Well, it is a WIP, Jessica may still be working on "getting into" her role. (you know, consistently delivering Cinder's tone, etc.)

I'm really glad they mentioned how the Mo-cap is most useful for conversations; RWBY's characters feel a lot more "life-like" then most 3D animated series I see as a result of that Mo-caping.

And as expected, they continue to mercilessly tease us with WIP scenes from vol.2

... hmm... I know a time skip was expected, but did we just skip the Vytal Festival? I mean, considering how important the preparations for the festival were last volume it's unlikely, but...

...unless we've just been missing the teams studying the entire time offscreen, and they're just pointing out that shortcut?
