The problem is that Rooster Teeth has shown that they can do this with multiple titles when is comes to Characterization and giving a clear focus to at least what the story is going to be about. RWBY right off the bat draws you in with awesome commercials and visuals but as far as being something that can really stand on its own, it just wouldn't be able to. Without Red Vs Blue, Achievment Hunter, the Lets Plays and the fact that Rooster Teeth is a very well recognized company it wouldn't be known as well as it is.

The way most people (Myself included) saw this when they first started watching was through action goggles because Monty is an amazing animator and has a great imagination for it. Now, that they have released it, everything animated up until the action scenes just seems under par. go back to the first episode and just watch how the badguys walk. (It looks ridiculous!) Then, ontop of all this they take a break halfway through the season and leave you with like forty different questions. No real story for anyone besides Ruby, Wiess, Blake and Juane. Before they should have even touched another team they should have at least incorperated an episode for Yang just to make sure we had an idea of how Ruby's squad fits together.

I have high hopes for this series and loved it until I ordered Volume 1 from Rooster Teeth and watched it. I was slightly dejected and pissed off now knowing that I paid money for it now and am not satisfied. I guess that is the reasoning for my change of heart now that I think about it. Great when it was free but now that I paid for it I see its flaws
