RWBY (pronounced "Ruby")[6] is an American anime-influenced 3D computer-animated web series created by Monty Oum for Rooster Teeth.[7][8] It is set in the fictional world of Remnant, where young people train to become warriors ("Huntsmen" and "Huntresses") to protect their world from monsters called Grimm. The name RWBY is derived from the four main protagonists' forenames: Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long, and their respective thematic colors (red, white, black and yellow).[9]

Following several promotional trailers, the first episode was screened at Rooster Teeth's convention, RTX, and premiered on their website on July 18, 2013. Subsequent episodes were released weekly, first to Rooster Teeth subscribers and then to YouTube a week later. Following Oum's death in 2015[10] during the production of the third season (stylized as volumes), there was an overall shift in the series production and release schedule. Despite the death of its creator, the remaining crew members confirmed their intention to continue the series.[11][12] Following the eighth volume, the series was moved to Crunchyroll.[13][14] Volume 9 premiered on Crunchyroll on February 18, 2023.

The first three volumes of RWBY earned acclaim, with praise going towards its animation and soundtrack; it became an instant viral hit after the airing of its pilot. The series has been dubbed in Japanese and broadcast by Tokyo MX, in partnership with Warner Bros. Japan,[15] and has spawned several spin-off media, such as the video games RWBY: Grimm Eclipse and RWBY: Arrowfell, the animated series RWBY Chibi and RWBY: Ice Queendom and the two-part direct-to-video film Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen.

Synopsis

Background

The story takes place in the fictional world of Remnant, composed of four kingdoms (Vale, Mistral, Atlas and Vacuo), that are invaded by malevolent monsters known as the "Creatures of Grimm".[16] Prior to the events of the series, the world was overseen by two opposing deities, the God of Light and the God of Darkness. Humanity was obliterated by the gods, due to the actions of Salem, a vengeful woman cursed with immortality for trying to manipulate them into reviving her beloved Ozma. Ozma was subsequently reincarnated by the Gods to guide a new human race toward harmony and after succeeding, summon the gods back for judgement using four relics, the Staff of Creation, the Sword of Destruction, the Crown of Choice and the Lamp of Knowledge, leading to an endless conflict between him and Salem. The discovery of the element, Dust, triggered a technological and industrial revolution for humanity.

The deity brothers themselves were born in the Ever After, a world that is the setting of the fairy tale The Girl Who Fell Through the World. They were created by the world's Great Tree to help it make the Ever After, with their first creations being the Curious Cat and the Jabberwalker, the brothers' differences and arguments forced the Tree to send them out of the Ever After, where they could create and experiment until they understand the true nature of balance, eventually leading to the creation of Remnant. The Curious Cat wished to leave the Ever After with Alyx, the main character of the story, and learn why their creators left, but she decided to stay behind and make up for the damage she had caused, breaking the Cat's heart and driving them to insanity who killed Alyx, with her brother Lewis returning to Remnant and telling the story as he wished it had happen.

In the present day, having formed a cabal to guard their world's secrets, one of Ozma's incarnations, Ozpin, establishes academies in the four kingdoms of Remnant to train Huntsmen and Huntresses against the Grimm, with each academy concealing one of the relics.

Plot

Team RWBY as they appear in Volume 9: Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Yang Xiao Long and Weiss Schnee.

The series focuses on four girls attending Beacon Academy in the kingdom of Vale: Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long. Together, they form Team RWBY ("ruby").[17][18] With their friends Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Pyrrha Nikos and Lie Ren forming their own team, JNPR ("juniper"). Ruby and Jaune become the leaders of their respective teams. Blake reveals herself as a cat Faunus (a human possessing animal traits) and former member of the White Fang organization. Cinder Fall, Roman Torchwick along with his assistant Neopolitan and the White Fang led by Adam Taurus, invade Beacon Academy. Roman is killed in the chaos. Yang loses her arm after seeing a conflict between Blake and Adam. Cinder becomes the Fall Maiden, and kills Ozpin and Pyrrha. Ruby defeats Cinder, forcing her and her minions to retreat.

Team RWBY is separated from each other with each being in different parts of the world. Ruby travels to Haven Academy in Mistral, with her uncle Qrow Branwen, Nora, Jaune and Ren. Weiss forcefully returns to Atlas by her abusive father Jacques, Blake returns to Menagerie to reconnect with her family and help the people fight back against the White Fang, and Yang resists post-traumatic stress disorder in Patch. Ruby and her friends later accompany Oscar Pine, Ozpin's current reincarnation. Weiss and Yang have Raven send them to Ruby and the others, and reunite with them. Cinder believes that Raven harbors the Spring Maiden (who is actually the Spring Maiden), and strikes a deal with her to open the vault containing the Relic of Knowledge. Jaune unlocks his boosting semblance, Ruby reconciles with her friends, and together overwhelm their enemies and obtain the relic. Jinn, the spirit within the Relic of Knowledge, reveals that Salem cannot be killed, causing a falling out between Ozpin and the heroes. They meet Maria Calavera, who helps Ruby control the power of her silver eyes. Ruby defeats Caroline Cordovin, while Blake and Yang kill Adam after he stubbornly disbanded the White Fang. After saving a city from a giant Grimm, Ruby and the others depart from Mistral, while Salem plans to seize the relics.

Ruby and her allies arrive in the occupied town of Mantle near Atlas, reunite with Penny Polendina, and are recruited by the Ace-Ops and their commander James Ironwood for their plan of informing the world about Salem. As Salem attacks and Penny becomes the Winter Maiden, Ironwood betrays the heroes and Mantle, deciding to save Atlas. Despite the overwhelming odds, the heroes warn Remnant about Salem, but Arthur Watts corrupts Penny with a virus. Team RWBY, with the guidance of Ozpin, obtains the Staff of Creation, and uses its spirit Ambrosius to turn Penny into a human and evacuate Atlas into Vacuo. However, Cinder intercepts them and mortally wounds Penny, who asks Jaune to kill her in order to transfer her Maiden powers to Weiss' sister Winter. Cinder betrays Neo and sends her, Jaune and Team RWBY into the void. After defeating Ironwood with her new powers, Winter joins the others in Vacuo. Cinder delivers both relics to Salem, leaving Ironwood and Watts to die in the falling kingdom. Team RWBY, Jaune and Neo end up in the Ever After, where they are forced to struggle with their feelings and burdens of their losses, especially Ruby and Jaune, who blame themselves for the fall of Atlas and Penny's death respectively. The heroes ultimately come to terms with their shortcomings, defeat and destroy the Curious Cat with Neo's help, who makes peace with Roman's death and stays behind, and return to Remnant where they witness the world mobilized against Salem in Vacuo.

Production

Development

"My vision for the show was to present a two-dimensional, toon-shaded look, but with all of the depth and complexity of a 3D-animated production. I wanted to be able to move the cameras and characters freely while still capturing the essence of the flat, line-drawn look of traditional anime."
—Monty Oum, the creator of RWBY, 2013[19]

RWBY had been a long-standing concept of Oum's for years before it began development. Towards the end of his work on the tenth season of Rooster Teeth's Red vs. Blue, he developed the color-coding approach to character names and design as a hook for the series.[17] During production on Red vs. Blue season 10, Oum asked series creator Burnie Burns if they could produce RWBY following the conclusion of that season. Burns, worried for the production schedule, told Oum "If you finish Season 10, then you can do whatever you want." Production on RWBY began as intended, with the first trailer being finished within two weeks and premiering after the credits of the Red vs. Blue season 10 finale on November 5, 2012.[20]

Oum designed the characters with assistance from artist Ein Lee, utilizing designs inspired by classic fairy tale characters.[17] Each character has an associated color, and it is the first letters of the main character's colors, red, white, black, and yellow, that give the series its name.[21] The series was originally written by Oum, along with fellow Rooster Teeth employees Miles Luna and Kerry Shawcross.[22] Oum was initially concerned about a story focusing on female characters being developed by a primarily male crew, but said they managed to do well developing the female characters.[20] Regarding the design, Oum wanted to "present a two-dimensional, toon-shaded look, but with all of the depth and complexity of a 3D-animated production". Volumes 1 to 3 were animated by the internal animation team of Rooster Teeth's studios in Austin using Smith Micro's Poser software, out of assets built on Autodesk Maya;[23][24] however, starting with Volume 4, the production switched to using Maya entirely alongside additional modelling and animation being outsourced to the Monterrey-based studio CGBot. The series' music is composed by Jeff Williams, who previously composed the soundtracks for Seasons 8–10 of Red vs. Blue, and features vocals by Williams' daughter, Casey Lee Williams.

Marketing

A series of four promotional trailers, one for each lead character, was released. They were primarily produced by Oum and assistant animator Shane Newville.[25] Each trailer begins by unveiling one of the four primary characters and then showing a detailed action sequence.[22] The "Red" trailer was shown after the credits for Red vs. Blue's season 10 finale in November 2012.[22][26] It was followed by the "White" trailer in February 2013.[27] The "Black" trailer was unveiled at a PAX East panel at the end of March and was the first to include voice-acted dialogue.[25] Following the premiere of the "Black" trailer, Oum noted with regret that the first two trailers were shorter and had less character development.[25] The "Yellow" trailer was shown at Rooster Teeth's A-Kon panel on June 1, 2013.[28] Music from the trailers was sold as digital downloads at several online retailers.[29]

On July 5, 2013, at the RWBY panel for their RTX 2013 event, Rooster Teeth premiered the first episode of RWBY,[30][31] and would post the episode to their website on July 18.[32]

Release

Following the premiere of RWBY in July 2013, Rooster Teeth released new episodes of the first season (stylized as volumes) weekly on their website, with access two hours early for their sponsors.[33] In August 2013, streaming website Crunchyroll announced it would simulcast RWBY.[34][35] The first volume ran for sixteen episodes and concluded on November 7, before being released on DVD and Blu-ray.[16][36]

The second volume was first screened at RTX on July 4, 2014, before its premiere on July 24.[37] The second volume consisted of twelve episodes, and concluded on October 30, before being released on DVD and Blu-ray. In February 2015, Rooster Teeth announced that both volumes of RWBY were released on Netflix.[38] The third volume premiered on October 24, 2015, along with an episode of the RWBY spinoff series World of Remnant.[39]

Starting with the fourth volume, Miles Luna and Kerry Shawcross were writing for the series.[40] The fourth volume premiered on October 22, 2016. In January 2017, a fifth season was announced to be in development,[41] and premiered on October 14, 2017. Following the conclusion of the fifth volume, Rooster Teeth First members would get episodes one week earlier than the general public for future releases.[42]

In September 2018, Rooster Teeth announced that the sixth volume would be released exclusively on the company's website, which later premiered on October 27, 2018. This decision was made after many episodes of RWBY on YouTube were demonetized.[43] The seventh volume premiered on November 2, 2019. On October 28, 2020, all episodes of RWBY, save the trailers, character shorts, and the pilot episode, were removed from YouTube in an effort to promote Rooster Teeth's website and mobile, TV, and game console apps. Volume 8 premiered on November 7, 2020.

In January 2023, it was announced that the ninth volume would be released on Crunchyroll as part of a one-year exclusivity deal.[44] The ninth volume premiered on February 18, 2023.

International release

The Blu-ray and DVD releases in Australia were handled by Hanabee Entertainment.[45] The first volume was released in the UK by Animatsu Entertainment on May 4, 2015, on DVD.[46]

On August 15, 2014, Rooster Teeth announced that a Japanese dub was being developed by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Japan.[47] Warner Bros. has also acquired local merchandising rights as well.[48] The third volume was screened in select theaters on December 3, 2016.[49][50] The fourth volume was released in select theaters for a limited two-week run from October 7 to 20, 2017.[51] To promote the fourth volume, Volumes 1–3 were condensed into 12 episodes for broadcast on Tokyo MX and AbemaTV in July 2017 under the title RWBY 1–3: The Beginning.[15][52][53]

Music

Jeff Williams

The music for the first eight volumes of RWBY has been composed primarily by Jeff Williams, with additional composition by Steve Goldshein, Mason Lieberman, and Alex Abraham. Williams was a member of the band Trocadero, who did the music for Rooster Teeth's Red vs. Blue, and eventually composed by himself the music for the three seasons of Red vs. Blue that preceded RWBY. Most of the vocals are provided by Williams' daughter Casey Lee Williams, with some additional vocals by Lamar Hall and Sandy Casey.

The soundtrack features a variety of genres, most notably intense, fast-paced rock music. In an interview with Rooster Teeth, Williams mentioned that he uses his lyrics to foreshadow future events on occasion. In developing the songs, Williams uses the show's script and picks out random words and phrases that he thinks are cool. He would also get advanced knowledge as to the character's development, their background stories and lives. He then picks out the emotions related to the scene, adds tempo, drumbeats, rhythm, and eventually composes the song from there.

In December 2022, Williams announced his retirement from music composition, with his daughter Casey taking over as the lead composer for RWBY starting with Volume 9. She is joined by Martin Gonzales, her fellow Ok Goodnight band member.

Reception

Critical response

RWBY has received mostly positive reviews from critics ever since its debut. Commentators discussing the promotional trailers lauded the show's animation style and soundtrack. The trailers prompted enthusiastic anticipation for the series premiere.[22][25][27] When the first episode premiered at RTX, it was so popular with attendees that seating was full at all three screenings. Amanda Rush, writing for Crunchyroll, noted the anime and Western influences of the series, and praised it as "quick-witted, exciting, lovely to look at" saying fans of anime would enjoy it.[16] The Yakima Herald-Republic called it "thrilling" and "captivating" and praised its "beautiful" 3D character animation.[70] The Austin Chronicle described the premiere as making Oum the "rock star" of Rooster Teeth.[71] By mid-2013, the series had reportedly contributed to a 9% increase in views for Rooster Teeth's official YouTube channel.[72] Kotaku's Richard Eisenbeis praised the series for its clever use of fairytale elements, fun and enjoyable dialogue, and the fighting choreography, but was critical about the short nature of the episodes, stating that, "The biggest drawback in doing a micro-series ... is that there is precious little time for good characterization". He was also critical of the technical issues of the animation, mentioning that the animation is good when the audience is unable to see the character's feet. He believes that RWBY is "a good first step into a world of possibilities."[73]

Rachel Sandell of Collider recommended watching each season as a feature-length film, and argued the pacing the series has "always been a strange experience". She also said the pacing of early seasons "seems strange" and argued that the series took a "long time" to solidify its plot, but stated that more recent episodes are "more consistent" in their structure, and said the series is "engrossing, charming, and fun".[74] Ruth Johnson of ComicsBeat argued that the series has expanded so much over its run since Season 1 that it can be "hard to keep track of all the storylines", but praised the voice acting, animation, and writers, and said that show is "consistently...growing stronger."[75] Eric Francisco of Inverse described the series as "beautiful" and "captivating".[76] Anime News Network reviewer Michael Basile reflected on the series eight volumes, concluding that the plot structure, writing, and pacing has changed since the beginning of the series, praising the writing of General Ironwood and the show's seventh volume, but criticizing the writing, "lack of creativity" in fight scenes, the show's tone, and called Volume 8 "nasty and mean-spirited". He also expressed the belief that the show's ninth volume would give the series a "directional reset" and said that he hoped the writing would improve.[77]

Associations with anime

"As huge fans of anime, we are honored that RWBY is the first American anime production to be exported to audiences in Japan."

—Rooster Teeth CEO Matt Hullum[78]

Lindsay Jones (Ruby Rose) said "We were worried about the reception we'd get, since we're a western company producing something normally related to Japan. Funnily enough, we showed our Japanese cohorts RWBY and they started arguing about whether it was anime or not! But seeing the reception from audiences is so surreal, and we never expected it."[79] A Movie Pilot blog listed the RWBY-as-anime topic among its "flame wars you don't want to be part of".[80] Anime News Network writers Paul Jensen and James Beckett wrote: "We don't have any formal reviews of RWBY here on ANN, but it is kind of cool to see an American production make it to the release encyclopedia."[81] Michael Mauer of The Cornell Daily Sun wrote that the issue was still being debated among the anime community,[82] while Sabrina Pyun of ComicsVerse wrote "The show is known for many things, from its dubious status as an anime to its unique 3D animation style."[83] However, mainstream news articles dated after Hullum's statement and previewing later seasons and the franchise have referred to RWBY as an American anime, including Variety,[84] Collider,[85] iDigitalTimes,[86] Entertainment Weekly,[87] Adweek,[88] and Deadline Hollywood.[89]
