when the show started I was led to believe it would be like a slice of life/ action show, however when it hit Volume 3, it turned extremely dark very quickly and I was unprepared. I've seen plenty of dark anime, but at least they prepared me from the get-go by showing me dark things happening. For example, in Overlord it showed a village being massacred, in Akame Ga Kill it showed Tatsumi's childhood friends getting murdered for sick amusement and in Parasyte it showed vicious gore and shit in the very beginning of the first episode. I was fine watching those because of that but in RWBY it didn't even show murder happening only implying it happened or mentioning it happened, not even a death on screen. So it seemed so sudden I was caught off-guard, I was mentally traumatized, to where I stopped watching for a while even after volume 4 started and then after finishing to watch said volume I lost interest all together.
