Time to change Toei for Gonzo guys

Knowing the anime fanbase, they will still blame Toei if anything goes wrong...

Well, Gonzo is nowadays more or less a meme studio, but that's exactly why they sometimes gather interesting talents on their shows such as Hiroshi Ikehata or Shigeyasu Yamauchi. Especially the latter I want to see do some episode direction on this new Saint Seiya show, considering Yamauchi's history with it. Staff itself is pretty whatever though.

Really surprised Gonzo is going to be the studio for this. I mean, I think this is the first Saint Seiya series since The Lost Canvas that doesn't has Toei as the studio (though seeing that Toei is still in charge of the production, it wouldn't be that different from previous entries).

New cast is pretty good.
