Saint Seiya: Kamigami no Atsuki Tatakai

This is the 2nd film of the Saint Seiya series which contains much more physical combat, but feels very much like the 1st movie.

The story starts off with Hyoga rescuing a person in need who is then defeated by the movie villains. Afterwards, Athena & the Bronze Saints rendezvous in Asgard where the God Warriors reside in. While it does have similar concepts of the much later Asgard filler arc, the stories & characters are vastly different. In this feature, the God Warriors simply wish for divine conquest & not much of their character are explored with the exception of Frey who could've been the ... primary focus of the movie due to certain Norse mythology.

In terms of visuals, The Heated Battle of Gods maintains the same creativity as the Eris film while placing more emphasis on the characters' hair as various scenes depict strong winds in combat. Another visual feature is Dolbar's Odin Shield which causes the background to change color on a repetitive basis but pleasing to the eyes.

One of the stylish choices of Saint Seiya is the usage of projectile based fighting, however the film decided to go with more physical hand-to- hand combat. Much of the fight scenes benefited from this use but sadly contains the same flaws as the first movie; the battles ending very quickly. While there was a movie highlight being a fight between Hyoga & Shiryu, it leaves fans wanting for more. One of the benefits of this movie is the villain Dolbar who actually battles in this movie who unlike Eris in her film didn't display any intimidating prowess. Lastly, the music in this film stands out more than the previous one with the signature theme being played via harmonica.

Saint Seiya: The Heated Battle of Gods is a quick but pleasing movie displaying the good attributes of the Saint Seiya series. My personal cons to the film were the lack of more character traits as the Bronze Saints don't really express much personality in these feature films. Also, there wasn't enough scenes featuring Phoenix Ikki. Good movie with great visuals & a very atmospheric music score.

1/1 Movie Watched. (Español Disponible)
It feels so much like the first movie, but there's some interesting things I saw through the movie
1. The bronze Cloths are the same as in the first movie, it kind like it doesn't have a place in the timeline.
My thoughts are that this movie is right after the first because of that.
2.They presents Freya from the Asgard Saga but there's no evidence that Freya and Hilda had another brother. We see a little Freya but they don't give us any kind of hint from this.
3. Here is a Representant of Odin in Asgard that was named Dolbar, and the ... bronze saints defeated him and then Hilda of Polaris take his place all before the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Saga then Asgard Saga, it seems to happen like all in the begining, that will make sense because they didn't know about who was Hilda of Polaris at the beginning.
4.It's kind like being a cliché in this movies to the Golden Cloth of Sagitarius Aioro's always like to be the hero's for this type of movie, it's the second time that happens exaclty the same.
5. In overall this cronologically doesn't have any place in the anime, but it's a great movie to enoy.

1/1 Película vista.
Se parece mucho a la primera película, pero hay algunas cosas interesantes que vi a través de la película.
1. Los Cloths de bronce son los mismos que en la primera película, es como si no tuvieran un lugar en la línea de tiempo.
Mi pensamiento es que esta película es inmediatamente posterior a la primera por eso.
Presentan a Freya de la saga Asgard, pero no hay evidencia de que Freya e Hilda tuvieran otro hermano. Vemos un poco de Freya pero no nos dan ningún tipo de pista de esto.
3. Aquí hay un Representante de Odin en Asgard que se llamaba Dolbar, y los santos de bronce lo derrotaron y luego Hilda de Polaris tomó su lugar inmediatamente después de ello, para luego entrar en la Saga de Asgard, eso tendrá sentido porque no sabían quién era Hilda de Polaris al principio.
4) Es como ser un cliché en estas películas que aparezca la Armadura Dorada de Sagitario. A Aioros siempre le gusta ser el héroe de este tipo de películas, es la segunda vez que sucede exactamente lo mismo.
5. En general, esto cronológicamente no tiene ningún lugar en el anime, pero es una gran película para disfrutar.
