Which is Better: The Original Saint Seiya or Lost Canvas?
| I totally agree. Graphics is much better then the one in the first Saint Seiya and, indeed Albafica ( and not only him ) are more interesting then his descendant, (sp?) Aphrodite. When I first saw him, I tough him a girl. -.- I also like their Athena better. I don't know about you, but Saori was getting on my nervs sometimes. |

| The lost canvas hands down. Fights are longer and more spectacular and more development when it comes to the gold saints. |
 |
| I prefer Lost Canvas, but at original Saint Seiya Hades Chapter Sanctuary was very very very good. |

| Well, I can't find a place to read the full original Saint Seiya manga (if anybody can tell me where it'd be MUCH appreciated!) and I hear the licensed English translation is pretty bad. So I can only judge by the anime and assume the manga is better. I like Lost Canvas art infinitely more, and I agree that some of the Gold Saints are more appealing in Lost Canvas (Albafica and Sisyphus stand out to me in particular), plus Tenma is a hell lot less annoying than Seiya. Still, I like the plot better in the original (especially Hades arc), and I developed stronger attachments to characters in the original (maybe because they stayed alive longer? :P), so I voted for the original. |

The lost canvas is the best one than the original. |

| The Lost Canvas, hands down. Not only does it not fallow your typical shonen formula but the side characters get to shine as well. Gold Saints were superb here, loved every one of them. |
 |
| The original one ftw! >8D I really like the 80's humour and the craracters more than the stupid 21th century. Nowadays I just can't stand the 20th and 21th century animes 'cos the cliches are always in every anime etc. I know there are plenty of cliches in 80's animes too but I haven't gotten used to them yet. x'D So for now I'm going to say Saint Seiya. In Lost Canvas the characters are so cliche and can be seen in many different animes too so it's just boring. >__> And in the 80's Saint Seiya I get the feeling that the characters respect each other more than nowadays for example in Lost Canvas. They remember the names of their enemies and speak to them while using their names. Nowadays enemies and the goodies just mock each other and try to looks so cool. |
| mmmm its hard to say... after all i grew up with the original SS, if i were to simply compare them, sure LC is way better in animation, story, character developement, and a lot more things, it even has that spark of epicness that its not usually seen in animes(or mangas) this days, but in my opinion, that old art, that old way to tell a story of the original SS (hell, in my head its still the knights of the zodiac...) is way better, and i (along with many others) wont ever forget it. but still, ask me the names of the original gold saints...aldebaran..death mask..saga..mu..aphrodite..shura..(i spent like 5 mins trying to remember this, but i watched that anime like 10 years ago, and you dont remember side characters for so long) in comparation i belive i wont ever forget these LC gold saints, ever (even some of the specters like kagaho, casshire, violate(loved that woman), mephisto, partiia,radamanthis) in the end, i belive above all LC is better, but we should respect the original SS fore ever at least you can throw shit at SS omega if you want to find an inferior piece(magical boy....saint seiya..) |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| Lost Canvas is better IMO. More character insight, better fights, better art, far fewer asspulls, and several good plot twists. The only things that stand out for me as being drawbacks were the somewhat slow start and the yaoi-ish stuff between Tenma and Alone near the end of the manga. |
| Salmon is delicious. |
| No. While I love Lost Canvas and it was the first anime I watched from the franchise, I find it impossible to beat the Original Manga. While the Original Manga has the greatest of the arcs ever created in the franchise, Lost Canvas has too, but in the half of the manga, it starts dropping in quality. Bluegraad Arc, the Ship of Hope arc and the Malignant Temples arc are boring as hell. I almost drop the manga in episode 160, when Aries Shion is fighting Balrog Lune. It's not until the end that Lost Canvas starts getting better again, with the fight of Gemini Aspros against Mephistopheles Yoma (Kairos). As for the OM, I find it to be always consistent with its work. While Poseidon ant the Tournament Arc could be boring, the Sanctuary Chapter and Hades Chapter are awesome. |
