Yaaaay, great 1st episode.

Season 4 Episode 1 spoilers

As expected, the visual upgrade was really nice.

I'm so glad they're out on a journey-style adventure now, it just opens the show up for so many more possibilities and it really helps us get a better view of what the world of Remnant is really like.

The evil council scene was a good idea I guess (I always like it when the villains get plenty of screen time to flesh out their behavior and motivations), but feel like they could have been a little more subtle about it. Speaking of subtlety, I feel like the cackling crazy villain guy really could've used some; he was just a bit... too in-your-face about it for my tastes. And HOOOOOLY crap I had no idea Ruby did that much of a number on Cinder. That is crazy, and I love it. Can't wait to see how she tries to exact her revenge.

The Golem-thing(Gheist?) fight was pretty fun; definitely showcased the new team well. The Ruby/Nora attack was cool.

So, was the extra material that Jaune had forged into his equipment Pyrra's circlet I guess? Interesting idea, I'm curious to see how that'll come into play later.

It was a good call to put the usual episode intro at the end of this first episode. I liked viewing the new character aesthetics as the came up in the episode rather that thrown at me all at once in a quick intro. That said, the intro looks/sounds great. I particularly like the first few seconds with the character-colored lights shooting out of the broken Beacon tower and flying towards their respective locations of the Remnant map. It's both cool, visually, and very informative about where they are now. I love that kind of thing. The music is nice, I guess it was appropriately themed on recovery after last years huge downfall-theme. And we all know how much they tend to deliver on their themes by the end of the season (looking at you, Yang!). Other than that, I'm really looking forward to seeing Blake's new crew; they looked fun.

I have to wonder when team RWBY will finally get back together, probably not until the very end of the season, or later. I'm not in a rush for that though. All 4 of them basically now have their own story going on and I hope that each and every one of them get fleshed out exactly as much as they should before re-uniting.

How long do I have to wait before I can watch it

S4 Ep3

Another great episode, imo. We finally get to see Blake and Yang, and how they're dealing with the fallout of the previous season. I don't think anyone wasn't expecting Yang to get a metal arm, but it's more surprising to see it happen so early. I *loved* the sea serpent grim, and the ship crew was great. (Especially that turbo-cute first mate ) The chemistry and interaction between Sun and Blake is hilarious. "My hero!" hahaha.

Also, why the fuck you lyin' Cinder? Ozpin is still alive. Interesting note that Salem has Grimm guarding/searching Beacon, presumably for Ozpin's body.

S4 Ep3

Pretty much agreed all around.
I was also glad to see it's length up there in the 18min area, I had originally figured that would just be a first/last/special episode type thing.
Loved the humor.
Captain Ram-it-and-shoot-it was great.
I loved how both Blake and Sun were able to propel themselves around with their respective clones. I've already been surprised a couple times at the clever new uses of the characters' existing abilities.
I was hoping to see the other two characters from Blake's crew (from the intro), but I guess we'll just have to be patient.
My only complaint is that the ships main cannon (that they definitely played up) could've been a better. Seemed like a pretty regular cannon, other than its position and aiming radius.

Ep3 and prior

Yeah, I'm hoping Yang and Blake's issues don't just go away when they get the resolve to fight again. I'd like to see those issues become permanent parts of their character that they struggle with and adapt to. Buuuuuuuuut I may be hoping for too much.

Definitely enjoying S4 so far. I'm of the opinion that S1-3 should probably have been condensed into a single season, honestly - maybe two at best, with S1 ending with that dance thing where Ruby and Cinder fought. It's a nice sharp tonal shift, but they dragged their feet with the pacing of those seasons to get to where the story really started: Pyrrha's death. Which, considering how invulnerable characters appeared until the end of S3, kind of felt out of place a bit.
