RWBY is an American animated web-series created by the late and great Monty Oum (RIP) and RoosterTeeth. The first episode released on RT's website on July 18, 2013 before being released on RT's YouTube channel.
During the production of Volume 3, the show's creator (and voice actor for Lie Ren), Monty Oum, passed away after a medical allergic reaction. The crew (aka CRWBY) decided to continue the series in his honor.
After Volume 8, the show was moved to Crunchyroll for Volume 9. A year later, Warner Brothers shut down RoosterTeeth, so RoosterTeeth sold the RWBY IP to Viz Media who now owns it. A lot of the crew and voice actors are still working on the show today! They've been doing a lot of stuff lately, so here's to hoping there's a Volume 10 in the works!!
RWBY is set in the fictional world of Remnant—a world overrun by soulless monsters called Grimm. It is up to trained warriors called Huntsman to fight back against the Grimm in order to keep the people of Remnant safe.
The show follows a group of girls who are accepted into Beacon, one of the many Huntsman Academies. The girls make up Team RWBY, consisting of Ruby Rose (the leader), Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long. Not only are they training to be Huntresses, but they end up finding themselves in the middle of a war with them in the front-lines.

RWBY is one of my special interests. I've been watching it since the day it came out. It gets so much shit online, but I don't care! I love this show so much, and I love the characters. The fandom is........ eh. Like most fandoms. I just sort of, stay away. My focus is on the media and it alone.
This show has everything I love! Anime fights, cool characters, amazing designs, comedy, angst, and just an overall cool story. I will always sing this show's praises bc I'm easy to please and this show pleases me greatly.
I've even created my own OCs for the show and maybe kind of rewrote the world to be more Korean-esque so I could write my favorite K-Pop group into the universe but SHUT UP DON'T @ ME.
My literal favorite thing to do is to just sit down and think about what semblances and weapons my faves from other media I like would have.
