My thoughts on those manga basically come down to 'look, we have massive explosions, loud noises and non-stop action', and that's all there is to it for me.

Oh, and RWBY is an overhyped series. The characters are boring and uninteresting. I gave up on it after the travesty that was volume 5. And don't get me started on Gen:Lock, an equally bad show. No amount of a-list actors from Doctor Who or Game of Thrones can cover that mess up. That's an interesting view on shonen manga but, at the risk of being insensiitive, it sounds a bit like you don't really...pay attention to most of them? Naruto focuses mahorly on the plot. One Piece, the most popular manga ever, really doesn't focus on action at all (in fact a lot of OPM action scenes are bad).
