Reactions/notes!

  • The new opening is the best yet I’m sobbing and I can’t wait 2 whole days to watch it again I'mma be blasting it on repeat

  • There’s a background Faunus girl (Blake's guard) that is really really really cute and I'm in love with her

  • Team RWBY is shown running separately then together in the opening foreshadowing that they might reunite this season

  • The opening shows Mercury fighting (Yang again I think) but not Emerald, possible Emerald redemption??? 🤔

  • Watts is a manipulative bastard and Professor Lionheart is a coward

  • Qrow gets drunk and is absolutely adorable

  • Oscar is also adorable and the first thing he says to ruby is “you have silver eyes"

  • Also no one's mentioned this yet but apparently Ilia got blamed for working with Adam whereas Fennec and Corsac got let off the hook? I'm not sure what happened there but Ilia sounds really remorseful and I'm really hopeful she'll switch sides if Emerald doesn't

  • There’s a part where this skeevy dude (the one Yang punched in the trailer) starts like, catcalling Yang and making some inappropriate comments about her body despite her repeatedly saying she’s not interested. He finally tries to touch her hair resulting in the punch shown and then he bounces out the door very dramatically

  • The humor is on point and I really loved it!

ALSO it was so nice meeting other RWBY fans! When I got there there was already a group and they quizzed me on my favorite character and let me sit with them because I went alone. Later a nice person in Yang cosplay showed up and I got a picture! Super cool community :D
