So although I know it is stylistically borrowing from Japanese animation, does RWBY really count as anime?
Simple answer:

No.

edit: woah, Monty made that? I'll have to look into it still...

But yeah, it's like people calling Avatar anime... it's not, people.

If RWBY is then any cartoon is as well. I'll add Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash to the list.

The argument is that RWBY isn't anime, so if we can list RWBY characters then we can also list MLP and other cartoon characters. (RWBY is made in America, not Japan, therefore it's not considered a true anime even though it's in the same style of art and animation.)

I had trouble deciding on ten though, so even if you remove all the RWBY folks from my list there are still twelve non-RWBY folks. It can't be helped! There are so many good ones! :D

A web cartoon put out by Rooster Teeth. It was created by Monty Oum and the story is centered on four girls (Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang, with the combined first initials of their names making up both their team and the title of the series) that are at a school to learn how to kill monsters.

Granted I'm only familiar with maybe half the stuff people have listed (which I consider to be a good thing!), I am nonetheless intrigued by many choices. Well, I'm actually not the slightest bit interested when the primary character (e.g., Vash the Stampede) is the one chosen, but all the rest probably have interesting reasons.

Unless the reason is "She has big ***." -.-;

All animation is anime to the Japanese, it's just what they say instead of animation.

All animation is anime to the Japanese, it's just what they say instead of animation.
Nah, it's アニメ in Japan. "Anime" is an English loanword of a Japanese loanword from English that has been co-opted to mean something along the lines of "animation produced in Japan" or, possibly, "animation produced in the style of animation produced in Japan." The distinction between those two is where my question arose.

If they want to distinguish Japanese animation from foreign animation they use "Japanese animation". The word animation (or anime), refers to ALL forms of animation in Japan.

Writing it アニメ is simply because it's a loanword, hence the katakana.

I'd have some comment about liking them crazy, but I did include a female mad scientist who is probably a multi-dimensional goddess of immeasurable power in my list, so glass houses and such.
