RWBY: Ice Queendom, Shaft's reimagining of Rooster Teeth's hit web series, is now available on Crunchyroll with an English dub. The 12-episode series offers a fresh take on the world of Remnant, where Huntsmen and Huntresses train to battle monstrous Grimm.
Instead of a direct adaptation, Ice Queendom dives deeper into the established lore and characters, focusing on a more intimate, mystery-driven narrative. It explores the origins of key characters like Weiss Schnee and the inner workings of the Schnee Dust Company, blending Shaft's signature visual flair with the franchise's established action elements.
Fans of the original RWBY will find familiar characters and themes, but the series stands on its own with a more focused, atmospheric approach. The studio's distinct visual style, known from series like Monogatari and Madoka Magica, is on full display, offering a unique aesthetic that sets it apart from the original CGI series.
