I'm just copy-pasting what Link922 said on the matter. The first comment thread is interesting.



"In Long: In japan, the work culture is so bad that it kills some, and leaves the rest hating their adult lives, this is creating an effect on media in their country that only things about childhood and teenagehood work there. When RWBY transitioned into a more save the world type show in V3, they lost interest as it floated out of the child-teenage hood bubble."

Japan's working class has it so bad that they need escapist media.

Apparently Japan asked RT to make it more japan-friendly like adding cute girl things and a beach episode, but RT refused to budge.

Nobody gave any sources on any of this, but the escapism thing is true. With workers dying due to stress of course they would want to eacape to younger times.
