Thanks for sharing! I will definitely check this out. From the few minutes I watched it looks insane lol. Is the whole thing fights?

I'm sure you're all familiar with machinima series Red vs. Blue. Its creators, Rooster Teeth Productions, have another show called RWBY (pronounced "ruby") that's more of an anime. The first season ended a little while ago but I just now watched the final episode. I was a little disappointed with that episode, particularly the big fight scene, which didn't last nearly long enough in my opinion. So, hungry for more, I looked up Dead Fantasy, a series of fan-made videos by Monty Oum, creator of RWBY, that features the characters of Final Fantasy and Dead or Alive duking it out.
Have you seen this? It's crazy! Oum's style for the fights is the most frenetic yet graceful thing imaginable. It's unrealistic in the extreme but it's amazing to watch. Oum does a great job using everything at the disposal of the characters, including the environment. If you're familiar with the characters, then watching Dead Fantasy is an extra special treat but I think anyone can appreciate the spectacle on display.
A story begins to emerge eventually but it's certainly not the focus. My favorite part is the second one because it has the most characters going at it at once. At least watch through that. This video collects everything available right now, as far as I know, but it does end abruptly in part 6. Oum has promised more is coming but it's been several years since anything has come out. Still, what's there is incredible. Check it out.
If you want to know a little more of the details, this wiki breaks things down pretty well.
