User blog comment:Sapo444/Hello fellow RWBY fans! Here is a strict, but good review of RWBY for u!/@comment-15145664-20131110153530

It's seems like you're complaining a lot about the pacing, particularly the inclusion of Jaune's arc in the middle, saying that it was irrelevant.

I disagree. It might have been unappreciated, but it was very much needed. At the time, Jaune was perhaps the weakest character with little to nothing to him.

We didn't know about Blake, but she was supposed to be a mystery. Jaune was just a weak character who could do some half-decent slapstick here and there. That wasn't enough.

By taking a bit of time to give him development and turn him into an actual character, it will make it easier to use it in future episodes and give more focus to the other "MCs". (Even though RT has made it clear that they see every character as being very important.)

So, I can agree on some parts, but for all of its issues I don't think the pacing is as bad as you think it to be. The animation is the weakest part in my opinion. (outside of actions scenes, of course)
