Did you not even read what I wrote? Monty was something like employee #10, and he showed up 4 years ago. They were extrmely niche for most of their existence, with a tiny staff and limited capabilities.

RWBY is the widest target audience they've ever gone after. They weren't very good, at least in the areas people complain about, for at least the first 5 seasons of RvB for sure. They really only came into their stride during the Freelancer saga, reaching peak quality leading right into the front of RWBY.

However, making an anime-styled series, even a CGI one is completely different than a machinima. There's bound to be a learning curve. You complain about clipping errors, but all indications are that those will be fixed this volume. Just as I said, they have improved a weakness.

The writing... well, I can't make you like something I guess. They clearly weren't trying to truly hide Blake's secret. If they'd really wanted a twist, we'd never have seen it coming, the last RvB episode should speak for that. Further, based on the sheer amount of Weiss debating and Blake hating that goes on here, I'd say they've done a pretty damn good job of making us care about characters.

If you can't tell what's going on or why people do things, then I can't help you.

Lastly, is a soundtrack not part of a series? I'd say it is pretty disrespectful to Jeff to try to say he doesn't have a role to play. Lots of people saw the most recent RvB twist coming. It's called foreshadowing.
