Is RWBY Volume 4 Worth The Watch?
It indeed is. Well, RWBY Volume 4 may not be the best season of the show, but it sure is an entertaining one. A lot of things have changed since the last installment, including the tone. This time, all four of the main characters had their separate journeys, hence stories. Weiss’s story was one of the strongest amongst the rest, and it was interesting to watch Ruby and Blake take the turns that they did. However, Yang’s storyline felt relatively weak as compared to the others, considering that she arguably suffered the most. The animation style and quality are still top-notch, given that it’s still produced by Rooster Teeth.
The installment introduced several new characters, out of which not many lived up to the expectations. However, some of these new characters are memorable and spice up the overall mood of the volume. On the other hand, viewers complained that the initial tone of the has changed. RWBY started off as a fun and simplistic show, but now it has become much darker than any of us expected. Well, that’s how the story is now, and even though it has changed, it’s still worth the watch. Overall, RWBY Volume 4 had its fair share of great moments that set up an exciting premise for the upcoming volume.
