User blog comment:Varzan Deodinm Beldinm/The "meh" factor of this show has finally gotten to me. ( please read, then judge.)/@comment-4197234-20131011051704

I agree with points 1 and 2 completely. Point 3, I think the show is supposed to have all of those  cliches, but they aren't going to appeal to everyone.

Since this is literally monty's first time doing a show that requires actual writing, I suppose I can cut a little slack in terms of pacing, but trying to develop 8+ characters in a series as short as RWBY is practically asking for a trainwreck in terms of writing. It's the exact same problem with Angel Beats. It has a lot of interesting plot points that feel forced, or rushed and it has a plethora of interesting characters that are well established, but very few of them actually get developed.
