well i've said a series of times on this site that thus far the show has two major things over most modern anime (as an guy whose seen almost all of the ones from the 90s to 2013)

1) the plot is strait forward, for some reason writers try to go too convoluted and well everyone is expecting the plot twists or is just lost, RWBY goes for the strait forward approach and even though we see a lot of things coming there still are the minor things that get us.

2) it's got a good mix of light hearted mixed with some dark undertones. I mean heck i'm still wondering what 1) WTF was that black sphere in season one's intro and 2) how the heck the grim were a threat, they seem to me to just be a bunch of supped up bears and territorial supper snakes.

but i still think Cinder is a (or wants to be) a avitar of the grim and i still hold that she was narrating in the intro despite the change in voice actress.
