For the whole "Hazel punching Oscar towards the entrance then it's the right side of the room", IIRC the room has side doors (see Jaune v Cinder in episode 11). In addition, the front door is recessed significantly, whereas in that image it wasn't. But I agree they definitely need to work on the continuity errors. They should see the scene from a distant perspective and they can observe how all the animation goes down when viewed from a distance, so everyone should be visbile and not disappear from that perspective, even if it won't be visibile from wherever the camera is positioned at any particular time.

My hope for Hazel is that his sister's death was just the start of his path to Salem, that she used it as a means of convincing him, rather than the sole cause.

Yeah, they need to be clearer about Aura. My guess is that Vernal didn't react fast enough (same with Sienna) but you'd think she had her reaction time down by now. Aura kind of works them into a corner in that respect, in that it makes it harder to just straight up kill people quickly, even if it lets them justify a lot of other cool stuff. Also they need to stop having Aura flashes on the body unless it means it's broken.

We have fights teased (again) and I'm really hoping they'll be good (which I also said last time, so....). Less talking, more fighting. This would also reduce the stupidity as well.

I wonder if Cinder's face is thus Grimmified. Still not sure how I feel about Grimmification over all to be honest. Also Cinder's Grimm arm should have bigger claws and be more embedded into Vernal - it looked like it was just the tips of the fingers. I wonder if anyone else in Salem's crew will get Grimmified?

Music in fights is odd - is it just me or because they make these Serious Fights with Serious People, they can't have some of the more energetic music they used to because they think it might clash too much? So instead we get all this foreboding stuff that is Serious. Going back to the music of prior volumes would really improve things. It would resolve these strange scenario where the animation and graphics quality has improved yet things feel worse. So I basically agree with you on all the animation stuff.
