I don't have paragraphs and paragraphs on and on to talk about rwby like the other reviewers but what i have to say is that everything but later volume 3 either sucks or is so average and mediocre that it actually hurts, also i kinda do not really have to say this as i already said it in the title but volume 4 and volume 5 have really painfully obvious and predictable twists to the point where i don't even see the point of watching any further. *Also sorry for my really bad grammar and stuff*

RWBY makes me sad. It didn't use to be this forgotten series like it is now and nowadays it seems to be a show that doesn't know where it's going or what it was in the first place. If you don't know what RWBY is that's normal. I don't know what RWBY is! And I don't pretend to think that it's some hidden jewel in the world of anime anymore. RWBY is the definition of a forgotten series. Before I rip into how this series fell from grace so hard, I'm gonna talk about the good stuff. Let's begin with RWBY Volumes 1-3.RWBY takes place in a world that's pretty much a mix between the Walking Dead and Harry Potter, and believe me when I tell you that this is not as insane as it sounds. The story is about a girl named Ruby who wants to become a huntress, but to do this she has to team up with her lovable sister Yang, the ice Princess Weiss, and the closed off rebel Blake. These characters are so much fun to see on screen and it's great to see them interact with one another since they have great chemistry. There are some side character's too but they don't really steal the show all that much and they don't take attention away from the protagonists and that's a good thing. The plot is pretty straightforward and it doesn't try to be larger than it is. The first three volumes have buildup and we learn about the world of Remnant in a way that moves the narrative forward. Then it has one of the best climaxes I've ever seen in an anime and there is plenty of emotion throughout this sequence. After Volume 3 ended, Volume 4 came out AKA: the beginning of the end. This volume has one problem, one flaw that kills the show. This is the problem that it has and it has made RWBY a forgotten series. The problem is the terrible..PACING! When I talk about pacing, I mean plot progression and the flow of entertainment. In the last three volumes, the pacing isn't that bad. It's pretty good. There is slow buildup between events and each volume seems to carry the story further and expand on the lore. In RWBY Volumes 4 and 5, the pacing becomes inexcusable. Action scenes don't feel natural, story elements are too heavily reliant on exposition, character arcs are too convuluted and the narrative just completely loses it's mind. The plot becomes boring when so many things are going on all at once to the point where the audience can't become invested. If the audience can't get into the story, the show falls apart. And you know how I talked about Side Characters not being the focus in the original three volumes. Where here, it's the total opposite! There's only like one side character who's sort of interesting and everyone else just falls flat and fails to warrant attention. The anime is hurt even more when it doesn't know how to handle so many characters within the narrative. Too many characters is a bad thing when we don't have enough time to care about them. People like me who were once big RWBY fans have kinda just turned our back on this series because of these issues. RWBY needs to get it's act together if it hopes to become an amazing series again. Until it does, it's going to remain a forgotten one.

First , people, this was a web series more or less, and it was darn fun to just consume through, it has some tragedy in it, so be prepared to discuss that if you are watching it with your kids (at the end of volume 3 especially)Considering these types of materiel heavily favors, those who want to watch it anyways, Im not surprised at such a high rating it has garnered, I would give it a very solid 8.. I know some are knocking this as a bit less professional quality then some other current anime projects, but frankly they are missing the overall concept and themes presented, while also glossing over the fact its western conceptualized, allowing you to listen without having to read subtitles all the time, is a nice change of pace.

This show looks like an Indie game from the early PS2 era. It looks like it was animated by those companies who make ripoffs of Disney movies that you find at the dollar store. It looks like it was made by a 3-year old who just took a "My first animation" course, which he failed, because he's 3 and can't grasp the concept of computers yet. Things phase through each other like it's nothing, there's no shading, and, for being made for English voice actors, it makes it all the sadder that the lips movements never sync up with the dialogue. I have nothing against Rooster Teeth, I really don't, and my friends even recommended this show to me repeatedly, but I found the animation so jarring and uncanny that I can't give it anything more than 1 star.
