From a peek at a pair of conniving villains and the backstory of a legendary Huntress to the inspiring progress of Team RWBY and company's journey, "The Grimm Reaper" is yet another laudable chapter that Rooster Teeth has brought to RWBY: Volume 6.

My 2 Cents on RWBY: Volume 6 – Episode 6, “Alone in the Woods”
Enthralling action, heartfelt nuggets of nuanced characterization, and a newfound Grimm species qualify "Alone in the Woods" as one of my favorite RWBY: Volume 6 episodes thus far.
My 2 Cents on RWBY: Volume 6 – Episode 5, “The Coming Storm”
Overall this is a step up from the easygoing tempo of "So That's How It Is," although it still doesn't achieve the trademark pace of action that I have come to expect from Rooster Teeth's fantasy anime web series.
My 2 Cents on RWBY: Volume 6 – Episode 4, “So That’s How It Is”
Rather than progressing RWBY: Volume 6 through another significant point in its journey, "So That's How It Is" feels more like three mild scenes straggling along the road to the next episode.
My 2 Cents on RWBY: Volume 6 – Episode 3, “The Lost Fable”
I firmly believe that a story can either shine or collapse on the integrity and empathic quality of the antagonist's backstory. "The Lost Fable" succeeds in this field by presenting a rounded perspective on Salem's downward spiral from a freedom-loving young woman to an immortal entity with a pure desire for destruction.
My 2 Cents on RWBY: Volume 6 – Episode 2, “Uncovered”
I put out a theory that Rooster Teeth most likely wouldn't bring Cinder Fall back from the dead in my review for "Argus Limited," the first episode of RWBY: Volume 6. Well, that just proves how even the best of us end up eating our words.
My 2 Cents on RWBY: Volume 6 – Episode 1, “Argus Limited”
A snowy forest fades into view. The animation is the best I've seen in a while, beautiful and crisp. The opening titles introduce you to RWBY by Rooster Teeth. And then, just like you're hoping for, it cuts up to the mountain slope where Team RWBY, Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Lie Ren, Qrow Branwen, and Oscar Pine are battling the Creatures of Grimm atop a train that's about to speed into a tunnel.
My 2 Cents on RWBY: Volume 5
So many things click together in RWBY: Volume 5, starting with the broad range of storylines and ending with the characters' interpersonal relationships, that it regains some of the energy that was missing from Volume 4.
My 2 Cents on RWBY: Volume 4
Developing the story and opening up the world of Remnant continues to take top priority in RWBY: Volume 4, even as decidedly dark undertones replace much of the lighthearted humor for which the series has become recognized.
My 2 Cents on RWBY: Volume 3
At this point in the Rooster Teeth web series RWBY: Volume 3 is the most intense volume, still exuding the same humor and sincerity with which we've become familiar but also stringing more darkness through the storyline until it builds up to the heartbreaking climax.
