Was any of this inspired by RWBY? I'm getting a lot of the vibes.
RWBY itself has a lot of inspiration (like shop robbing is inspired by cowboy bebop) so things inspired by what inspired RWBY might look like they were inspired by RWBY. Hope this isn't too confusing. Or it is just a big coincidence lol.
Tldr: likely whatever X thing inspired RWBY might have also inspired this.
