I look at it this way: if you're eating Chineese food, as long as it looks, smells, and tastes like Chineese food, does it matter if it's made in China? Obviously not. That's the way I look at RWBY. The fact that the Japanese leg of WB wants RWBY to be in their anime lineup speaks volumes as well. The Japanese don't care if it's made in America. Why? Because it looks and sounds exactly like an anime. If Japan calls it an anime, then I call it an anime. Also, the argument that animes are only in 2D is invalid. Ever heard of an (Japanese) anime known as Kights of Sidonia? Yeah, it's an anime, and guess what? It's made with 3D animation. So unless you want to disagree with the Japanese, and tell me that you only eat Chinese food made in China, then I'd say you have no reason not to call RWBY an anime.
