Saint Seiya: Jashin Eris

This is the first Saint Seiya movie & probably the best one out the original 4 feature films. Saint Seiya Evil God Eris is a short film with a good blend of fighting & animated visuals which should leave you wanting more. If' you're new to Saint Seiya, this a good exposure to begin the anime as it displays much of the series personal style, however the characters aren't as identifiable as the anime.

All of the Saint Seiya movies have basically the same plot (much like the anime) being to rescue the Goddess Athena & defeat the villain & his minions. While the plot may ... be repetitive & works smoothly in this film as it has a very fast pace & goes straight to the point while highlighting each character's signature techniques.

Out of all the movies, this might have the most ambitious visuals due to various contrasts in color such as Eris blonde or blue hair when she stands nest to Athena who has purple hair. Much of the film plays with the color schemes making it a visual treat much like the anime series.

The only real cons to the film are the fights ending very quickly and doesn't display much personality to the characters other than its shonen tropes of friendship, effort & victory. An okay feature to start the series as it doesn't spoil anything to the original storyline; where our bronze saints are more fleshed out with their personalities & commitments of being a saint. As for already established Saint Seiya fans, the animation quality is worth watching for a few times.

This is the st ova installement of saint seiya, and the first saint seiya anime i was introduced to , and boy it made me STRAIGHT ON hooked at the serie´s and later on the whole franschise ( i've seen so far all the ova's , and am busy with the 1980's serie's before Omega come's to pass)
The first time for me immediatly gave a sense that i've seen the concept and big parts of the storyline before in other serie's , Ronin warriors, Shurato ect.ect wich was moderatly simmilair to it, and populair. The art in here is definetly 1980's with a ... small sense of the so called greek-curly-art at some point to add on the story. The story is not too shabby and is quite fast , but understandable and connectable. maybe not everybody's likings compared to todays anime but i like it ! period! good music-action scene's thats fitting with the main chara in througout the show. every chara in this has a story to tell, wether good or bad just like in the serie's, with some violent resolve to it, and i din't expect that this was way more violent than i thought, give's it more fun to it. and a shitload of dramaplay!! :)

1/1 Movie Watched. (Español Disponible)
If you're watching this continuing the Saint Seiya's Anime in order to finish all Saint Seiya's anime raleted stuff, this is a good movie, it doesn't have like a WOW Storyline, because this happens I think in the begining of the original Saint Seiya Anime, the fist one released in 1986-1989. The secuence with this movie is a few chapters from the begining and then is this movie, and later into the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Saga then Asgard Saga and later Posseidon Saga until now. I'm watching this anime in order of relesase.
Meanwhile the art and the sound ... are great quality and the good thing is we didn't have to wait like 15 episodes for each fight, its 45min you can watch while you eat, wash the dishes or making loundry. In Overall it's good to watch.

1/1 Película vista.
Si estás viendo esto continuando con el Anime de Saint Seiya para terminar todas las cosas del anime de Saint Seiya, esta es una buena película, no tiene una historia WOW, porque esto sucede creo que al comienzo del Saint Seiya el anime original. La secuencia con esta película son algunos capítulos desde el principio y luego está esta película, y más tarde en las 12 casas de la saga del zodíaco, luego en la saga Asgard y más tarde en la saga Posseidon hasta ahora. Estoy viendo este anime en orden de lanzamiento.
Mientras tanto, el arte y el sonido son de gran calidad y lo bueno es que no tuvimos que esperar como 15 episodios por cada pelea, son 45 minutos que puedes ver mientras comes, lavas los platos o haces la colada. En general, es bueno verlo.
