Synopsis:

In the fantastical world of Remnant, mankind is plagued by supernatural beings known as the Creatures of Grimm. All that stands between humanity and evil domination are defenders known as ‘Hunters’ or ‘Huntresses’, who use magical powers to protect the people of Remnant.

Among these defenders are four young girls – Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang – who band as the awesome team RWBY (pronounced ‘ruby’). Each using their own special ability and weapon, they train alongside other gangs to become super-powered Huntresses in the fight against darkness!

We like it because:

It was announced that the pioneering web-series team Rooster Teeth would be producing its own original anime-style show, ​RWBY ​was tipped as a must-see series.

And the show didn’t disappoint. With Rooster Teeth’s near- eight million YouTube subscribers it became an instant viral hit, showcasing the production team’s talent for crisp animation, snappy dialogue, and awesome action.

But what’s perhaps most impressive, is that despite being an American-produced animation – and technically not a true “anime” – it pays close attention to what makes its biggest inspirations so brilliant, such as ​Naruto​ and ​Fairy Tail​.

Following in the tradition of those series, ​RWBY ​perfectly captures the excitement and frenetic energy of Japanese animation in its own way – and the series has already won over the anime community with its unique execution and obvious love for the genre.

With 16 action-packed episodes in this complete collection, this is one adventure not to be missed!
