Okay. Theorize mode, on.

He was busy trying to make Sun's battle animations (among others, but this was the most complex) for Volume 3. Originally they planned it for Volume 2, but they couldn't make it in time and decided that they would push it to Volume 3.

The reason why this year's battle animation seemed subpar is because Monty wasn't contributing much in it (only Episode 1, 4, and 11. Maybe a little 7, but it's simple enough that you can't tell).

And Chis, he decided ultimately that manual is best. Auto failed (I'm assuming he's referring to Penny's swords exiting her back).

Didn't Monty mention in his Tweet that he's seriously (or not) considering putting in a 'Let's Work' series about himself? I personally think it's a good idea; it'll allow people to chip in ideas to help out with various kinks and itches the system's experiencing. I feel like they're using the wrong engine to animate in the first place (even though Maya is good for modeling). The new feature he mentioned about smoothening Yang's boobs? Blender apparently had that ages ago.
