Its RWBY and anything connected to a corrupted company like Rooster Shit will always be garbage now.

Its a shame too, because to me RWBY went to shit midway through Vol. 3 and it just got worse and I REALLY hoped this would be different story and start a new canon.

But noooo, it just come across as a worthless filler arc between Vol 1 and 2. with Weiss doing a terrible cosplay of Esdeath.

Side Note: Pyrrha is my favorite RWBY Waifu, but I feel like Rooster Trash really hates her, after she died, they treated her as a after thought, in IQ, she's very beautiful in anime form, but treated as background character, especially in the Nightmare World.

Also WHY IN THE LOVE OF EFFING GOD you would bring Jaune with you to the Nightmare World instead of Pyrrha, especially how Weiss likes to project her thoughts on her.

IQ is done by a Japan and it’s practically their take on RWBY, while staying true to the main RWBY series. In my opinion IQ wasn’t that bad, it brought a lot of Nostalgia from Vol 1-3. IQ would have done better by being a complete Spinoff; it’s great that they kept true to a good amount of Monty’s writing (Vol 1-3), but you can tell that it started to take a bit Kerry’s and Mille’s writing (Vol 3-), which is pandering to a certain audience.

Roosterteeth is a terrible company, especially the way they treated the Ozpins/ Washington’s VA (practically treated like absolute trash, blacklisted from RTX, even though he’s a main VA). RWBY needs to either end or be given to someone else completely, including the writing, because they practically killed the series after Vol 3 and IQ probably suffered a bit because of that.

I liked IQ it was fresh take on it while keeping true to the story I liked how the new Grimm affected dreams to attack people and the huntress who sent them in to wiess's was a good character sp honestly I don't believe it was trash

Rooster Teeth sucks, but I put the failure of IQ on Shaft and Shaft alone

Im guessing there was no hype for RWBY and sense its so niche now, Shalf half assed it and wants to work on more important things, because they can do some really good Anime.

Exactly, also don't forget really stupid Woke politics in Vol. 7.

What's weird is that they don't do that much stuff, yet they also had the Strike Witches idol spinoff in the same season as Ice Queendom...

RWBY IQ is indeed garbage, Shaft can do a lot better than this, if they put more effort into it then this anime could have been pretty good but they indeed half-assed it and the result is a garbage anime, however, I do like the OG RWBY though, the story did get worse somewhat in Vol. 4 and up but at least the animation improved and the fight choreography is as good as always so it's still decent, I actually enjoy the OG RWBY a lot more than plenty of animes that I watched, this includes FMAB since FMAB is another garbage IMHO.

So yeah, this anime fucking sucks, Shaft half-assed it and the result is a shitty anime. The OG RWBY is way better IMHO.

It was half-assed indeed. They have put more work in Assault Lily, which has 100 times better animation than this. Then we have Magia Record, which again is well animated. Same goes for Bishounen Tanteidan. This indeed was a side project and a quick cash grab, and I'm sure they had done only 3 episodes when first PV aired. Even OP / ED was low effort / unfinished, infact the complete show was low effort. This sure had more budget than Luminous Witches, but worse management and timing (Luminous Witches was already delay a lot). Hopefully they won't pick more shows and focus on fixing their workflow, because they have talented inhouse artists like Nagata and Kawata, and it's sad to see them working in such management hell. There's no lack of good stories, but surely lack of good Directors in Shaft. Even Lidenfilms was able to make better Shaft-like show than Shaft itself because of a good direction (I'm talking about Yofukashi no Uta). Still I'm glad they are experimenting with different thorwaway shows and not ruining the flagship series they've worked on (Thanks for not picking Monogatari series, 3-gatsu no Lion). Magia Record, Assault Lily are under-rated shows though.

#IronwoodDidNothingWrong.

Yes, yes yes. This right here is so fucking based.
The way thru just set up Ironwood to be the bad guy of the Atlas arc made no fucking sense.
"Oh no, he's abandoning a bunch of people he can't save to save some other people"
What the hell? What did they want him to do?
And at the end of the day, team RWBY just fucked shit up even more.
That really pissed me off.

I quit watching RWBY after the Beacon was destroyed. And I agree, after Monty Oum died, the story of RWBY went straight to garbage. Even the fight choreography become basic.

Yeah, the fights always feel the same in later Vols and lacking zero impact.

Yeah, midway through Vol. 3 is when all hell broke lose with Penny dying.

Considering how bad RWBY became V5-onwards and how even V1-4 left a lot to be desired, I very much expected this anime to be terrible, and it was bad in most of the ways I expected. There was definitely some freshly baffling decisions tho, and the most annoying part is the very first 1 & 1/4 episodes and the final episode showed how this show could improve upon V1 and better develop Weiss between V1 and V2. The big arc of the show ended up being worthless filler that barely functions as a character study for Weiss, and doesn't even actually develop Weiss at all. Like the main series, the show hard wastes the side cast, which is maddening since this was the perfect time to do more with them and with the Beacon setting, but nope.

The show's visuals are also around as bad if not ultimately even worse than V1. Even with the decent number of good cuts, it still looks even flatter and more stilted than any volume of the main show, and the CG is so damn bad here.
