That was some Shida level work. Heck I could see that scene fitting perfectly in the opening.
As for the storyboard...this must be a result of the schedule improving. There was a lot of detail. Maybe their "tournament non-filler" episodes are storyboarded in advance ?
Awesome henshin by Tate! So rare to see that kind of thing in Dragon Ball. You can say whatever you want about Super, but there's something unique in this anime and that is the number of heterogeneous styles popping up from time to time. Amazing.
Great Storyboard by Karasawa Kazuya. The first total in house episode after #84, I think. Higashide did the training sequence and Tate did the transformation, the rest was handled by Yashima. So glad we have Yashima. The best part of the episode in terms of animation was definitely that transformation. That was amazing. I think we will see Tate next directly in ToP. I am very excited for his next episode, pretty sure that its gonna be great. NEP looks nice as well.
That was a great episode, art wise it was probably the best episode that Yashima's supervised. I lost my shit at the Magical Girl transformation, good shit Tate.
Three animators raises an eye brow, I wonder if they did that because they considered this episode important enough, or if Yashima is going to show up again really soon, like on 94 or something.
Much better episode than last week. Karasawa Kazuya shows what a good director he is yet again. The transitions were neat and effective. The flow of the episode was smooth. It never felt like it was dragging. DBS is lucky to have him as a regular.
I've gotten used to Yashima's style and I think his AD work was fine. Nothing bad. The highlight of the episode was of course Tate's henshin. Absolutely magical. Give me more stuff like this.
Now I am really curious as to who would supervise #94. I was thinking it would be Ishikawa but since he is appearing next week it will obviously not be him. I wonder who it is then and what that episode will be about.
So my guess on next week is that Ishikawa handles half, one TAP supervisor handles the other half and Itai does a handful of corrections on that half.

My guess is now that it will be Yashima again, with a few animators with him like today.

Anyway, surprisingly little input from Ide, I thought
He's probably focusing on correcting Kitano for 93 so Freeza's introduction doesn't look like garbage.
Okay, I think need to stop watching Super episodes live through crappy quality live streams, because after watching the episode again in HD my opinion of this episode has significantly increase. This episode looked shockingly good and the transformation of the idol character into the large alien female fighter we see in the current opening was stunning and one of the best cuts of animation that, not only has Super provided, but the entire franchise as a whole has provided. Fucking amazing.
All hail Tate!
And a big shout-out to Yashima too. He deserves a hell of a lot of praise.

The way it moves almost reminds me of a Shida cut. It isn't quite as animated as his but would be, but it's pretty damn close. Very impressive considering how on model and fluid it is when Tate isn't quite known for staying on model.

Who are you talking about? Is it Tate? Because if so, that's not true at all. He delivered the best cuts of animation in the either retelling of BOG and ROF (Episode 26), gave us the best episode of the Champa arc (Episode 38), one of the best episodes of the Future Trunks arc (Episode 47) and gave the best looking episode from the Zen Exhibition Matches (Episode 79).

King Ryu has 95? Huh, maybe that won't be the start of the ToP... I'd expect Tomioka to write the first episode of it. Then again King Ryu does write important episodes pretty often.
Toshio also says he wrote many episodes for the tournament, interesting... I wonder if the Battle Royale will be stretched out like Freeza's 5 minutes or if it will only be part one of the tournament in some way.
