I think he's my favourite. Love his DB classic style.

[@Vanessa_0622]

Same

[@rfar21]

Man that Piccolo power up scene against Cell, holy shit. I don't recall when did Piccolo looked that bad ass ever again.

[@Keytap15]

Zarathustra you can’t recall it because he hasn’t. It’s a damn shame too.

[@xhale671]

Imo his style looked the best in the classic DB and the beginning of Z

[@MightyEightMusic]

his art looks the best, hands down

[@boredUser69]

Simply my favorite animator/artist of early Dragon Ball Z era. His Super Saiyan Goku design is perfect

[@Waqas_Khan02]

This guy replicates the manga so good in animation.

[@thisgeneration2894]

satou will forever be One of my Favorite artist, seen his most recent sketches of dragonball.. awesome

[@FSMassy]

This guy perfectly nails Toriyama's artstyle, as well as having great animation

[@Sydney-wi1ym]

Not necessarily, his animation was a little stiff back in ogdb and dbz, his animation is much better now.

If he's even alive, he'd be like 70 yo lol...edit he's 55, yea let's get him on

[@MouthPeaceCorbett]

Best character design work of all the animators. His artwork resembles toriyamas original designs and manga style (22nd budokai to ginyu) the best of all db animators. His stills are near 1 for 1s to the manga. I feel like he would've been toriyamas favorite animator.

[@TheDontay21]

Damn I didn’t know Masaki Satou was damn good, I thought some of his scenes were by Yamamuro like the buffed up Trunks vs semi perfect cell. His art was amazing throughout his whole career in DragonBall.

[@user-eu2dl7ck9r]

Siempre está animación tenía las escenas más épicas & crudas. La dinámica de los movimientos, & las famosas Líneas de impresión eran algo regular. Impresionante.

[@jjs1047]

Las cejas bien gruesas, siempre lo caracterizaban y esa transformación de SSJ. Podemos decir que es el primer animador que pone más detalles y gruesos a los personajes, con él empieza la madurez del dibujo hacia la era Z. Un héroe sin capa.

[@fryer.studios100]

Best animator of the og dragon ball series hands down

What happened to him? His art is godlike and he's pretty good animating Not outstanding but good

Metal coola movie

[@ferretace]

The coloring for his animation always looks different than the others. Why is that?

[@dbanimators]

From a regular episode to a movie? Or due to different video sources?

[@ferretace]

I mean the episodes he worked on or Studo Junio in general compared to the other studios.

[@dbanimators]

Maybe their skin color. But I'm not that sure.

Many cuts are not by him.

[@whitesekai9354]

Pretty Dumb description. If you know the video is not going to last too much, why do you upload a SEVEN min long video? Like, that's suicide, dude.

[@dbanimators]

Oh, excuse me. I couldn't make this video any longer or shorter. Your comment is probably dumber than my description. After all, it's MY concern if my channel goes down, not YOURS. I wanted to give some warning, otherwise I might be accused of poor communication.

[@bulldawg986]

DBanimators thanks anyway I love your vids

[@dbanimators]

Apparently you don't know anything about it. Several months ago, I got angry at him, as well, but we clarified some time later. Last time he commented, he added "No offence", because writing is not the same as speaking. I don't know others' real intention, if good-natured or just hating for fun. That said, I had the balls to complain and then to make that misunderstanding clear. I decide what to upload, what to write and what to think. I don't allow ANYONE to interfere with my thoughts. Absolutely not.

[@EL-rj4jl]

White Sekai Calm down kid. I'm sure he is well aware of the situation, but chose not to care.

[@dbanimators]

I explained what happened. For that reason, I NEVER tell another guy that his video wasn't good. Once I watched a channel which discusses about DB animation, and his videos have plenty of errors. But I decided not to write anything, because I don't know how this guy would react.
