History YMMV / RWBY

* TaintedByThePreview: Many viewers were turned off by the (at best) mediocre voice acting in the ''Black'' and ''Yellow'' trailers.

** Ruby's PerkyGoth voice at the end of the ''Yellow'' trailer led to mixed reactions as well. The high-pitched, somewhat childish tone ''does'' fit her, admittedly, given her short height, youthful appearance and [[https://twitter.com/montyoum/status/305239829455724544/photo/1 apparent]] [[https://twitter.com/montyoum/status/285515674648977408/photo/1 cheerfulness]]. However, it doesn't mean people particularly ''like'' it either.
*** Part of the blame can probably be attributed to the fact that [[TrailersAlwaysLie the way she was presented in the ''Red'' trailer suggested otherwise]].

** The microphones need some work for the voice acting. It makes their voices sound a little too loud and echo-like (namely Adam, Melanie, Miltia).

** Yang's theme, "I Burn". While mostly remixes of the previous three, the new song/lyrics at the end sound great.
*** Implying the remixes aren't amazing.

** Yang's theme (no official name yet). While mostly remixes of the previous three, the new song/lyrics at the end sound great.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Melanie and Miltia (the former being a bit more popular between the two) are shaping up to be this. The twins already have a good amount of fan art , and quite a few fans hope that they have a reoccurring role in the actual series.

** The application of context may resolve this issue later, but some people are finding Yang to be a bit too much of a {{Jerkass}} based on the ''Yellow'' trailer.

* HateDumb: While some complaints about the ''Black'' trailer are justified, others are just ridiculous.
** There are fans who loathe it so much that they state the animation is inferior to the first two trailers. Needless to say, this is entirely baseless.

However, it doesn't mean people particularly ''like'' it either.

** The mediocre sound audio for some of the voice acting makes it pretty obvious that they're talking into microphones (namely Adam, Melanie, Miltia).

** The most contentious aspect of the series thus far would be the voice acting. The question is whether you're basing your complaints on the voice ''pitches'' or the voice ''acting''.

** If fans weren't complaining about Adam's voice actor, they were about his mediocre mic.

** The most contentious aspect of the series thus far would be the voice acting. Most of the complains focus more on the voice ''pitches'' as opposed to the voice ''acting'', though.

* BrokenBase: Months before the series officially begins, the ''Black'' trailer has already caused splits among the fan base.
** [[TrainJob The setting of the trailer.]] Not that they think it's ''bad''. Most of the complaints come from the fact that it runs contrary to the more medieval/fairy tale-esque atmosphere presented in the first two trailers.

** Ruby's voice at the end of the ''Yellow'' trailer led to mixed reactions as well, its PerkyGoth nature coming wholly out of left field.
