User blog comment:Varzan Deodinm Beldinm/The "meh" factor of this show has finally gotten to me. ( please read, then judge.)/@comment-11109699-20131011023009

I absolutely agree with many of your points, I'd rather a more natural method of world building occur than classes, and I think the cliches are, well, cliche. However I think the cast is good how it is. While the focus could be more on the RWBY girls, I like the branching off arcs for other characters. I, myself am a writer, and I am currently working on my own manga series. Like Monty I have 8 major players in my story, and removing any one would ruin my image. When I was a pup my father told me to always pay attention to the seemingly irrelevant details, as they reveal the most truth about the world the story takes place in. Monty is a good story teller, and he is weaving gold here, but it takes time to make the loom move fast enough. Personally I am going to review RWBY for each Volume, not each episode. RWBYs storyline appears to be one more delicate and complex than even mine is, and it's already difficult to sum mine up without extended conversation. Jaune is a major player, let his arc play out, as it will only better the story, and our understanding of its world. Think of it as a tangent, a common practice of the best story tellers, where a side story is used as a better example for a main idea. "Stop not the wizened storyteller, but listen to the smallest quiver in the words, for each word holds the power to change a world"
