User blog comment:Darkcloud1111/Have We Built The Show Up Too Much/@comment-10380701-20140511010839

A little hype won't hurt. Helps to bring people in.

However, too much hype tends to lead to high expectations. And high expectations tend to end up with terrible backlash. (Case in point, the 5th character of USF4, Decapre)

Some fans tend to like the show so much that they're pretty much gushing with love over it. For these guys, no matter how downhill the show goes, they're still sticking with it.

I have some small faith in RWBY, that even though it won't match the expectation we set for it, it'll at least be something worth watching when I'm bored. That, and speculating is pretty much my thing for it.
