Well, it was a really good episode. Far better than the second one, with more battles, more developments as well as a good direction and animation overall. I'm impressed by the vocal cast (Tetsuya Kakihara, Aya Hirano, Jun Fukuyama, Nana Mizuki.....) too.

Loved it! The animation, background, voices, everything was just awesome. I really liked the way they adapted the encounter between Dohko and Kagaho. The latter's special attack looked great!Also, I was able to appreciate the music this time around. I can't wait to watch OVA 4 subbed.

Not bad.

How come Douko didn't notice Hades after he attacked Yato?

I don't know, didn't really like the voice actor of Kagaho. (wth Lelouch?!)

Finally I managed to watch the new episodes.

I really liked how they expanded the silver saint part, they managed to give a bit of character development to secondary characters that had no more than 3-pages on the manga.
A little extra character development for Yato too.
Overall the more I'm looking to this series the more I am impressed with the direction: the pace is excellent and the fighting scenes manage to be very fast, impressive without being dragged forever.

Everything else was 100% faithful to the manga and very well directed.
We had the first Tenma/Hades confrontation and Kagaho's introduction.
Is Jun Fukuyama Kagaho's voice actor?
It is quite the opposite of his usual roles, a strange choice, yet he is still another voice acting star joining the production.
I can only say that I am again impressed by the voice acting of Meiou Shinwa.

About the animation level Shion's Starlight Extinction was better than the Stardust Revolution, but still pretty simple compared to Doukos' and Tenma's animations; it seems to me that the studios is cutting corners on the animations of Shion probably due to his somewhat secondary character status.
Pegasus Ryuseiken is okay.

The musical aspect was still somewhat lacking in this episode.

You bet it is!
FukuJun's voice is so strong that everyone recognises *-*~
And he's doing a lighter version of Lelouch's [Zero style] tone for Kagaho...

Oh God, I'm starting to love Saint Seiya again <3

and why is Alone so damn sexy???~

This Athena is too just sad, Hades is an awesome looking villain, I like his hair tails.

I demand more of Kagaho vs Dohko on next episodes.

Merciless Alone is badass, he defeated Tenma in a heartbeat. Doko met his rival.

"The unicorn uniform I worked so hard for"
My sides. Costumes look really either stupid or generic. Except for Athena's ans Pandora's.

So they really want to fuck up those names huh? Hah-desu, Ah-tenna, Karburus.
Damn you Japan.

Of course, evil men inform you that they turned side and then explain it to you, after bothering with infiltration.

Still can't get over Alone's jarring edgy-turnaround.

Poor Silver Saints. They are supposed to be quite strong (not on the level of the Golds, but still with a considerable level), and they always end up being the fodders of Athena's army. It's very pitiable.

I didn't remember Alone being that badass when watched the series for the first time, but he sure it is. The way he killed Tenma was awesome. Shimono's voice acting is definetely good, for someone who has voiced a lot of characters in comedy series, he sure knows to perform a good bad guy.
I also noticed Tenma's voice has "Natsufied" a bit since the last episode. I welcome the change, since it fits his hot-blooded nature quite well.

Lmao Yato, thinks he is strong enough to go to the mission, just to be brutally raped by Alone seconds after reaching to Tenma's hometown. The fate of the Unicorn Saint has never been fortunate, I fear.

Kagaho's with Lelouch voice was really hilarious. Don't get me wrong, I love Jun Fukuyama, but he sounds really funny, and more when he goes ham mode. The clash with Dohko was short, but really spectacular.
I was surprised to see familiar faces in the reunion of the Specters (baring the Three Judges) that I didn't recognized during my first watch such as Frog Zelos, Rock Golem, Minotaurus Gordon... Rewatching the Hades OVAs of the classic series was sure a good idea.

And, while Minos and his squad (+ Kagaho) goes to the Sanctuary to kill Athena, a mysterious figure appears in front of Yato and Tenma's corpse. I wonder who she is hehehe...

Dat cameo of Seiya and his friends at the beginning, btw.

What are the chances of 3 people from the same Orphanage being involved in the big picture.
Two became Gods and one becomes a Saint, must be a small world.

The story is not bad (nor great), though the directing is quite disapointing. The way all the revelations appear and the reactions of the characters were extremely rushed to a point that I couldn't empathize at all with the characters. Tenma showed much more emotion by trying to save its hometown in the first episode than now, when found that everyone was slaughtered. I hope the fights are good, because so far I cannot expect much for the storytelling.
