It's highly stimulating for kids. Every little description about how someone's power works or how fast they are is handmade to activate a kid's imagination. I rewatched it recently, and I remembered how wild I would go at Hyoga as a kid for enduring the excruciating pain from Milo's attacks.

The old drama's hold up better than most of old action anime.
If you're just drawing a guy in a room having a conversation there isn't really that much room for an animator to fuck that up. Compare that to a fist fight, or a robot doing acrobatics in the sky, the animator really can drop that ball.

Like I can cherry pick stuff some of the ex-Toei people animated in the 70's that is well animated, but I can throw a rock at a random cluster of anime dorama's and be pretty sure I'm going to hit something with decent cinematography and good art direction.

First of all, fuck you, second.....

Dragonball started as a silly stupid comedy with action.

Saint Seiya was a melodrama about grit and self sacrifice with more bite then ever Dragonball, it was legit the first anime that was recognized as such that hit a wider audience, you had before Candy Candy, Mazinger Z, Heidi and both Honeybee Hutch and Demetan but those ended up being niche in its reach, SS did lasted for years since it began in late 92 in LatAm despite having less episodes that even the first Dragonball anime.

I will say though, the manga is genuienly inferior to the anime for most of its run, kinda like the Sailormoon manga vs its anime adaptation, sure, the latter did turn waaaay too gimmicky with its monster of the week formula and one shot character that needed a lesson or help, and disposable mcguffins every season, but it also hit in mexico because it was the Saint Seiya equivalent for girls, tough in reality mostly boys watched it because sexy girls to make up for the lack of grit that SS had.

>>287915304
Kinnikuman should have been dubbed earlier around 99 or so and sholuld have been dubbed in mexico, and Arturo Mercado should have been Suguru switching between his pervy Oolong voice, his funny disney voices, his Shaggy voice, and his heroic Simba

Looked up the list and it's pretty nothing.
>Fist of the North Star
Yeah the original anime is largely pretty bad. Loaded with filler, has like ten recap episodes, ends on some of the worst content in the series (it's called HnK2 but it's just the last 40 episodes of the show), is comprised mostly of animation done by tweening, etc.
Most FotNS animefags are either spics who grew up with the show or people who watch it exclusively via youtube clips (if at all).
>Angel Cop
This is wrong but also, this isn't an uncommon opinion. All the "tastemakers" back in the day said this, it used to be common on /a/ if I recall, "so bad it's good" isms were used here for it all the time. So, nothing controversial.
>Kinnikuman
Same shit as Fist of the North Star, except in addition to filler (the show fucking ends on like 50 episodes of filler that sucks and rewrites every arc to facilitate the filler) it's just kind of bad. Overuses jokes to the point of them being the most obnoxious thing in the world. The article doesn't talk about that though (you hear the gyudon song like 200 fucking times and the black blob monster sticks around for the entire run of the show), it just gets mad at the humor. I guess, sure, a lot of people bounce off Kinnikuman because they don't find it funny (I found the manga hilarious, but I also watch naroukei every season, so maybe I'm just a failure at life).
>Cobra
Same shit as Angel Cop. Literally 1:1, though shitting on Cobra today feels like even more of a meme since Dezaki's name is so well known now.
>Saint Seiya
YES
SEIYA FUCKING SUCKS
ESPECIALLY THE ANIME
The anime is what people think Bleach is. After the first arc with Ikki, it descends into three arcs in a row that are all identical, all with the exact same setup and plot about saving Saori from the Greek (or Norse) God of the week.
Then you get to the OVAs and GUESS WHAT
IT'S MORE OF THAT
>>
>>287926398
All in addition to Kurumada being so style over substance that none of the fights are even remotely interesting. Most of the time it's characters getting beat down until they pull out THE ONE PUNCH THAT WINS IT ALL, which makes the whole thing into one absurd massive drag. Anyone who defends the Seiya anime is a fucking nostalgiatard, and I haven't read the manga but if it is even HALF of what the anime was, it's probably fucking dogshit too.
Saying all that though, I did enjoy Soul of Gold and Lost Canvas S1. Those actually do fun things with the formula (and not-so-coincidentally, Kurumada was barely involved in both).
>>287914131
It is incredibly gay man.
There's one woman in the entire series that matters and everything else is very feminine bishounen boys (not men, they all look like they're 14). Ring ni Kakero is far less gay despite looking identical to Saint Seiya (and having largely the same fights), I imagine Shun's entire existence increases the gay factor 5000% (hence why they made him a woman in the reboot.
>>
>>287926398
>(the show fucking ends on like 50 episodes of filler that sucks and rewrites every arc to facilitate the filler)
I mean, they stopped there for five years, but then continued and animated the rest of the manga at the time.

Also, Kinnikuman's initial run outside of the two final arcs didn't really have much filler. It was mostly manga adaptations, but with extra "humor" to pad the episodes, with only a couple of standalone filler stories here and there, only at the end of the initial run you get the two full filler arcs, and even so the first one is really short, and feels more like a movie that they split to air as episodes. The first filler arc flows in a way that's identical to most Kinnikuman movies (the team splits to take opponents one after another while Kinnikuman goes ahead for the final one, most battles outside of the final one with Kinnikuman and the main villain are free brawls that barely get any screentime rather than full wrestling matches), it's only the 2nd and final filler arc that's longer and tries and fails to mimic the manga's style.
>>
>>287926576
>I mean, they stopped there for five years, but then continued and animated the rest of the manga at the time.
Okay, I didn't mention Scramble because it's a 90s anime if I recall and has a bunch of VA recasts and a worse soundtrack and worse animation, but the actual reason I didn't mention it is because it ruins the story with an anime original ending that feels like cuckshit, and I hate it, and it sucks.
>Also, Kinnikuman's initial run outside of the two final arcs didn't really have much filler. It was mostly manga adaptations, but with extra "humor" to pad the episodes,
Maybe this was in the filler arc, I was not invested, but I swear there was filler characters running around in the Tag Team arc that lended themselves to the following filler arcs of the anime. Probably just misremembering honestly.
But the big issue with Kinnikuman is how much it cuts and how miserably it fails at really adapting Kinnikuman's comedy and sense of humor. It's not like this is Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei or anything, but Toei overdoes the toilet and disparaging humor to a degree where it becomes less funny and more annoying.
Big issue is also just replacing Kinnikuman's love interest, his true girl being someone mostly as retarded and degenerate as himself was pretty funny, and in the anime it's instead a pretty generic sweet girl.

I said this before and will say it again, Dragon Ball and Saint Seiya are polar opposites in the sense that Toriyama treats everything like a joke but fans take the story much more seriously than he intended while Kurumada takes itself very seriously but no one takes SS seriously because his writing is corny and predictable as fuck.

Fuck right off.
The issue is that Saint Seiya is 114 episodes of nothing fucking happening. It's the same shit over and over again where nothing evolves or changes and it stops before the end of the manga (though even if it reached that point, it'd still end on a shit ending that could've been appended to any prior arc).
>>287927523
The difference is, when Kinnikuman and Hokuto no Ken are repetitive in arc structure, they make up for it in far more dynamic and fun fights.
They also simply have better characters. Suguru has more humanity behind him than any character in Saint Seiya, and the dynamics of Kenshiro / Toki / Raoh are legitimately interesting. It repeatedly asking the question of "Can I dominate the world through strength alone?" creates interesting dialogue and conflict.
Seiya never approaches either the humanity of Kinnikuman, the story of a failure NEET becoming a reliable hero and changing how people perceive him unwittingly through his actions. It never approaches the sheer heights of drama and theatrics of Hokuto no Ken.

Both Kinnikuman and Hokuto no Ken have bad anime, but these values still shine through them. In Saint Seiya, it doesn't really have values, legitimate qualities.

I get liking it if you were a kid and this is a big thing for you, but I watch it as an adult and I just experience something that makes me feel nothing. That has glimpses of interesting ideas, but never desires to go all the way with them, and that would be fine if it made up for it with good action, but Kurumada's action is just bad. There's a quote one mangaka had praising him that really highlights the issues with Kurumada's action:
>Masami Kurumada, a man who defies common sense. Not only does he not look like a typical manga artist, but the manga he creates is also unconventional. Ring ni Kakero shattered the conventions of fighting manga up to this point. Boxing stripped free of referees, counts, and all those bothersome restrictions. The countless superblows exploding amid starry full-page spreads carries a surreal, dreamlike beauty.
And he's right, I like Ring ni Kakero to an extent, but this is all Kurumada does and it makes for a horrifically boring anime compared to Dragon Ball, Yaiba, Dragon Quest, and even the two I just shit on, Kinnikuman and Hokuto no Ken.
Despite it all, I've seen the Hokuto no Ken & Kinnikuman anime three times. Despite my shittalk, I enjoyed them.

Saint Seiya put me to fucking sleep when I tried to rewatch, because once I experienced it, there was nothing left. I could poke at Kinnikuman and see cool visuals, evocative imagery, even in the anime. Robin Mask has real design changes that commentate on his character in relation to Suguru. Hoktuo no Ken knows it has shit animation and makes great jokes with that, it becomes, oddly, a limited animation spectacle a lot of the time and gets really funny.
But Sainy Seiya is just pretty. That's all its anime was. I will never see any depth in it, I will never enjoy it, and I have given it too much of a chance, I watched everything aside from Saintia Sho, Omega, and Lost Canvas 2, and the only parts I liked were the ones that Kurumada contributed the LEAST to.

Kinnikuman 2011 mogs the shit out of anything made by Kurumada. It's an extremely rare case of a sequel that improves upon the original in literally every single aspect. The art is more professional, the writing is more elaborated, characters that were one dimensional in the classic series become multi-layered and the worldbuilding is expanded and fleshed out. Meanwhile Saint Seiya Next Dimension is just the same formula that Kurumada has been rehashed since the 70s all over again.

Meanwhile, Kurumada could barely wrench anything out of Shun when he's the fucking antagonist, let alone after his drama with Ikki is cleared up.

Toei should just disowned that shitty anime ending of scramble for the throne and instead of that slap to the face in all senses that it was, they should instead adapting in an end credits montage the Kinnikuman vs Terryman chapter in some sort of renewal edition of that season, they did end up having Bibinba as his wife in their Nisei anime after all.
>>

The only thing the SS does better than most shounenshit is having 5 main characters where none of then gets outshined by the rest. And yeah, Toriyama sucking at handling a large cast of characters is by far his biggest weakness as a creator.

Nah, calling Cobra something an AI might have written while writing a pop culture article for CBR displays a remarkable lack of self awareness.

You're talking about the man who's suffered an inferiority complex since forever because "drawing manga isn't seen as manly as construction work [his dad's gig]", had Shun blurt out he doesn't like when someone says "Is that guy even a man?" if he looks too feminine, and literally wrote poems saying "To me, a real man attracts not only women, but also men".

I agree this one, and many other takes were retarded, but they worked well as ragebaits (modern journalism is really fond of them).

Kinnikuman wasn’t even aired in Latin America, save from Chile apparently.

French normalfags (white) are actually amazing and probably more knowledgeable of good anime than /a/
and they approve of Saint seiya

Given that a lot of Americans tend to be toxic as fuck here, I'm not surprised, as the bar is not high. French weebs also like Herlock.

Chilean here, it aired when it was a kid on a pretty much unwatchable time ie. week day morning so I could only watch it when I was sick BUT I still remembered the characters and fights enough to make me look up for the anime and manga once I got to uni and learned english a decade later, now two decades later it's still my fav

The Tag Team arc in the anime does add some filler characters, but they just stand in the background to commentate on the events and justify changing the arena. Never actually participate in any battles even though one of them is supposed to be Neptune King's master and the others are supposed to be, like "True Perfect Choujin" before that was a thing in the manga (It's a different term, but they introduced a backstory about Neptuneman abandoning the "Ortodox" Choujin or whatever and then creating his "Perfect" Choujin). They have nothing to do with the following filler arcs.

His dad died in poverty like pretty much all his ancestors while Kurumada is famous around the world but still envy him. Kurumada has some serious issues

>>287937360
His father was a child of the bombings era of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, and of course he grew up to be a shit father because of serious shame and guilt issues due to "japanese shit parents treatment towards their kids" and so Kurumada's dad was well, A douche.

>old anime has pacing problems and it's overall trash
granted. most filler can be amusing like Kenshiro fighting all the made-up Nanto techniques but it's also filler that butchers the pacing of the adaptation. I know this was a critique of old anime and not their manga versions but it just comes off as shitty to call out these 5, especially Hokuto and Kinnikuman when they made no secret of what they were from the start, and not simply make an article about what was bad and problematic about the manga industry in the 80's, but clickbait is consumed in rankings, not in substance.

also the whole "article" is broken up by multiple ads. I might as well not visit these sites if they're going to be this unreadable.

I pity the people who missed the Kinnikuman watch party. I wish I'd gotten in on it sooner.

>>287939412
and kurumada has a son name seiya................
>>
>>287940989
That's an old internet myth. Kurumada only has daughters. Zoomers are unaware of how hated was Seiya during the 00s
>>
>>287941599
>Kurumada only has daughters
decrepit old man who believes that dial-up still exists.
>>
>>287941979
Kurumada said on an interview that he doesn't get social media. He prefers to meet people in real life. He doesn't have a twitter account and his official blog is probably managed by an employee from Kurumada Productions

That'd require them to know what the fuck they're talking about.
