Here are the only things Monty was responsible for.


 * The idea for the series itself - Now that it has gotten started up, his absence won't have effect on that.


 * The general plans for how the plot will go - He shared those plans with Miles and Kerry, who helped him flesh out the details of what happens and write the script, so since they know all the stuff he had planned, that won't be a problem.


 * Most of the fight scenes - He trained Shane Newville in fight scene animation for years. Shane is the one who animated Pyrrha vs Mercury. So, that won't be a problem either.


 * Character creation - Well, he already came up with a lot of characters ahead of time. We saw that when we got to see lists of character folders on his computer. There are names there that we haven't even heard in-show yet. Names like Mint, Yue, Tempest, Cobalt, Bones, Ciel, what looks like Willow Schnee, what looks like Theodora, what looks like Venus Milan, and most likely many, many more that were covered by windows.

I don't think they'll have too much trouble without Monty.
