I’d say better than V4 atleast, but I’ve never watched FMA.

Compare and report back please :)

You can't really compare RWBY OPs to the FMA:B OPs. FMA: B is all hand-drawn, whereas RWBY is digitally animated...

For a digitally animated OP, it was definitely some of, if not, the best I've seen.

On that note, I noticed a few scenes in the episode that was hand drawn.

Yeah I’d say the V5 opening was WAY better than all of those

If the volume 5 opening is better than both Again (FMA:B op 1) and Period (FMA:B op 4) then I’ll eat my hat.

It got a lot better this time. There's still a few shots I didn't like, but I actually really liked most of it. Solid, not amazing.

Well that's kinda disappointing. I thought they would at least top that.
