RWBY Volume 9 is Coming to Crunchyroll Next Month
We finally have a release date for RWBY season nine! Rooster Teeth recently dropped a full trailer for the new season of the hit anime-inspired series RWBY and with it came a release date. Fans will be able to watch RWBY Volume 9 starting February 1 on Crunchyroll at 9:30 AM CT. The season will be exclusive to Crunchyroll for one year after which FIRST members will gain access, but with all the other great titles on the service, it’s a pretty solid deal. Can we move gen:LOCK over there too?
After the harrowing events of Volume 8, our heroines are thrust into an unknown world–the Ever After! However, once Team RWBY explores this strange and mysterious realm, they quickly discover it might not be quite as unknown as they first assumed. As they journey to find a way back home, they'll have to overcome some of their toughest challenges yet–the struggle of their own identities, and whether or not they're equipped to stop Salem.
Sharing the news, senior writer and supervising director for RWBY, Kerry Shawcross, said:
We are thrilled to finally bring RWBY Vol. 9 to our fans, and Crunchyroll is the best possible home for the new season. We’ve heightened production value with each season of RWBY, and Volume 9 is no different; this unique gem of a season is packed with new adventures and huge moments that fans won’t want to miss.
Matt Hullum, Co-Founder and CCO added:
RWBY has grown from a small-scale webseries into a globally beloved hit, and Crunchyroll has been a big part of that success. As one of the biggest names in anime, there is no better place to grow RWBY's audience and lay the groundwork for the next evolution of our incredible franchise. We are beyond excited to elevate and expand our partnership with this exclusive new release.
RWBY Volume 9 will feature 10 episodes. Are you excited? What do you think of the trailer?
