Another thing that tends to distract people is the special effects. When doing a live adaptation of an action-oriented animated show, it can be difficult to translate monsters and energy based abilities without it looking cheap.

Also the action is likely to be mediocre compared to the animated version because there's a limit to what actors and stuntmen are capable of doing, with or without wires.

RWBY is the kind of show I don't think could translate well into live action.
