How come Saint Seiya never had so much popularity in the English-speaking part of the world?
It had a success that did rival the one of DBZ and One Piece in the Neolatin-speaking part of the world (France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, South/Central America...), but for some reason it didn't in the USA or the UK.
Also, Kuramada is a literal QUALITY tier mangaka, Araki was the true savior of the franchise.
- Arrived too late.
- The sadomasochism made it too edgy for soccer moms.
- The fucking dub

Wrong place, wrong time. It could only be average at best. The dub sunk it into the sewer.

when was it aired for the first time?
also, the "sadomasochism" argument is lame, sure there's lots of fighting and blood but DB and DBZ where much more violent: it doesn't feature any impalement, any broken limbs and no major visual injuries.
I'm sorry for the dub, at least in Italy it was a fucking masterpiece.

Knights of the Zodiac as it was called did not come to America until 2003. Also the original anime has never been fully released here, I think the manga was though.

Saint Seiya put special emphasis on the pain and suffering of the characters. It's more about their struggling than the action, either by emotional pain or physical pain.

Do people even say "football moms"?
>>143044939
the term was born in the USA so it's no wonder it's "Soccer moms". /a/ustists are truly the worst kind of anons

Faggot I watched it sometime between 1992 and 1996, you're retarded.
>>143045085
no no the people from usa think that america is a country. hes talking about usa, not america.
>Jabu was supposed to be a main character as well
>Kurumada scrapped the idea for believing Jabu to be too similar to Seiya
Life is suffering
And Kurumada is a talentless hack who deserves to die alone and unloved
