It occurs to me that it is hard to accuse a free-to-air series of having 'false advertising' as they are not getting any commercial gain by it.

FWIW, I agree that volume 1 didn't live up to the hype. However, I was always sceptical if the series was capable of living up to the hype. I'd remind you that we are just a little over 2 hours into the narrative whilst, with a true commercial animé, we'd be closer to 10 hours. It's that reason that we don't have much character development or story so far; there hasn't been enough time to do it.

I promised that I'd give myself two seasons to decide whether RWBY was worth the effort. Right now, it's hovering between 'mediocre' and 'good' in my estimation and I hope that, by the end of season 2/volume 3, I'll be able to make a firm decision whether I want to continue to watch the show.
