I really feel like I'm watching an old show... like not something made in 2015... the animation is just a bit... so so...

Aiolia sure looked like the big main in the OP...

And lol that girl looking for water... couldn't she have taken some snow and melt it??

Now if the various scenes in the opening have an actual meaning...
I seriously want to see Aiolos working with Aphrodite and Death Mask and straightening out that duo.

Also a Saga/Mu/Douko Athena Exclamation would be sorta overkill.

Even Omega had better fights than this. I mean Harbiger versus Titan was pretty good. Too bad the low budget is killing this anime made to sell toys only...

If you guys watch the first episode of classic Asgard arc ( where Aldebaran gets one shot in a second ), you may see that the quality is so much better.

Still, Soldier Dream is always epic.

It is Toei. Forget about good fights.

The episode was pretty good. I am waiting for the next one. Was nice to see all these references to Asgard and Hades chapter.

As expected: Horrible animation, script and OST. But this is TOEI, an animation company that lives to serve Bandai and make excuses for new merchandise, so no surprise here. It is good to see the Gold Saints again in fan service fashion but the Omega influence tastes really bad for me. Just another anime made purely to cash in from the nostalgia of the fans in a really bad way.

Script was never good even in original to begin with. And I think that Omega actually had a better plot than original Saint Seiya, but whatever.

The best thing in this episode was seeing Milo in the end for, like, 10 seconds.

Still didn't give me interest, but I'll keep watching it.

I wish Ikeda Shuuichi was still Milo.

Anyway, I really liked how they paid homage to the second opening this time.

I wonder if it will end with the Gold Saints losing their armor while the Bronze saints are fighting Hypnos and Thanatos.

I really liked this chapter. I always wanted the Gold Saints to actually have action and I love to see them. The new cloths are awesome, I just hope they don't get shattered as pressumably they will.

And I wonder how they plan to explain these enemies that can beat even the omnipotent Gold Saints. In the end Aiolia & co. win, of course, but those guys have to be really strong to be able to fight them

They already explained it by one of Asgard warriors stating that they get power from their motherland - Asgard, as well as from the tree of Yggdrasil. In this episode another God Warrior was shown experimenting on people by stealing their powers and energy and putting it in Yggdrasil to power it and God Warriors (including himself) up as well.

One thing I'm worried about is the simple numbers aspect. 12 gold saints vs 7 god warriors I mean really? The only way to make up for it is to have more goldvs gold but they already did that in the ova. Also its biweekly ugh if you were going to do that at least make it ova time and do 40 minutes.

At this second episode, one thing I found very "inacurate" is Dohko's behavior. It is fine he is again the 18 years age kid, but inside he is more than 200 years old, he is considered the most wise of the saints as old master Dohko, and known by his full commitment, power and wisdom. When he came back with his old body, he must keep the same windom as old Master Dohko from Rozan. It is understood he feels younger and best as ever but still It is quite strange seeing a guy like him just confronting mere simple oponents without any reason.

Looking forward the third episode and I really hope Kurumada don't "humiliate" again the Cancer Knight and make Deathmask more like Lost Canvas Manigoldo, which is for me the best cancer gold saint and one of the best characters.

After watching LC anime and reading the manga, I find the LC Gold Saints far more interesting than the original S.Seiya ones.

I was actually shocked when his personality drastically changed in Hades Saga after he revealed his real form, so this one was nothing new to me. Shion was an old guy as well, but he acted like a young boy, so I don't see any problem there. They just enjoy the life, when they can. Who knows how much they are left to live (and we know exactly how much...)

I highly doubt that Kurumada has anything to do with this series, I may be proven wrong though. But yes, I want Deathmask to be portrayed better... Yet in his own way. Deathtoll is pretty good for me after the last translated chapters of Next Dimension which I've read, despite him being pretty different from Manigoldo and even Deathmask.

f*cking Toei man, they cant anime fights at all an thats what Saint Seiya is mostly about, the gold Saint attacks dont look nearly as powerfull as they were before, where is the blood?
i dont like that all the enemies are wielding weapons now, yeah Hades had a cool looking sword but why is it that everyone has a sword now?

that aside i do liked Dohko (even though he is extremely different from Lost Canvas Dohko) an Mu

I notice the animation isn't exactly up to par but it's not all THAT bad. The battle sequences aren't like the original but we have to also keep in mind that the original was released in the 80s..it's 2015, they aren't going to use the same animation style as they did before.

I don't exactly care for the changes in some people's faces..cause I barely recognized Aldebaran at first. I also noticed the inconsistency with his character between arcs because in this episode you see him with one horn as a result of the last battle he had with Seiya but in the Hades arc, didn't he have both horns still intact?

What I don't care for though is the blinking galaxy colored scars on the Saints once they get hurt..I guess that has to do with the mystery of Yggdrasil?

I have a feeling this girl is going to be a wolf in sheeps clothing..or probably the new Athena (damsel in distress) since Aiolia is the new Seiya..

Great episode! Despite the animation flaws, we could see Mu and Aldebaran (old friends) thinking alike and looking cool in battle. Dohko was funny with his newly found love for life.

Oh no, Aiolia and the rest team's tattoo illness is getting worse!
It looks like Lyfia has grown feelings for the gold lion. This is sweet but I hope she doen't ruin it later.


Aries Muu is a such a nice sight, I'm glad he was revived along with the rest of the gold saints!
Studying Yggdrasil was a clever move. I did not expect Yggdrasil to be a tree though! I though it was a person for some reason! lol Muu never fails to exceed my expectations! He is a genious.

Also Aldebaran and Dohko's conversation about their purpose on Asgard was entertaining.
Dohko is such a smart guy! He passed the fight on Taurus so fast and clever.
Aldebaran did not have time for any excuse in order to decline it! LOL
Dohko's face during the fight is funny! Watching his commrade like a fangirl!

The episode ended with a positive note and peace is back in the village of Asgard thanks to Muu and Aldebaran!

Scorpio Milo's apprearence in the end was so funny lel His nail is legendary! haha
Can't wait for the next episode, it looks promising!
