A Japanese fan who used to stop by the wiki to ask about stuff they misunderstood in volume 3 episodes explained a little about the reason RWBY has so many Japanese fans. Apparently, the Japanese fanbase is at least partially due to the fact that western storytelling is new and fresh in Japan. It's different from Japan's style of storytelling. This makes it stand out among the anime that it's trying to emulate. It's not the same old stuff they're used to.
