He served as the art director from episodes 1 to 345 (excluding episodes 96, 174, 218-219, 284-344). In some Extended Specials, Shibutani was absent for the art direction[Note 1]. Starting the digital era, namely, Episode 284: Chinatown Deja Vu in the Rain (Part 1) onwards, Shibutani had gradually faded from the anime production, except his sole return in Episode 345: Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night.
