What is the actual appeal of Saint Seiya?
Oliver Cook
Jaxon Torres
it’s super sentai with bishies
Christopher Bell
Is that Zodiac warriors? I used to watch that shit like forever ago
Samuel Wright
It is really shallow, sadly. The entire point of some dudes fighting among themselves is too self-centered.
Daniel Butler
manly shit, mythology, pretty boys, blood and selling toys.
Jace Johnson
It's a little bit of both. It's above average, but mainly because it's carried by a memorable Sanctuary arc that doesn't start until the latter half. First time watchers are likely to just wonder what's the big deal during the first half slog and nostalgiafags are likely to forget the weaker early parts.
Luke King
It was good for its time, though the anime did many mistakes
Blake Hernandez
knights of the Zodiac
Jeremiah Mitchell
So my options for dvd releases are either ~20gb or 305gb heavy? What's up with that?
William Bennett
why are the toys so damn expensive?
Anthony Rivera
For me it was mostly nostalgia and noting influences. The actual content itself wasn't worth a rewatch. If anything, rewatching it seriously as an adult kinda destroyed the fondness I'd developed for it as a child.
Isaac Clark
some episodes had some top tier aesthetics, and the music was just right
Ian Rogers
They master the art of building up an attack by talking trash to each other.

They are usually of higher quality than the average action figure, also the whole premise of the series is the Saints wearing their Cloths (armor) to battle, many characters have extremely complex Cloths and the toys adapt every single detail in these armors for you to tinker with.

Mason Bailey

>Is x actshually good?
I don't get it. Just look at it and decide for yourself.

The Saint Seiya anime was a game-changer for direction and screenwriting. Without it we wouldn't have Dragonball Z as we know it.
>Around the same time, Saint Seiya was a very popular anime. This was interesting because the Saint Seiya manga was rather average but the anime by comparison was a lot better. So I wanted to know why the Saint Seiya anime was doing so well and we did some research on that. We found that there were two key figures. The first was Kouzou Morishita, who was the director, and the second was Takao Koyama, who wrote the script. So I visited these two guys and asked them if they'd help me reboot Dragon Ball and they both agreed.

oh, I was going to include the picture, but it's too big for the board.

it's hard to say if it aged well or not. on one hand it's better than any of the shonenshits of the past two or three decades, on the other it has serious seinfeld syndrome where you've seen all the tropes and cliches done before so it comes off super generic and bland.
