First episode was old-school shounen so anyone else who grew up with the original series will definitely feel at home.

Don't really like the new cloth designs though. The lack of the dark shading that the original series had makes the armor look like plastic or latex or something that's just not as solid/metallic.

I can't wait for the anime to be dubbed to mexpanish.

I hope Jesus Barrero repeats as Seiya and also hope the "highfarts" get some of the people that worked in the mexpanish dubs of Kenichi and Eyeshield 21 for this series.

That would be awesome (and relatively cheap since it's obvious Seiya isn't gonna have much lines), and I hope Irwin Daayán was the voice for the new Pegasus, since he was Seiya on the Hades Saga and I think that would fit very well.

I don't like ClothStones one bit.

One of the things I remember really loving as a kid watching it on Mexican tv was that they had to actually take care of and repair their armor. Something that was physically theirs and the state of which was something that represented how many battles they'd been through.

Now it's some magical girl (boy???) thing which kool I guess but it ain't for me at all.

Also yeah that shot of Kohga clenching his fist looked super weird and made the armor look hella plastic-y, I didn't like it. The Pegasus Meteor Fist sound was probably my favorite part of the whole thing. And Shaina.

>Heh heh female warriors. Don't make me laugh. Kishimoto said it best recently with Tsunade. Women are weak and make for shitty warriors. All this Girl Powah bullshit female token is, is just a reason to make the men look bad and emasculate them.

>And man Seiya looks like a major pussy in that clip you just posted. So he gets battered by a woman both without and with the armor. Some nameless thugs show up and then he magically finds his balls to beat them up, but doesn't beat Shaina black and blue like she deserves since she started the fight in the first place. What a White Knight shit stain.

>Come to think of it, all of the main characters are White Knight Faggots since they serve Athena/Saori while every other god is male and evil. What sexist misandrist shit. I cannot like Saint Seiya anymore. This whole pussy worship shit of females being put on pedestal like goddesses is ruining every fucking thing ever.

>Even Legend of Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, or Mario has this shit of crediting women as the creators of the universe and all life and sources of eternal goodness while men get labeled as evil. Don't even get me started on Kid Icarus Uprising. Medusa is the goddess of darkness? Nope, randomly Hades shows up and he's the real boss. Oh yeah and Palutena is the goddess of light and all that is good and Pit is her happy mangina fag all to willing to serve her and announces how glad he is to do so. Nevermind the loli goddess bitch who got away with mass murdering millions of innocent humans.

>Seriously fuck this shit. And just in case, fuck you if you dare to object.

Technically he does have a point. Why do we credit women so much for stuff they truly do not do on their own? So women help make babies, so what? You need both a man and a woman to get it done. Plus even if a woman gets pregnant she needs to be provided for with good food for 9 months so that she doesn't have a miscarriage and the embro dies. Usually its men who foot that bill. So its a two people effort. Not something women do solo. Never mind the fact that women need men's sperm to be able to even fathom bringing a life into this world.

Saori kind of really was a spoiled mega bitch. Didn't she literally rode one of the guys like a horse when he was a boy and whipped him in public while they were children? I recall Seiya calling that particular guy a bunch of insults because he allowed himself to be humiliated that way for the sake of a spoiled harpy. Kind of makes me wonder how Saori stopped being such a cunt. And please don't say "people grow up" because the type of behavior being displayed there in Saori's childhood felt like something akin to Azula from Avatar Last Airbender and that sadistic behavior is not something a person simply goes "wait a minute this is wrong, I'm literally hurting someone else so I should stop" in a random day.

Its called waking up. When you're a kid you'll believe a lot of shit. Now that I'm older I can see that putting women on pedestals is not only a great disservice to men, but a blatant lie. Women are not virtuous. They know dick shit about honor and loyalty quite frankly. That scene when Shaina told Saori that she was disgusted at seeing Saori act all protective of Seiya brings up another issue I'd like to bring to the table. Men may have a biological drive to protect women, but I can assure you women do not have an instinct to protect men. Remember the movie The Mummy Returns with Immotep literally being abandoned by the woman he loved? That is the true nature of women. Selfish til the end (so don't buy the lie of Brendan Frashier's character).

Looking back I liked Ikki more when he was an anti-hero and before he became a lame yes man to Saori like the rest of the cast.

Now BACK to Saint Seiya.

>>73514
You are right, Saori didn't just grow up. It was just a bad character writting, and it was even worse in the anime, and at least 90% of the St. Seiya fans only watched the anime and never read the manga.

In the manga is like you said, she was always a mayor bitch since childhood. She was a really spoiled brat mistreating the orphans her multimillionare 'grandpa' saved and gathered around the world to train them as saints.
When Saori reveals the others she is Athena and needs them to fight against the corrupt pope everyone flip her the finger and tell her a big Fuck You. They only come around until she goes to Greece willing to face the whole sanctuary alone.

In the anime? They all witness how she motherly saves a silver saint and are all like 'I finally see the light! You are the true prophet!' effectively becoming her bodyguards.
Honestly fuck that shit.

Yep, she did. Maybe after they save her ass AFTER telling her what a spoiled bitch she is, she got shaken to some senses (she's still 13 years old by then, I think...). After they give her that huge "FUCK YOU", she gets kidnapped by Jamian and they go save her, if I recall. In the anime... yeah, they didn't have much in the manner of a personality.

Also
>her multimillionare 'grandpa' saved and gathered around the world to train them as saints.
Ahem... he gathers them in orphanages, doesn't save them. Also, in the manga? That douchefag was their father. He somehow had a hundred kids, all orphans of their mother. Maybe a ton more with living mothers... damn I wanna be a multibillionaire.

>>73525
Manga is cool, the focus on Pandora and Rhadamanthys is a pain in the ass (reminds me of Inu Yasha), the ending is worth manly tears. The art is pretty damn good while making homages to the original. The art in the anime feels a bit bland since I'm used to 90s character designs and Shingo Araki designs for Saint Seiya, but the animation's gorgeous and there's some physical combat. Good OST too.

But I want Next Dimension :(

I don't know about the other "fans" but I liked it and have been following the series since the beginning.

My only complaint would be the cloths/armors, specially the gloves. Other than that it was all good.

Episode 43

Of all the episodes in this show, this was the only one I sort of didn't like but it seems like many fanboys of the original show liked it a bit more than the past episodes.

Amor is a perv who wants to get in Yuna's "pants". He also seems to be the typical sadistic pretty boy.
The heavenly kings are like zombies with armor who haven't shown any personality yet.

Omega is turning into Bleach. Kouga is hollow mode now. Which is ironic as fuck considering Bleach is heavily inspired by Saint Seiya to begin with.

Oh yeah, this new artstyle will probably please the people that didn't liked Yoshihiko Umakoshi, since the new guy apparently worked close to Kurumada or something like that.

Honestly, I don't even watch Omega. But those guys were known to show up to just... be there and somehow kinda fight people who gave more trouble on the anime... just so they could show up. There was that wind guy whose armor did a cool trick, but that was it. Seriously, remember Centaur Babel? The Silver Saint guy who used fire? I think in the manga Hyoga killed him with ONE attack. Didn't really break a sweat. Half his episode was just so they could show up.

As for the style, now that you mentioned, it's pretty clear in the Steel Saint's face that they're at least trying to copy Shingo Araki's style, in this illustration at least. Unfortunately, Araki himself died a couple years ago. Shame, the guy was pretty boss at drawing and animating.

It might have something to do with it that the steel saints are Toei's invention and since this show was also made by Toei, maybe they thought it would be a good idea to bring back the concept.

Maybe we will see some of the original saints return for the new season sporting new versions of their cloths and promoted to silver saints.

I had read somewhere that they're planning on bringing back the cloth boxes. That could mean that there will be new toys like the old myth cloths.

Keiichi Ichikawa will direct the second season in substitution of Yoshihiko Umakoshi.

Ichikawa also worked in the anime adaptation of Ring ni Kakero which is also of Kurumada's autorship.

I think they wanted to make a new one for the new generation, lol

If they're clever enough they're just gonna animate Next Dimension as soon as there's material for that. They could also have made an anime version of Episode G since it's almost finished, but I'm not sure how is the acceptance over there. Or continued Lost Canvas, if it was animated by Toei, too.

Not 100% positive, but I think Poseidon had "Mariners", and Hades had "Spectres".

It's the fate of steel saints to be jobbers and mere support.

The original steel saints helped the bronze saints to defeat Centaurus Babel, bought some time for Shiryu against Perseus Algol, drove Spartan away and then disappeared.

These new steel saints won't be any different. They will buy time for the saints in some difficult fight and that's it.

Keep in mind this is the series that broke half the Gold Saint molds in half, set them on fire, then ran away while cackling.

That said, I'm only at ep52 and so far the Steel Cloth is pretty useless.

It wasn't that bad. The part with the "i no longer serve Athena", the rock and roll and all that jazz was kind of awkward but the rest of the episode was still cool.

I was expectig Haluto to sing Omega's new theme though.

Did his fans die or something? They didn't show the time spell stopped having effect after the Pallasite was defeated.

It's still a little early to say there won't be anymore Paradox

She is shown in the new opening although Ikki does that too and he has not appeared yet and there's a Saint Seiya Omega TCG of the Pallas arc and there's a Paradox card, so who knows.

Maybe she just went back home to train a little more and she could appear later to save Ryuhou sometime later.

I think they will raise some saints from the dead, like they did for Hades. Of course it will be the new gen and not the old iconic ones, but still.

Plot of the weak was dumb and tired but I like the Saint being in a situation that isn't "omg I have 12 hours to save a bitch, gotta knock at every nigga's door fast".
Still mad at how badly Yuna is characterised so far, too. She's the one that grew up in the middle of a war, she should be either handling things way better, or being shaken enough to put some drama in those homo romances.
