Here's a link to the wikis: Wiki and Wikipedia

And we cannot forget the link to RWBY's section of Fanfiction.net. I'd appreciate if everyone gave the show a try and write some fics so we can read them. :D

My favorite parts of this show are the fight scenes, the characters, the weapons (Guns! Guns everywhere!), the setting, the humor/drama and the music. The Grimms are also nice, so I've already added them to several of my fics as random dangerous encounters/threats to the protagonists.

The things I disliked are the short lengths of the episodes, the choppy animation for more mundane things and sometimes the voiceacting. However, all of those things are completely understandable and I was able to ignore them and enjoy of the finer parts of this show.

These are the characters that I liked. I've placed a spoiler as some appear quite late in the show:
Ruby, Blake, Adam, Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora, Ozpin and the teachers, Roman, Cinder and their minions, Velvet, Sun and Penny.

What do you think of RWBY? Where do you think this show will go one the hiatus is over? Do you have any fanfics or ideas of RWBY that you want to share? Or did you come across any funny/cool/interesting images? Feel free to post and share.

To be honest, I was kind of disappointed with the fight in episode 16. It's the Season Finale and yet it didn't come anywhere near the fight against Nevermore and Deathstalker in term of sheer awesomeness.

Also, man, FUCK Weiss. FUCK that little bitch. The more she open her trap, the more I want to stab in the throat with an icepick, that fucking entitled, whiny, bigoted little bitch.

Enjoying the show. JNPR is my main team though.

Nora and Lien are like the crazy twins of Minato and Yukari of Persona 3. And I just love the development of Pyrra and Jaune.

Well I have to admit the new OP is made of awesome. And the song isn't really annoying like the first one was.

Obvious evil guy is obvious, not too sure what the point of that Weiss pieta shot was, and please tell me they aren't going to have the same thing as the first season of Korra.

As Sun said it: "I love these guys".

That was both awesome and hilarious at the same time.

This episode was great. That food fight was without a doubt one of the best moments in the show.

Personally I think they tried a bit too hard with the board game thing.

And pls some Yang development. Get taht there are lots of characters in this, but pls some development for one of the main four.

Edit.

And why does Ren keep getting knocked around?

I think it's self depreciating humor since Ren is supposedly based on Monty himself.

Episode 3 is up.

I just want to give Penny a hug.

New outfits are cool.

Yeah, those outfits are spiffy. Penny's basically Pinocchio in the setting of the story and must struggle to deal with the fact that she isn't human like the rest.

I think Junior, along with his voice actor, the amazing bearded one of Achievement Hunter fame, will be making his debut in series proper soon.

Well they keep having Neptune around Weiss so I expect Weiss/Ruby shippers aren't going to like him. So far he's had a few good lines but not much character yet.

Ruby seemed to recognize General guy, he could be her father I suppose (yes I know he has a different last name but so does Yang and so far as I can tell, she's not adopted). Might be an uncle but that character role is already filled by Qrow.

This episode was pretty good and funny.
I love how Ruby is cockblocking Weiss and Neptune.
I don't think Ruby have any connection with General Ironwood beside that she knows who he is. She knew who Ozpin was without him introducing himself so it is possible that the general is also that well-known.
