Whoever said that Jaune will be the strategist might be a tad on to something.

Meanwhile Roman continues to hoard his Magical Cocaine, or they terror-bomb Beacon.

OH MY GOD.
I think I know how and why Juane was accepted to Beacon Academy.

Also, seriously Weiss' abilities are awesome, sliding powers ftw.

I also loved this last episode. I also thought it was neat how they had another team formed before the RWBY and JNPR groups were announced. Puts faces to those black masses from the launch pad, instead of making it look like they were just fodder for a body count.

And Nora is friggen awesome.

AmI the only one who doesn't really like Nora? I mean, yes,her weapon is a grenate launcher-hammer, but her behavior before the big battle made me dislike her.
It was nce to see Jaune do something. He might not be a good fighter, but can atleast give command.

Episode 9: The Badge and The Burder
Spoiler:
Wait, when did Weiss get that scar? Peter Port (the teacher) looks familiar somehow. And how are you going to wield that axe-blunderbuss? Also, something tells me that one random student is going to be a running gag

Huh. I guess I forgot about that, even if the method isn't the usual way. And I guess this was the first time I really noticed she had one.

I wonder when Rooster Teeth will release those pictures used in the ending theme. I really want them for desktop backgrounds. Or have they already been released?

I don't think anime-style things have sudden drastic changes between
Waking up with a C-D cup bust
To bending over (ep 7) and having a flat as a board chest.

Sorry, but her behavior in the beginning was way worse than she usually behaves. Thankfully this episode might mark much nicer Weiss.

So there are multiple academies, huh? And the Aura can work as a health bar. And if Velvet becomes a subject for a lot of abuse, you might aswell call her Reisen the 3rd

Signal and Sanctum are schools for students younger than 17. I wouldn't expect students from there to compete with Beacon students in anything, Ruby's gradehopping notwithstanding.

Hmm. I still think these non-action episodes aren't really the best, especially when it comes to animation. This episode felt like if it was animated by someone doing a short in Garry's mod. Actually, I think the teacher's (non-)animation was the best. Seems like the creator can't really animate anything well just fight scenes. I mean, sure, animation is hard and takes a long time, but it just feels off when those scenes seemingly needing less animation are worse than those that would need better skill.

On the other hand, I do like that there seems to be some character fleshing out going on, but still, they seem to be very bland. I'm actually afraid of this show being cancelled (if there's such stuff on that site) before it can show off its true potential.

RAGE!!! That's it? Cardin's threat is telling people that Jaune faked his transcript? The school admins already think Jaune's transcripts are legit, evidenced by the fact that he's at the school. Cardin could have a voice recording of Jaune saying that he faked the transcripts, and the character witness of every buddy he can find and it still wouldn't be enough to have Jaune kicked out.

These characters are the age of High School Seniors. They should pretty much have the level of maturity of a real world adult. What I've seen in the last two episodes really lowered my excitement. These conflicts are trivial and these characters are juvenile, but god damn I'm gonna keep watching.

I dunno if I've ever heard 'high school seniors' and 'maturity of a real world adult' in the same sentence before like that Imosa. That's a pretty arbitrary designation.

I get the feeling Ozpin already knows, and made Jaune a team leader to put him in a position to improve how he needs to to live up to his patriarchal tradition of heroic hunters. That said, if that's 'all he ever wanted in life', why hasn't he taken combat training sooner? And if Phyrra noted that he has a tremendous amount of aura, shouldn't he be some kind of super?tank character? ...it's probably linked to confidence or something.

People act on a wide range of maturity levels. These characters don't need to be serious all the time, not even some of the time, but how Cardin gets away with his behavior is just baffling.

Maybe. I figured that they know the transcript is faked, but they admitted him because he underestimated his other qualities.
I think there's a class issue here. Jaune and his family don't have the money for a fancy weapon, combat school, maybe not even Beacon. Everyone else, with the exception of maybe Blake, seems to have pretty good financial backing.
Also yeah, aura is probably confidence dependent or something.
