RABtoons is a YouTube web series that parodies video games mainly from the Final Fantasy and Resident Evil series. The animation is simplistic but the characters are full of life even with their limited movement and face variety.
The cast mainly comprises of Fullmetalraz and Bullidom, however over time various guest voice actors have made appearances.
Their Youtube page can be found here
. The Final Fantasy In A Nutshell series now has its own page.
RABtoons has the following Tropes:
- Adaptational Jerkass: For the sake of comedy, characters will act more comical, perverted or ill-tempered than they are in their games.
- Characterization Marches On: Chris Redfield started off as a the "straight man" to the other "wacky" characters, starting with the short "Sheva, come on, hurry!" Chris has become a Cloud Cuckoolander.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: The very early series had very curved models without eyebrows, worse microphone quality and a very sluggish tone.
- Everyone Has Standards: In the Silent Hill 4 video, while Henry is a perverted and uncaring anti-vaxxer in this take, he's disturbed by Andrew's poor choice of words making him sound like a pedophile, and even more disgusted to learn he hit children.
- Only Six Faces: Due to the template used for each character, the faces are very limited in variety with only occasional exceptions.
- Stylistic Suck: The creators claim the simple animation style is to enable quicker releases and is part of the charm.
-
The Other Darrin: Several characters have had multiple different voice actors with as few as several months between changes leading to inconsistent character personalities.
