Monty did warn that the "trailers" were more like inverted "Meet the __" videos from Team Fortress 2: in TF2, most of the game is spent fighting, while in the "Meet the __" videos, you take a moment to let the characters talk. While in RWBY, most of the show (at least early on) is spent letting the characters talk, while the "trailers" are action-fests. Furthermore, he mentioned that the first episode was "long" for a RWBY episode.

Having said that, I felt the pacing was good - and I mean pacing in a "how much time you're spending on things" kind of way. In fact, I'd go so far as to call these "episodes" fragments of an episode, a "movie" broken into bits and pieces.

I imagine later on they'll devote entire episodes to fights, so be patient - we'll probably have an "exhibition fight" in a few episodes so we can get a handle on everyone's abilities.
