What I liked in the old series was that it was referring a lot to mythology and astronomy. There were things to be intrigued and do a little research. The gold saints were also mostly impressive, but not all. The new series has everything that was bad and gave nothing good new. All those Japanese guys so concerned about saving a Greek Goddess continues not to make much sense. And that Goddess, all the time powerless and helpless like a character of an SM movie. The evolution remains as bas as: goddess/world in danger, new powerful enemy appear, but those good saints after thinking about their friendship will win against any other God.

What a disappointment that they didn't really try to make something new and better, just copying the past story, changing a bit the costumes and losing the links to mythology. The new protagonists are very dull, especially this Koga guy with red hair, none can relate with. The drawings are awful and cheaply made, the fights are like a little girl's fairy tale with costumes out of crystals and no blood.

The only good news was to see Kikky grown up as Aries saint and Seiya. All the rest is awful.

When I think that they stopped the excellent "Lost Canvas" series to replace it with this, I just want to cry
