RWBY: Volume 2 (2014)
A bit better than Volume 1
A good follow from Volume 1 events. This is were RWBY starts getting a little darker, but without losing the funny atmosphere that distinguishes RWBY. The better animation allows even smoother fight scenes. It's creative, funny, and characters from Vol 1 are starting to develop. Just as its predecessor, it has some clichés. It's not perfect in narrative terms. With all that said, 7/10.
RWBY: Volume 1 (2013)
Nice
There is really nothing much to speak of when we talk about RWBY Volume 1. It's funny. It has good characters; a great world-building, and the action is smooth and creative. Its soundtrack, specially the score and the trailer themes, it's pretty nice. However, the animation can make it rough to watch. It suffers of some clichés, too. But anyway, watch this without expecting a masterpiece. Funny, cute, likable characters.
RWBY: Volume 3 (2016)
Best RWBY Volume as far
RWBY Volume 3 was better than Volume 1 and 2, and of course better than Volume 4 (as I write this, Volume 5 hasn't been released yet) Characters are forced to take choices. They are making sacrifices. They are developing. In this volume we get to know better our villains, and they're awesome. Not only good villains, they're charismatic and well developed. Every character here has flaws. Every characters face problems, *even Ozpin*. Imagine it's an 8.5/10.
RWBY: Volume 4 (2017)
Just an argumentative bridge between Vol 3 & 5
First of all, sorry my lame English; it's not my native language, but I try my best. OK, RWBY Vol 4 has problems. RWBY, since its start, has been becoming darker and darker. Volume 1 was simple, but funny. Volume 2 was a bit more serious in its story; but its atmosphere was still similar to Volume 1. In Volume 3, in my point of view the best RWBY Volume up to now, was way darker, the tension was at its high; the end was amazing. Volume 4 tried to make something like that, but it's too bland and has too much fails to be more than an argumentative bridge. Volume 3 left so many questions and things undone. Volume 4 was going to solve that. Instead, it opened more questions. The story Volume 4 tells could have been told in six or seven chapters. But there are twelve chapters. That makes the story line boring at times.
*Spoilers start here* The Nora and Ren's past doesn't fit with the characters and it lacks impact. Qrow should have been died. I don't say it because I hate Qrow, in the contrary, he is one of my favorite RWBY characters. But I waited like three chapters since he was poisoned; I was waiting for his death. It would have mean a lot to the story: we saw how superior the new villains were. Just expert huntsmen, like Qrow, could fight them with a chance to win. The death of Qrow would have mean that RNJR was alone. Alone versus the villains. Oh, yeah, I have to talk about the villains. The new villains aren't even nearly as good as RWBY Volume 1-3 antagonists. Tyrian, for example, is just the "psychopath villain that laughs" cliché. Salem is "ok" as a villain, but we don't know anything about her... or the other villains. But, the good points: >The animation is "better" than Vol 1-3 (I, personally, don't like that cheesy style, but it's well done.) >Qrow and Yang moments are interesting. Yang has a great character develop. >Most time I could tolerate Weiss, Oscar and Blake moments. >Soundtrack is still as good as always. So, 6/10. I write this at 26/08/17, when Volume 5 has not been released. If Volume 5 results a 7/10 or higher and you liked Vol 1- 3, watch this to follow RWBY story line. If Volume 5 results just another average volume, then I'll stop watching RWBY. That's all.
