Watched Season 1 Episodes 1-8 of RWBY

[anxious_songbird]

So, despite the negative things I've heard from reviews, I wanted to watch RWBY, mainly cause it sounds like the batshit insanity I would enjoy I mean I did enjoy HOMESTUCK, no matter how infuriating that mess is. So why not give it a shot? To see if I would like, flaws & all.

[spoilers for RWBY in general]


So besides the animation, I think that it's pretty good so far.

I think that at least for now, the characters are quite charming & enjoy watching when & hearing them talk. my favs so far gotta be Ruby, Yang & Nora.

I heard that the fact that Ruby made her own weapon & that it's quite lethal one never really comes up again. Which is a shame cause I would've loved an inventor protag in a shonen that can also kick ass. But otherwise, I like how idealistic Ruby is & how willing she is to prove it after giving the chance. I heard that her introduction wasn't that great, but I think it's fine. Ruby to my knowledge is meant to be a childish character so her having headphones in a store that happened to be robbed is fine as an introduction (at least I think that for now).

Not sure how I should feel about Jaune & Pyrrha not gonna lie, Pyrrha just feels kinda empty & Jaune feels like an audience surrogate, which... if you were gonna do that, why not make it Ruby? (okay, it wouldn't make sense with her character, but then, just, don't have an audience surrogate).

Knowing Blake is a Faunus, I don't like the fact she also has human ears, I just don't.

Also the combat is just cool :3c. I am excited to see more for now.
