I really hope Blizzard will fix animations in a future patch, just like they updated several animations in Legion. Slice and Dice looks ridiculous, like we’re boxing with the unarmed animation and Vanish like I mentioned before.

Here’s an example of the animation we lost.

It’s the first ability used after the Chrage, Bloodthirst. That animation was used for a couple of abilities, such as Eviscerate. I found an article about losing these animation in 9.0. My Bug Report thread on it has gain zero traction. So, shout out to the Rogue community being the most helpful ones! Woo!

There seems to be a lot of animations across the board that just don’t look right, like the running backwards animations now. Whether these are by accident or design is probably anyone’s guess, but the loss of the female pandaren finishing move animations is upsetting.
The spinning/flourishy animations are the ONLY reason I settled on a pandaren for my rogue. The animation for roll the bones is still there, but the ones for finishing moves have been changed. I may be in the minority, but I actually prefer the change/removal of the devastate animation on the female pandaren warrior.
You may want to try posting in the bug forum again. People seem to have better luck after posting a second time and once they’ve been able to draw more attention to the issue. I’d certainly back you up.
Could I ask where you found the article you referred to? I’d like to take a look at it.

The second Bug Report thread is here.

Like the first, it isn’t gaining any traction. Interestingly, the racial Pandaren animation is still there on the PTR. I posted videos in the Bug Report thread to show it. Which, as far as I’m concern, pretty much confirms it’s a bug.
The article is from gamestoday called The Struggles of a Female Pandaren in 9.0.
It would be great for a bump on the Bug Report thread. I self-bumped the first one I made a couple of times, ha…

Thanks for the article. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one put off by the unsightly “neck seam”…thank goodness for high collars and scarves! I also checked out your bug report. Hopefully it gets a bit more attention, but I have a sneaking hunch it may get pushed to the bottom of the barrel. It’s an obvious problem though if people are writing articles about it.

Thank you so much for posting in the Bug Report thread, too! It may be a bit optimistic of me. But, I like to believe that each post in the thread is just a stepping stone towards Blizzard seeing it and deciding to fix it. I’m glad I noticed it on my Rogue at first with Eviscerate, too. It led me to create this thread in the Rogue section first thinking it was a Rogue issue, and in-turn everyone has been kind and helpful.
