![]() All things considered, the solid story and execution are quite possibly the best we've seen in SS thus far. The 2 minor imperfections are one, the series ends before the manga, leaving you hungry for more, and two, it does get just a little repetitive and formulaic with the way gold saints are introduced and their fate. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen for all 26 episodes. Yet, the story here is refreshing and unpredictable. It does draw many parallels to Kurumada's SS, making old fans feel warm and fuzzy. One of the problems with SS was it started getting repetitive after a while. For example, I was glad to see a dignified Cancer, while the Pisces saint is beyond cool. Here they bear resemblance to their 20th century incarnations, nearly everyone more fleshed out, but there will be some pleasant surprises. My favorites, as with before, are the gold saints. Characters here are deeper and more complex I found myself caring about even those who appeared only briefly. ![]() Like the Hades arc, it's more modern than the original, but what sets it apart is the superior characterization. This story is a solid addition to the legacy. I'm a big fan of the original Saint Seiya anime from the 80s as well as the 2000s Hades arc.
