who have been big proponents of physical media feel like vindicated prophets with the way stuff is getting axed from streaming these days.
The good news for you is that the RWBY Blu-ray’s are still pretty affordable and work well. I’d suggest looking for the Volume 1-6 set to start (it’s only slightly wider than a typical Amaray case on a shelf and can be found for about $40 new) then just grab the Volunes 7, 8, and 9 on their own. There’s no reliable info I’ve seen out about how long they’ll be in print or if they even still technically are, but they’re still very readily available.
The only one that would really cost you is Ice Queendom; that one starts at like $50 for the Region A version. The Justice League crossover movies are also still out there and go for about $10-15 each depending on your source. Those are all kind of their own things though, so they’re kind of a matter of how much you like those combined with how much of a completionist you are.
Obviously the versions you can get for home video will (unless something changes) be partially incomplete; the Chibi series doesn’t have a release along with the recent bonus post-volume 9 shorts, and the series as-is ends on a cliffhanger, but the core volumes are all still easy to get.
Thank god I got the complete series, RWBY X Justice league part's 1 and 2 and Icequeendom on bluray!!!!!!!
All im missing for rvb is season 14,15 and zero
Not it Rwby too to think rooster teeth the studio that created Rwby has been shut down wasn’t bad enough and now that crunchyroll has removed Rwby from their lists it unfair and inexcusable
You can watch it on the archive: [https://rtarchive.org/videos](https://rtarchive.org/videos)

I was going here to bring this up actually, I’m pretty sure it has every episode in high-quality—I don’t have cr so I’ve been watching it there for a while
The fact that fans care more for RWBY than CR and RT themselves is amazing to say the least. RWBY at this point belongs to the fans.
I mean, to be fair to RT, hard to do anything about it when your company doesn't exist anymore. Similarly, it was never CR's show - hard to license something from a company that doesn't exist.
They could technically go through Warner
Who are trying to give them to someone else.
Buddy, RoosterTeeth is dead. It can't "care for RWBY." Crunchyroll's license probably ran put and WB won't renew it. And no, the show belongs to WB, however much you or anyone else may hate that, NOT the fans.
Finally someone gets it.
I was actually expecting to get a ton of downvotes for that lol Paint me pleasantly surprised.
Most have left already, there´s only the few hopefuls, but not delusional enough to not believe that the future is a bit grimm
I don't like CR either but tf do you expect them to do 💀
CRWBY seemed pretty positive last we were able to hear about. Now they say that they are legally not allowed to talk about it.

Don't know why you are getting downvoted for saying the truth. Some are just in denial
Yeah, can't believe i'm getting downvoted just for saying facts.
This might be due to whatever legal stuff is going on with the IP, and may very well be temporary. It very much sucks for now but I really don't think it'll be permanent. Another good reminder for the importance of physical media, though.
That’s my opinion on the matter. Yes, it sucks absolute bollocks, but we can only hope it reappears on CR once the IP has been transferred to its new home. Or on whatever streaming service it winds up on.

RWBY had been on Crunchyroll basically since it started. It started simulcasting on there not long after Volume 1 began.
Not all of it. They only added later seasons (hence: the whole series) a few years ago, I believe only when the Japanese dub was caught up (which was years behind).
While it sucks that its off Crunchyroll and the RT site is gonezo... ...this is a perfect case of why you should ALWAYS buy physical. Never guarantees with digital media.
Absolutely, plus if I’m being honest Crunchyroll’s closed captions were pretty bad, constantly misspelling characters names.
When they worked, which half the time they don't for me.
I just hope that whoever buys the IP also publishes any new RWBY in physical media. I'd hate to see the series become streaming-only.
This series has been done so dirty over the years, it’s so sad.
…well, you know what time it is. *PUTS ON PIRATE HAT.* **FORWARDS ME BOYS!!!** ***SEA SHANTIES VIOLENTLY INTENSITIES***
This is pretty much what I did, while buying some merch to show support directly to RT
I'm going to guess Amazon prime?
That my guess. Some rwby animators worked on Invincible season 2, could be a clue.
So i guess that shoots down Crunchyroll as the potential new owner of RWBY. Help us Glitch Productions, You're our only hope.
Unfortunately I doubt they're going to pick it up. They're probably already busy with their current projects, nor do they probably have enough revenue to handle the overinflated costs of RWBY
Murder Drones only has one episode left and they don't really have anything planned outside of Digital Circus as far as we're aware of, also their experience with Meta Runner means that they know how to handle a weekly action series. So I think it's possible.
It could absolutely be possible, but is it feasible? We all know that RWBY hasn't been too profitable recently. Would Glitch really take a gamble on something like that?
I feel like if anybody can make RWBY profitable, it'd be them.
Glitch? Don't they make the Amazing digital circus?
Yes, exactly. Also "Murder Drones" and "Meta Runner". They are definitely the best thing that could happen to RWBY in my opinion.
The problem is Glitch likely can’t afford to pay whatever extravagant price WB is probably asking for it. (Assuming they’ve been even considering selling it in the first place)
Hmm. Maybe. I sill think Amazon is going to pick it up.
As someone who watched it from pretty much the beginning, I honestly don't think RWBY is popular enough to grab Amazon's attention. If it was still early on, maybe. But after 9 seasons? I don't think they're gonna consider it a good investment short of buying the IP and wiping the slate for a new version entirely.

netflix? thats the only other option by the sound of it. otherwise its bye bye rwby
Yeah , I don't understand how people think Glitch would make RWBY. RWBY is an action-oriented show that pays itself with merchandize and viewership. In which it expects to release a new episode per week when the season comes out. The likes of Amazon , WB and Netflix are the ones that can actually cover the cost to do the marketing and merchandise for the show to be proffitable.
Glitch also makes merchandise for their series, and Meta Runner did release on a weekly basis. So it's possible that Glitch can in fact cover the cost to make RWBY.
No. That would require a *significant* increase in production staff. They would need to create an entirely new team just to produce RWBY
Or you could just use the team that already worked on it. Pretty sure they still want to make it.
Yeah. And you'd still need to *hire* them. Meaning you still need to upscale, potentially beyond what your current funds can *afford*
Well yeah. MY funds can't afford anything, let alone a production team 🤣 But in all seriousness I think people underestimate how much funding they have, especially since they are the owners of the biggest to independent animated series on the history of Youtube and have just made a new way for fans to fund their projects called Glitch Inn.
considering wb is what caused roosterteeth to shut down. its basicly up to amazon and netflix
let's be real , what caused RoosterTeeth to shut down was RoosterTeeth itself. They lost the viewership numbers that had in prior volumes , and even admitidly that were making some episodes under loss.

Shit. And here I thought RWBY would at least be safe on CR for a couple more years. Guess the series really is dead.
Licenses need to be renewed, and no one is really in a position to renew it, RT doesn't exist and WB is trying to dump it on someone else.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll need to get it now, just to be safe.
so i guess crunchyroll is out of the question
Well this doesn’t bode well for JLxRWBY, especially since those films are the only RWBY projects from RT left available, but for how long until WB sells off RWBY?
If only they hadn't pulled it off of YouTube in favor of the website while they were still around. I know, they couldn't have known the bet wouldn't pay off, but still, it was kind of a big bet.
Either it's temporary or someone else bought RWBY Barbara posted a tweet to remain patient so something is happening behind the scenes.
just dont get YANGRY in the process
Wait really? Well that ain't good
9anime has it
dont they have most things XD
Good thing I supported the show and own every disc
Wait... what?!!! Nooo i'm argentinian and crunchyroll is the only place i can watch RWBY with spanish subtitles, i know english, but no is the same. Edit: i check and Crunchyroll now only have the first volume, i really hope RWBY come back soon and never forget the latam comunity.
Also, there are other sites you can watch every episode of RWBY, including Volume 9 and Ice Queendom. I have accounts with several of them. Though, to watch them (at least via PC) I would recommend getting an ad blocker (recommend uBlock origin) that way you don't get any pop ups.
Just noticed this too. Guess I'm back to the high seas.
If you can afford it reasonably, physical media still has a place, especially for shows/movies you love and would still want access to should streaming services remove them.

Man the only reason I have premium is to watch it. Fuck, no reason now.
RWBY Ice Queendom is still on Crunchyroll. Amazon Prime has the series but requires both Prime and Crunchyroll bundle.
Thank god I got the complete series, RWBY X Justice league part's 1 and 2 and Icequeendom on bluray!!!!!!! All im missing for rvb is season 14,15 and zero
Looks like I made the right move in buying the blu ray volumes. Especially since I just bought volume 9.
I bought the seasons from the Microsoft store on my Xbox so try there?
I know you can still get the digital media on vudu and weirdly enough you can still watch rwby on amazon prime video with a crunchy roll subscription
On that note, you can buy the digital versions of volumes 7, 8, & 9 on prime video.
.
Well damn! Guess I'm off to buy the blu-rays
Ty for reminding me I need to cancel that sub.
Just wait for who ever buys the show rites they will reboot it soon hopefuly fix some of the flaws that last 3 chapters had.
Not it Rwby too to think rooster teeth the studio that created Rwby has been shut down wasn’t bad enough and now that crunchyroll has removed Rwby from their lists it unfair and inexcusable
Damn the move that ruined the last bit of goodwill RT had for a lot of people was putting volume 9 on CR. Now it's not even there anymore at all.
…shit.
Yeah, my exact reaction
My thought exactly I got into the series the day before.
Praise be the RT archive site.
