First of all, good luck on Friday! I personally find that, when it comes to test, not worrying about it is the best thing. I took the SATs recently, and I think I did pretty well because I didn't worry about it before or during the test. Even better, homeschool and abandon the hellhole that is the school system! I have a lot of pent-up anger regarding schools, so I'll leave it at that before I type a whole damn essay.

Second of all, I feel like RWBY is incredibly entertaining to watch, especially during the fight scenes, and the characters are largely interesting and amusing. There's nothing bad about liking it! However, it doesn't have a whole lot of substance. It has more potential than anything, and I think that's what keeps a lot of people on the wiki invested in it. Your tree metaphor is spot-on. Personally, after thinking about it, I think the biggest issue is the writing; it needs to be more consistent. While this was somewhat rectified in volume 2, I think the writing is sometimes rushed and the characters can be annoyingly inconsistent. As much as I hate to say this, I think Weiss is a perfect example.
