RWBY

In the world of Remnant, young people train at combat academies to become Huntsmen and Huntresses — humanity's protectors against the creatures of Grimm. Four students — Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long — form Team RWBY at Beacon Academy, where they discover that the threats facing their world run far deeper than the monsters outside the walls.
