RWBY (pronounced "Ruby") is an American anime-influenced computer-animated web series created by Monty Oum for Rooster Teeth. It is set in the fictional world of Remnant, where young people train to become warriors (called "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 theme colors (red, white, black and yellow).
Following several promotional trailers, the first episode was screened at the Rooster Teeth convention event RTX and it was released on their website in July 2013. Subsequent episodes were released approximately weekly, first to Rooster Teeth's subscribers and then to YouTube a week later. Oum died in 2015, during production of the third season for the series. This resulted in a delay in the production, as well as 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. As of December 2022, the website has aired eight volumes. The first of Volume 9's ten chapters was released 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, and has spawned several spin-off media, such as the video games RWBY: Grimm Eclipse and RWBY: Arrowfell and the animated series RWBY Chibi in 2016 and RWBY: Ice Queendom in 2022.
