I said Volume 1 had no real plot (learn to read before calling out people). And it didn't. Everything after ep8 seems more like mid-season stuff than a single plot thread.

It was in Volume 2 that the show seemed to gain an actual plot that actually went somewhere. Volume 3 followed up on it and much better, though at the cost of skipping most of the tournament.

Vol.1 doesn't even count as "exposition", for the most part all it does is Introduce basic things, the times it gives proper exposition can be counted in 1 hand.

Then they brought WoRs in Vol.2, to provide "proper" exposition without interrupting the plot and the very limited screentime. Though the first few WoRs were rather unhelpful, this meant that we barely got any real exposition afterwards. Maybe once or twice in the entire Volume.

As for the Trailers, yes, one should watch them since they have important info....which is a BAD thing. Trailers are, by design, simply supposed to hook people in. They are not supposed to provide crucial information that won't be shown anywhere else.

Yet Miles and Kerry think absolutely everyone watched the Trailers or read the manga, so they don't even bother to mention their events in the show. Events that are important, or provide important info, such as:

-The time Weiss defeated the Knight and was allowed to go to Beacon. And also how she got her scar.

-The time Blake ran away from the WF and her relationship with Adam.

-Yang's quest of searching for her mother.

If you didn't watch the Trailers or didn't read the manga (things you should not be required to do), then you'll have no idea why this Adam guy cares so much about Blake, or where did Yang's "dilemma" about looking for her mother even come from.

Or more egregiously, where the hell did the Knight even come from? Pretty sure that this last bit is the reason some people think Weiss can just summon whatever she imagines instead of strictly the enemies that she defeated and led her to grow as a person one way or another.
