| Replying after almost a year lol After such a long time, and especially after the disgraceful Saint Seiya Omega, it was nice to watch a Saint Seiya animation. Although this series was far from perfect, it was pleasant to see the golden saints portrayed in a more modern style. Definitely, more elements of Norse mythology could have been explored, and the narrative was too simplistic. Nonetheless, as a Saint Seiya fan, I am happy to take whatever Saint Seiya content they are willing to give us. As there is pretty much no more hope that they will ever finish the original series. |

| Was expecting cheap schlock (especially since I watched Saintia Shou before this), but honestly it was a pretty nice shot of fanservice. Definitely still had its problems -- the animation was pretty lacking, there was a lot of typical loose shounen logic, and a few of the Gold Saints didn't really get to shine -- but I'm pretty happy with it for what it was. For a single cour juggling 12 characters and an entire new conflict/the Asgardians, it did what it could. Besides, if I couldn't swallow some cool nonsense I never would've made it through this series in the first place. As someone who watched through this series over the past 3 years, it's a surprisingly satisfying place to end. Elysion didn't really feel like much of an ending anyways (not to mention the Heaven Chapter movie felt like pulling teeth), so I appreciate getting a little more time with the series. I definitely needed one last romp around with the Gold Saints. Until I feel like reading all the manga someday, this'll sate me. Probably more of a 6/10, but I'm feeling generous and I solidly enjoyed it throughout, so 7/10. Technically I still have Omega left but... do I really wanna watch ~100 episodes of Saint Seiya Boruto... |
| I think it was mid as fuck, but I still gave it a 7, because it's not complete garbage and it's physically impossible for me to score it any lower. My final thoughts are that the franchise would greatly benefit from being handled by a company that isn't TOEI. |
