Saint Seiya: Lost Canvas trailer promo

Thanks, man.

Where to begin? My only exposure to Saint Seiya is some of the episodes I've watched of the Hades Chapter Arc. Too bad I missed out on the Cartoon Network airings. I didn't give it the time of day because I assumed it was just like Ronin Warriors. Did they ever finish the series?

Watching the Hades Chapter made me realize what I've been missing. Unfortunately, I never completed the Hades Chapter either. Guess I'll have to wait for the DVRAB. Hopefully, Sci-Fi will scoop this series (along with the OAVS) up. Oops, I forgot about the movies.

I take it this a prequel, right? I was more interested in the sequel, The Heaven Chapter. Isn't Saint Seiya and the rest of the Saints supposed to wage war against the Greek Pantheon and, ultimately, Chronos? I can't wait to hear more about it. Would it be best for me to pass on seeing the prequel until after I've seen the rest of the series?
 
You can read the manga, on the whole I find the manga better than the anime, though both have their upside and their failings.

The Lost Canvas is a prequel that details the last Holy War between the forces of Athena and Hades back 250 years ago and the tale of the previous Pegasus saint. I just got volume 4 of the manga today too...

I love the character design in those books! As much as I like Kurumada's work I think he's only so-so as an artist, Shiori Teshirogi on the other hand does an awesome job... it looks a lot like Kurumada's designs, only better

If you think its jarring you should be glad they didn't decide to animate Episode G Megumu Okada has a MUCH more different style oO

I don't know what is the status of any sequel but there is two prequel running right now. Lost Canvas and Episode G.

Episode G is set only a handful of years before Saint Seiya proper and stars Gold Leo Saint Aiolia and focuses on the Gold Saint and their battle against the Titans and Chronos. Its set somewhere after Aioros' death when he saved baby Athena. The first chapter is set during the Three Mile Island incident of 1979 in fact.

Personally I think Episode G is FAR more epic feeling compared to Lost Canvas, but arguably I'm up to volume 14 in that so Lost Canvas still got lots of room for growth.
