I never watched the old series in total...but a friend of mine gave me a DVD some time ago with some anime in spanish dub (which I don't understand) and I think it was Saint Seiya. Title was Caballeros del zodiaco or something like that and it were only the first 25 episodes. So i never really got into it right, but seeing that this seems to follow a original story kinda interested me. Unfortunately though the first episode was really boring and I need to watch one or two episodes to possibly change my opinion.
On the other hand it would be a good idea to look for the old series, because I'm really into 70s/80s anime right now like City Hunter or Fist of the North star etc.

Pretty much. It's all about reincarnation in those shows, that's why Tenma and Seiya look alike too.

So much shounen. Watching them fight with these attacks with lolnames feels so fucking shounen. Wouldn't be too interesting if not for the old series, but it feels nostalgic, really nostalgic. Therefore i'm sure gonna continue with it.

Hate the character design :S but i´ll give it a chance xD, is SS after all.
Love the OP :3

The connection I see is that in the original Saint Seiya, the cloths represented constellations, the gold armor Seiya wears is Sagitarius and he previously wore the Pegasus cloth that represented the Pegasus constellation. And you know, constellations are made of stars, stars are present in outer space and all that makes the universe... but afterwards in the series it will be used like just another mental power, it's just Kurumada's trying of making something different mixing the constellation thing and mental powers.

Now I've never finished the original SS, but I remember watching it dubbed on TV a few times and from my childhood memories, it was damn cool.

Even though the art is totally Heartcatch Precure, it was still an enjoyable first ep. Nevertheless I expect some awesome stuff from this.

More or less so, except that the degree each can unlock the power depends on experience.

The gold saints are known to release quantity of energy comparable to a small-scale supernova. Some high-level attacks are similar to black holes and can create sub-dimensions as well.

It was alright. I probably need to watch it again.

The original manga had lot of changes done to it in the anime adaption. For example almost all of the Gold Saints in the original manga were blondes except for four of them: Libra Dohko had black hair; changed to reddish/brown in the anime. Shura is naturally black hair, never changed in the anime. Deathmask has silver/grey hair, sort of changed to a purplish/blue color in the anime. And Camus is a red-head but was altered to blue in the anime to go with his cyromancing powers.

The only Gold Saint that naturally kept his blonde hair in the manga to anime was Shaka. They changed everyone else from a blonde to different colors to make them stand out more: Geminis got dark-bluish hair, Aiolos and his younger brother Aiolia got to become light brunettes, Mu and Shion got pink-purple and lime-green hair respectively, same with Aphrodite getting a light cyan hair color.

They also changed Athena's brown hair to purple as well as the general colors of the main Bronze Saints Cloths. In the manga, Ikki has a orange colored Phoenix Cloth and is a Bronze Saint. In the anime, its changed to be mostly blue with maroon, and a bit of orange in it and since he's a few years older then the rest of the main 4, is titled as a Silver Saint. The God/Divine Cloths? All of the Bronze Saints had a gold color (lol) just with wings and more orientation over the Gold Cloths, in the anime? Smartly changed to be colored closer to their original Cloths.

Now that is exciting and worth the notion "OVER 9000" compared to many other ones in animes, this series has got to be the one where a lot have that kind of power. Another thing I like of it.

i cant really stand the character combat movements. even if its old school it is still annoying.

Pretty strange beginning with an unimpressive animation to say the least (even some wrong cuts and errors from time to time meaning not many people are working on the series and/or management is kind of lax) but at the same time, the Saint Seiya spirit is still there thanks to Umakoshi's amazing contribution (it was even closer to Casshern Sins - directed by Saint Seiya the movies' Yamauchi - than it was to Saint Seiya) and the great OST by Toshihiko Sahashi (that never did any Saint Seiya but is still a very good composer that proved with SEED and DESTINY he can work on follow-up to classic series). Well, I don't know where it'll go from now on but it was at least interesting, not as good as Lost Canvas recently, but still worth the watch.

HorribleSubs is subbing:

However, they have a bad habit of cutting out the "next episode preview" parts of the episodes they sub.

Tsuki is subbing it. So you have OP lyrics subtitles now. Episode preview is there too.

It looks like Casshern sins and same voice actor for seiya. :[

King Bradley lol

I never watched the original SS. I think I only watched one or two episodes but that was like years ago >.>

I love the old school feel to this ^-^ I'll probably watch the original once I finish this or when I have time, which ever comes first.

Ahh~ How i've missed this show~

Once i sat down to watch it, it was hit with a rush of notalgia. It took me a while to figure out why the OP was familiar, until i realized it was from the original saint seiya~

Im glad they kept with the same art syle too~ it made it all that more special to me~

I cant wait for the next episode~

Actually the art reminded me of Casshern Sins. But the costumes are so funny. they look like drag-queens costumes.

Btw am i missing something here because i haven't seen the old series Just asking because we got some bad guy jumping out of nowhere and some saint guy fighting him but no explanation what all those stuff are.

Oh man, this was bad. I don't even know if I can push myself to watch anymore.

Just one thing about Shaina :
Am I the only one who's always astonished at Shaina's beauty whenever she loses her mask ?
Is it some "What is hidden always looks better when revealed"-kind of trick ?
