Some episodes I'd like to see in the future would be more focused on explaining the history, culture, and working of the RWBY world. I mean, the settings they showed in the trailers were so atmospheric and possessed of an dreamy, mythical feel that I couldn't help but get sucked into it (though, of course, the super-duper-awesome-oh-my-god-I'm-gonna-download-and-listen-listen-listen-to music really, really helped. Kudos to Jeff Williams and his daughter Casey!) Somewhat amusingly, at the time of watching the trailers, the one thing I thought they lacked was character interactions, so I was busy writing a fanfiction of my own at the RWBY fanon wiki

(just in case you want to see it, it's here! http://rwbyfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Shut_Up_and_Save_The_World Yes, it's title is Shut Up and Save the World. I'm not a super serious author >.<)

focusing on character interactions (though I haven't gotten to that point yet: I was interrupted by my super-packed summer) but now, looking at the actual show itself, they've definitely got that covered (and it is glorious! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!) so when I return to writing Shut Up and Save the World, I'll be shifting it into High Action Fantasy (though my brain is completely stumped on how to change my original snow-queen Weiss into TSUNDERE! Weiss...Oh well, adversity breeds skill, or so they say).

One good idea for a future episode thus focused on this theme of exploration, would be one focusing on the workings of the Schnee Dust Company. An episode where RWBY and co. get invited to an event hosted by the SDC would not only be great for showing how economics/magic/mining/etc work in RWBY (HAHA! BEHOLD MY SCHNEE MINERMACHINE 3000, able to sift ten thousand tonnes of rock with a single rotation of its mighty drills!), but it would be a great character showcase episode for Weiss, as she's been (kind-of) out of water at Beacon, and having a place to let her really show off her skills (for one, she seems quite smart; her lectures to Ruby and her (admittedly narcissistic) self-classification as the "smartest" girl certainly seems to support that theory).

Just my two cents.
