I truly believe that they're giving it their all, and that they're pouring all of their passion and effort into the show, not just for Monty's legacy, but for their own as well. I think they really enjoy making it. But it's kinda like an aspiring, inexperienced pianist trying to create Beethoven's 5th symphony. As hard as they may work at it, it's just too tall an order, and it's not coming out quite right. That's always been my feeling as well. I mean, let's be honest here. Rooster Teeth is a company that, in its nascency, was a bunch of dudes tossing fruit at each other's testicles. It wasn't really built to foster the worldclass anime that RWBY aspires to be. Yes, they've expanded and adapted to try and make it work, but there's only so much you can do when the foundation isn't there.

They should be damn proud of what they've done, as nobody would have expected a studio of this size to get this far with a concept this big. But we all need to be honest with ourselves and recognize that this show is struggling mightily, and has been since its creation. As much potential as there is, RWBY is one of the most frustrating shows I've ever watched, because they make so many damn mistakes.

I love it like a son who keeps disappointing me.
