For Every Life

Picking up immediately where Volume 7 left off, RWBY Volume 8 promises non-stop action, even in the times when it slows to let the story catch back up with itself. A story which takes place across only two days but manages to do so much with the time allotted, and also being the RWBY Volume with the longest runtime thus far. The continued downward spiral of Ironwood on one side, and the arrival of Salem on the other, brings the greatest internal conflict the heroes have faced up until this point with disagreements on how best to save not only Atlas and Mantle, and the rest of Remnant as Salem's tirade continues.

Best volume yet

A three way war between the queen of all evil, a terrified military general overthrowing a democratic government, and everyone else caught in the middle. Several major plotlines from previous volumes reach boiling point here, character backstories are revealed, relationships grow in believable ways... Great fun, and the best animation the show has had yet.

The Tensions Boil over, and it changes everything

The tensions that were boiling over last volume have finally blown over the top. The Nation of Atlas is stuck between a three-way war. Ironwood and his military, Salem and her forces, and Team RWBY and friends.

Everyone's thoughts and feelings on how to proceed forward are just as divided causing our heroes to make some tough choices.

This volume was massive in both scale and what it wanted to accomplish. And for all of that, I think it managed these goals rather well. The chaos and stress the characters were in and under was very evident from even the start. Couple that with hard-hitting reveals and powerful moments and surprises and it was a fantastic volume. Only thing it could have done differently is let a couple of moments breathe a little longer, but, other than that, another great volume!

An ambitious sucess

Seeins some weird review bombing for this one, so writing a quick review :

Volume 8 is the most ambitious RWBY has been since it start. And while it stumbles there and there because of lack of time, for the most part it suceed brillantly at what it wanted to do since Volume 7.

Warmly recommend it.

Trivia
Ironwood's plan was never feasible to begin with. Dust loses its ability to function at extremely high attitudes. Which means the shield to keep the atmosphere would cease function along every other device on Atlas.

Plus it would disconnect from the Schnee dust mine supply tubes; which supplies all the Dust TO Atlas.
