I'll add to this, that if you browse through the halfling thread, I do comparisons of all attack and recovery animations that I could find, for every weapon, comparing them on medium sized creatures against small sized creatures. While there are a lot of different animations, in total, a good number of weapons share the same animation set; they don't even have tweaked or unique animations for each individual weapon type... and past that, they NEED unique animation sets for smalls versus mediums, which are only partially done in a few cases, and mostly not at all yet... so we can hope for a few different ones for each weapon, but realistically our chances of seeing it are slim.
I'd still LIKE to see it, definitely.
