If you're a fan, you should stay away too and spend your time with better anime. Overall 2/10: If you're not a fan of Saint Seiya, stay away. At the time of episode 8 I kept watching just to see the end of this shit. I'll need 12 hands (one for each saint) to properly facepalm when this show finally ends.Įnjoyment 3/10: At first I was really enjoying this show but as I said before, it goes worse and worse after each episode. On the other hand we have Milo, Aphrodite, Camus and some others doing stupid things or dying in stupid ways. Well, let's be honest: the new personality of Deathmask was a nice and refreshing change. The Gold Saints are mostly dumb and lost, nothing compared with the respected warriors we saw in Hades. If it wasn't for the Soldier Dream song in the opening I would give a solid 0 to this.Ĭharacter 2/10: For anyone who watched the Hades saga (I won't even talk about the glorious Lost Canvas) this show will be a really disappointment. You can predict every word that any character will say. Almost all characters lack emotion when they're talking screaming and the dialogues are extremely superficial and cliché. No! Toei needed to make it extra shitty with the HORRIBLE voice acting. Sound 1/10: The story wasn't shit enough. If you don't believe me then just watch and pay attention especially with the long lasting static scenes (which happens pretty often after epi 5 or 6, can't remember well). Don't expect ANYTHING new, really.Īrt 2/10: It goes down with each episode you watch. They didn't bother to even make an average story. The Sanctuary chapter of the first Saint Seiya. Story 3/10: Although this show starts interesting with the mystery of how and why the Gold Saints were revived, you'll soon notice that this script is just an recycle from MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD (but you shouldn't care since the show is crap anyway) Seriously, I can't understand how many people can be touched by the poisonous hand of nostalgia and give anything above 3 to Saint Seiya: Soul of Gold, so let's get started.
