As for Omega, I’m actually very excited about it since this will be an original anime story (and a sequel too!) and not Kurumada’s. You see, I’m actually a rare fan where I really like Saint Seiya’s concept (battle between Gods and their clothed minions & the cloths’ designs) but don’t really like the story told by the original author. The only arc that I actually like from Kurumada is the Sanctuary/12-temples arc. Other arcs that I like are not (entirely) from Kurumada such as Asgard Arc, Hades: Sanctuary (since the anime presented the story far better than the manga imo), the Overture movie, and Lost Canvas.
Same.

I really love the mythos and concept around Saint Seiya, but the actual execution coming off Kurumada's original stories after the Saga Arc... was really lack-lustre in my opinion. I've come to prefer other author's execution of his mythology.

Plus I think that Kurumada himself is stuck in a rut and writer's block about where he himself wants to clearly take the Saint Seiya franchise, given that Next Dimension kinda went nowhere.
