I'm a big fan of RWBY. I guess you could say it's similar to My Hero Academia, but in a fantasy setting, yet much more futuristic at some points. It's a 3D animated show made by Texans. It has its ups and downs but it's an ongoing show that I've been invested in for nearly a decade.

The first 3 volumes(essentially the same thing as seasons) have had a very low budget, but it was basically a work of passion by the creator, Monty. The fights are incredibly well done and a lot of the artistic choices made by Monty are no longer replicated even today. You can tell it was basically a labor of love because pretty much everything that wasn't a fight scene was...pretty low quality(for example, literally every character had the same running animation). Monty really just wanted an outlet for his incredible fight scenes. RWBY is known for its incredible music, too.

Unfortunately, Monty passed away just before Volume 3 began. While the show has gotten a massive budget since then, the fight scenes have never even been close to the same. The story is very much fantasy though - and to be frank, I still feel invested in it. The writing is questionable sometimes and some Volumes are an absolute fucking chore to watch(Volume 5 immediately comes to mind), but considering the creator barely even had a story to begin with, I believe they've done a very good job at keeping the show interesting.
