@CrackerStraggot please rate and critique my hot take:
As someone who never cared about RWBY other than its
2D fanart, I think that the reason for their success was simply because they hit the jackpot by being released in the right place on the right time in the fateful year of 2013, as 2013 was when:
1. Weebshit culture was starting to get fully mainstream, it was no longer a thing that only 4chan neckbeards, neurodivergent school rejects, or Latinx folx were into
2. Anime memes were leaking onto the normie internet, as overall corporate "meme/geek culture" was also starting to get mainstream on social media
3. The Legend of Korra cute twinkry was fricking everywhere, and League of Legends was also another anime-esque medium that was reaching an enormous popularity among normie Westoids in that same year
4. Once-niche anime and hentai artists who were at first secluded to obscure DeviantArt and NewGrounds circles were also starting to receive mainstream attention on Twitter, Tumblr, and other social media sites that became massive in the early 2010s
RWBY had a weeb artstyle with a Western-centric writing and story structure, which was attractive and easily-digestible to the "hey, have you heard of these things called animΓ©?, its Japanese cartoons with big eyes like Dragon Ball! LOL!
" audience, plus it was a strictly online series released for free on YouTube, which contributed to its popularity, regardless of its quality being good or not, I think that its artstyle attracted normies to click on the videos, like how gen alpha children are attracted to Elsagate clickbait shit.
I doubt that RWBY would have gotten any popularity if it was released on TV, or if it was released in 2017 instead.

The best part is that a japanese studio picked up RWBY and animated it, making some of the animation look fricking amazing. It still couldnt fix the dogshit script though. I only saw the animated version and even then it was awful.

Japanese studios are notorious for cheap animation though lol, most anime isn't even made in Japan.

Its official artwork absolutely evokes some weird orientalist style that looks like anime but at the same time doesn't, almost like a hapacel blending of east and west, the game has a shitload of anime references, and IIRC, the majority of its playerbase has always been in China and South Korea, and furthermore, like 90% of all of its existing fanart is weebshit, period, so whenever normies search for League-related stuff and art online, they will be inundated with weebshit.
Additionally, in the late 2010s, Korea and China started to get very involved into the webtoon/manhwa/gacha stuff (I also blame the popularity of K-Pop and China trying to become Superpower 2020), and so as a result, anime and manga is slowly being amalgamated into a single East Asian blob, instead of just being something uniquely Japanese, manga and anime database sites also slowly started to accept Chinese and Korean titles to be added to them, when previously they were strictly allowing things made in Japan only, international co-production anime that was only partially animated in Japan, or an anime had Japanese directors and animators, but was not produced in the country of Japan itself were also prohibited from being shown on the databases.
For example: If no one told you beforehand, you probably would not even believe that games like Genshin Impact and Nikke are not Japanese!, there is constant sperging on 4chan boards like /v/ and /a/ about how the Goox and Chinx will save anime and weeb games (
), because modern Japanese media just wants to make more Western-inspired and "woke" shit to appeal to the Westoid market, while the Goox and Chinx are keeping the hentai waifu tradition alive or something lol. !gacha !anime

The Goox will save anime simply because the Gookz are the biggest anti-feminists on the planet and will sperg and financially ruin feminists for the tiniest slight.

As far as I can tell Jappas (in particular Capcom) have read this as making their men look like ultra ripped gigachads while either covering the heck up out of their women and making them look uncanncy valley or making shit like Lady Dimitrisu

Genuinely the fall of the Roman Empire for manga lovers. Within the span of like a year, every single manga site became and still is inundated with absolute dog shit Korean "I Became a Dark Fantasy Villain The Reborn Young Lord Is an Assassin" manhwa isekai trash.

The original trailers were also pretty fun. They alone generated a lot of the hype.

!anime ever heard of this abomination?
https://myanimelist.net/anime/38853/Ex-Arm
And to think that this disgusting abomination is actually a Crunchyroll original, like that Star Guardian Spice Steven Universe ripoff straight from 2013 Tumblr
Real Berserk 2016 vibes here, but the difference is that Ex-Arm is not a 30-year-old famous and beloved franchise that has countless content to compensate the shittiness of its 2016 schizopost
I sorta feel bad for the creator of Ex-Arm, I heard that the manga is pretty good, but the only "anime" (
) adaptation of your work turns out to be a shitshow of utterly shameful and crappy 3D animation that looks like it was made by an r-slured 12-year-old on Microsoft 3D Movie Maker back in 2006, and the only mentions of the story that you created will be on the "top worst anime of all time" lists, I really hope this nibba can redeem himself in his brutal manga artist career!
This 20-second-clip is filled with more passion and effort than the entire Ex-Arm abomination is:

Not an animestrag so I'm just going by the GIF/YT videos but my instant reaction was that it looks like mid-late 2000's point and click adventures. Handdrawn backgrounds with obviously out of place 3D characters that weren't animated that well, like this one
