But Rave Master didn't have the Akira influenced stylised realism I mentioned
Which is what Made Naruto stand out regardless on whether you like that style or not

Same reason why some people make the joke of Naruto being a derivative of Boruto's dad unironically...
There are people who have no idea what Naruto is who only came in(somehow) with Boruto and barely have a clue of what the Naruto series is about.
Mashima was self-taught when it comes to his art so props there on making his style entirely on his own.
I like his new style a lot but kind of miss his old style. The way he draws Haru these days just looks like Natsu or Shiki with silver hair and slightly different eyes.

Yeah I preferred Kishi's more detailed, dirty and somewhat messy artstyle from part 1 of Naruto. It sold the impact of shit like Zabuza's decapitation of Gato and other shit better. Same goes for the environments were Konoha looks somewhat built from random bullshit that just managed to form a village and panel layout that would occasionally have characters outside of the panel. Felt like there was more effort and heart put into it, things at least looked pretty interesting, then you compare it to pt 2 where everything feels clean and sterile.
In terms of art for the HST:
One Piece = Best Locations
Naruto = Best Character Designs
Bleach = Best Outfits
Neji giving Hinata internal bleeding, Gaara pulping dudes in sand coffins, Genjutsus by Orochimaru graphically maiming and decapitating people.
Not to mention the whole world in the beginning feeling more like real life and not everything being about ninjas: Land of Waves being a normal fishing village and the main villain of the arc being a drug dealing kingpin who’d look out of place in current Naruto / Boruto
In fairness the other half of the time, he does pretty good with the transformations.
H2 Ichigo and Released Barragan anyone?
Barragan definitely had the best looking Release of the Espada. Nnoitra too surprisingly enough though that’s mainly because he’s such a goofy looking character to start out with.
It’s just a shame how both the Sternritters and Arrancars look much better in their base forms about half the time.

I would go with an average.
Kishi probably doesn't hit the highs the other two do with their chars designs, but ... he also doesn't really have big fails in that department outside Burito.
Like, some of Kubo's and Oda's char design are downright hideous. Worst i can say about pre Burito Kishi is that he has ...mid or bland char designs.

Kubo's characters for most part looked the best in street wear for some reason
Stark's is good too, albeit a little basic and Grimmjow's is up there as well.
Yeah it is a shame.
Oh absolutely, Prime Akira bodies all three.
There's a reason they all take inspiration from Dragon Ball in some way or another.
Starrk is cool. Grimmjow isn’t bad, it just he doesn’t look anywhere near as cool as he does Unreleased.
