Where as most shows have half-hour to hour episodes, and about twenty four of them per season, RWBY hasn't even had two hours, and is approaching its season finale soon. this means they have to get plenty of story into very little time. Overall I think they're doing very well with the amount of time they have, and have managed far better than most would. I also think that things will improve as the story continues. Lots of shows, even some of the best, start out with some clear (but in no way destructive) flaws that will be weeded out later.

Well you see my issue isn't that it's rushed so much that it's being rushed in a mediocre way. It's only passible by most standards, it's not bad but it's not good. I think they need to bring someone in to help direct and write the more quiet emotional scenes. Though, I will give the show time to come into it's own. I do recognize it's a blooming new IP, so it needs to settle into its skin.

I also have a minor issue with some of the backgrounds during those scenes. It usually seems like only the people directly involved are moving and everyone else is standing still (most noticable in the scenes leading up to the main battle in episode 8). It's not a MAJOR problem, but it's noticable and distracting at times.

In other news, I really like the twist and I'm excited to see how they'll play Jaune's story out, though now I'm dreading that coming mid-season break (which I've gotta say, dick move >.>;;). I also think Miles did a fantastic job... though again, direction could have been just a teensy bit better. Just sayin' :P
