Hello, I already see you've boiled deep on the episode. So, I'll...keep this brief. Blabbing.

This is the first episode, and due to the sneak peeks and rumor mill spreading around, this felt like a buffer towards the story, as some exposition's done, when Beacon and the opposing White Fang and Cinder's leadership clash? Probably this was a parallel show of the new antagonists (they seem independent if they weren't do bad guy stuff) cutting old ties, and Cinder being all enigmatic before she tells Roman Torchwick that they take another step.

Within Beacon, the atmosphere contrasts. The first episode/chapter revealed idle play. Team RWBY and JNPR are established buddies! Blake takes notes--I'm afraid she could get pickpocketed (if she carries any of it). And Ruby arrives, stressing two weeks that lead up to the second semester, full about the Vytal Festival and Tournament.

The food fight was a food fight, so no one got mortally wounded...bragging rights, optional. Blake, Pyrrha and Ruby do display their semblances, all the reveals are getting there. How will the rest of the day go? Are Sun and Neptune more than just visitors? Will Pyrrha be okay-okay? How's Jaune, Penny, and Oz[pin?

And all the Dust. Cinder is the "queen" and she has "pawns", so she's going to use them in her first moves, if that's how it's done in chess, right?

(Yeah, it's not brief as thought, but since this is the first chapter, we have a lot to wonder about! The characters introduced get to develop, and we can see more of Remnant and weapons and random and feels.)
