Certain parts weren't great; like the distant shots of the dragon in flight, or many of the scenes where characters were jumping or flying - the animators haven't quite figured out how to animate momentum and effort and things like that.

Other parts were fine. Shots of characters using their weapons were pretty good, callouts to Blake using her pistol in mid-air, running down the Dragon's wing and Sun blocking the lightning beam thing. There were definitely some less than stellar animations of the characters moving though - there was a lot more of that here than in the episode 1 fight where the boss was slow moving and so faster movements that were harder to track were more emphasized. Here there was a lot of Blake and Sun running and jumping focusing purely on them and it didn't look so good.

I liked the episode anyhow - we finally get to see all the memebers of team rwby. Any bet that the next episode will be back with RNJR. I have some good guesses now for where the series is headed and its finally good to have some substantial thought-food.
