RWBY

RWBY is an American anime-style web series and media franchise created by Monty Oum for Rooster Teeth.

Plot
Four high school-aged girls —Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long— who attend Beacon Academy, where they learn to fight the Grimm —monsters that threaten their world— using magical technology based on a mysterious substance called Dust.

Fandom
As with most Rooster Teeth productions, RWBY has a large following for a web series, with over 2 million hits for the first episode on YouTube alone. On September 24, 2012, a Facebook fan page was created in anticipation of the show, with its first posts appearing on November 7. The page has since gained over 335,000 likes. Also in November, the /r/RWBY subreddit launched, attracting more than 41,000 subscribers as of December 2016.
