| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Rushed endings are nothing new to Jump, but at Saint Seiya went out with a pretty exciting last couple of chapters. And even is subsequent entries in the series, have..."nullified" Seiya's demise, it was still an exciting end to an exciting manga. |
| At last, around 20 years after I finished watching "Saint Seiya" anime for the first time, I managed to finish its manga! :-) What can I say? Really decent shounen, although there were many things that anime did better. Nevertheless, it is the source material. From this manga everything began and it was a good starting point for anime to not only adapt certain chapters, but maybe fix some of scenes from the manga as well. |

| I was really loving this final arc until the very last chapter. We needed some kind of epilogue and the story fizzled out at the last second that there wasn't really any opportunity to let any of the events breathe. I loved everything that happened from how Hades was defeated to Seiya's sacrifice but we just needed one more chapter to rectify it. Overall it's a very flawed series that shows it's age. Fantastic few arcs, drags in the middle, but would've ended in an amazing spectacle if it stuck the final landing. The fights are pretty engaging when they're executed well but it can feel samey since all of the attacks and character designs tended to blend together. 6/10 for me but I still enjoyed it. |
| @TheFireNinja The abruptness (and the overall rythm of the final part of their travel in Hell) is due to the manga's cancellation. Kurumada was given the privilege to have a decent space (two volumes) to give a finale to his current "war" (probably thanks to his historical value for the magazine) but nothing more. Likewise, the TV series was interrupted around that period. At the time I read the manga, I simply went with the idea that the Bronze Saints died/got stuck in the crumbling dimension of Hades, Athena staying with them. It seemed fitting. As for how it actually was in the mangaka's mind... No need to thank me, it's a pleasure to see young people still reading this manga (I know it's no Dragon Ball whose style can endure the test of time). I hope you'll have a good time with "Tenkai-hen josô - Overture" (film) or "Next Dimension" (manga), whatever sequel you choose to check. |
