RWBY Volume 3

[Matrix Dragon]

I dunno. I've had time to think about it, and I've been discussing it on chat and on several other sites all morning. It's a good volume. The writing, the animation, the acting, it's all improved. Especially the acting, my god. Keep in mind a large portion of the cast are still semi-amateurs at best. But Barb and Lindsay especially, knocked it out of the park, especially with todays episode. I preferred Volume 2 over 3, but it's a matter of personal taste, if I'm honest. The real problem is that Volume 3 is the end of Season 1, essentially, and the second half of the volume was intended, all along, to have everything kick off. Bad things happen, very bad, and while the heroes more or less rise to the challenge, the end of the volume is intended to be bittersweet at best, along with everything changing. There's no going back to the way things were, and I'm sad about that, and concerned that whatever they've got planned for next volume. But at the same time... with what they've shown me before, and what we had this volume, I'm willing to give them a chance.
