Yeah, i've heard about the later OVA's. I'll watch them, though i won't be setting my standards that high. I have all of Viz's manga release apart from volumes 3 and 10, so i plan to read them after i finish.
Prepare to be blown away by the first set of Hades OVAs too (I remembered the first time I saw them like it was yesterday, I was in complete awe *_*). And then be prepared to be sorely disappointed by the rest
I love the way these fights are displayed, so i'm all for what the Poseidon arc has to offer. Ikki has just appeared after doing his classic "i'll appear whenever i want" act. Not long to go now.
I enjoyed Asgard, though i fear i don't rate it highly as you do. I enjoyed the different approach to the fights, though at the end of the day it didn't turn out being the Saint Seiya that i've fallen in love with. Saying that though, Shiryuu was easily the star of the arc. :3
Really? It's almost unanimously considered to the weakest arc of the series. Of course, the weakest Saint Seiya is still better than most shounen. I'm glad you're enjoying anyway.
Now that you've finished it, what did you think of Asgard? Did you like it even more than the Sanctuary arc?
