Comparing RWBY to other animes is like comparing a truck to a battleship. It's unfair on RWBY's part because it's budget is far smaller than mainstream animes like Soul Eater. It doesn't have the capability to do long episodes due to that.

It's not following an anime format, it's following the RoosterTeeth formula of releasing episodes of less than ten minutes (with certain exceptions) weekly.
