Whoa, whoa, what did you say tamtn?

Think twice about what you said. They failed to give her depth (at least, "incredible" depth) to Weiss in those 2 episodes. Why? Because her character development in those 2 episodes happened OFF-SCREEN. They wasted a perfectly good moment with her.

Maybe if they had at least put a small scene where she thinks to herself and then decides to go help Blake despite being a Faunus, now that would have given her incredible depth. But they didn't. They completely wasted a perfectly good side-plot, by pretty much showing almost nothing about Weiss' side of the situation after the discussion, nor showing her character development.

And "lack of time and resources" does NOT work here, for a small scene that lasted about 30 seconds tops, where Weiss had to do nothing but think to herself, that would have taken less than 1 hour. They didn't even have to try to lip-synch with the voice, for all she had to do was think. So no, they did not give her an "incredible" depth with episodes 15 and 16.
