Overall, “RWBY: Volume Five” is an entertaining watch, but not a noteworthy one. In an effort to squeak in some more action into the final scene, the writers shot themselves in the foot. This decision both divided attention away from the main plot and failed to support it with tension or development. In an effort to tie the two threads together, the final action scene involves the events of the subplots that influenced the main plot in a weird, underdeveloped scene. When the subplot reaches its climax halfway through the volume, it drops off completely and leaves the main plot to run on its own. The inclusion of a subplot is far from harmful to the volume’s writing, but with it comes issues in the pacing. However, a subplot also runs alongside it, moving along at a faster pace until culminating into a midpoint climax. The main thread of “Volume Five works to its advantage, building off of character interactions and plot development up until a climatic action scene. Its characters are likeable and plot holes are nonexistent, but there remains a level of inconsistency that “Volume Five” has done in all its other categories. This inconsistency can be irritating for the viewer, but the show’s overall appearance does not suffer greatly from these lapses in quality.ĭespite its focus being on action and visuals, “RWBY” succeeds in writing an engaging story as well. In addition, the handling of large amounts of models are done poorly, with stiff movements and odd postures marking every shot they are included in. Character models can sometimes fit right in with their surroundings, only for the next scene to have them stand out like a sore thumb. However, there is an odd disarray of the quality put into the show’s backgrounds and props. Character models are executed well, with movements and expressions delivered amazingly. Despite that though, most of the action does its job and leave the viewers at the edges of their seats. The animation and direction holds well at times, but is prone to overusing special effects and jump cuts. However, “Volume Five’s” action does not fully capitalize on the appeal of this. “RWBY’s” models and props are all made with 3-D animation, and serves itself well to choreographed action. One cannot discuss “RWBY” without bringing up one of its biggest selling points – the action. Its original setting and story elements serve well in inviting the viewer into the world of Remnant, the world of “RWBY.” “RWBY” also handles its exposition well, even though it still runs into occasional issues with providing necessary information. There are some concepts that stretch the viewer’s suspension of disbelief, but are a net positive to “RWBY’s” appeal both in its story and its action. “RWBY’s” world has taken influence from both high fantasy and sci-fi elements, integrating them to a closer degree than shows of a similar premise. “Volume Five” takes place as the heroes arrive in a new kingdom, and must seek out a person of interest as dark forces conspire against them.įor those whose value the premise of a show, “RWBY” has them covered. Set in an original world, “RWBY” follows the stories of its four protagonists – Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang – as they journey and fight to save the world. 7, “Volume Five” ran for three months before concluding on Jan. “RWBY’s” fifth volume leaves its viewer wondering where the time went.
