Seinto Seiya: The Lost Canvas - Meiô Shinwa

Then this anime series is the prequel to Saint Seiya this is set in the year 1800 So I didn't like this series but it's not much worse than the others So for me the plot isn't done very well and the mini characters So I don't understand why there is in this seriesthere are only three Knights who defend Athena in the original there were five and then against the bad guys they are not interesting at all The only positive thing about this anime is the animation This is the only thing that saves but one thing that I really can't to understand How come in the original seriesAthena said that this was her incarnation of a human being But in this she was already deceived some time ago in a human being you would like to say that Athena incarnates every century and then what concerns the golden knights I really can't understand some things like the knights of Aries and theLibra They shouldn't have been the only survivors of the great war Because the knights of the lion can only be seen in these seconds and do nothing because the knight of the scorpion is the one from aquarius The only thing they do is chat and above all because there is no 'and theknight of the twins this anime was just useless for me and also in this anime there should have been another story but the authors really decided to stop right here Yes yes because the manga was still continuing I didn't like this anime but it's better than other worse ones souls that concernSaint seiya to conclude vote 5.

It's such a shame that TMS didn't continue this series because the art and animation was captivating. The fights were so fun to watch and this anime kept me on the edge of my seat. I also read the manga. I wish the anime was continued so we can see epic fights between the saints like Regulus and Radamanthys.

And with that I mean one specific aspect: the fact that this series is clearly an attempt to give to the fans of the original '80 Toei classic a copious amount of fanservice by showing the version they wanted of certain characters...without understanding practically nothing of them, or at least what made them interesting to their fans in the first place. The absolute main offender being Albafica of pisces, who is what the non-fans of the poet warrior Aphrodite Pisces from Saint Seiya and the Youth of The Crimson Blood movie wanted without understanding what made him compelling to me and other people to begin with. Other gold cloths are not treated differently, in particular the other favourite of mine Virgo, and there are also copious amounts of continuity errors such as athena female saints removing their masks because reasens. On a side note, the OST is barely fit for a Saint Seiya product IMHO, reeking too much of bog-standard medieval fantasy tones and not enough of greek-inspired tunes. Better than the snooze-inducing, CGI infested Hades Chapter because of its fluid animation but still not really worthy of appreciation overall.

The best successor to the Saint Seiya myth. This is an OVA series.

Incredible graphics and animation. A beautiful soundtrack. The series remains dynamic with no downtime and a plot that unfolds with each episode.

I can't help but draw a parallel with the Netflix series Knights of the Zodiac, one of the worst series on this theme ever made.

The story fits perfectly with the rest of the mythology.

Ambitious animation that would have deserved a sequel.

This series only covers 1/3 of the original manga, which was unfortunately halted by studio TMS Entertainment for lack of revenue.

What a shame! Proof that money doesn't always go hand in hand with art!

The graphics, the music, the characters are all great. It's ashamed that the show was cancelled :( I've rewatched TLC sooo many times and wish the show would be continued on...
