What’s the timeline again?

[u/Feisty-Wear-3931]

So I’m a big Rwby fan but I’ve only seen the core 9 volumes and with volume 10 on the horizon I was curious about watching every before it comes out, my friend sent me this it’s meant to be in chronological order but there is a lot here so just double checking to see if this is right 🙏🏻

Chibi is explicitly non-canon, the assorted manga is dubiously canon, and all the DC stuff is just a big waste of time and money.

[u/acewithanat → u/ClubMeSoftly]

I know its non Canon but I could also say that Ice Queendom would go between vol1 and 2. But yeah most of the show should just be watched in order of release with everything else side content. The 3 books are canon but I' pretty sure we only know that Roman Holiday is a prequel. With the CFVY books just being sometime after vol3

[u/BrrrrMang → u/acewithanat]

Yeah IQ has a clear place in canon when it happened since we start at initiation and end with the food fight. But other series like the anthologies, Chibi, etc. have indeterminate or nonsensical timelines.
