Well, yes, it's true that Volume 5 had a lot more Ilia than Volume 4 did. I just want to see more of her because I think she's an interesting character. I also want to see more of many other characters too, like Team SSSN, for example. Sadly, since Sun apparently didn't think that his team's help was required in protecting their own school, I kinda doubt they will join the main characters on their journey to Atlas either. It would still be nice to see them again as long as the cast is in Mistral, though.





You're right, RWBY is still a web series and consistent run times might still be undoable for one reason or another. It's just that I feel like most of the cliffhangers in Volume 5 could have been avoided if the episodes had focused on only one group of characters at a time and I always thought that every episode could have been only a bit longer. Not only that, but since some of those cliffhangers ended up having rather disappointing payoffs, I can't help but wonder what was their point in the first place. A lot of stuff also happened off-screen - we saw Ruby training with Oscar only once, even though Ozpin promised to train all of RNJR, and Qrow presumably wasted weeks looking for Huntsmen, even though it seemed to take him only a day, since RNJR were cooking dinner for a group of people they were expecting Qrow to bring home. Weird.





But yeah. Like you, I'm glad the episode lengths have only increased over the years, and I know the CRWBY keep trying to improve. Never stop moving forward.
