Seinto Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac

Oh boy, what to say? I wish I could point out positive and negative things on the new series, but the truth is that there's no positives.

-There's no improvement over the original series plotwise, but the the netflix series compresses so much in only 6 episodes, that the characters end up being shallow, and a lot of character development of the original series is left out. -The new cloth design is a joke compared to the V1 the characters should be wearing (and don't get me started on the dog tags). -The quality of the animation is terrible. CG needs to be much more dark and grittier to look good on a show like this; This was obviosly made for children and not for the fans of the original series. -The comic relief of the show isn't actually funny. -What's up with the ridiculous name changes on the translation from japanese?

An insult to the lore and feel of a great manga. Saint seiya deserves better

Horrendous graphics, zero drama, Netflix didn't even understood that the music was a central piece of this series.

It's not unwatchable, just Americanized. Bad dialogue and corny. It's enjoyable but don't expect the original. I personally preferred the 3D animation of the last movie.

Worst. dialogue. ever.

My wife loved the original. But we couldn't even get through episode 2. They literally narrate everything they do, including describing the gestures their own hands are making as they make them. It's so on the nose, literal and leaves nothing to the imagination.

For example, a snippet of conversation during battle with a bad guy:

"I think I'm stronger, faster and smarter than you. That is why I will am continuing to fight you. Oh no, you are using your hands to make an 8 pointed star in a power attack. Oh no, I must get out of the way. Don't go near your attack. I do not believe what you are saying. Oh no, what you just said is true and I believe it now"
