I was impressed. To my eye they worked out a lot of the kinks we saw in the trailers. They're keeping the humor alive and the story has me interested. I look forward to more episodes! What do you think of it?

EDIT: They are also continuing to make some great music.

Full length of the ending credits song:

I quite enjoyed that.

Lets hope it's a good indication of things to come.

AH finally!

I can happily say that the things that irked me about the voice acting did not make themselves apparent in the episode Very much more anime in style than the trailers were (and I like that). Enjoy Ruby's personality. A little air headed but of the enjoyable kind. Not too much of a good thing if you will. Looking forward to more of this. And yes. The music is epic (bought the song btw, cause the guy who made it deserves some financial rewards ).

Only real complaint: Bee's knees? Really?

As an aside: Why the heck wasn't Glinda in any of the previews XD Way more impressed with her than White or Black.

Just watched it, happy they fixed most of the issues I had with it (voice acting mainly )

They're going to bring bee's knees back. Just wait

I'll try to keep the thread updated, As far as I know Thursday is the update day for it. So hopefully new episode then. (Heard this from youtube so take it with a salt shaker)

Also having Jen Taylor do the opening was classy. Surprised the heck outta me when I heard her.

I didn't even recognize her voice XD Needed someone else to point it out to me.

Don't feel bad, I had to do a quadruple take to make sure I wasn't hearing things!

I knew about that because she was at the RWBY panel at RTX.

What's funny is that, apparently, the voice acting done for the first episode was done before the trailers!

Well, they fixed something.

And yeah, Junior in the yellow trailer was supposed to be voiced by Gavin, but Monty decided that his particular voice would be better suited to a different character, so instead Jack got his balls fondled.

It was ok.

I greatly enjoyed that. More plzkthxbai

Good call. I'm not sure I would be able to take a villain seriously if he were voiced by Gavin.

Wot if... he was... and his weapon would be a grapesword...

I liked it, well except for some silly flaws in the animation.

Did anybody found Monty's RWBYsaurus in the first episode?

THe animation is pretty good for something without big bucks behind it made by a small studio. If RvB is any indication the quality will improve with time as they flush it out. Right now my main issue with the animation is its choppiness and the stiffness of the models. The most recent seasons of RvB though have been gradually improving on that front and I doubt RWBY will be different.

Not a bad second Episode, Less action but some better character development.

White turned out a lot more stuck up then I had her imagined from the trailer.

Yeah. I was expecting I wouldn't like White too much XD That prediction was right

John Arc is funny. In a pathetic dude sort of way XD

I was actually expecting her to be one of my favorites! Judging from trailers. I ended up liking Black more, whos trailer I liked the least. Odd.

Personally, I am waiting for a few more episodes to be released before I make an informed opinion. For some reason I cannot seem to trust roosterteeth will make this a good show.

This may be because I found their previous work hard to find enjoy or laugh at the jokes.

While she seems stuck up now, i have no doubt that White will come good once the battles get underway. They'll do something to unite the four of them in some cheesy fashion.

It's kinda sad but i can already relate to John. He's a bumbling idiot, i'm a bumbling idiot. I can see myself liking him a lot in the near future.

Well come on, that shield is AWESOME.

It's certainly handy. Sure it's heavy, but at least it doesn't get in the way.

If I were him, I'd upgrade that sword with a disintegration field.

The fact that you have to build your own weapons is an interesting bit of lore. I wonder if they'll introduce a character with duel hand guns (firing dust powered bullets, naturally), since that seems to be a common thing in anime (Alucard, Revy, Brandon Heat, etc.)

The only thing that really bothers me so far is that all the lead actresses same a bit the same. Ruby sounds a bit like the heiress to me imo.

To be fair, we don't know if the Sword does anything; he just stated the shield Sheath was collapsible.

If his great? Grandfather used it during the Great War, it's obviously serviceable

Against the monsters back then. The current ones might have learned to avoid the pointy bit

All pointy bits are created equal..... unless those pointy bits add +3 to str and dex or have lighning aspect... then they are better ... liking RWBY so far

I bet the sword and shield are 100% Chekovs' guns. They'll become some sort of Vorpal/Ultima/Plot important weapon by the end of the series, if I know my anime tropes as well as I think I do.

I actually think the opposite, Array; his sword/board is going to be the only "non-special" weapon in the series, HE'S just going to become the ultimate badass.

I could see him becoming Badass Normal

I'm not sure he qualifies for "Bad Ass Normal", as his shield is still a "Powered" weapon, it's just not anything particularily special. If you know what I mean.

I guess with all the insane stuff Ruby and her compatriots pulled in the trailers, I already consider them super human. John by comparison seems fairly weak, but I guess we'll get to see
