Saint Seiya Hades Chapter - Inferno

[mantidor]

Ive only saw the first one and it was awesome!, I like a lot the opening theme, the animation is incredible and I didnt notice the change in voice acting, (to be honest I didnt pay much attention to it ).

I understood that this is the first part of the Inferno Saga and theres a second one coming, isnt it? I wouldnt like this being cramed

[Pleroma]

Could someone explain this to me a bit? The whole saga goes:
Gold Saints > those Norse saints > Poseidon > the 12 EP hades ovas > ?

I cant healp like I am missing something here, not to mention the heavens chapter thats supposedly after the yet unfinished hades. Couls someone explain exactly how many episodes comprise hades and which of them are actually out?

12 palaces Sanctuary chapter,Asgard,Poisiden,Hades Sanctuary Chapter,Hades Inferno Chapter

So far they have released 13 episodes for the Hades Sanctuary Chapter and Episodes 14 and 15 of the Hades Inferno chapter with 4 more to be released over the next 2 months after that it is unknown how many we can expect to see

Actually the Asgard Arc is complete anime filler and in terms of the current OVA, it does not take in account this ARC.

The most important aspect is that Shyryu is Blind Before entering the Sanctuary, and He is still blind on the current OVA series,

Spoiler:

But been in Hell, he again can see, so for the rest of the series Shyryu will have his sight again.

Follow by the fact that Camus is Hyoga original sensei, and not that made up anime Cristal Knight (BTW, that’s the name of a porn Actress)

Different from Anime, were Shyryu regains his sight after Fighting Deathmask, and he only gets partially blinded in the Poseidon arc by Crysaor, and Hyuga have flashback of his friend training with the Cristal Dude.

I have seen the whole thing then - the movies, was afraid I was missing something. This was the show that got me into anime way back and I still love every bit of it.

Does anyone know what the hell is going on with the AVD releases? They had been steadili comming out but suddenly stopped halfway through the 12 houses and no word on when the next volume is coming out. Its not as if its a high quality DVD release, so this kind of delay seems very odd.

[Dark Lord Zenigame]

There were problems before, but I'd heard that it was all planned to be released...

...though the translation is utter ass, and I'm tempted to just turn off the subtitles and watch it raw. -_-

Saint Seiya gets no love here. ._.

[mantidor]

The Asgard arc was made because Kurumada hadnt finished Poseidon yet so he needed some time to finish it. The Asgard arc is my favorite by far, theres a heavy melancholic tone in the whole thing, and the fights were a lot more dinamic than other arcs, even Hades and its superb animation quality and CGI.

Now that I remember the Heaven OVA has some really dinamic fights, Id really like if they follow that path if a Heaven arc is ever made in the future.

[saintric_21]

yea i agree tenkaihen was a beautiful film , the fights the animation (my fave fight is when ikki and shun fight the angel cant rem his name right now) but its unlikely we will see this level of animation in the series but if they make the Eliysion chaper of mekaihen as a movie then im sure it will be beautiful as Eliysion is of course the most beautiful place in the universe and would look great in the kind of animation of tenkaihen

one thing bothers me how do u guys/girls see the future of Saint Seiya? its obvious this new cast was brought in for a reason other than the politics we have heard about , the old cast was getting old for one ( i know they were amazing and will always be the best of saint seiya)

I think it all rests this next 6 episodes of Inferno im sure they will complete it upto eliysion but what next? the perfect ending would be a battle with Zeus and maybe seiya dying in battle gloriously

[Pleroma]

HOw far along is the manga? Seems like Apollo is next on the chopping block, after that zeus is indeed all thats left unless they pop in more stuff from other mithologies like the asgard arc. Come to think of it, something like a mayan mithology based arc would be pretty damn cool.

[mantidor]

Theres no Heaven manga as far as I know. It was the original intention of Kurumada to make all the parts, that is hinted in the fight against Saga at the end of the sanctuary chapter, he mentions the three gods (Poseidon, Hades and Zeus) and how he plans to rule over all of them.

Yeah, The Asgard was nicely done, but the bad thing of this was that it hurted the series overall, by the time the Poseidom series beggined, saint Seiya lost a very big share in tv ratings, this forced the anime team to make a poseidom arc compresed in a small number of Episodes, and ended up in the cancellation of the TV show..thats why we are know seen the Hades arc (the best done by Kuru IMO) in OVA and not as TV episodes.

BTW, the last Manga chapters done by Kuru was the Hades Arc, after this only the Episode G are recently made and currently runing. if im not mistaken, Kuru is not the Mangaka, but another person (100% sure that the ilustration is not made by him).

[Dark Lord Zenigame]

Episode.G's art is by Okada Megumu, and the original story is by Kurumada Masami.

[mantidor]

Im not too fond of episodes G artwork, but is really great to see the background of the gold saints. Thats another reason I liked Asgard, there was a background given for every god warrior.

Yep, thats true, the idea using another Mythologies was very cool indeed, but I think the episode G came, because the guys that wanted more money thinked of making a a side story using the Gold Saints, Gold Saints are the fav merchandise wise, Maybe they thinked that doing this would revive SAint Seiya.

Wow....Inferno OVAs starts really great....what a powerful Kanon!!...He looks stronger(and prouder) than his brother ...Finally, Rhadamathys has equal oponnent....but there is a one thing that really interest me....Do you think that Milo,Aiola and Mu were so simply defeated because of Castle barrier(power)..or was it because of Rhadamanthys power??...I can still believe he is so strong to defeat 3 gold knights at once....What do you think..???

[saintric_21]

thats a difficult one.. It was quite hard for pegasus and the other bronze saints to harm Rhadamantyhs even though they had Athenas blood protecting them from the castles barrier, so maybe Mu and the other Gold saints mights not have been able to defeat him but theres no way Rhadamanthys would have beaten them so easily if it wasnt for the seal on their powers

Even Kanon says in the new Hades episode's 'now I see why you are Ranked so high among 108 spectres' when Rhadamanthys attacks him

[vcerman]

Yes, but Kanon was able to stand up after Rhadamathys Greatest caution and didnt look wounded..he was without any scratch.....Does it mean that Kanon is much more powerful than the other Golden Saints??? Maybe stronger than Saga and Shaka..? and i am interested how strong will be Dhoko??

[saintric_21]

So I finally watched the new OVA episodes 3 and 4 (or 16 and 17 if you prefer) and all I can say is despite being quite pleased with the first 2 it seems like they have taken a step back with these episodes, The big suprise is its not really the new voices that dissapoint infact its the animation!

I mean come on the scene where Hyoga, Shiryu and Kanon are running is just so cheap and crap so bad it made me ill for 2 days please stop using this overhead running scene we always see.One more gripe is Hyoga's and Shiryus attacks I mean the animation is actually good its just the dubbers could have at least pronounced them properley ROZAN SHO RYU HA being read out that slow doesnt have the same ring to it.But Pegasus Seiya's dubber is excellent just like a young Tora Furuya great choice.
The next episode looks quite good on the preview so heres hoping for better things, maybe the next set of OVA will be quite good but I cant help thinking they are being careful on money so they can make Elisyion (supposedly a movie) something special along the lines of tenkai hen if so they all will be forgiven

[vcerman]

Where did you find ENG subtitles for 16&17 OVAs???

[saintric_21]

I havent got the ENG subtitles yet for the OVA 16 and 17 but I do have them for the OVA 14 and 15.I think it will be week or so till you can get them for the new episodes
