To be fair, there's a difference between cliches and motifs. RWBY's still pretty badly written though.

I never watched a single anime until RWBY came along. Before RWBY I would always ignore animes saying, "They're all angsty, androgynous teens with oversized weapons, huge robots, and weird plot." Then RWBY came along, and since I was a huge Red vs Blue fan, I decided to give it a shot. Then all my waibu friends found out I started watching one anime show, and started suggesting a whole bunch of other amines I should watch. So far I've seen: Attack on Titan (which I liked), Sword Art Online (which I didn't like), Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (liked), Avatar (didn't like), and Deathnote (which I liked at first, until he lost his memory and it became just another crime drama). I'm also currently trying to watch Dragonball. And I think that's all of the amines I've seen.
