@Jovian

While it's too early to say for certain I think they've done a decent job with balancing the angst and the humour so far. There's a sad moment in Episode 2, but it doesn't seem too unbelievable or over the top. Personally I appreciate that neither Ruby nor Jaune is collapsed in a heap over what happened with Pyrrha. They're sad, but at least so far, functional.

They've also had, at the minimum, six months to cope. Yes, you never really get over a friend's death, but they've had time to get past the "unstoppable angst" part.

Plus, they've also got a mission to do. Can't be angsting over it while lives are at stake

[up][up][up]It's not, but the benefit of tag team is lost.

[up]They angst in their sleep...and at random dead bodies apparently.

[up][up]In some shows, the six months wouldn't matter and they'd still be a disaster.

Jaune's is actually showing a typical grieving/coping behavior.

people keep a recording or sleep with a picture of the departed

[up][up]I assume the trail hasn't had them face many on the verge of death, I don't think their reaction should've been so drastic otherwise.

Ren and Nora also seem to recognize the tracks/marks/what-have-you of whoever hit the town, which could add some additional punch.

I also think that there's a difference between finding someone dead, and finding someone alive but being unable to help. That's going to hit you hard no matter what.

I'd note that contrary to what some people say, it doesn't always get easier to deal with that sort of thing. Case in point—I saw Romeo Dallaire speak yesterday, and he said that even living in the midst of a genocide, he never became inured to the horror. It still hit him like a hammer every time. So even if Jaune, Ruby, et al, have encountered a dying man before, it's still more than believable that they'd react as they did.

  • For far should King Taijiku eat the other half of itself to finish the job?
  • The seventh mystery of Schnee Mansion, a piano that plays itself when someone's sad.
  • Whitley Schnee, Age less/same/more as Weiss, likes grapes. It makes them look like an asshole.

  • "You're strong. Like Winter. Which means jack shit."
  • Little Whitley is going to Rollout all over you.
  • A portrait for a happy family.
  • Trippy.
  • Ruby, Age probably not legal, having Post Dramatic Silver Eye Disorders.
  • Jaune, Age times something of amount of sisters, really hates family vacations.
  • Nora, Age someone who would celebrate Unbirthdays, got the map from the last fast food restaurant.
  • "Bitch don't mock my ponytails! I mean, my hair is hardly long enough for any hairstyle, but still!"
  • Firework celebration gone wrong (Gone Sexual) (XXXX)
  • Ren, Age has to be on Nora's Unbirthdays, only now gave me a chance to do this.
  • "Brandits." "You mean bandits?" "I might be dying, but I know what I say."
  • Freaking Grimm, always ruin a good bloodshed.

  • Ironwood, Age hard to really grow as a cyborg, still under investigation about if his name is an innuendo.
  • Jacques, Age old enough, really wants to know about this guy who claims having a greater mustache than him.
  • "One for my human half, one for my robot half. They are actually bit racist int hat remark."
  • She always has a spot in there. They just need to kick someone else out.
  • "Daughter, what did I told you on contradicting my statements in the past?"
  • I would understand what Jacques is saying, but then again, I feel like he has forced a monopoly on things, so he is only one who is actually hurt by this.
  • "Now if they weren't idiots to built the communication systems as they did, I would send messages to other kingdoms about it."
  • "What's the difference?"
  • "I know that your family is snow themed, but can he not cheap out on heating?"
  • Klein, Age butler, might be Neo's father. Maybe.
  • Ruby, Age- wait, we already did this.

You know, hanging around here and the video games subforum reminded me how OTC is a completely different world from the rest of tvtropes. It's much cheerier around these parts.

Edit: But anyway, I wonder whether we're going to stay focused on Ruby and whoever is traveling with her from here on out, with a brief interlude here and there to elsewhere. Given the show's episode length, that's probably prudent, though unless team RWBY reunites within the span of the season (which seems somewhat unlikely to me if we remain focused on RWBY), it kind makes the show's title seem a bit outdated.

Something about Klein, given that Weiss is meant to be Snow White, he's probably just meant to be all seven dwarves in one (easier than making seven butlers with different names and designs), hence the changing eye colors and the multiple personalities.

Another comment: Thus far the show has done a good job treading the fine line between Wangst and Forgotten Fallen Friend.
