The CN version is a crime against humanity. period. Saint Seiya is a true classic, yet b/c a friend of mine accidentally saw Knights of the Zodiac first...he's pretty much renounced the old series no matter what..hell...as soon as I started to hear and see the intro I almost hit my TV...then the dub started...and the weird slip and slide sound effects for no reason...and the total..well...LYING about the character's backstory..for cripes sake...Hyouga is a bad-ass russo-japanese guy..from syberia...yet in the CN verion he's just some Butthole surfer, Michaelangelo from TMNT ripoff. I praise ADV for releasing uncut, subbed dvd versions..of which a box set of some sort will most likely come later on this year. I even hear that their dub is much better and different...but compared to Dic..castration is much better and different too.
