User blog comment:Varzan Deodinm Beldinm/The "meh" factor of this show has finally gotten to me. ( please read, then judge.)/@comment-3146930-20131011043513

I also admit that it is not the best show in the world. I remember when I first joined and someone said that RWBY was better then all the Anime in the world combined. I remember saying that it wasn't and if I had one show to pick, it wouldn't be RWBY (maybe Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, or Clannad [both seasons]) and that RWBY couldn't even compare to one show, let alone all of them.

I agree with the things you listed above, as the show has kind of gone into a stand-still ever since the end of the Emerald Forest Arc, maybe the end of The Badge and the Burden, pt 2 if I'm being generous. However as an avid watcher of anime and anime-styled shows, I enjoy the show and the characters, I'm just glad people can see it isn't perfect and has problems. However we are still in the first volume so maybe they just haven't gotten their stride yet.
