Watch RWBY. Just do it. It has humour, action, gunblades, monsters, magic, a secondary magic system, a really interesting moon, good animation for the most part, animal people, a combat school, EPIC music (so, so, SO EPIC), Combat Skirts, dinosaur easter eggs, it's produced by roosterteeth and MONTY OUM, and is getting serious in the next volume. Also may I mention that the creator is supportive of fanfiction, may or may not include a fan made character later on, and has already held a design contest for the battle gear of one character, who was originally supposed to be a bit character that appeared twice, but is now a full fledged character because of fan popularity? Also, REALLY EPIC FIGHTING. REALLY. REALLY. EPIC. I say epic, but in the non-slang sense, it has fairly short episodes, and only one 'volume' in the first season, if I understand the system right. Also mysterious back-stories, and weapons even more epic than the fighting. for example...
Crescent Rose, a High Calibre Sniper Scythe (HCSS), touted as one of the most dangerous weapons ever conceived.
Myternaster, a rapier with a revolver mechanism that allows the powering up of her attacks with elemental magic.
Magnhild, a warhammer/grenade launcher. 'Nuff said.
Gambol Shroud, part Cleaver, part Glock-18, part Katana/Ninjato/generic Japanese sword, part Kusarigama, and all awesome.
Ember Cecilia, shotgun gauntlets that have either concussive or long range projectile ammo.
Ruyi Bang & Jingu Bang, a staff that spits into shotgun nunshucks. Once again, 'nuff said.
If that doesn't convince you, I don't know WHAT will.
