We don't plan to change any animations for that release, I'm afraid.
Our animation sensei, barocca, isn't available at the moment.
Also we are pretty satisfied with the Cav animations as they are already a big improvement compared to the beta_5 version. About the Ashi-Xbows we care even less since they aren't used in MP and are not an authentical unit.
That is not to say that we won't do them eventually, it's just not an urgent matter in my opinion. Also please understand that the working on the animations is very time consuming.

Our main focus at this stage is to fix the map issues and some other minor changes.

If you need any animations, I have some I`d be more than happy to contribute. Among them I`ve got the corrected aim/fire cycle for the samarchers, corrected angled death anims for the Naginata, and eliminated most of the rogue pixels from the Nagi, WarriorMonks and Ashi (Yari & Xbow).

Also, I have the Cav anims but I took a different approach to the one you used in Beta 7. They`re not perfect (they don`t have jumonji either) but it (kind of) solves the problem of the small cavarcher firing frames.

If you`d be interested, I`d be happy to help.
