This was a bit difficult for me to watch. This guy pauses a lot, and he's definitely looking at it from the point of view of an anime fan. I dislike anime for the most part, and I'm watching the show as a webseries.

But, he did do a great job for the most part. I personally don't take issue with the voices as much as he does, and didn't expect something other than, or take issue with the school setting. Otherwise, though, I agreed with most of what he said. I think the most important thing to remember about RWBY is that it isn't an anime. Don't call it an anime. That doesn't cover all of what RWBY is doing, and RWBY doesn't do justice as an anime. It's lower-budget, shorter, and was never Japanese. But while a higher budget and more time to work would definitely improve it, and a longer runtime would be appreciated by a lot of people, moving towards a more traditional anime style would be a step back for this show.
