I must appluade you with that awesome post.

The voice acting, however, still bothers me. I don't know how many shows/animes you've watched, but I know some where the voice acting was just so bad I couldn't get through the first episode, and it looked promising before I watched it. The reason the first two trailers were so good was because they showed the characters' personalities without them even speaking. For example, in the Red trailer, Ruby looked really serious and even cocky (when she smirked at that one wolf), and now that I hear her voice, that has completely changed and threw me off.

As I've said in my review, I'm not gonna toss this show away, and said I'm still giving it a chance. I'm not trying to flame or whatever, but when you see something with potential and lots of hype, you can't really blame people for being worried a little. Not everyone likes anime-esk voices. I myself don't like watching anime subs because I think the Japanese language sounds weird (I'm not racist, though), and when Americans try to mimic their cutesy voices, it sounds bad. Not all of the time, but when it does...

I truly love everything else (I mean, a rocket launcher that can turn into a bat was super creative, and the gauntlets too), but if more than just these characters don't sound good, RWBY might loose quite a number of people. RoosterTeeth has evolved quite a lot since RvB, so they should have the money to hire from outside their own employers to be voice actors (though I don't know the specifics to that, so I might be wrong).
