Just finished the finale. Overall, I don't think it did anything crazy or out of the ordinary. It was entirely by the books, taking the story down the path that we thought they were going. I give it an 7.5/10.

The flashbacks are a bit wonky in Maya. If you want to capitalize off of nostalgia then you should have shown them in the original Poser. And everything was just 2D animation which was disappointing. I didn't feel anything while they were flashing through. Too wonky.

Note: Ruby's SE goes out in a circle, it is not focused in a line. This confirms that Ruby can hit stuff with her SE that she isn't looking at. Not sure how I feel about that.

I am actually kinda excited for what is going to happen in Atlas. Will Qrow and Winter have a reunion but this time it is Qrow walking in on Winter's home turf? Is Ruby going to give up the relic to Ironwood after she sees the conditions of the Faunus? Will Yang give up her arm out of disgust of Atlas? So many possibilties.

I did not feel this way at the end of V5. I was just disappointed and didn't really care where they went afterwards. I have many thoughts on the whole volume but overall, V6 is a hidden gem of RWBY. A lot of people are going to forget about RWBY or drop it after V5 since they can't find it on Youtube. And a lot of people are going to drop it after V5 for obvious reasons.

I would rank the volumes V6>V3>V4>V2>V1>V5

The ranking is pretty easy. Volumes 1-3 were getting better production quality and voice acting every single season. 5 is easily the worst. I think 6 is better than 3 simply because 6 is more consistently good and doesn't suffer from a bloated tournament arc with mediocre fights. The only question is where do you put 4.
