why this show sucks:

1. A tiny amount of characters (2-3) have depth or development, meaning the rest of the 6 or more characters have no depth and development.

2. The villain appears only in the 1st and last episode, and his reasons for his actions are never explained.

3. over 96% of the story is just the characters doing stuff at school with nothing to do with the antagonists or any actual conflict.

4. voice acting sucks. Japanese cartoons (which are technically anime) are excused for bad english dub voice acting due to the fact that the language gets translated into a completely different one. But in RWBY's case, the ORIGINAL language is english, so it has no excuse for it being terrible.

5. SPOILERS around in the late episodes it all of a sudden talks about "Faunis" but only explains what they are by the way they look.

Overall RWBY is a terrible cartoon that looks like a fan cartoon put on youtube with the only redeeming qualities being how animated the show is (look closely and things are constantly moving, being more ANIMATED than normal cartoons) and the action scenes that look like something you'd see in a fighting game.
