It'd be alright if it went the Akame ga Kill route (though god they shouldn't, Akame ga Kill's world is just shit). I never liked Akame ga Kill (perhaps unfairly, I stopped 5 episodes in), I was told it'd be one of those animes where people start dropping so often you wonder who the main character's supposed to be, and that wasn't what I got at all, I got a central main character who's sad two people we never met died and keeps going on about it. I wasn't enthused per se.

Sorry, went on a rant, I was trying to say if they went that route I'd respect it more because we got to know the characters. As for going a dark route, I can see them going dark before Ruby makes it better and the existing darkness combined with the ray of hope Ruby gives the world makes it more adventerous, Fullmetal Alchemist style. Akame Ga Kill Spoilers:...

That person and all his MC friends(bar possibly one named in the title... it's kinda ambiguous) are dead at the end... he doesn't even make it until the last episode, it actually gets to be less about those 2 former dead friends after the first 5 episodes, you quit at the location that issue is pretty much resolved.

that is why I can't see RWBY going that route, because once RWBY(team) is gone, RWBY seems unlikely to continue, and Monty and the other writers talked about the series as though they could easily keep going after its conclusion
