Also, since I haven't seen it brought up, was anyone else bothered by the non-Monty animation? I started noticing it in Carolina's fight with Felix in RvB, and it continued in RWBY V2E9. But both those were mild. To me, the fight on top of the train with Yang/Blake/Weiss looked bad enough I'd almost have not cared if it had not happened. Not saying the episode would be better without it, but it was awkward enough that I feel it made no improvement. Blake fighting entirely on her feet, simply slashing stiffly with her upper body just stuck out in particular.

I understand Monty can't do everything, but it'd be nice if the other animators would at least follow the precedents of fighting style he's set, and in particular the theme of conservation of momentum. Not every animation style will be up there. Monty may do great fighting animations but hey everyone works different. I appreciate the efforts they put in to doing fighting scenes that Monty isn't doing or can't do cause he's doing something else.
