Spoiler for That smile, i want to protect it...:
The first episode...looks average i guess? Some of the scene just doesn't make sense, what makes Paras (or Titan or whoever that leads the Parasite) thinks that a 3rd class Parasite would be enough to deal with Kouga that has defeated a God? And the character design now resembles the original show, which i think doesn't suits Kouga and co, and i still hates the new Cloth design it's just so stupid..

About growths, am I the only one who noted that Koga looks taller and that he has a stronger voice? I mean just compare.
It's like the opposite of what happened with Asgard but the changes in the design go along with a timeskip. |

Still, Yuna and Souma always had roughly the same amount of prominence in the previous Omega opening sequences, so it's not as if them having equal prominence in the new opening is anything out of the ordinary. Although in the actual episodes I think towards the end of the series Yuna ended up getting more attention and a more major role, even despite Souma's rather good subplot with Sonia. Man, I want Sonia to not be dead. Come back Soniaaaa. And Yuna is very popular, more popular than any of the other characters who were first introduced in Omega. (She got 4th place on the poll. Kouga 6th, Ryuho 10th, Eden 11th, Haruto 13th, Souma 14th...) Although popularity shouldn't cause a writer to skew their plots and planning, it also doesn't make sense to shaft the most popular of the new characters. |

I think Yuna's prominence in the first season is largely due to Reiko Yoshida pushing for the character. Yoshida is pretty much well known for writing female centric characters. Likewise how well Sonia's arc turned out was because of Michiko Yokote. Another strong writer in my opinion. Quote:
Once the new writing team changes focus, I'm sure people will develop new favorites. I think people will even love Subaru and Eden if the writing is good enough. |

Just watched a (very fast) sub and i'm really glad the mood remains the same. And considering this episode was done by Yoshitaka Yashima, the worst animation director of the series, and it still managed to look pretty good, things are promising. Speaking of the art, the character design is definitely more Kurumada-ish now. Not only the cloths, but even the Pallasites' faces and expressions are typical. About the episode itself, some interesting things. For some reason Kiki considers Paradox dead, and she was the only one he didn't say the name (probably because Paradox was an alias? Or didn't he know her?). Anyway, she's in Athena's premonition, so i guess she just went MIA since Ryuhou pwned her. I like how Seiya just got himself a new rival, and iirc Titan is the first person to call him "Sagittarius Seiya". Pallas has an interesting concept - a villain who loves Athena and is reluctant to hurt her? Let's see how they play it out. The bit with the new Pegasus cloth wasn't really explained, but going by the summaries it seems 54 should touch that. Btw, we can see Kouga arriving at the Sanctuary carrying his box in the preview, which looked nostalgic. Oh, and i think it's soon to judge the characters' roles based in the opening, since it didn't look to be a final version. They used a lot of scenes from this very episode. |

Now that Cosmo Aids is out of the way, I hope they're not going to find excuses to borg down what looks to be the most tightly knit team of 'Athena's Saints' we've seen... wait? ever?
Original Bronze Saints: Shiryu Seiya Shun Hyouga New Gold Saints: Kiki Harbringer Fudou Genbu New Bronze Saints: Kouga Yuna Souma Haruto Ryuho The "Wildcards": Paradox Ikki Eden Even ignoring the 3 whom is probably wild-cards at the moment, that is 13 7th Sense Saints on the good side.

It seems tha the new Cloth are more like the Divine Version of the Omega Cloths, what it make sense because ALL the Omega Cloths had the Athena's Cosmo infused in them. By the look of the things the thing that revived the Pegasus Cloth was only Kouga's Cosmo Last edited by belxebu; 2013-04-07 at 06:38. |
