The art is on par with what had been seen in Hades arc, so acceptable modern style. We also have some saints which were just overlooked in previous sagas as evil (Cancer & Pisces) being redeemed here. The original cast of actors is also there (except the ones in the afterlife, RIP), and although some sound very old, in this case its very enjoyable for obvious reasons (pure fanservice).
SAINT SEIYA SOUL OF GOLD SAGITTARIUS AMAZON SERIES
However, despite all this, the series is still pure enjoyment for the Saint Seiya fan. In addition, the personality of the saints is noticeably less "imposing" than they were in the sanctuary arc. But then again, this was done already in the Hades arc. The story does retcon some things, and especially obvious is the fact that the Gold Saints seem a little cheapened compared to their glory days in Sanctuary. In other words, a fairly cookie-cutter arc with good guys and villains, and a storyline just there for fights to happen. I believe that the story was on par with something like the Asgard or Poseidon arc. So this story is essentially just an excuse to have the Gold Saints fight their own saga, andĪlso give honor to the series in general. The Gold saints were always badass characters, and I think it was always a secret wish to have them as heroes instead of the 5 bronze saints we got instead. This anime is essentially a spinoff featuring the Gold Saints of the original storyline. I was initially negative about watching this, after reading the many negative reviews, but I was pleased to have watched it anyway, as a long time fan of one of the best shounen anime of all times, Saint Seiya. 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. This is my first review and after seen how awful this anime is and that inexcusable 7+ rate I felt that a review was needed to tell everyone the truth: THIS SHOW IS AWFUL!
