Freezing is ****ing awful, RWBY is just kinda...badish, in season 1, but at least it tries.

He is and does! It's really dumb and it's weird to be defending the show by attacking it, and I imagine in his eyes it's weird that I'm attacking the show by defending it. If he'd ever seen an actual "fight porn" show like Killing Bites (which is awful don't watch it ever please I beg you) then he'd probably realize how stupid he is. RWBY season 1 is not terrible, it's just highly mediocre. It tries very hard and doesn't do it for me, but it did at least try.
Yep, Yang as yandere still tops the list as the most obviously wrong critique of the show I have ever seen in print.

I didn't think you ever thought of RWBY as bad as Freezing. The way things went, I shared a review that equated RWBY to basically another bishojo battle anime soft porn (minus panty shots). At the time I think your words was something to the effect of: no, RWBY is not Freezing.

Anyway, I get the feeling the twitter-guy is looking at RWBY from 4,000 feet and failing to distinguish it from a lot of stock anime. Praising the amateurishness about the first seasons of RWBY puts very low expectations on the material.

I say this as someone who misses Monty fight animation in particular and thinks he could have made really grand things, although I did feel he let things get lost in the middle of season 2.

Also Monty work with something simple like Poser allowed him to do great things by letting his ideas flow freely (without all those hiccups and extra work that a certain someone complained about after leaving the company mid-season 3). However, it was all done on a shoestring budget without the time and resources to have the work thoroughly reviewed and corrected before going up.

We can discuss how things have gone since Monty (I think its a mixed bag myself) but we've been over those points. The lack of finishing and glitches that appeared in the first two seasons was never a highlight, it just never bothered me. I'd just say it points to Monty's talent that he drew such a large following despite not being able to properly polish the work.
