I have been a fan of Saint Seiya since the original version came out and I was looking forward to this show. Instead, this show was just garbage. From Shun transforms into a woman (guess what, he dresses in pink! Of course, he turned to a woman, duh! -.-) to the art concept was horrendous, even the plot can't save us from ameliorating the show. It just American, nonsensical version of Saint Seiya, like the Death Note. I would give -5 stars if I could.
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?

The point of Shun in the series was to show that men can be delicate and sensitive and wear pink and there is nothing wrong about that. They completely missed the point of the character and what it represents by turning him into a woman.
There was so much potential here.. Horrible decision! I started it but I can't continue watching it. Whoever had this idea, needs to be fired asap.
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.
