    Ugh, it's sad that YWS doesn't have a very big RWBY fanbase, since I want to see other people's thoughts on Volume 7. I'm enjoying the newly released OST a ton, but more than half the time when I'm listening to it, it causes me to dwell on how incompetent many of the characters were and how royally Team RWBY (Ruby especially) screwed up.

    I stopped watching about halfway through Volume 4. It just felt like they took the series in such a different direction from how it was originally going, and I really didn't like the thematic tone. Which is sad, because I really like the RWBYverse. Maybe I'll pick it up again, I've been thinking about it recently.

    Oh, it absolutely took a different turn. RWBY was an energetic story about teenagers learning to hunt monsters, containing lots of silly humour and epic battles where Rule of Cool was king. I'm invested in some of the characters and the gorgeous soundtrack (it's the only aspect with consistency in its quality, haha, though there are certainly still ups and downs), which is why I've continued following it. I'm... also a diehard optimist, so it's difficult for me to give up on some things.

    But yeah, CRWBY has decided to go for a high fantasy-ish story that turned the scope from stopping bad guys while attending class to saving the world from an immortal evil. Volume 4 is slow and Volume 5 is just bad, but Volume 6 improved in a lot of ways, and so did Volume 7, though the conclusion is assinine. I'm still holding out hope that Volume 8 might improve enough to warrant a sincere recommendation to continue watching, but I shan't fault anyone for deciding to drop the show.

    PS: Pandering to the shippers without properly developing relationships and actually showing us their pivotal moments, as well as blatant contradictions or inconsistencies in both plot and character depictions are two main reasons why I would drop the show myself.
