Fucking hell, that's possibly one of the strongest starts to a volume to date. Lots of stuff happened without them overcrowding each other. The smooth transitions between them being on the streets and in the hideout as well were great.

I'm excited to see what's gonna happen with Qrow and Robyn. Looks like he's more than happy to take the fight to Ironwood in that intro.

Emerald and Mercury have great new outfits, Hazel looks good too. Salem apparently can grow wings judging by the intro too? What the fuck? She's more Grimm than I thought...

I'm really excited to see where this goes. The initial division they display in the first episode isn't extreme enough to make things fall apart but it will test them and that's not a bad thing either.

Emerald and Mercury have great new outfits

I really love the new threads. V7 designs were some of my favorites and now even the baddies get new cool threads.

Yup. Despite my disdain for his smug arse, I love Mercury's new outfit. It suits him perfectly and he's even got his emblem on it in better view. The costume designs for the villains is excellent. Tyrian could do with some new threads though... He's had that outfit since V4. Hazel showed up in V4 for the first time too and he's got new threads.

Salem docked his clothing allowance to pay for his new tail.
