Burnie told Monty that after they were done with Season 10 he could do whatever he wanted. So he made RWBY. Leaving RvB was his own decision, so don't expect him back soon. I don't think the new animation is bad, it's been fine so far, I would just say they need to work on fight scene choreography more.
