Volume 4 episode 1 and 2
So we get to see more of the Team RWBY Post-Fall of Beacon. spoiler[Ruby is plagued with nightmares over the death of Pyrrha. Weiss deals with her father who seems to care more about profits of his company rather than the fact his nation's relationships with the other kingdoms have suffered since the Fall of Beacon. Blake has become paranoid and heads to her home to find some peace. And Yang is depressed and suffers from PTSD.] |

While not having the same excitement as last season, Volume 4 still ended with a good fight and good note.spoiler[ Ruby, Jaune, Nora, Ren and Qrow finally made it to Mistral which unknown to them the Principal there is working with Salem. At the same time, Yang and Weiss heads to Mistral while Blake prepares to take back the White Fang from Adam.]
Since Volume 5 will be out this Fall, i hope there will be more action for the new season. |

I found the OP very interesting...
I'm guessing it's Spring facing off against Cinder, and I feel I should recognize the guy manipulating Lionheart. |

Well I will be watching this via Crunchyroll to have it played naturally on my tv via my xbox, so a slight delay for me. But just watched the first episode of volume 5, and it does feel like there has been a bit of a visual improvement, and a choice like using 2d art for setting shots, like some general population. Hopefully this season will be more exciting, waiting for the gang to get back together. Also, totally shipping Ruby and Oscar that that.

I didn't like the new opening--not visually, anyway. It didn't flow well as a montage--and to be fair, the one for volume 4 was also a step down from that of volumes 2 and 3. The songs are also getting less and less memorable, in spite of being good on their own as songs.
A good episode otherwise. I like that they're getting longer--like, full-television-time-slot longer. Next one might well be shorter, but this one had the time needed to give us status updates on each of the four mains without being hopelessly rushed. There was no stand-out introductory action sequence this time around, but that's okay; I see it as a sign of maturity and convention-breaking in favour of the plot. At least we still got to see spoiler[Yang punching a guy clear in to next week]. Dialogue and delivery were a bit awkward in parts, though, and while I appreciate that they're trying to re-introduce some levity after the almost-wholly sombre experience of volume 4, attempts at humour feel just a little bit out-of-place for the over-all tone. Maybe it's just a matter of getting re-accustomed. A fairly solid start for the season. Quality-wise, it has some competition in The Ancient Magus' Bride and the forthcoming Violet Evergarden. I'm sure it'll hold its own one way or the other. And, I hope Ruby doesn't get with Oscar--or anybody, for that matter. I've always seen her as exceedingly aromantic, and concerned with simple, cutesy things like weapons and BFF's. If she does get with someone, it had better be Weiss. |

Volume 5 Ep 2 is now out.
spoiler[So we find out why Lionheart is working with Salem. Cinder can now speak and is heading to Raven's location to get the Spring Maiden. Weiss' airship gets attack by Grimm Hornets where she defeats them including summoning her Knight to kill the Queen Hornet. However, her ship gets damaged and crashes where she is later found by Raven and her tribe. And the leader of the White Fang, Sienna Khan, criticized Adam for his actions for the White Fang's involvement in the Fall of Beacon as it now makes humans hate Faunus even more and leads them to a war they cannot win. When she refuses to work with Salem, Adam launches a Coup D'e tat and kills Sienna to take over the White Fang much to Hazel's anger since he wanted her to join their group without bloodshed. Poor Sienna. She has a cool design.] |
