Thank you Kurokawa-san. You make an excellent point there about characters actually needing to experience events. Just sitting around and talking about what they've been through doesn't equal actual development. It's nice to see that there are people here that not only seem to agree with me, but at least respect someone else's opinion and don't blatantly attack anyone who doesn't outright praise RWBY.

By that logic, 109, you need to research food and cooking before you can even have an opinion on anything you eat ever. I've got eyes and I've got ears; that's all anyone needs to have an opinion on anything in entertainment media. Miles and Kerry aren't writers either. They took no classes, are learning as they go and their "research" consisted of bingeing anime. By that definition, virtually everyone in the world is a writer. There's a difference between building up and actually telling a progressive story that goes somewhere. We've had more than three years of build up and they're still just building up. They don't need to keep adding pointless lore into the world, they need to actually make things happen in the world. Maybe they're trying to be aloof and mysterious, but it's not working. We've had years of that already and there's only so much jerking around that people will take before they start to get bored and find something else more interesting. It's hard to get invested in a story when there isn't even a sense of what all that build up is for or that the story and characters are actually moving an a direction towards an end. It took them a volume to get to Mistral and now that they're there, they're not even doing anything. I've been watching RWBY from the very first trailer and found myself being more disappointed each volume. Here we are four years later and all I can say is "Are we there yet?"
