RWBY Chibi is an American anime-style comedy web series produced by Rooster Teeth Animation for Rooster Teeth. It was first announced as part of Rooster Teeth's 13th Anniversary celebration on April 1, 2016 and premiered May 7.[1] In January 2017, Rooster Teeth confirmed the second season's premiere in May 13, 2017 on Rooster Teeth First and May 20, 2017 on YouTube.[2] A third season premiered on January 27, 2018 on Rooster Teeth and February 3, 2018 on YouTube. [3]
After the third season's eight episode, Kids vs Adults vs Pups, RWBY Chibi took a hiatus from March to June 30th[4]. This was when the ninth episode, Tea Party aired.
The show is a spin-off of RWBY, where each episode consists of several scenes where aspects of RWBY's characters are usually exaggerated for comic effect. The episodes follow no strict chronological order, nor do they follow the canon of the main plot itself.

Development
A spin-off series of the show, RWBY Chibi, was announced by Haddock in April 2016.[5] RWBY Chibi can be described as a comedy series consisting of two to five segments per episode. Each episode has a run time of about three to seven minutes. The series uses both the RWBY characters and world, but is animated in a different art style. RWBY Chibi is not considered to be canon, with characters repeatedly breaking the fourth wall. The first season premiered on May 7, 2016, and consisted of 24 episodes, which were aired weekly at the usual RWBY release time on Saturdays. It concluded on October 15, 2016, just one week before the release of the RWBY Volume 4 premiere. A second season of RWBY Chibi premiered on Rooster Teeth's web site on May 13, 2017.[6]
