RvB gets better as it goes, plot wise. The first season was literally just a bunch of 'assholes in a box canyon.' The further into the series you get, the more they actually try to have an over arching plot, and it's pretty well done. There are a few things that don't add up, but a lot of them were recently addressed in the Season 14's anthology season, which connect some dots and rewrote some of the earlier stuff before the plot existed to make sense.
RWBY's pretty hit or miss. It's not bad if you look at it as a prominently 'live action' company's first animated show, but it's far from well polished, and the plot seems to be all over the place, partly due to the fact that Monty, the creator, didn't really have a whole lot of 'plot' and just had a bunch of dots and had the two head writers, which weren't the most well versed in anime (and frankly have mediocre taste at best), connect them as best they could. There are several instances where Monty animated scenes and forced them into the show last minute despite ruining what little narrative the writing team had going. With Monty's death in Feb 2015, the writing is more... stable, and the last season, which went into production a month after his death, is head and shoulders above the first two in all facets, save the fight scenes, which was the biggest and greatest thing Monty brought to the table.
Gonna have to echo the AH sentiment of Madara.
I respect FH as the industry vets they are, but it just seems like Burnie doing his LA pals a favor after they got laid off. I just don't see the appeal of not-Kovic. Adam is alright.
Also don't really care about any of the "Let's Play" 'family' members that aren't Greg Miller. He was great in the Gauntlet.
Never even heard of Cow Chop, The Creatures or the other one before they started showing up in AH videos.
Glad FH is about the only one that's in more than one a month.
