RWBY Chibi

RWBY Chibi is an American animated comedy web series produced by Rooster Teeth Animation for Rooster Teeth. It is a spin-off of "RWBY", where each episode consists of several scenes where aspects of RWBY's characters are usually exaggerated for comic effect. The series was first announced as part of Rooster Teeth's 13th Anniversary celebration on April 1, 2016 and premiered May 7. In January 2017, Rooster Teeth confirmed the second season's premiere on May 13, 2017 on Rooster Teeth First and May 20, 2017 on YouTube. A third season premiered on January 27, 2018 on Rooster Teeth and February 3, 2018 on YouTube.
While the show has yet to be officially renewed for a full fourth season, a trailer released released on May 13, 2021 revealed that "RWBY Chibi" would continue via Rooster Teeth's upcoming animated anthology series "Neon Konbini", which is scheduled to premiere on May 27.
Development.
A spin-off series of the show, "RWBY Chibi", was announced by Gray Haddock in April 2016. "RWBY Chibi" can be described as a comedy series consisting of two to five segments per episode. Each episode has a run time of about three to seven minutes. The series uses both the "RWBY" characters and world, but is animated in a different art style. "RWBY Chibi" is not considered to be canon, with characters repeatedly breaking the fourth wall. The first season premiered on May 7, 2016, and consisted of 24 episodes, which were aired weekly at the usual "RWBY" release time on Saturdays. It concluded on October 15, 2016, just one week before the release of the "RWBY" Volume 4 premiere. A second season of "RWBY Chibi" premiered on Rooster Teeth's web site on May 13, 2017. The third season premiered on January 27, 2018.
The show was cancelled midway through Season 3 due to the show's production workload being too much for the company on top of additional projects being undertaken by the animation department at the time.
