Arizona Circle
The smelly minds of Funhaus and Rooster Teeth are teaming up for a sketch comedy show that’s silly, irreverent, and flat-out morally decrepit. Each episode finds our gang of misfits trapped in a comical situation as the dips and plateaus whisk us from one outrageous sketch to the next.
Haunter

RWBY Volume 7
Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang have fought hard alongside their friends to bring the Relic of Knowledge to Atlas, the northernmost Kingdom in Remnant.
