    Kimura has potential for greatness, but he's gonna need some motivation. Money is on Aoki giving him that motivation.

    I'm fine with Itagaki myself. He's a well-meaning 'genius' character with character flaws (bad loser, cockiness, etc) to overcome, and has his own sense of humor and identity issues.

    I kinda burnt myself out during the end stages of arc one. I feel your pain.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    Now we all no I rather like RWBY and think it has a lot more good points, than it's detractors would have one believe. The White Fang and Faunus related stuff is not one of those good points.

    The Faunus racism was one of the shows weakest elements, they really didn't do enough to show that aspect of the world, to the point were it seemed almost non existent and the WF just came across as a group of poorly conceived and completely unthreatening mooks for RWBY to take down. The only time they ever felt threatening was when Adam would turn up to spite edglordy nonsense.

    This storyline would also make Blake more unlikeable with each passing volume, taking who was originally the most popular member of Team RWBY and causing her to more or less become the scrappy (although the worst of this aspect didn't start to sink in until Volume 4).

    On top of being the most poorly written plot it took up huge amounts of screen time and dragged on forever. Which brings me to the worst aspect of the WF. It's massive screen time would often drag down other (often better), storylines around it and hurt the show as a whole. It's mass amount of screentime caused much of the planned plot of Volume 2 to be pushed back to Volume 3, it taking forever to finish forced every other plotline in Volume 5 to have to stop and wait for it to finish, leading into the messy and rushed final arc of said volume.

    In my opinion there is nothing in RWBY that has had a more negative impact on the series than the White Fang.

    Tell me about it. This month only now has me actually doing more on writing.

    ...though last year really helped because I was part of a OC vs OC tournament with some pals of mine.

    it seems our boy chen zen isn't doing so good lately. jet is suffering from hyperthyroidism, a heart condition, spinal problems and leg issues that leave him hunched over if he stands for long periods of time.
