Since I know there's a bit of a RWBY fandom around here, I thought I'd see if there's any adjacent interest.
For those not in the know, Gen:Lock is a Rooster Teeth original animated mecha show that premiered in late January. The first season is planned to have eight episodes, released weekly. Unfortunately, only the first episode will be available for non-First members, but the reaction community can still react to it a week after release, so there will be a way to watch it for free. Just not, y'know, in an optimal shape.
I think it's relevant to Exalted as inspirational material, since the Gen:Lock process have heavy similarities to drawing a Second Breath. Alternatively, they could be seen as Warstrider inspiration. But really, whatever criticism can be levied at Rooster Teeth original animations, they've always been very Exalted-friendly, and this show doesn't change that.
Right now, the fourth episode is out, marking the halfway point, and I must say... I think this is much better than RWBY. Like, head and shoulders above. I'm not even that into mecha, but this really does it for me. Anyone else watching this show? Anyone getting any Exalted vibes?
