User blog comment:Sapo444/Hello fellow RWBY fans! Here is a strict, but good review of RWBY for u!/@comment-5217560-20131110202538

Well to each their own Hahah. I do think it was a bit harsh, but you weren't outright bashing it so that's good!

Ever since the second episode, many people have been complaining about episode length. Heck, why wouldn't they? The show is too good to not be of a longer run time. However, that's something that Monty and the crew can not control(which they've said multiple times). Now that they have a better idea of what they are doing, more resources, more of a following, etc hopefully they will have the means to make longer episodes in the near future. No shot against you or anything, but I feel as if at this point, talking about how short episodes are, is like beating a dead horse. Instead of looking at them as individual blocks, view them as what they are meant to be: chapters.

As for the focus. Well, the show is named RWBY but Miles, Kerry, and Monty have said it isn't gonig to just revolve around our four femme fatales. So I would imagine that we'd get arcs not based around our lovely leading ladies. JNPR are just as important as RWBY, so I think it's reasonable that Jaune had an arc to himself. Although, I must admit that I was estatic once the focus came back to team RWBY.

The pacing is fine for what it is. I mean, one can't really expect much out of 5 min episodes, hahaha. I think looking at the whole volume as a whole, would satisfy some of us in the pacing department. I am inclined to agree with you about the story being better during the 10 min episodes, but that's a given. More time equals more room to move around in.

I think only the Black and Yellow trailer are canon to the show(possibly White, but I doubt it), because Ruby's trailers was before she had a character, and it was just a showcase of Crescent Rose. As for Weiss' trailer, well that looked more like a showcase too, seeing as how we only saw her fight and sing. Black and Yellow were the only ones with real story development elements.

All in all, this is only the beginning. From what we've seen last episode, the gears have finally started rolling, and with that comes much more information about the different conflicts, the world they live in, the people they are becoming, etc. They just need time, especially since they don't have the time each episode to explain things to us.

As for animation...yeah I wish the episode animations were of the same standard as the trailers, but I can understand why it isn't. Animation is extremely hard, and they are working on these things every week so I personally try not to nit pick at it. Although if it were me, I would've started on the episodes a looooooong time ago. That way, I'd already have them ready and I would just need to enhance a few things here and there, with the end of result being of high quality. However, I'm sure they've tried that, but are busy with many many different other things. So basically we'll have to take what we can get.

All in all, I love the series, even with it's flaws and I'm glad that you do as well. To me, this is just a ride that'll only keep getting better and better!

And now that we are FINALLY done with intros and yada, maybe they'll move on to the good stuff!!! MWahahhaa

I also want to apologize if I was rude or offensive in anyway! It was not my intention!
