Suddenly, little plotlines that stretch across multiple episodes and only lead to a tiny resolution are smaller road bumps on the larger journey. The film version of the show doesn’t include the intro or credits between each chapter, so each storyline runs smoothly into the next. Watching the show as a film presents the story as a more cohesive experience, especially in the earlier volumes. This is admittedly helpful for the writers when the story is brand-new and has the potential to go in many different directions, but after three volumes of wondering what the plot is going to be, the mystery gets old. This viewing experience, while digestible, moves the plot along extremely slowly.

Most of volume 1’s episodes clock in at around 6 minutes it isn’t until volume 4 that the average episode length grows to a more consistent 15–20 minutes, and most of volume 8’s episodes are the traditional 22-minute length for cartoons/anime. A lot about ‘RWBY’ has changed over the years, including episode length and focus. For one, the pacing of ‘RWBY’ has always been a strange experience, especially for those who have been fans from the beginning and watched the show as it came out weekly. Watching ‘RWBY’ as a series of eight feature-length films provides plenty of new viewpoints. And now that so much ‘RWBY’ content has been released (all eight volumes clocking in at around 24 hours total), there’s a way for fans to enjoy the story all over again but with a different experience: as films rather than episodes (a.k.a., ‘RWBY’ Complete). The characters in the series have come a long way since ‘RWBY’s premier in 2013, both in terms of animation quality and character development. As fans of ‘ RWBY’ await the release of volume 9 in 2022, now is the perfect time to go back and re-watch the web series, both as a refresher on the events that have taken place and to get a new experience from the story after knowing where it’s led so far.
