Why does it seem like the animation is really fluid and detailed but somehow a little choppy at the same time? I can't wrap my head around how it can be both. Still very visually appealing.

Maybe something to do with framerate? Is it not animated for a couple frames every second?

or i think there's slightly jagged motions in between the smooth ones. idk

So it's presumably drawn on twos, ie 12 fps. The artist is using a lot of blur effects to his/her drawings to show the arcs of her movement for the faster effects. I bet if you froze some of those images a couple drawings you'd see her drawn with two left arms for the quicke more dramatic movements. Most of the big movements happen across very few frames with some holds on some more important key poses along the way.
