Saint Seiya Omega

[mirkosp]

Ever since the Age of the Gods, whenever evil draws near, a Saint will appear. Wielding the arms called a Cross, they battle to protect the goddess Athena who watches over the Earth. Amongst their number was the Bronze Pegasus Saint Seiya and his compatriots whose battles are legendary.

Since then, much time has passed. Now, the revival of Mars, the god of war, draws near, and it is time for a new Saint to step into the breach!

I generally avoid making threads for shows targeted at a younger audience unless they are requested, but damn, I am a sucker for Umakoshi, so there goes some hope somebody will check it out now. >_>

D: I wanted to make the thread

My impressios:

I'm a hardcore fan of the Saint Seiya series. But I'm divided about this title: In a hand, it will be interesting to see a new story of the Saints. In the other hand, I really don't like the new desing for the characters. By some reasons it reminds me to Cashern Sins but in an alternate story.
As a good fan I'll continue watching it. I just don't hope they don't make something weird during the show

Yes, the designs are by Umakoshi, which is the one behind the Casshern Sins designs, as well the designs for Heartcatch Precure. He did other stuff too, like Marie & Gali and Doremi, but the works I cited first are the ones in which his most recent style can be most easily recognized. As I like his chades, I actually enjoyed this side of SS Omega.
