Well there goes my halfcocked/Misinformed Answer (completely my fault, thought the question was "is Rwby ANY Good?" which seems similar but is quite different.) let me re-answer.

Volume 2 in contrast to Volume 1 had a good improvement in Modeling and Animations, he replaced the shadow people with actual background models and I applaud them for that, (if you ever do any animation or model making you will know how hard it can be at times, or very very frustrating) as well as much more smooth and complex animations with the characters and props around them, this can be contributed to either more practice with the software, use of shortcuts, or more staff. They also did some improvements with the characters and how they interact with each other, new characters,  and the world around them, was some good laughs and some good action (one of my favorite things was the alternative outfits) the writing…got better, still nowhere close to Shakespeare but it has some content value and shows some improvement. I think the writers need to focus on trying to look at the big picture when it comes to the show and then work on every single word to fit together, sounds difficult and in all honesty it is very difficult (I know I speak from experience.)  The only thing that makes me frustrated with the show was the feeling that we got nowhere, for instance here’s what happened this volume:

 ·          * we see how weak Ruby is without her weapon

 ·          * cinder does something to the CCT, what she did is left to speculation

 ·          * Introduced (with or without Dialogue): Neptune, Ironwood, Neo, Raven, Adam, Coco, Fox, Yasuhashi, and, what I have waited so for long! The back of a silhouetted Qrow’s head…

 ·          * And finally we get some tension and foreshadowing of future events that include: foreshadowing the Tournament, the true motives and leader of Cinders group, how much Ozpin knows about the plot (more than even us?) and what our Protagonists will do in order to level the playing field against the Antagonists.

There is much more but as a Student during Finals Weekend I am busy, let me apologize for any misgivings or accidental falsified information. (Besides when I do my Big Review of RWBY in February it will be MUCH MUCH longer.)
