    It was really funny how Goku and Panzy were having little arguments throughout the episode. I also felt really excited how Goku turned Super Saiyan. Even thought it was for a second. It was a great feeling to notice that Goku had complete mastery of the Super Saiyan form.

    Takahashi is so talented. He can channel 90’s Yamamuro, Shintani, Daima character sheets, and even some Toriyama homages like the one you point out. He really is both an excellent artist as well as someone who has a clear love for the history and design behind Dragonball. I hope he has a long future with the franchise.
    Also, I think Shintani is actually my favorite out of the 4-way comparison you showed. His Goku is so wonderfully old school feeling with the shapes and shading.

    Nakatsuru my beloved. His style is easily my favorite of the chief ads so far, and it is funny that he is the off-model one. It certainly makes me feel better when I draw off model to my own sheets that I have to make for whatever.
    Also I always believed in Shimanuki being the blueprint😤

    I didn't notice the lack of hair movement in the first half of the fight, but I DID notice it the moment it cuts back from the smoke plume shot. It immediately caught my eye as super flowy, I loved it! On Nakatsuru drawing like his designs, I noticed how much longer Goku's limbs were in the police fight in ep.4. It felt like in motion, he had the original design length legs and less round in the body too.

    Kozue's section blew me away.
    As much as I've been loving the show so far I think it is time for a change in the pacing and production. I understand the show's schedule has allowed for amazing levels of polish, but the limited boards and occasionally stiffer animation have me hoping that it's because of what's coming up next. The next episode preview showed a lot of promise, so I'm hoping we see more of the action all-stars strutting their stuff. Great breakdown as always

    The chief supervisor Takahashi ordeal is certainly funny.
    I do believe Nakatsuru's corrections are the least compelling so far, I find him kinda boring and too linear compared to the other chief supervisors. He sadly got worse due to age, and to be honest, even though Goku's hair isn't as blocky as 2010s Yamamuro, that grey gloss remains appalling. They were going so well with Shintani in 2018 with 100% black hair.

    How can there only be 20 episodes when we haven't even hardly explored the realms? They didn't even start exploring until episode 3. There are a ton of environments we haven't seen yet from promotional material, including unique areas in the 3rd demon world.
    We don't have the other team here yet and most of the OP and ED shows most of the adventure happens with all of them. It looks like they may be coming by episode 7, 8 or 9. Which is 1/3 to almost half way into the show being finished?
    We haven't seen Dr. Arinsu since the first episode and haven't seen Degesu since episode 2. Outside of what we got this episode (#5) we haven't seen anything about Gomah's end game. There is a lot of necessary plot development in order for this to be a complete story. I really hope that this incredible piece of work does not become a rush job with a bunch of contrivances.
    I know Ajay knows how many episodes have actually been completed, but there is no way they do this story justice with only 15 episodes left and we're still in the 3rd demon world, still haven't fought the first Tamagami, still have tons of characters to meet and characters that need development as well...

    I'm not and animator myself, but as a professional artist who started drawing because of Dragonball...
    I can't help but noticing how keeping the flatter style modern-toriyama was know for is detramental for the show.
    And animators like Takahashi and Kubota are lowkey *held back* by the basic shape design of these characters.
    When those dramatic colors aren't used, and photography can't make everything cooler... It just reveals how flat these characters are.

I think it would be a really fun exercise, plus you would have the whole show completed. I might have commented something similar in the past so I won't bother you too much with this.

    I am desperately needing another SB artist besides Yashima. It’s been almost halfway into the show and we need a desperate change in boards. Storyboarding does a lot to tell a story and a tone.
    Those sitcom style side shots are getting enervating and I get that Yashima is on this important role for the developing experience but damn… the first half of the series had a lot of potential with all of those wonderful AD’s and compositing art directors.

    I see the reasoning behind Takahashi's choice of 3-tone shading, at least. I personally don't find it unfitting in big close-ups and the brow at 3:15 draws attention to his fierce eyes.
    Maybe a side-by-side comparison removing the 3rd tone could be interesting.
