The future-fantasy world of Remnant is filled with ravenous monsters, treacherous terrain, and more villains than you can shake a sniper-scythe at. Fortunately, Beacon Academy is training Huntsmen and Huntresses to battle the evils of the world, and Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang are ready for their first day of class.

About the show

RWBY (pronounced "Ruby") is an American 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 ("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).

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 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. Following the eighth volume, the series was moved to Crunchyroll. Volume 9 premiered on Crunchyroll on February 18, 2023. In March 2024, with the announcement of Rooster Teeth's shutdown, plans were made to sell the IP rights to RWBY, among other Rooster Teeth properties. On July 5, 2024, Viz Media was announced to have acquired the RWBY IP. A tenth volume of the series is in production.

RWBY received positive reviews from critics. The series has been dubbed in Japanese and broadcast by Tokyo MX in Japan, in partnership with Warner Bros. Japan, 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.
