I like RWBY so far; they aren't going in any direction I would have predicted, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The pacing's alright, and the fight scenes are fantastic. I like the characters, for the most part, with Weiss being my favorite. I'm sincerely hoping they're going to delve deeper into each character and really flesh them out. But as it stands, with around four or five minutes per episodes, they're doing a rather good job of packing things in naturally.

On the subject of CRDL, from what we've seen, I doubt we'll see much positive character development. If someone takes them down a notch, I feel like they'll just start to harbor a grudge against whoever does it. Their personalities wouldn't suggest anything positive coming from them (racists, bullies, and very nearly sadists, from some points of view). I don't want to see another 180 degree personality switch like what they did with Weiss (which was honestly a bit jarring. I'm hoping she isn't completely nice now and retains some of her earlier personality).

Finally, I think Ruby's main advantage is her creativity. In thirty seconds she thought to use Gambol Shroud as a slingshot to propel her towards a frozen-in-place Nevermore so she could drag it up a sheer cliff with her scythe and decapitate it. That being said, she's naive and doesn't understand the responsibility she has as a team leader just yet. That's her main issue. But in combat, from the one scene we've seen of RWBY actually fighting together, she's good at coordinating her team, and unlike Jaune, she has a fair amount of combat skill.
