As for the episodes themselves, I feel like they could be better executed. For example some episodes (like the Badge and the Burden parts 1 and 2) play off so closely to one another that they could literally be one episode and should have been. More episodes the length of Ruby Rose, Stray, Players and Pieces and Black and White would be awesome, even it means the number of episodes per volume drops from 16 to 10. They actually said that they wrote volume 1 as ten 11-13 minute chapters. They split up six of them to 1) make the season a bit longer, and 2) give themselves more time to finish up some of the later stuff. Hopefully they eventually get to the point where 10 minute episodes are the standard.

Here's hoping, some of those 5 minutes episodes felt incomplete, moreso when compared to the full 10-15 minute episodes (especially Black and White and Players and Pieces). Hmm... I wonder if they split up the episodes so that they wouldn't be pressured to finish RWBY S1 V2 for another six weeks... if so it's a good way to buy everyone some time to keep working especially if we really are getting the Vytal Festival Arc in the next volume (no doubt there will be more fighting scenes in that arc then there were in the V1 though I doubt any save for the the mid-volume episode and the finale will be as awesome as the Players and Pieces or Black and White action scenes (then again I doubt we will see many at all on the level of the Black and White scene, between Sun, Blake, Penny, Roman and all dem henchmen it must have been a bitch to animate that...)
