It should say something that people thought Volumes 1-3 were animated in MMD (MikuMiku Dance).

The animation in Maya (the program they switched to in Volume 4) is definitely much better and more professional.

And it is greatly appreciated that they did not decide to have the animation skip frames "to imitate 2D animation". I don't know why so many people keep making 3D animations with frame skipping (Berserk, Dragon Prince, gen:LOCK) as an "aesthetic" choice. It doesn't look like 2D animation, no matter how much they might insist it does. It just looks awful. It's super noticeable, it looks clunky, and I wish people would stop doing it. RWBY shows you can have a 3D animation that mimics 2D art style and looks great without skipping frames.
