So, the Halloween episode is here, ready to kick off the rest of October.

Still really not a fan of the Nora is a yandere that’s in love with Ren to an unhealthy degree trope, and it’s been popping up a lot in RWBY Chibi this season. It would honestly be a lot better if they stuck to playing up her ditziness as a joke, or using the fact that Ren and Nora usually come together as a pair, instead of making her crazed in love.

The best is likely the title skit, which shows Ruby cheerfully exploiting everyone because she’s the birthday girl. Instead of it continuing, the girls decide to give her a moral comeuppance, and she ends up being paraded around in a trashcan for the rest of the evening.

Overall, an okay episode, but nothing special.

Worst Short: Devotion Potion
