Man this series has gone a long way what started out as an ok experiment has evolved into a huge epic.
Volume 1: Heavily flawed but still enjoyable and the effort shows. Acting is a bit rough at first but actors slide into their roles. Animation is somewhat rough but goes to 11 for the fight scenes.Most of the characters are likeable though some do not get any depth... yet. The soundtrack is pretty good though but not Jeff Williams best. Writing is cliche and corny at points but still watchable even at its worst. Heck even though the big plot twist is predictable it's still pulled off well. an overall 7/10
Volume 2: Much more improved. Character dynamics are fleshed out better and writing has stepped up. Animation has been improved and characters who were previously shafted get development (Except for Renora... soon). The actors now fill a lot more accustomed to their roles and fit in like a glove. Soundtrack has gone from pretty good... TO AMAZING(Just check out die). The only big complaints are Penny's reveal being too obvious, the finale leaves something to be desired, and Blake takes up too much plot. An overall 7.5 out of 10.
Volume 3: This is the point when the series goes from good to great. Animation and fight choreography are AMAZING. The writing has improved even further and goes into dark places that make you feel what the characters are going through. Voicework is still solid and the music is still high quality (Divide is now the best thing Jeff Williams composed). The new additions to the cast are pretty good (Qrow is my new favorite character) with one exception (ADAM MUST BURN IN HELL!!!!!!!). My main complaints are the Cerberus syndrome while welcome happens too quickly. There is also a character death that felt a tad unnecessary but I liked how it was pulled off. There is also an event in the finale that wasn't quite executed right. There's also the fact that the villains are a bit too unbeatable... Not enough to be considered villain sues but that could be a problem eventually. Also Adam. F$&@ Adam. An overall 8/10
Volumes 1-3: Keep moving forward
