Actually I call it good because what I think it is: good. Volume 1 was an exhibition of potential, not limit. RWBY, when written, designed, acted and animated by what are, for the most part more comparable to amateurs than professionals with a budget that is significantly less than what would be available to Toei Animation is good.

As Miles and Kerry get more comfortable and gain more experience in writing the show, as Arryn, Kara, Lindsay and Barbara settle into their roles as the four main characters, and as Monty and co. get more accustomed with using Poser (or preferably they find a better animation kit) they could easily iron out any robotic deliveries, character incosistancies, cheesy storylines (Pyrrha and Jaune work as central characters... just not when the plot itself is as weak as it was for Jaundice and Forever Fall) and continuity/physics issues (though Poser isn't very friendly when it comes to clipping issues) the show itself will also improve in quality.

The ONLY thing in RWBY that can and likely will stay the same is the music. The music is composed by a team of actual professionals, spear-headed by Jeff Wiliams whom has 10 years of experience working with Trocadero and RoosterTeeth. The soundtrack to Volume 1 was awesome. The only thing I could see improving is Casey who, despite only being 15 did an exceptional job as the lead singer, and can only continue to get better.

We have a unique and intriguing world that has spurred endless amounts of speculation and the generation of countless theories and  we have characters that have instigated the creation of insane amounts of original characters and fan-based stories exploring numerous character relationships, potential backstories and various routes of character development. That in itself is a success. The simple fact that Monty has managed to draw so many people into this world of his to the point where they are joining him in the creation of characters, stories and non-canon development is astounding.

Also try to avoid using absolutes. You have every right to believe that RWBY is a piece of crap. But don't make a post claiming that the show is definately that. It has its flaws yes, people like you may not be able to look past them, but others have been drawn into the universe created by Monty and are actually invested in the characters, saying RWBY is "So bad it's good" without noting the fact that this is your subjective opinion is just going to cause an argument rather than a debate.
