I understand the confusion, I don't think anyone else uses that term for it.

[Dr.Fumbles]

Well, I am used to arcs in Anime being whole seasons like it is in Fairy Tale. Only 4 episodes is like a mini-story while an arc is the overall story.

[Liamv2]

It's always worked with sort of small arcs between 4 to 2 episodes . Welcome to beacon 1-4 initiation 5-8 leadership 9-10 Jaune bullying 11-14 faunus Blake 15-16 and 1-4 investigation 5-? the dance. At the longest the dance thing will be 4 episodes.

[Dr.Fumbles]

Hmm. They have a messed up naming system for their stuff.

[Liamv2]

It wouldn't be an anime if it wasn't confusing as **** to get into. 

[Dr.Fumbles]

So true.

An arc is a consistent story. An overARChing line along which a series progresses. A season (or to go with the printed media terminology that RWBY is using for some reason: volume) can be one big arc, or several smaller arcs.

As much as I'd like too, watching tonight's episode from deepest Scotland is non possible.

Meaning I'll get you lot's reviews prior for once.

So feel free to temper my expectations. No need to be as generous as you were with the last ep.

[Dr.Fumbles]

Well, isn't it technically one big arc since each episode adds a little to the story?

[Liamv2]

Well I guess you could say all the little arcs add to a few big ones like the faunus/white fang and the atlas conspiracy.

[Dr.Fumbles]

Maybe. When I look at it, I see it as a Giant puzzle being put together. You can't call 5 pieces of that puzzle it's own puzzle. That's my take at least.

Let me rephrase my wording:

 

For as long as the story progresses along a clearly definable, consistent story, it's one arc. Like say a literal work that goes over more than one book. You have individual chapters in a book, each of which progress the story. All of them are feeding into the subjected story part that this one book covers. The book itself feeds into the overall story of the entire literal work, but it has a definitive start and end (first and last chapter of the book respectively).

 

 

 

It is hard to explain because it's really just a different term for the same concept across a multitude of media.

Much better. I look at definitions and wording from a technical standpoint, so I can tear it part and see what it's really about.

 

Example. A button says do not push, so instead of pushing it with my physical hand, I place another object underneath it. Then I push it. The wording should always be more clear.

[Fidite Nemini]

it's hard to explain since it's such a malleable subject. Arc, chapter, episode, all those are interchangeable terms that apply to a subject whose own dimension are solely defined by how the creator chooses to. Any of those terms can be as accurate or inaccurate depending on how any piece of work is set up, how the stories of each work interlink, or if they interlink at all as opposed to one flowing narration like say in "A Song of Ice and Fire" where chapters aren't a progression, but merely another perception of the same in-universe continuation.

[Dr.Fumbles]

I understand. I just find it weird.

[Fidite Nemini]

[...] weird.

 

I suppose I could have just summarized everything with that word. Ah, hindsight is something hilarious.

[Dr.Fumbles]

Yes umm

[Colaman172]

As one of the Thread Elders, I can't give up when the going gets tough, I will muscle through whatever I dislike for this show and wait for the RWBY parts that I love to show.

Teach me your ways, oh wise one!

Still waiting for interesting side characters to kick some ass...

[TheClonesLegacy]

Teach me your ways, oh wise one!

Sure my boy.

Let the Elder of Yang tell you something.

...

uh

....

...If you see chewed up gum anywhere, don't put it in your mouth.

[Fidite Nemini]

But, but ... why???????

[Gravisanimi]

Okay, it may be because I'm comparing it to the previous 2 episodes, but my god this is what I got into RWBY, with a good mix of actual high schoolish drama that actually works.

[Fidite Nemini]

Don't tell me.

 

 

Is it a ballroom blitz?

 

 

Don't tell me.

 

 

Is it?

[Dr.Fumbles]

I want to go

 

I want to goooo

[Gravisanimi]

Don't tell me.

Let's just say Cinder gets a new outfit, and isn't a dress.

 

She gets a new dress too, but that isn't as cool.

[Dr.Fumbles]

I like Cinder's fighting style.
