A/N: So this is a little something I've had banging around my empty brain for that past while, having to do with what Anime the cast of RWBY would like. But before any of you start composing your flame reviews, there is little to no concrete evidence that Anime as a concept exists in the world of RWBY; this is purely a thought experiment, nothing more! All decisions regarding everyone's choices will be based on and filtered through their canon personality and characters, and I'll do my best to keep personal bias out of the screening process.
Anywho, I'll stop jawing now so we can get to the meat of this project.

...for Ruby.
"Favorite anime? Well, I guess I like shows with a lot of action in them. ...Which ones? OK, let's see...I like Dragonball Z, that one's pretty fun, though there aren't a lot of weapons in it. Ooh! Bleach has a lot of weapon in it! I love the different designs everyone's Zanpakuto change into, and they all have different abilities to boot! Though for some reason Matsumoto reminds me a lot of Yang, I can't put my finger on it... I like Beyblade, even though Yang says that basing an entire show on spinning tops is stupid."
"It is!"
"But deciding the fate of the world with cards games isn't? Which reminds me, I watch Yu-Gi-Oh! too! It can get kinda boring at parts, but the monsters are pretty cool and the characters are funny."
"Don't knock the card battles, Rubes! How do you think I got so good at Remnant: The Game?"
"Yang! I'm trying to answer the question!"
"Whatever, Miss Crabby-pants!"
"Alright, now where was I...Oh right! I like Ruroni Kenshin, that one's really fun! All the sword fights, the cool characters, the sword fights, the awesome locations, the sword fights... I like Pokemon and Digimon; they're both so colorful and all the creatures in them are all super creative! Of course, Yang says they're both pretty much the same, but she doesn't know what she's talking about... I guess I like Naruto. At least, I like all the cool powers everyone has. The characters...yeah, they could be better. What else...oh, Sword Art Online is reeeeaaaaally good! Well, the first thirteen episodes are good, Yang won't let me watch the second half of season 1. Every time I ask her why, she just says she'll tell me when I'm older. I wanna know now, darn it!"
"You know, you've been badmouthing me a lot here."
"Because you won't let me watch anything fun!"
"I let you watch a little bit of Attack on Titan, don't I? Besides, you're practically glued to the TV screen whenever you watch something."
"S-s-s-so what if I am?! At least I don't have to hide watch from Dad!"
"Hey, what I watch is perfectly fine! Dad just...chooses the wrong moments to peek over my shoulder, so to speak..."
"And why won't you let me watch the rest of SAO, huh? What's so bad about it?"
"Well..."

In case you couldn't tell, this is sort of inspired by "Dear Fanfiction" by LittleSunDragon-Chan. (Which is a very enjoyable read that everyone should go check out!) Though where that is done in the form of letters from the characters, this one will be more in the style of an interview, sometimes with other characters popping up off screen; I'll probably put something at the top of each chapter to explain that from now on.
So what did you think? Agree, disagree? Did I miss that one super obvious choice that you think Ruby would like? Well, that's what Reviews and PMs are for. I'd legit like to know what Anime you guys think the cast of RWBY would like!* (*See the opening AN.)
Also, this chapter's loose theme is Shounen anime.
Next time, it's Weiss's turn in the spotlight, so let me know what shows the canon her might like.
