It's an American attempt at amateur anime. Yes, it does get better. Every season is steadily and undoubtedly a little higher quality than the last. Don't try to take it too seriously because you won't have any fun with it.

Haven't seen it but I've spoken with many folks who have. Main quality for the first three seasons is the fights, and given that before the third season released the creative lead and one of the guys in charge of the fights died, and I know of at least one major animator on the project who left at around that time, maybe two, even that disappears come season 4. I've heard they've gotten better since season 4 but not worth watching the show for. Also I'm given to believe the writing is still atrocious 7 seasons later.


Tl;dr it's shit

I just think of Ruby Red and Sapphire versions of Pokémon when I see that title.

I wouldn't be able to tell you, I've tried watching it years ago but I don't understand what it's trying to be. Even the plot is something I haven't tried to understand. It looks okay, just not my type of show. Not even my 13-year-old cousin at the time was even slightly entertained by this series.

If you've got a copious amount of free time available to you, Hbomberguy on YouTube did a great video showing what this show is, what promise it had in the beginning, and how it's been mostly stinky garbage for the majority of its existence.

Good video. There's a lot of effort put into the visuals for something that's like 2 and a half hours long.

For as much shit I have given RWBY over the years for something that it isn’t, on a more through examination, it’s less of a failure, and more of a mix of tragedy, arrogance and identity crisis.


From what I’ve seen and heard, part of the reason why RWBY has been so divisive is because of the anime clichés it copies off in the first couple of seasons, only to throw curveballs whenever the story gets bogged down. Another is that story and characterization often takes a back seat to the fight spots, which wouldn’t be so bad if they were trying to be a straight up action series instead of a fairy-tale adventure series, and considering that the quality has been in a tailspin since Monty Oum died, that’s not a good sign.


Finally, When Oum died and a few of the key animators left, the cadaverous chimera of a cartoon began to collapse in reputation and quality, yet Rooster Teeth essentially put much of their eggs on the RWBY basket at the expense of others, that everything else became secondary at best in the hope that they can catch lightning in a bottle again. It’s no wonder why RT has turned into a punchline and will either absorbed into Cartoon Network or be dissolved entirely.


Personally, I have always viewed RT as an overrated one-trick pony company that only held up because they were an indie studio with a good reputation. Now since neither of them are true, RWBY has been buttfucked in a comatose state where all of its flaws have been magnified and about the only thing that can salvage it to have Volume 8 be the end of the series. It should be telling that fanfic writers and R34 artists have treated RWBY a lot better than Miles and Kerry have in the last 5 years, and by proxy, Rooster Teeth as a whole.


Just stop worrying, and love the bomb.

People love writing fanfiction on this setting for some unknown reason.

Also no, it gets crazier. Wear a blast-proof armorsuit.
