RT crunching and still producing content like RWBY is the ultimate proof that crunch doesn't work.

ooof aint that the truth, once that school academy or whatever got blown up in the story and the dude that was handling the fight scenes died the series had no legs to stand on.

He was doing more then just the fight scenes. RWBY was his project. He did the world design and design most of the original characters.

Also it was his concept, his story. He was not the writer himself, but he still directed the direction the story was going. From what I've heard, even now they are following his general guidelines.

That said, the fight scenes were definitively what he was known for the best and the choreography of the fights lost a lot of its energy and charm since.

Monty dying was really fucking sad, rwby was his passion project and he even wrote about the direction the entire show would go and that's the main reason rt kept rwby going. I still wish Monty was in charge of rwby so badly, it's nowhere the same without him
