Ironically, I felt betrayed by Vol.1's premise. It's like a reverse Madoka. I expected Black Rock Shooter (NOT the anime, just BRS in general) and got a daily school life. Though episode 1 alleviated that concern somewhat.

For the first half of Vol.1 I'm pretty much just watching to wait for fight scenes, and then episode 8 hit. Then the school life portion begins and... it's underutilized, dashing expectations again. So I'm like "WHERE IS THIS GOING?! LOAOL" up until Black and White hit. That's around the point I completely got into RWBY.

And honestly, at that time the only thing that kept me watching was wanting to understand how the world works. Because lore is awesome. So Volume 2 got WoR and it's uphill from there.

At the end of Volume 3 I'd say RWBY is one of those shows that get good super late, and I probably wouldn't be around to watch it if it weren't for it's major selling point as a work by Monty Oum.

Did I feel betrayed before? Yes. Do I feel betrayed now? NOPE.
