I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if you\u2019ve never heard of Camp Camp\u2014compared to RWBY and Red vs Blue (if you\u2019ve even heard of those two) it\u2019s the less well-known of Rooster Teeth\u2019s production, a now defunct indie production studio. If you have, maybe you saw it on YouTube at some point where it got most of its press (don\u2019t look it up, it\u2019s not there anymore)<\/p>\n
The premise of the show is best described as a conman\u2019s summer camp. A thousand years ago, in an attempt to make as much money as possible, Cameron Campbell set up a con where he could maximize profits and turn a regular summer camp into an everything camp. What ends up happening is a bunch of kids whose parents signed them up for entirely different camps (Science Camp, Magic Camp, Behavioral Correction Camp, etc.) all get jammed into a rinky dink summer camp where the only objective out of the day is to get to the end of the summer.<\/p>\n
We follow Max, this cynical and jaded kid whose entire thing is making every day at camp as entertaining or as miserable as possible, along with his cheerful camp counselor David who\u2019s never met a day he didn\u2019t love.<\/p>\n
A not bad premise for a series and it was critically acclaimed. Especially when it started picking up traction\u2014Fourth season wrapped up with a longer episode lineup than any season before and a finale open for a fifth season. Then dead air. The next\u00a0 season they were talking about doesn\u2019t air and the company declared a period of \u201cmass hiatus\u201d for a number of its shows. Somewhere in there twenty million dollars is lost and the show is \u201cTBA\u201d for four years. If you were watching the show at the time, you wouldn\u2019t be unrealistic to think the entire thing was canceled and call it good while it lasted.<\/p>\n
Behind the scenes, Rooster Teeth would face a lot of controversy, budgeting difficulties, and layoffs. You wouldn’t know that if you were only there for one show but like ehhh semantics. But what’s really weird is despite all this, there WAS news.<\/p>\n
Somewhere 2023, Rooster Teeth has its 20th year anniversary and four years after the series went dead, they premiere the closest thing to an actual official finale Camp Camp has had which they leave open-ended and THEN announce a fifth season a few days after.<\/p>\n
Fifth season doesn\u2019t air until March and I\u2019ll be honest pessimistically, I\u2019m like \u201calright yeah fifth season\u2019s not coming.\u201d five days after the first episode of the new season airs\u2014the entire studio announces its shutting down. two days before I wrote this blog the series aired its last episode. the last episode wasn’t grandiose or a big send off and there was no major announcement except for a little card at the end of the last episode thanking you for watching the show.<\/p>\n
and that’s the trashiest thing I’ve ever seen happen to an animated show!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
