He's not a douche, he's not going to walk away when they're halfway through a season and need him to animate stuff. Yeah I'm sure he finished. I'm just thinking for the future of the series. They've lost two of their big animators for fight scenes. Makes one wonder where they'll go from here.

During the AfterBuzz interview, Shannon McCormick said he did the voicing for the next World of Remnant I think the day the previous one came out. So I'm guessing the animation is similarly ahead, and likely completed.
