It seems they were in kind of a hurry to get to the actual main plot, though. If they had shown slice of life stuff for a while, how long would it have taken to get to the tournament arc?

Also, it's kinda funny how, back in 2013, people were like "Ugh, it takes place at a school?! I thought the RWBY girls were going to be traveling around, doing missions, and fighting monsters and stuff, not stuck in a school for four years!" and now, here we are, saying "I kinda wish we had gotten to see a little more of their day-to-day life at school."

And it turned out that Team RWBY wasn't stuck going to school for four years, just one year. Back then, I had thought "Well, maybe once they finish their four years of Beacon, the series will continue and then we'll get to see them traveling around and doing missions!" It wasn't until after volume 2 that I had thought "Maybe they'll leave Beacon early for some reason", but even then, I hadn't thought that Beacon would get destroyed to the point where they couldn't attend anymore. Huh, funny enough, looking back on my volume 2 Bingo card, I had guessed "RWBY and/or JNPR leave/quit Beacon". Pretty sure I made that card after they had released the opening.
