User blog comment:Eres - Mistress of Illusions/Another Volume 1 Review (my own two cents)/@comment-10380701-20131210085442

Volume 1 is both the RWBY crew testing the waters and experimenting with what they have. It's essentially that reason why it's... not the RWBY that we expected.

The score you gave is (imo), a little high. I'm a big fan of the show, but I'll only give it a 6.5/10.

Once they get in their comfort zone, then that's when RWBY will overcome all it's weak points.

Give or take a year or two.
