We are halfway through RWBY Volume Nine already. Whilst the volume has been a little unbalanced with its tone and pacing, the deeper story at play has been very good, continuing onto into the fifth episode.

She is without her weapon, very much a crutch for her, and a defining part of her as a person. The previous episode tempted her with an option to remake herself, only to have the Curious Cat prevent it. Such o ..read more

Yet, the volume won’t get out of its own way to address them, often bouncing back to the comedy and characters finding their situation absurd. Team RWBY either can’t quite comprehend whether or not ..read more

The journey through the Ever After continues to be unpredictable, perilous, and a little misfocused. Team RWBY found one of Penny’s blades in the previous episode, surrendering it to the guards of the Red King as a birthday gift. The girls continue to question whether or not to follow Alyx’s path, with the increasingly jaded Ruby reluctant to play the role. They reach the Crimson Castle, where they are presented to the Red Prince, an obnoxious, bratty half-pint who manages to be comically threatening. Turns out that the king is presumably dead, with one guard openly blaming the girls for being ..read more
