-Episode 81-
Liked it, but I stop worrying about Shimanuki's episodes since episode 42. I do agree the last two were better though.
Especially loved the part when Goku turned SSB and finished off Bergamo.
Who drew this shot?

[/spoiler] It's beautiful!
Gotta love how good this arc is looking. Better quality than all Champa's tournament fights and better pacing than most of them. And it's always cool to remind these are just exhibition matches. In the third episode of Champa's tournament Vegeta was already fighting Magetta the third fighter of U6, and we already had got 4 fights before that didn't even look this good. That's how bad we were back then.
Not sure how the filter would work in FT Trunks arc, but in Champa arc it would do wonders since that tournament took place in an alike location and everything is looking great now.
-Karasawa-
I hate suffering by anxiety so I'm still not riding the "Karasawa is gone" train. But I have to admit not seeing his name on the staff list that worked on the new Opening or his style in the NEP worries me. I just don't want to believe my favourite supervisor left.
I will wait until we get the staff list for the next episodes. If his name doesn't appear, then it's Game Over.
I've been paying attention to animation corner and there's nothing on his page past DBS episode 72 which aired in December. I will be pissed if he pops up working on the new Precure anime.

A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.
