User blog:Darkcloud1111/Have We Built The Show Up Too Much

Ok, now before I get flamed for typing this (which is unlikely, I mean most of you all are pretty nice and are open to opinions), keep in mind that I am a big fan of the show; as you probably know by now.

Anyway, in the time that Volume 1 ended about 6-7 months ago there has been a kind of shift in the way people see the show. As the show was airing and reached its eventual conclusion with Black and White, people began to make their final reviews or just episode reviews. Most of these reviews included some of the problems the first volume had, mainly animation errors, bad voice acting at times, and a surprising lack of world building (I mean we learn things about the world of RWBY, but there is still basic things we don't understand).

Yet despite all this, people still seem to be building the show up as if it is the greatest show ever invented by anyone; which is probably an exaggeration. People claim they have re-watched the series over a hundred times and the only music they have listened to in the past few months is off of the RWBY-Soundtrack. All those reviews have slowly died off with a lock of new episodes and in their place, mostly blogs and forums about speculation about the future and what we think will happen when the time comes. I know many of you have either read or written fan-fiction about the characters of viewed/made fan-art in your spare time.

Based on all this, I have to wonder if maybe people are exaggerating how they feel about the show, even if they don't notice it themselves. As I said, with no new episodes people have had nothing to do besides try and guess what awaits us in Volume 2 or talk about things not fully explained yet, but is it possible we are setting our expectations way too high. The show hasn't even finished the first season and yet people expect everything to be amazing. In my own opinion as a fan I want the show to do well, much like how RvB has become the mega-hit it is today. My opinion as a logical person on the other hand feels like that desire for the show to do well has turned into us believing that the show is already as good as we hope it will be in our minds, even if it may not be there just yet.

What do you think, am I just a crazy person? When Volume 2 does come out, will our expectations be so high that it has no hope of matching what we think it will be? Or when it does come out, will be blindly praise the show and overlook whatever faults we find with it?
