Review:
The second RWBY anthology, featuring all stories about Weiss, the ice
queen of the team. While I haven't watched the anime, she seemed like
the character I might like the most, so I was curious.
This is a lot of one-shot stories featuring Weiss. A lot of them
focus on how alone she's been until now, some star her relationship
with Ruby and others focus more on her relationship with her older
sister Winter. There were a lot of odd artstyles, and I'll admit I
didn't love a lot of them, but they were okay. There were a couple of
really cute ones, though. Aside form Umiya's art, in the last story;
I really don't understand the appeal or what's happening in those
panel comics.
I can't help but wonder if a lot of these authors are mostly from
webcomics? The author names sound more web comic than real mangaka
names, but I might just be unfamiliar with them.
There were some cute stories, there were some meh stories. If you're
a RWBY fan, I'm sure you'll love it more than I did, though.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
