Story Synopsis
In RWBY, the world of Remnant is filled with horrific monsters bent on the destruction of humanity. Fortunately, the kingdoms of the world have risen to combat these forces by training powerful Huntsmen and Huntresses at academies around the planet. Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long are four such Huntresses in training.
It's so awesome that the series was the first of its kind to be taken in by Japanese publishers/producers! I'm proud of those guys for never giving up on their dream.
Yeah it's truly something indeed. It just goes to show you that if you truly want something, then work hard until it's yours.
