There were neat concepts, but not so much execution. I will assume, the reader was a previous RWBY fan like I was upon reviewing this.
Story - 3/10
There were neat concepts, the idea that there are specialized Grimm Hunters is a neat idea, especially when there are specific functions to combat against them. And the idea of exploring one of the main character's innermost problems is a neat idea, Weiss has a lot to unpack and there could be a lot to explore in terms of her character and story since Weiss is one of the characters who has a lot to unwound from the very beginning.
Unfortunately the dreamscape relies on a lot on symbolism, which occasionally leads to very jarring moments, and to be honest, kind of narrows the audience to only people who have previously watched RWBY to possibly catch them.
Pyrrha for example, there's a scene where she sings Weiss's signature Mirror Mirror song. Which honestly, was... Why? Someone could argue it's because Weiss sees a fragment of herself in Pyrrha because they have the loneliness of fame and being on top and being known or whatnot. However the scene comes a bit out of left field and like, quite literally out of nowhere it's a little jarring with nothing to add. I mean it was nice.
The story is generally pretty straightforward. There's no plot twist or something to invest in besides already liking Weiss and ~friendship~. And quite frankly, Weiss starts off generally pretty unlikeable for the most part, especially for people who are introduced to her like this.
Art - 6/10
Pretty alright actually. The fight scenes are dynamic and fun, but you can definitely tell sometimes that the budget went to those and like super disappeared at the end. There's not much to look at outside of those though.
Voice acting (Dub) - 3/10
The voice acting is... Noticeably in need of help. Weiss and Blake are the biggest offenders, which is bad because Weiss is one of the characters if not the character to take up the most screen time in this show. Blake is fine, until the very end.
Characters - 4/10
Ruby is probably the most established and well invested in this besides Weiss, everyone else doesn't have enough time or spotlight for anything major to happen to be quite honest.
Overall it's... Alright. If not a little disappointing. Has neat concepts, but nothing outstanding outside of little bits of animation. Someone might like it out there.
