#Saint seiya lost canvas hypnos series

The OAV ends at an understandable place and of course a sequel has been confirmed and the way it ends just makes you wish to watch that sequel already. The villains are still pretty much the same from the Hades OAVs, but still have their own unique personalities and qualities in which they all stand out. Though they will only have short appearences, they do make a significant contribution to the progression of the story. Some of the Gold Saints have their own central episodes and you get to learn about them.

The series for this season is pretty well evenly paced and I like how it focuses on certain characters in certain episodes, and it's not just exclusively about Tenma. Despite that, I found it very surprising how their relationship develops in the course of this series from bitter rivals, to cooperative partners that will always have each other's backs. They are very similar and yet they are always at each other's throats. The relationship Yato and Tenma have is kind of like a Ranma and Ryoga/Inuyaha and Kouga kind of one. What I also found interesting is that the current incarnation of the Unicorn Bronze Saint, Yato, has a lot more use in comparison to the original series, Jabu. They're both fighters, but they express it in those kinds of ways. To compare the two characters in a nut-shell, Seiya is more like Son Gokuu from Dragon Ball, while Tenma is more like Ranma and Inuyasha with their personalities. However, Tenma isn't exactly a lone wolf, but he does have some help. more as a leader and it was kind of more of a team concept. In the original series, Seiya is portrayed On the outside, Tenma is a lot like Seiya, but has his own unique distinctions and qualities. I'd talk about them, but they'd be spoilers to both Lost Canvas, and oavs to the original series. I thought some things in the last Hades OAV arcs to the original series needed to be elaborated on and Lost Canvas expands on certain specific aspects. Not only is it a prequel, it's a very excellent addition and extension to the original source material.

Obviously in comparison to the original series, Lost Canvas cuts right to the last story arc. I just gave it an 8 because of some fighting scenes that seemed awkward to me.Ĩ because of the same reason as above but overall I really, really enjoy it and I am looking forward to the next season. The relationship between Alone, Tenma and Sasha was also really moving thinking about their present roles. I was wrong! lol xDDĪnother character that surprised me was Alone, that despite everything he continued to cherish his past memories with his friends, deep inside his heart, even in his condition. The same with Yato, which I only thought will be a secondary character that everybody will forget once he gets off screen. The character development of the characters in such a short amount of time was outstanding. Some of the characters, like Pieces and Virgo Gold Saints, even if they appeared in only 2-3 episodes of the series, that was enough to make me fall in love with them. This is one thing that surprised me about this anime. The insert songs between the scenes were good enough to make the right atmosphere so again, nothing to complain about it. I have nothing to complain about the ending though. errr.children-series type of song, thing that's wrong since SY - Lost Canvas is a pretty dark series overall. My inner self was just screaming 'Japanese people! stay away from English please!'. was one of the elements that made me watch this series so you can guess form that how much I enjoyed it xD The design of the characters were fitting and the panoramas were just gorgeous. Include Pegasus in all this and you get a perfect mix of fights, drama and betrayals. The War between Hades and Athena and some dramatic inserts of the two to make it even more enjoyable.

First of all I have to mention that I didn't watch the first Saint Seiya anime series, OVAs andr OADs merely because I wasn't interested in the style or plot, so I wasn't a fan of the series when I started Saint Seya: Lost Canvas.ĭespite this, this anime made me enjoy myself pretty much.
