I agree with a lot of this. The trailors didn't bother me as I came into RWBY late and watched the trailers last, which I shouldn't have done. The school thing I can accept if it's done properly, but with the episodes being so short, the school takes up time that could be spent world building. The references I don't mind, but a lot of them I don't get so I never even realize they were there. I've never seen soul eater so I can't compare. Episode length I don't like, but I accept because I know it is tough to make the episodes. Finally, the character building I can't defend, and I don't want to. I don't hate Jaune, but he is definately not my favorite. This is time that could have been spent building the main characters, like the amazing Blake, but was instead spent on the comedic relief. I came here wanting to watch RWBY so don't go shoving them out of the way to give me JNPR. I don't mind getting both at once, but we had four episodes of almost no RWBY, You can coun't Blake's lines on one hand. Do the side character dev later, after we have the main characters set. As for forever fall, yes that would have been perfect to have Blake sitting on her rock (it will forever be Blake's rock) and reminiscing, but that would have been a reference to the trailer, which was said to be not canon, so Blake may have never been to Forever Fall before. I really hope Blake's at least is canon because it was amazing.
