It's not made in Japan, so I don't consider it an anime. Some people do, but I disagree. It's the same with Avatar for me.

^^I only consider hoạt hình made in Nhật Bản anime. Because the Japanese consider all hoạt hình anime, to me it makes sense to differentiate between legitimate "anime" that the Japanese create and western cartoons, regardless of similarity. I don't believe all hoạt hình are anime, unlike the Japanese, and I need to draw the line somewhere. I choose to draw that line based on the TV show's country of origin instead of the art style. That's all.

How technical do bạn want to be?

Strictly speaking, an anime is a cartoon that was made in Japan. bởi that definition, RWBY would not be an anime.

However, I am going to argue that this definition is a bad one and needs to be revised.

Think about it this way. In the realm of video games, there are RPGs, and JRPGs, standing for Role Playing Game, and Japanese Role Playing game. Back in the day, these were two distinct groups with their own styles of play, story elements, and brands associated with them. However, almost no one uses these terms anymore. Japanese companies are now putting out RPGs that play like western RPGs, while European and American companies are putting out RPGs that play like a JRPG. Because of this, the term JRPG is almost never used, and we use terms like turn based, story driven, et cetra to differentiate between the two styles of play.
(video below for thêm info)

There will be a point where anime and hoạt hình will go the same way. Artistically and stylistically, most animes are thêm adult themed, but not all. Most western hoạt hình are thêm for younger audiences, but not all.
RWBY is a US produced cartoon, but it is nothing like thêm mainstream US produced cartoons, like Micky Mouse, hoặc Spongebob. Stylistically, RWBY is an anime, but technically, it isn't.
I am going to assert the same with hoạt hình as this guy below asserts for RPGs, that anime should no longer be defined bởi nation of origin, but bởi style.

Well...as much as I like RWBY, I consider it thêm of a "YouTube animated Series" rather than an "Anime" (even though they are "technically" the same in that regard...)

However, it's totally subjective! bạn can call it an anime hoặc vice versa. It's up to you, I guess.
