Jeez, there have been American animes before this, there probably wouldn't have been a debate if RWBY wasn't a web series. There's always been a debate like this since Avatar came out because the lines between "japanese anime" and "American Anime" are shrinking rapidly when anime companies were folding left and right. When American Cartoon companies adapted the anime style to fill in the gap - it only increases the confusion. I agree though. Frankly It's on Crunchyroll - that should tell you something about how much of an anime it's like.
