Sato is definitely in my in my top 3 dbz animators for sure. In my opinion his work fit Dragon Ball Z the most when the manga used lots of hatching. I usually don't like it when the characters are too angular/rough but with Sato it's an exception because of the really good lines and shading.

You're right about Maeda, not catching up to the evolving style, the first King Piccolo vs Goku episode, was the best example of that. Masaki was really accurate to the manga look, Goku looked older, more mature and a bit slimmer, while in the next episode, he's back to looking cute and stubby, even when I first watched it as a kid, I noticed this lol

I really like Meada's art for being so expressive and for how his work as character designer would define Dragon Ball's look up until the Cell arc and. For Sato I also really enjoyed his art for being a really detailed with the hatching and his effects work that made the fight scenes more visually engaging. If I had to choose I leaned more towards Sato's work, though that isn't to take away Meada's importance to the series visuals.

Great video!!! So enjoyable to watch and always learning new things. I really love both of their work. I really love how expressive Maeda can be with the faces (See Goku's clenched teeth while he brings ki from his fist down in the Cha La Opening)! Both have rougher line art during that 1988-1990 period. Dead Zone's art is my ideal look to DBZ overall with the Recoome vs Vegeta episode right up there. I do love Sato just as much with his bold line work and amazing understanding of volume and anatomy. His timing for animation I really enjoy as well. Dream team, I really can't pick a favourite. I also think Maeda allowing his team's art shine through is one of the best things an art director can do. Really a based move for lack of better terms haha

If I'm being honest, I think Uchiyama should step down and let Maeda supervised some of Buu Saga episodes. I'd have his rough and somewhat outdated style over the complete unpolished and failed bad take of Toriyama artstyle from Uchiyama. At least Maeda seems to know what he's doing, he know that he can't keep up with Toriyama's style in Android Saga onward, but he didn't want to make the character didn't look like the current artstyle, so he came up with hybrid approach of early and current artstyle in that era, and it actually worked as the character still look like themselves despite some outdated traits, not weird looking like Uchiyama. His work in Movie 7 was very rough but his last contribution in Trunks OVA and Super Trunks VS Cell episode is actually an improvement.
