Favorite bronze saint?
Men: Shiryu and IkkiWomen: Hyoga and ShunNobody likes Seiya
>>282288392>>282288626I'm a men and like Hyoga
>>282288759It's not an absolute division but more of a trend. Hyoga is blond and pretty so he tend to attract fangirls
Saint Seiya is as dead as Ikki
Jabu
Why women like Shun if he looks like a girl?
>>282288626Seiya is better than Ikki
>>282290596I like Seiya but Ikki is the rare likable Gary Stu
>>282288392Pegasus.
SS is the soccer of anime. The whole world loves it except America.
>>282291049What's wrong with USA? They love to be contrarians
>>282288392Shiryu
>>282291230BASADO
>>282291907this, early anime in America had to be butchered by 4kids to meet american standards
reading Ring ni Kakero made me realize that Kurumada only knows how to tell 1 story
>>282291230>>282291955When he removes his armor, you know shit's gonna get good.
how often does Ikki saves Shun in the manga? I heard that most times when that happened were fillershit
>>282289297Everything will be fine when Kurumada releases the Heaven arc. He finished Otokozaka so he has nothing else to do
New anime when?
>>282292431>Next Dimension was actually finishedHey they could adapt that next. I'd also be down for a Dark Wings anime.But then again, knowing Toei it's probably going to suck.
>>282292468I have a theory Kurumada rushed to finish Next Dimension so Toei could make an anime of it.
>>282292468Toei probably has little to no interest in making a ND anime because there's only 1 new cloth to advertise a toy of
>>282292320Kurumada took almost 2 decades to make only 122 ND chapters, and he is 71 years old, which means that there's no fucking way that he will live enough to complete the Heaven arc. The best he could do is leaving his notes to the Poseidon Rerise guy to do it.
>>282292681From what i recall, he was getting helped by the other authors anyway, like how the Lost Canvas guy (girl?) was doing backgrounds for ND iirc.
>>282292092And what do you mean by that?
Saint Mariya has been pretty fun so far
>>282292431Never. Omega was a hit in Japan, westerners liking it or not, and Soul of Gold at least had a huge push from Bandai to pump new figures. Besides that? They fucked up everything:>Legend of Sanctuary>Saintia Sho>Knights of the Zodiac>live actionThose all bombed hard. Saint Seiya is a Chinese gacha franchise forever now.
>>282292736every single story arc he writes follows the same basic structure of a corridor of enemies
>>282292431Toei is still licking its wounds for the live action fiasco. Maybe there'll be a new anime in 3 or 5 years
>>282293021How's it go in Ring ni Kakero if it's a boxing manga?
>>282288392ENTER the Simp Bronze Saint
>>282288626Seiya is better than Ikki, though.
>>282288392>Bronze SaintsOnly Gold Saints are relevant.
>>282292772They should make a Mariya anime considering magical girls got a boost thanks to K-pop Demon Hunters. Unfortunately Toei lost too much money with the live action. It's too soon
>>282289297Feels like a fever dream
>>282293910I think the thing I hate the most about Kurumada is how he never made a single big strong guy character that is treated with slightest amount of dignity because of his napoleon complex, they are always either comically evil or jobbers in his works.
>>282293762it goes exactly like SS but with entire arcs taking place in the boxing ring. Just imagine a fighting game played in arcade mode, this is Kurumada's writing in a nutshell.
>>282294457The same guy takes on a gauntlet or it's multiple matches between different people like regular boxing schedules?
>>282288626Seiya is the best, he earn the best golden cloth in the entire series, dont you dare to talk like that here in south América
>>282291230Shiryu AKA "i really want to damage my fucking eyes"
>>282294500the latter
>>282294501Seiya is very hated in South America.
>>282294440Taurus in Omega is amazing
>>282294775because it's not written by Kurumada
>>282294749>>282294501>>282288626Only caribbeans dislike Seiya because they hate seeing a guy that works hard getting up again and again and again just to prove that he's unstoppable.
>>282294749Your circle of friends opinions does not represent a whole continent.
>>282292912Making SS a household name in America is Toei's white whale. It's tearing it apart. They should focus in China, Europe and Latin America
>>282295011If they were smart they would have exported the toyline to the US without the anime with some makeshift lore that no one cares about, it worked with Kinnikuman
>>282294885Seiya is the most hated saint everywhere, including Japan
>>282294501But he didn't earn the Gemini Cloth.
>>282293021Back in the 90s i was also dissapointed watching btx on mágic kids. It's the same formula of corridors just with a futuristic World. It's doesn't help that the anime doesn't have the best animation and the manga sometimes it's hard to understand. Peor con el doblaje angelino q estuvo medio de la mierda
>>282295951I seriously believe that Kurumada is autistic. It's the only explanation to why he refuses so adamantly to improve his craft after 5 decades as a mangaka. Compare him to Go Nagai who started before him, his art is much more refined than decades ago when he made Mazinger, Devilman and Cutie Honey.
>>282295951I wish B't X got a remake. The manga is kino.
>>282295011Kozo Morishita (director from the original anime) is the current president of Toei. He's very passionate about Saint Seiya, back in the 80s he went over budget for SS and Toei accused him of trying to bankrupt the studio. His heart is in the right place but he kept making stupid decisions like trying to sell SS to America
>>282292772Saint Mariya is very interesting
>>282288392No one with at least 1 microgram of testosterone likes Shun.
>>282297510this franchise finally got 100% hijacked by the female demographic huh, almost like a reverse MLP
>>282297531Shun is unironically Kurumada's idea of the pinnacle of masculinity though
>>282289297C'mon Toei, it was so hard to just make a metal kamen sentai tokusatsu without mask/helmets based in SS story with your own studios? Even that would have looked better and been more faithful to the original source than this
>>282297674>maskless tokustasuhaving the lead actor doing his own stunts became a taboo in tokusatsu after the first kamen rider broke both his legs I think
>>282291049This is the reason most of my figures are still boxedGoddamn thats nightmare fuel
>>282297674The problem was that Toei was looking that mythical American audience. Same reason why Donte exist
>>282297719the only time when the japanese intentionally tried to make something with americans in mind and succeeded was Sonic
>>282297706how the hell are you able to afford cloth myth shit but can't buy a decent shelf?
>>282297741>SonicAnd if is true what i heard, sonic isnt precisely popular in japan except with Korone
>>282297941In Japan he definitely isn't, but it doesn't change the fact that he is the only jap attempt at pandering to foreigners that actually worked.
>>282291049Not quite. The anglosphere as a whole never got into SS, whereas it's only burgerstan that doesn't like soccer.
>>282293910Was waiting for the inevitable AldeBARAn post.
>>282294775Harbiinger was the coolest
