RWBY is action-packed and breathtaking as all animes do! I highly praise the series for the voice acting, characters, animation, songs, and its inspirations from fairytales and folklore. Honestly, this is one of Rooster Teeth's best achievements. These girls are badass due to their courage, strength, and friendship. Some of my favorite characters so far are Ruby, Blake, Salem, and Adam since their backstories do relate to their fairytale counterparts who they're based upon respectably.
I got the Volume 1-6 collection but still managed to watch Volume 7 and 8 on the Rooster Tooth website although there were ads. I do hope Volume 9 comes out next year. Sometimes I think of Salem as a female version of Sauron from The Lord of the Rings as she is also based on other villains. Ruby Rose is such a brave protagonist with Crescent Rose which is a piece of art but in Volume 9 she must learn hand-in-combat. I mean she's not always had her weapon in a fight.
I been reading crossover fan fiction like Bowser or Darth Vader or Simba get teleported to Remnant, Ruby in Peter Jackson’s Hobbit Trilogy, Team RWBY and JNPR are sent to Earth, and Nightmare Before Christmas featuring Jaune. But the most enjoyable I’ve read is “Ruby’s Dragon Protector” which is both another Hobbit crossover and a redemption arc for Smaug. After his death the Two Brothers resurrected and choose him as a guardian for Ruby to defend from Salem. Upon his arrival at Beacon, he kills the Wyvern Grimm preventing Cinder’s victory, Pyrrha’s death, and Ruby’s using her silver eyes for the first time.
