The animation is choppy, the dialogue is extremely hit and miss, the voice acting is merely okay, and the character design is... Well, the character design is fairly good, all told. The plot meanders like a motherfucker and the individual character arcs are all fairly poor barring like one or two exceptions.
By all rights, the show is a mess. I should hate it, or at least not like it enough to keep watching it. Being objective, it's not a very good show.
Yet, I like it. There's a certain spark of auteur in here that prevents me from disliking it. From the outset, it was clear that somebody, or a group of somebodies, had poured their heart and soul into this as a labour of love. It has too much soul for me to hate, but it's not good enough for me to recommend to anyone.
Like, it's perfectly acceptable to enjoy RWBY, it's just not okay to think it's good, because it's not.
