I'm going to go off on a rant about RWBY here.
I've only watched the first volume of RWBY, and put the 2nd volume on hold right now since I haven't been that interested in it.
I have no idea why it's so highly regarded.
Forgive me, I may have spoken blastphemy here, but I want to discuss this.
So, the trailers. Ruby's was the best imo, while the others were meh. Special mention to the voice acting in Yang's trailer; god awful.
1st episode was also meh. Awesome action scene, but the rest of the animation was like they only spend 10 minutes on it. Those cookies...
Moving on, I feel like the characters are cardboards personality wise. Again, I've only watched the first volume so far, but one season should be enough to develop your main cast. If anything, they focused the development on the wrong person, Jaune. I would've liked it if they developed Team RWBY first, then moved on to the supporting cast.
I suppose the reason this show, and shows like One Piece are popular would be for the action, which I can't fault you for. However, I would like something more, because it's an interesting premise.
Can't argue the music isn't amazing though. One of the best soundtracks I've heard so far.
Sorry for the wall of text. I want to know your thoughts, maybe you can convince me there's something more that I missed in Volume 1. Maybe you can even convince me to continue to watch Volume 2.
