I'm starting to doubt if I can do this for a 110 chapters, but well...

Good points:
- It's funny that back in chapter 3 Saori is sure Seiya will return to her tournament cause "it's his star destiny"... Then you see Miho gaving Seiya a sound and logical reason to participate...

Ymmv points:
- Yep the introduction of the tournament with wireless screens and Saori walking above the stars... Nowadays when everyone keeps saying "it's CG!", it's refreshing to see people asking "How they do this?"
- The fact that they have a computerized system to measure the Saint power that goes full wireless... It was ok for heat readings but weight and sheer strength? You could say that there are chips inside their really analogic cloths and that all info output is sent via infrared and it's a plot convenience they can collect the reading in real time... I guess?

Bad points:
- By the way the Pandora boxes were displayed in chapter 3. I had this little hypothesis that the boxes COULD be ordered for arrival order. If you should take the manga reading order , left to right into account, you can see that the first two boxes are Dragon and Andromeda, what should explain why the two were seeded in the tournament... For how much time this bugged me? But nope. Here we learn it was a stupid draw, two of them were favored by chance, four of them burdened with an extra fight by chance, very well done Kurumada-sensei, it will bug me forever now)
- And in the next page they go and shove Cygnus and Phoenix randomly into the left brackets cause nobody cares about the two... In fact they just were spoiled as the last two... contestantsreading as meta and into hindsight you can say that the tournament was just planned that way since the start (read as rigged), that the tournament ended prematurely anyway, and that no one really cared about who got to crush the hydra and the wolf

Fuck these Viz scans. The translated sound effects cover so much. I'd go full fan scans, except it seems Viz is the only full translation.
