i think the top opens up too so you can see the inside

No, sadly it doesnt. Theres a lot of MOCs that have added that feature though

I'm OK with the plot. I love the action and humor

And Tifa should have won

Something with a plot relative to the setting of the series.

When I first saw the trailers I expected something like Devil May Cry - not the reboot or second game - you know, something with style and creative designs.

Like, it made this big deal about Huntsman and Grimm, and how the Grimm are like an incarnate species of fear and evil, and I thought they would be out in the field doing more fighting.

Instead we get some high school drama with not enough of the awesome fight scenes we saw. Hell, I watch the trailers still more than the actual episodes.

And honestly? The only reason RWBY is still afloat is because of the cosplay, fanfics, and yuri. Without the RoosterTeeth advertisement, I doubt it would have lasted this long. Hell, the fanfics are better than the actual plot sometimes.

Honestly? I'm more interested in what the villains are doing more the main characters are.

tl;dr: RWBY is not what it could have - should have - been.

I'm sure I've watched it all already twice by now and I totally see where you are coming from. I guess some people just like what rooster teeth is putting out and some don't. It's whatever.

i dont entirely hate it - the designs and fights are amazing. But the plot is subpar at best.

Congrats on [Your Opinion].
[Your Opinion] Is greatly valued and we will all look back at [Your Opinion] with fond memories.
We hope making [Your Opinion] was not too hard.
Kind regards, The Internet.

For me it's one of those guilty pleasures. The story isn't well written nor revolutionary, but it's just silly fun. There are some good jokes and the action scenes are really cool and the fact that the episodes are really short really help hiding the fact that the series is pretty shallow.

I mean, if it were 30 minutes episodes, yes, it would be bad, but it's pretty great for a 10-15 minutes series.

S1 and S2 were mostly just an excuse to do cool shit with crazy weapons.
S3, with the loss of monty, seems to realize they can't quite hold up with him in his speciality, but it has become much more ambitious. While fighting coordination has suffered greatly, conventional animation has improved by a landslide.

I agree, it's mostly crap, but it shows potential.

At this point i'm only into it for the story. Everything else is kind of "meh".

it was good enough for me before this season

evertything feels shit without monty now :/

I watch because the fights are usually pretty dope

I actually haven't watched any of the episodes that were released after Monty died, wasnt a "fan" to begin with but I kinda assumed the quality would drop rapidly after his death considering he was both the writer and the director.

Action animation kinda dropped down, but standard animation improved a lot.
Also, the show seems to actually get a plot going recently.

I'm honestly just in it for Cinder's little thing now. After that I'll probably be done with it.
