Renu and Soup talk about RWBY very passionately for a long time.
Disclaimer that we own none of the music and that it belongs to Jeff Williams and Roosterteeth (And whoever happens to own the rights for the Eva soundtrack at this point it's incredibly unclear).
Watch RWBY Here
Yakuza 0
Majima's Introduction. CW for Sexual Harrassment
Adam Plays Yakuza 0
The Best Anime Fight Scene of All Time
Anticipation in Animation
Every Frame a Painting's Breakdown of Jackie Chan's Directing Style
The RWBY Red Trailer. Watch this while keeping in mind the principles of anticipation, impact, and using framing to set up the next motion
Yang in the Yellow Trailer
Yang in the Character Short for Volume 5
Yang in Volume 5 vs Bandits. Notice how the framing is really jarring and robs you of satisfying resolution to actions.
I hate that this is uprendered to 60 fps, but Yang vs Neo is an incredible example of how Monty understood how to animate fighting styles interacting with each other. Pay special attention to Neo's deflections nullifying Yang entirely and the pauses between the actions that ramps up anticipation.
The First Match in Hanebado
Yang vs Mercury
Dillongoo's Animation
Dillongoo animating a character with a gun
Maka from Soul Eater's Scytheplay

How not to kill off your most popular antagonist
Since you made it all the way down here, have Monty's "alternate takes" for the Dance scene from Volume 2.

Renu and Soup talk about planet husking, relationships, and resisting the fold of an intergalactic fascist empire. That's right! It's Steven Universe!
It should go without saying that we own none of the music in this episode and it's mostly by the wonderful team that makes Steven Universe.
