It really depends on your definition of Anime. To most people, it is just an Anime-esque web-series and even Monty has said during interviews and such that it is an Anime-esque show. It is basically in that grey area that Avatar: The Last Airbender and Xiaolin Showdown sit, where they borrow heavily from Asian themes but they are still American made. RWBY is in an even greyer area because it isn't even a tv show, but a web-series. It is kind of like how Machinima isn't truly a video game or a movie/TV series, but a kind of in between form of media. I personally don't see RWBY as an Anime because not only is it not made in Japan, but it wasn't intended for a Japanese audience.
