As for good Sato, I'd recommend Eureka 7. It's a bit of a mixed bag and it's not dark of mood or deeply philosophical, but it still deals with some serious themes--which stand out more because it tries to trick you into thinking it's kid-friendly at times--and you can see Dai's hand in some of the twists.
Biggest complaint I've seen about it is that it borrows some elements from Evangelion, but those are blatantly meant as homage--I recognized several scenes which were DIRECT parallels to earlier anime, not just Eva, so they're more like nerdy in-jokes than rip-offs.
Guess Dai Sato can't please everyone--we all have different expectations (I actually prefer stories that focus on characters at the expense of a realized world; I'd have liked more development in Ergo Proxy, for example).
No, but while I disagree, I can understand your grievances. For the plot, the lupine transmogrifications could have just as easily been replaced by making them an ethnic group, or any other unique trait they'd have to keep hidden.
The other stuff, it was more a character driven story, which I actually feel was one of its strengths. The focus was always on the characters, who were well developed and realized, more-so than most of Sato's works, which made it a bit more applicable to the masses (emotional thinkers) than shows like Ergo Proxy, which the normies label "pretentious."
Also good to see some Ergo Proxy love (not enough nerds on MAl--everybody likes Slice of Life), but why a 7 for Wolf's Rain?! Both were Dai Sato's children, and I actually liked WR better--EP's filler episodes could get downright annoying.
