At first I wasn't big on the idea of the writers making a Chibi edition of the show. I thought it was something to just target the younger audience that RWBY created a following under in order to give them something RWBY related that wasn't as dark as Volume 3 and likely later volumes. After a while of thinking though I realized that the Chibi series is actually something that was going to be necessary for the series going forward. The reason being is essentially the show will be in all likelihood be taking a darker approach going forward.

Sure there will always be the funny moments we can expect from Rooster Teeth but in essence Ruby and the remnants of Team Juniper are essentailly on a journey to avenge their friends. They're on a hunt for answers that will be found by comfronting the enemy. You'd like to think that (then students) of Beacon would simply want to see Cinder and her forces be locked behind bars but we all know that Cinder and especially the White Fang have no problem sacrificing personnel in order to be victorious, and because of this one our Protagonists is going to have to something they never trained for. Take a life.

What are your thoughts about this? Agree? Disagree?
