''fatmanfalling style satire. Not meant as a personal attack.''

Hello everybody!

Well, I wonder exactly how CRDL is skilled enough to qualify for the doubles round, since every time we see them, they get beat up for our non-romantic fanservice by stronger opponents.

And how does Ciel know about Ruby? Does she stalk everyone for their personal info? If that's the case, she'd be perfect for the NSA and its Big Brother program.

And then we have the big fight. Of course, it would be a lot easier if Flynt said, one of the heiresses. Technically, Winter would have inherited the company, but she decided to play soldier instead. But it still stands that at least one of them would take over the SDC, so it's a poor choice of words.

This leads me to another big question. If Neon, a Faunus, is able to compete and go to Atlas Academy without showing any signs of being openly discriminated, then how large is the racism surrounding Faunus to the point the WF need to ally with Cinder and her goons? I mean, if it's just a few bullies and a few corporations by this point, then an anti-racism campaign and the free market should be able to overcome this. Seriously, there should be companies rival to the SDC scheming to exclusively hire Faunus and try to treat them well for good PR.

In the fight itself, I've noticed something. There appears to be little strategy used, at least from Team RWBY. Seriously, we could just have Weiss freeze Neon altogether, and Yang pummel Flynt from the get go. And we could have Weiss perform friendly fire on Yang to power up her Semblance and end it quickly.

Now I could argue about the other fights, but that's for another day.

Also, don't you just hate it when the plot pacing is slowed down to a crawl? Roughly 60 percent of the episode is dedicated to the fight. Love the soundtrack though.

That being said, nice use of foreshadowing and visual exposition when showing Penny's blueprints and Pyrrha as the bait and switch guardian.

And this leads to another bunch of questions and errors.

First, the fuzzy anti-aliasing is real.

Second, what's with the smirk?

Third, "Maidens choose themselves?" Why not a professional Huntsman instead of a 17 year old? And I know it's "girl power" and all, but what happened to all the guys?

Thoughts?
