RWBY Volume 1 finale Discussion: SPOILERS

I doubt they'd pull the whole "The bad guy is related to the main character! SUPRISE!" Cliché

maybe it's just me, but I thought Cinder looked a lot like Ruby.

Just because they have similar color schemes doesn't mean they're related. Need we go over the whole Ruby/Adam thing again?

Also,

it's not the colour scheme I was looking at

I don't get why everybody's saying Penny's a robot. Sun's weapon was kinda to be expected, but I did enjoy the fight scene between Roman and Sun/Blake.

I can't say I'm disappointed but I can't say I'm satisfied either. This episode seemed more like a conclusion to a 2-episode arc (Which, surprisingly, has no JNPR in it) than a season finale, and even though it's meant to lead into season 2 from both how it was written and how it was animated, I still don't see how this could be called conclusive other than the credits that got the name of what everybody is calling their new favorite character wrong.

Some of the animation (Fight scenes) are top notch compared to the things the series has seen, other bits kind of stoop to the mediocre ground the series has covered.





Comparing our written fights to their animation, we're too stale.

Spoiler:

Also, Dat laserbeam.

Well, it's not meant to conclude or really lead into anything. It's not the end of the season, it's the end of the Volume 1 DVD, which is not an entire season. We don't know how many volumes to a season, but, think of this ep like this; When you get a whole season dvd set (multi-disk), the end of disk 1 isn't a conclusion and doesn't set up the second disk.

After the "She does like tuna a lot" line I imagined Kitty Blake curled up in a ball nomming on a fish. Blake is now the most adorable thing ever.

Also, Irelia!

Also, flashback sequence has an orchestral version of "From Shadows" playing. I want the OST ASAP.
