#But when Sun was like 'My friends are a bunch of hotties' and Yang was like 'Oh my. How exciting'

what did you think of ice queendom now that its over?
Overall, it was a pretty fun way to occupy myself while waiting for volume 9. There were some parts in the middle where it felt like it dragged a little, but it avoided playing into most of the anime trends I dislike the most (though I still think they did Blake dirty with her outfits), so I'm going to consider that a win.
My biases are always very transparent and I just. Loved it after Blake came up with her reckless gamble of a plan (I am always here with my "Blake has more of a claim to the title of the most reckless member of team RWBY than Yang" agenda) that relied on her trust in Yang being able to wake her up.
I also find it funny that Yang's loose arc in Ice Queendom was her learning to coddle Ruby a little less and meanwhile you have people (incorrectly) saying Yang's a bad sister in RWBY proper because she doesn't coddle Ruby enough. It was always an incredibly stupid claim, but it just becomes even more stupid when there's now an anime that explicitly says Yang coddling Ruby less because she trusts her as their leader is a good thing.
I don't know how enjoyable it is to people who aren't already familiar with RWBY and as invested in the characters as I am, but I hope they were able to accomplish their goal of introducing it to some people who might not have heard it otherwise.
