What makes Saint Seiya so damn good /a/?
>>137493755
I want a Ronin Warriors reboot.
it looks manly now compared too back then when it looked like a girls show
also dat theme
>>137493822
Pegasus Fantasy is probably one of the best Openings from all time
- Raw manlyness played unironically
- The author wanted to make an ode to manlyness while other shounen authors were forced into battle shounen (see Toriyama)
- Shingo Araki
- Seiji Yokoyama
- A young Shigeyasu Yamauchi on the team
- It was made on the 80s, so that mean Toei didn't go full retarded yet and kids show could get away with almost anything
Which knight have the most rad armor?
>>137494409
Ikki
>>137494172
>The author wanted to make an ode to manlyness
That didn't work out so good Juan
Standing around spamming special moves is not manly. It is probably the least action packed battle manga of all time
>>137493755
All the implied homosexuality
>>137494172
>Shingo Araki
Fucking Shingo Araki was the best thing to ever happen to the franchise.
Seiji Yokoyama, as well. Saint Seiya may be an explosion of cliches and asspulls, but the OST is God Tier.
If only Kurumada could draw humans as well as he draws armors...
>>137494409
Libra with his 12 weapons as part of his armor.
Nothing. This garbage is only remembered for being third worlder babby's first anime, like other trash like cardcaptors and dragonball are in the west.
>>137493755
It had bretty gud Mexican and Italian dubs.
>>137494172
>Raw manlyness played unironically
are you shitting me? there's plenty of homo pandering in saint seiya
>>137494844
Japan doesn't see any contradiction between raw manlyness and homolust. See samurais
>>137494671
He can not draw armor, he can design armor
He's more Okawara or Liefeld than Kawamori or Kirby
>>137493822
Actually whenever Shun transforms it feels very gay.
>>137494172
>- Shingo Araki
>- Seiji Yokoyama
This
Kurumada is irrelevant.

She deserved de Seiyabowl, prove me wrong

Neither were Seiya'sbest friend

Honsetly the score is far better than a toybait anime ever deserves
>>137496235
She's beautiful as she's friendzoned
But Saint Seiya is boring repetitive crap where everything is resolved the same way, especially during Poseidon's Arc.
"So now that you punched me you can't punch me again because it won't work for reasons, HERE'S MY PUNCH"
It's like little kids playing and saying Nu-uh!
>>137496353
Yeah but it's done properly
>>137494700
Pretty sure Italy, Spain and France arent third world.
Either way, Saint Seiya and Hokuto no Ken are not that great. Dragon Ball (not Z) was the best among them.
>>137496404
No, it isn't.
Recycled animation all the way through, stupid backstories all over the place, formulaic and repetitive battles with the same characters over and over. Shun is always saved by Ikki, Shiryu gets naked and/or blind, Seiya is punched until ATHENA HELP and then he goes super saiyan. I don't remember what's Hyouga gimmick.
Same shit over and over. I can make a full season of Saint Seiya with paper cuts, recycled attack animation clips and a checklist of requierements for every character to do over and over again.
Good music doesn't save a shit anime.
>>137496571
Yeah but it's done properly
What's with all the unsubtle homoeroticism in the show?

The spics of yurop
>>137496536
Even Dragon Ball Z is better than both of them. It retained creativity and the asspulls were more impressive and unexpected, which translated into being more entertaining. All that filler screaming aside, DBZ is still more watchable.
>>137496626
Nuh-uh
>>137496655
>not expecting asspulls from 80's anime
>>137496731
You seem to lack reading comprehension.

>manlyness (sic)
Then why do they all look so fucking girly?
>>137496655
>France
>Spics
No.
>>137496404
>done properly
The hero no-sells the villain's attack based on no other logic than "I saw it already", then proceeds to hit him with his signature move for the 12th time. How the fuck is this a well done asspull?
Pay in mind, it's not "I saw this attack already so I can dodge it" but "I saw this attack so I can stand there and be unharmed by it". It's completely fucking retarded.
>>137493806
I also want that. That show was fun.
0 fighting
Spam special attack
As it should be. Nobody cares about hand to hand fights.
>>137495960
Nostalgia boner
>>137493755
Fuck off spic.

>Nobody cares about hand to hand fights
This isn't true right?
>>137496571
>hurr DBZ is best
>>137493755
good mindless fighting, and one of the few animes to have a good/great filler
the arc of the 12 gold houses will always be unparalleled, in my heart.
the combo: martial art warriors + armors + zodiac signs, is just an incredibly amazing idea.
>>137493755
It benefits from being based on mythology and constellations.
On the other hand, both of them bite them in the ass when they invent those filler-only Saints. Fucking Jellyfish Saints.
>>137496840
Because Kurumada is a closeted fag
>>137496311
Miho is plain compared to the other girls
In spicland, it was notable because of voice acting.
Javier Rivero's voice (as Saga) makes me shiver.

The Saint Seiya OST is one of the best ones ever made.
>>137493755
Cute guys, honorable battles and friendship.
God tier music and openings.
12 temples was like the best shounen saga of all time.
