Sometimes you can and should suspend disbelief, and sometimes you need a slightly deranged-sounding YouTuber to say "...we sure about this, guys?"

Myself, I saw the video before ever seeing a second of RWBY, and I about cried from laughing so hard. I'd never cared enough about the show to seek it out, but since the new series released and some friends from work invited me to watch it with them, I've been giving it a shot. And you know what? I'm enjoying it! Sure, it may eventually go the way of the drain like the parody indicates, but that's the magic of going in with (mostly) no preconceptions: I don't care!

Yeah, if you're watching the original series, I suggest that you stop at the end of Volume 3, because if you think that it can get better than what that finale did, you're wrong –– I still think that it's a beautiful finale to this day, despite not caring for the series anymore.. well, maybe in the future I'll do some rewriting, but that's another topic.

I can't say much about the new series, since haven't watched it yet, but I've been meaning to. From what I can tell, it appears to be a step up from the original series. I have to actually devote time to it instead of sitting in my room and basically doing nothing lol.

Noted!

It sure is a step up in animation, at least.  I found it pretty compelling and easy to get into, though that may have been due in part to my already knowing the premise and having much more knowledgable fans with me.
