And now, i want some tears of anger because a lot of guys didn't wanted that, found Lost Canvas is better and other stuff.
Thanks. :D

Not "tears of anger" per se but maybe this will suffice:
They could certainly invest in something more worthwhile. But then again I can't wait to see if they are really going to copy the Asgard arc or try something new (they will do Asgard 2013, calling it now).

I don't even have the words to describe on what I feel. All that I can say is that its not pretty.

If there was ONE thing that deserved getting cancelled, its this rip off of a show.

im sad now



TMS please pick Lost Canvas :(

Really wish they would just go ahead and finish it since the manga is over with. All the epic stuff happens after the second season of OVAs. I want to see Regulus animated so badly.

As for Omega watched the first couple episodes it was alright I guess. =/

Why couldn't they have continue like this with Lost Canvas cause this 1 is the worse saint seiya ever.

I support and I am happy for the success of Omega, this coming from someone that grew up with Saint Seiya and that yes, I also prefer The Lost canvas, yet, this is not as bad as you make it sound to be, yest. Disappointing in so many fronts when you compare it to the classic or more recent hades and obviously lost canvas, particualrly the designs and evidently clothes, BUT better than many anime currently airing however.

So instead of omega what is more worthwhile? Series like Jojo, Stains;Gate, Shin sekai Yori, Uchuu Kyoudai, are produced rarely at the current times, so what, more generic fanservice and moe? NO THANK YOU.

Regulus is my fav gold saint, his fight with Radamanthys is best saint seiya fight imo

Omega is bad but ill admit that its kinda fun, Sonya was a surprisingly interesting character but still this doesnt need a sequel, 50 eps are more than enough

The sequel its most likely bew a new arc, new story, enemy enemy.

And yes, I too found Omega fun, enjoyable even, once I left my prejudice and understood it was not a series to please me(us) veteran fans and to boot it was aiming to children. Once I finally accepted that I found it not that bad and was able to enjoy it till now, it happened very early as I my love for SS made me be more positive than negative, and this also means it can gather the new insteres and blood it was aiming for and who know, TMS can very well resume the Lost Canvas now that interest has been build further now.

Since this its emulating the classic SS, as pointed above, seeing how Mars arc was so similar to Galactic tournament and 12 temples, it would not be strange that the new arc is Asgard or since that was filler, Poseidon.

Also for those disappointed with Omega, I think its sure to say the CG movie will be directed at us veteran fans, so looking forward to it.

Have to add your rant everywhere you post, huh? As if Steins;Gate and Shinsekai Yori do not have generic moe... It is just that you somehow tolerate them, nothing else.

It is indeed not clear how successful Saint Seiya Omega is because it did not get much talk among fans in Japan. If this new "chapter" of anime (not sure if it is a new season) was decided because of any success of the anime, it would be more due to its booster effect on the manga or the merchandise, not the sales of anime itself.

Oh!!!! Wished to see more Lost Canvas but great that Omega is continueing

@ Like you are the defender of moe at the least provocation.

And yes, by now I know very well your gimmick of "not enough evidence" so wont bother much.

I am however happy to tell you SS is of the couple series in which western interest -Latin America /Europe- beats any Japan reaction or non reactions. Go inform yourself about SS, how big is on those western lands (DBZ level) and what was the main or one of the reason the whole franchise was rebooted a decade ago and has continued till now in the form of manga - anime -games.

So in short SS is not made for Japan at all, thou you seem to not know the ratings of Omega 1.4 / 2.6 (6:30 am Sunday), in average from normal to good for its time-slot, probably one of the reason the anime was extended but no, it also improved over the ratings of Digimon Xross Wars. I dont work for Toei so cannot give you the precise first hand data to avoid your usual "its not clear", it does not take genius or be involved in the project to analyze and guess the evident thou.

You also seem to not know SS is one of the top sources of foreign income for Toei due to western sales.

Describing Shinsekai Yori as "generic" in anyway is hilarious misuse of words.

How about you are the moe hatred spiller at the least pretext?
Or better: you never able to provide backup to what you claim, so you rely on the gimmick of simply restating the same attack line time and again.

Well, SS was once really big in Japan and outside Japan as well. But that was then. If you want to talk about SS Omega, then I am just going to repeat what I said in my last post: the anime itself got little attention in Japan. As I said, there may be other good reasons for SS Omega to go for a new "chapter" (it does not say it will be a TV series, so I would avoid using the term "season") but anime sales is definitely not one of them.

I think you are likely to overestimate how much SS made for Toei from overseas market. What we do know from the industry news from anime business people is that foreign source of revenue contributes only very tiny part of their overall revenue. So even if your claim that SS is one of the top source of foreign income is true, it does not amount to much, and of course we don't even know how you get that claim from, much less your claim that SS Omega (or even SS itself) was not made for Japan at all.

Note that I did not say Shinseakai Yori is generic. If you read my post with some care, you should know I am saying there is "generic moe" in Shinsekai Yori.

None of them. They are just ruining the original Saint Seiya for the money.

Bah!According to the comments beds in the sites I frequent,I should abandon the idea of looking at it.Oh well I'll give him a chance. ^^"

Thanks for the news.

I agree with you 100% and I also grew up with Seiya and this show hasn't been bad as people make it out to be.




That fight is so epic that is also one of my favorites in the SS verse. BTW Regulus is a boss... arguably the strongest gold saint in LC.

everyone want lost canvas instead of this.
