Just so you guys know, kid-friendly and kid-centric are two different things. I see people saying that RWBY is for kids but I'd have to disagree for I think that they are under the impression that the show would be JUST for kids. That's called kid-centric, not kid-friendly.

RWBY is a kid-friendly show because the series' initial appearance gives it that feel. It's something I consider as similar to shows before like Hey Arnold, Ed, Edd and Eddy, Adventure Time, Cow and Chicken and the like: funny, colorful and entertaining. Let's say that you're a kid and you came across RWBY. At first glance, it would definitely seem like a show you'd enjoy since there is a lot to love in it. But as you grow older and if you look back and rewatch it, there will be a TON of mature themes hidden in the writing that you might not have caught when you first watched it.

In other words, I'm saying that RWBY is a show that can be enjoyed by kids and adults. It's kid-friendly, but it's not kid-centric.

Besides, if RWBY was kid-centric, EVERYTHING will be played down. The monsters will be pathetic, the characters always singing and being complete idiots, all that stuff. Just look at Dora. THAT's a kid-centric show, and only a kid-centric show.
