User blog comment:CreatorTheta/How dead is RWBY?/@comment-25316824-20190109070916

hmm... I am extremely critical of the show but I try to enjoy it when I can. There wasn''t much to enjoy in V4. I liked 2 fights.

The 3 trailers for V5 and first 4 episodes are geniuenly hype and good. But then they just run into a brickwall. V5 is easily the worst volume of RWBY every made. No exageration. Multiple people have quit the fandom or just lost interest because of how utterly crap it is. The fights are terrible. The dialogue is terrible. The music is getting generic and unmemorable. It all sounds the same now. If you go into it with literally no expectations then you MAY enjoy it. There is 1 great fight at the end but there are reasons to not like that fight as well.

If you are tilt after watching the end of V5 then I reccomend skipping the Adam short and jumping right into V6. The Adam short is not as bad as V5 but it is still a cut below V6.

We are 9 episodes into Volume 6 and it genuinely looks like they have learned from their mistakes. There hasn't been a bad fight this whole volume. The team got back to basics with making us care about the characters on screen and earning our trust back. The secondary characters are pushed to the side (especially the ones invovled in Blake's plot) and we are refocusing on the team RWBY dynamic which is what sold us on the show in the first place.

The RWBY wikia is not nearly as active as it once was but the Discord is still alive and kicking.
