there's a cultural obligation on Remnant to dress as gaudy as possible, tho

So I just found out that Whitley's VA (Howard Wong) is friends with TeamFourStar and is man enough to play Kingdom Hearts II on Level 1 Critical Mode. It's going to be really hard for me to dislike Whitely now.

Also, ironically, Howard's favorite RWBY character is Weiss.

Playing some catch-up, and I like how the show acknowledges that Yang's Semblance has basically been "I win" button, Well, in a sense.

So this entire episode consisted of unnecessary flashbacks, throwing the shippers a bone, and wasting time on the farmboy. I am not impressed.

Oscar's at least important enough to justify getting focus, but yeah this volume is dragging with its Four Lines, All Waiting.

Hopefully it'll come off better when marathoned like Volume 1 did.

I was making comparison to the rest of the RWBY-verse in general. Yang might be fast compared to real life, but she's slow compared to many other RWBY characters.
So was I. Yang's only slightly slower than Pyrrha, who's still very fast, and according to you, a Lightning Bruiser.

[up]More than likely. It's why I'm waiting until the volume's over for me to just watch all of it at once.

[up][up]Oscar's not important enough to get focus. Not while he's off by himself. He needs to link up with one of the actual main cast members.

Seeing kid Ren and Nora was fine, but at this point in the season? I'm uninteresting in learning about them this way. I also care very little for Ocsar, but at least he has something going on.

The new Grimm is probably definitely based on the Nuckelavee

...At least we can't tell if the Grimm has no skin.

[up][up] The show has a plot? Or rather, the show has a central plot?

The show has several plotlines, of which several have arguable relevance in relation to one another. advancing any of them this episode would have been better. The closest to doing that was the Ocsar stuff, but it's not interesting to me yet.

So I was listening to some MMPR music and realized that "I'm the One" is basically a dark version of "Hope for the World".

[up][up] Honestly, I think this season just put the plot on the backburner to focus on the characters. YMMV on how good of a decision that was.

At this point, this is blatantly a set up season. Whether or not that was a good decision is a different matter, but the complaints seem weird when they're phrased in such away that makes it seem like they don't know what they're doing.

For season 1 it was okay, largely because it was the first time for everyone on the RWBY team and we needed to know the characters. By now I chalk it up to bad pacing and overestimation on how important it was to see how everyone got where they needed to be. Yang's the only one who's arc was acceptably paced and displayed relative to her situation.

Its pretty obvious at this point that were not getting to Mistral in this volume.

We're focusing most on the characters recovery from the last.Seems like a pretty good time to gave info on Ren and Nora

I'd post the usual stuff if I had more time, so, uh...

Motherfucking Nuckelavee Grimm. 10/10, would weep for Kuroyuri again. But yes, this season won't give us much plot other than establishing the footholds for it later.

Which, I suppose, makes some sense, since this is a whole new chapter of the story and the situation has changed radically (from Beacon to, well, not Beacon).

I just wanna see more M&M's and Cinder sweating profusely at more troubling questions Salem might ask her. >.>

Anyway, no comment on Ozpin's apparent personal connection to Hazel? I really did not expect him to be privy to any of Salem's inner circle.

RWBY's sluggish pacing has been an issue from the get go; though unlike volumes 1 through the first half of 3, it's clear that the plot is actually going somewhere, so despite the issues I'll still count volume 4 as an improvement.

it depend what we call devolpment, if you are taking how much it will take from point A to point B them yes is a wasted, now if we talk about what this episode reveal is pretty much one of the best: it devolpt Ren, one of the secondary chararter nobody thought much, he follow Ruby and Jaune, more about Oscar and Ozpin(and a little about Hazel) and show a new grim....

Actually, is this the grimm RT talk about before? the one is Monty favorite?
