You know in the midst of re-watching this, I think they could potentially have lost a few fans during Shining Beacon P1 and P2 and First Step P1. Afterall nothing exciting happened during it and, a lot of Monty's fans are action-fanatics which is why they love Dead Fantasy and Haloid. Obvioiusly those with a taste for story and character development have happily watched through but I think it would have helped it's popularity if they kept the 12 minutes episodes they originally had instead of splitting up 6 of them. three weeks of nothing but talking can definately put off some people and was likely the reason for the assumption that RWBY was a little more geared towards children.

Note: I do understand why they split up the six episodes (development time needed an extension). But still it's an intersting observation. Same goes for the sert up to Forever Fall P2 (nothing really happened action-wise for three weeks instead of just one)
