Okay, not to flame you or anything, but I have seen it so many times that I feel like I have to say something. It irritates me to no end to see RWBY compared to Soul Eater. Soul Eater was certainly not the first anime to focus on a special character where they go to a school. It was also not the first anime to feature a girl wielding a scythe. Also, comparing a game (The Last of Us) with an anime is kind of stretching it IMO.

RWBY isn't a game. I haven't seen or even played much of that game, mostly because I'm honestly not interested in it, don't own a ps3, and refuse to give in to the hype; but I highly doubt that the main character is completely normal. From just looking up a quick clip, he already just strangled someone (something). Strangling =/= normal, I doubt a "normal" person would be able to do something so violent with such ease and efficiency. Even then, to what measure is a normal person?

Now to stop myself before I deviate any further from my point.

RWBY =/= Soul Eater.
