# RWBY RWBY is a web animated series produced by Rooster Teeth and created by animator Monty Oum, which premiered at the RTX convention in July 2013[3]. The show follows four color-coded teenage monster hunters at Beacon Academy in the fictional world of Remnant, and its free YouTube release model helped it grow one of the largest indie animation fandoms of the 2010s. ## Origin The first RWBY promotional trailer, retroactively called the 'Red' Trailer, went up on Rooster Teeth's YouTube channel on November 7th, 2012, showing a young girl later revealed as Ruby Rose slicing through wolf-like Grimm called Beowolves with her scythe-rifle[1]. Three more character trailers followed between February and June 2013, introducing Weiss Schnee[2], Blake Belladonna[4] and Yang Xiao Long fighting with their signature weapons[5]. The series itself premiered in front of a live audience at the RTX convention on July 5th, 2013, then went up on Rooster Teeth's website on July 18th, with YouTube uploads following a week behind each episode[3]. Monty Oum directed and choreographed the show until his death in 2015; Rooster Teeth kept producing volumes after him. - **Platform:** YouTube / Rooster Teeth website - **Creator:** Monty Oum - **Date:** 2013 ## Overview Each member of Team RWBY is named for the color she represents: Ruby Rose in red[1], Weiss Schnee in white[2], Blake Belladonna in black[4], and Yang Xiao Long in yellow[5]. The four attend Beacon Academy to train as Huntresses fighting the Grimm, monstrous creatures that plague the world of Remnant[3]. Rooster Teeth animated the show in a stylish 3D pipeline heavy on wire-frame action and weapon choreography, a look fans often compared to MMD-style anime pastiche. The fanbase, which calls itself the FNDM, produced a huge volume of fanart, fanfiction, cosplay and shipping discourse[6]. Later volumes shifted to a darker, more violent tone that split the audience, and long-running arguments about pacing, the small writers' room, and character deaths still fill fandom Tumblr blogs[6]. A common Urban Dictionary complaint is that the writing peaked at Volume 3 and slid downhill afterward[7]. ## How to Use Fans typically refer to the main cast collectively as Team RWBY (pronounced 'Ruby') and to the fandom itself as the FNDM. Character shorthand uses the color-name convention: Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang each carry a signature color palette and a distinct transforming weapon, which cosplayers and fan artists commonly use as the identifying visual cue. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is RWBY?
