That was a level-up in terms of animation quality. I wonder if they're going to sustain that for the series.
Everyone's getting spanked but me.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Yeah, the quality is way above what we've seen previously.
On a story note, Ruby seems (understandably) a little unhinged by the events of the previous season. Her facial expressions during the battle were kind of scary at points.
ETA: She also seems to have seriously improved in the use of her Semblance.

If one wants to discuss current Japanese anime, would this be the right place? Anyone for squeeing over Yuri on Ice!!!?

I would certainly think this would be the place to discuss anime, though I'm sadly completely out of the loop these days.

I do not know Yuri on Ice. How would you describe it?

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
A sad little skating prince(ss) named Yuri loses a competition and returns to his hometown to drown his sorrows. A friend records him skating a routine that the champion had done, which then goes viral. The champion, Victor, is fascinated with skating prince(ss) and drops out of competition to coach Yuri. It is the most slashtastic thing on animated ice you could ever hope for.

First episode of RWBY Vol 4 is available to non-subscribers.
So the animation upgrade in that earlier short is indicative of the what series looks like now. Very nice.
Still don't understand why the bad guys are doing what they're doing.
