BestWeebOT said: As title says. Seems like a good anime and people kept hating on the previous ones so that's why I'm asking. the first 2 episodes is said to be a recap of first 2 volumes. The plot then goes original. Source: A lot of people who watched the original series |
| you should at least watch the original |
BestWeebOT said: So it has a manga? And do u refer as like in the plot being original or does it follow the previous anime? I'm not sure about the manga for this one. This was originally an American web animated series. Seasons were called volumes. 2 volumes were directed by Monty Oum(RIP) the original creator. The first 2 episodes are said to be a recap for the first 2 volumes. If you want to understand it in detail, then you need to watch the first 2 volumes of the original series. Personally, I dont think you need to do that. But if you want to follow the series, then go for it. |
| Yes, the first 3 episodes that are available only go over a bit of the show. They cut some good parts out of it. You’d only need to watch season 1. |
| "Should I watch the previous seasons to watch this?" You can watch this without any previous knowledge, it's a sort of alternative universe remake of the beginning of the old RWBY show (Volume 9 of which is coming this year). If this story gets you interested you can watch the 3D CGI series from 2013. (Eventually) you wouldn't be spoiled beyond Volume 2, not to mention those two first seasons are kind of short, also the action scenes are shortened here and some secondary plot threads omitted. The manga and other comics are bonus stories. |
| I recommend watching the first vol of the original series for context. however, this is a stand alone anime and there's not too much need for having prior knowledge of the series |
BestWeebOT said: So it has a manga? And do u refer as like in the plot being original or does it follow the previous anime? The mangas are mostly expansion of the original "character trailers" and thus are supplementary materials, they go more in depth with added context and details that gives more context to the things that goes on in the original show. They also give more backstory and character development to the characters focused. The manga drawn by Shirow Miwa has really cool art from my memory. If you do plan on reading them I'd highly recommend you to watch the 4 original character trailers titled "Red", "White", "Black" and "Yellow" trailers, they are very short, very well made though. I'd still recommend the trailers even if you don't plan on reading the manga tbh lol. |

| The answer to that depends on how far you wish to delve. Based on its first three episodes, I believe that it could be enjoyed without the context of the series proper, but it might not resolve to much more than a standard anime action show with the associated tropes. Part of the fun for veteran viewers is the opportunity to compare and contrast. I wouldn’t discourage you from watching Ice Queendom first, but I would encourage you to springboard to the series proper afterwards, at least. |
