Whilst I agree there is a lot of criticism for the sake of it, most of which seems to be for no other reason it's not Japanese though even the cast of noted that some fans get over the top and criticise things like certain relationships not happening or the story not matching there own had cannon on some other way.

I also think that some of the criticism was valid, the animation wasn't the best, there was a lack of either motivation or character development for most characters and the shorter episodes didn't help though I don't think it was the main reason for either.

Most of the people I saw defend the show didn't defend the show its self but criticised the commenters for not being able to produce anything better themselves which whilst in many cases including mine is true it also doesn't help.

The thing is Rooster Teeth have actually listened and begun to address the issues, episodes are longer, RWBY have been given more motivation and better character development and the shadow people have been replaced by actual models.
