RWBY Chibi is an American animated comedy web series produced by Rooster Teeth Animation for Rooster Teeth. It 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 series 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 that the second season's premiere would be later in that year on May 13 on Rooster Teeth and May 20 on YouTube.[2] A third season premiered on January 27, 2018, on Rooster Teeth and February 3, 2018 on YouTube.[3] Following the conclusion of the third season, the series would go on an indefinite hiatus.

The animated anthology series Neon Konbini, which premiered on May 27, 2021 on Rooster Teeth, would continue RWBY Chibi by airing ten individual segments of the series across its eight episodes before concluding on July 15, 2021.[4] In March 2023, these segments were re-released on YouTube as the "fourth season" of RWBY Chibi.

RWBY Chibi was announced by Gray 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. The third season premiered on January 27, 2018.[6]
