I want to like RWBY because I really like Rooster Teeth but man, it's tough.

I do quite enjoy the fight scenes because they are a hell of a spectacle, but the biggest issue to me is the clunky dialogue. The native English speaking characters talk in a way that sounds like an anime dub, which comes off as completely unnatural and it's really jarring. I can understand why, because it's these guys first shot at something like this and the main writing team is very young so they have a lot of time to improve, but it's tough to get past. I can't bemoan anyone who's into it because while it's not particularly deep it's fun at its core and has definitely found its crowd, so good on them for that.

I will say this though: I think Michael Jones' voice acting (Sun) comes off extremely naturally and I'm excited to see what he does in Fairy Tail. He's got a talent for it.

edit: My defense of it is probably based in a lil bit of bias, because like I said earlier, I'm a real big Rooster Teeth fan, but it's hard not to look at this show critically because it feels like it could be so much better.

I guess I need to be a sponsor to watch it now? I missed it. :(

Usually the podcast is live for sponsors but this one was free. Site was pretty bogged down, though.
