RWBY is not my cup of tea. I'd rather watch anime such as Katanagatari for example instead. I don't count RWBY as anime, I agree with Satoshi Kon(an amazing director that died far too soon, curse you pancreatic cancer)'s interpretation that anime is inherently Japanese in origin and that American anime-style animation merely mimics anime but doesn't completely capture the essence of anime beyond the anime inspired design it uses. Though anime is a catch-all term for animation in Japan, in the English context it is more appropriate that it refer to animation that originates from Japan. That's just my opinion on the matter. But that doesn't mean they are all necessarily inferior to anime (I only watched a couple of minutes of RWBY and I'd still say it's better than the likes of Mars of Destruction). Avatar:TLA for example was my favourite cartoon when I was younger and it was western in origin but it was influenced by Japanese animation and Chinese culture.
