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.
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"

Very bad remake. Saint Seiya is a legendary anime. It has created a wonderful memory for me. The producer is clearly under qualify and does not understand why children/people around the world love this anime. Helicopter, generic dark saint, cartoon like CGI, underwhelming fight scene etc.
These characters are legendary. You change it's name to some generic name..
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.

- TriviaShun's depiction as a female changes the original mythology in which female Saints were forced to hide their faces in masks to renounce their femininity. The spin-off "Saint Seiya: Saintia Sho" also deviated from such rule by introducing the Saintias ("Holly Fighting Girls"), Athena's devoted handmaids.
