So for about 80% of the scene I could see and hear that there was no portal darkening the room.

Meanwhile, Yang is fully unconscious for something like 90% of the scene; I'm pretty sure that's not how a POV shot works. While it is somewhat uncommon...I have actually seen "POV"(for lack of a better term) shots done like this before in anime, where a character is asleep/unconscious/on another plane/groggy, where the audience watches a scene the character cannot see, from a vantage that may be outside the body, yet the animators decide to apply a "filter" due the characters status... so it's stupid but not without precedent.

Mood lighting is an explanation I'd accept, if I could figure out what mood the lighting is trying to evoke. I mean, in The First Step it's obvious: to create a sense of Lurking Danger, but I don't know about Raven's scene. Then again, I'm no expert on mood lighting by any stretch of the imagination - maybe you guys have a better idea?

Ominous tension doesn't work for you? Neo practically shits her panties when she see's Raven, we have no idea what the character wants with Yang when she pulls her sword and teleports out like a boss.

where humans are not does not necessarily mean grimm are there... it just means humans for one reason or other do not or cannot live there True, but why can't the Grimm be some of those reasons? We already know the Grimm tend to be where humans aren't, and that they actively try to destroy attempts to expand outside the walls(Mountain Glenn, WOR: Kingdoms).

Maybe that's just me. I never said they weren't... I was merely stating that some locales outside the kingdoms without humans likely have little to no grimm activity... as grimm appear to be drawn to humans wastelands might not have as many.
