You know, after i finished reading the latest translated chapters, I just realized how depressing this series is compared to the original saint seiya with so many deaths left and rights, esp. on the side of Athena's saints. Meanwhile Hades's army seems to be doing fine and aren't really having a problem with it. Like for every specter to fall, about 20 Saint die as well LOL. To me it seems like this manga raises the question of not who will die but who WON'T die.

That is a good point. Hell those five boys were about the only ones who saved the world. Not even Athena herself was responsible. Sure she gave them SOME help, but I emphasize the "some" part when you compare it to how many times they've had to rescue her and see how her little her help compares to theirs.

That's debatable. That little help from Saori was what allowed them to survive the Sanctuary, Atlantis and the Underworld.
Terms like 'Deus ex Machina' or 'Plot Armour' in the original Saint Seiya are very, very literal.

I think that the original is more depressing that Lost Canvas, there are so many unforgettable moment like some of gold saint death.
I speak about the anime of Saint Seiya, because the kurumanga is very bad (no powerful music, very bad chara design). I wasn't very sad when i read Lost Canvas, except in these last chapters (some arts in this spoiler): Spoiler:
Aurora Execution!

I actually thought the deaths of the gold saints were poorly handled in the original. Aioros was dead from the very beginning. The ones who died in the sanctuary were, technically, bad guys at that point (with the exception of Kamus and Shura - their deaths were indeed sad, though) - so, no much sympathy for them. And the battles in Hades arc were far too underwhelming. We didn't get to see Aldebaran's battle - he was dead when we saw him. Shaka was awesome, to the point in which he was basically godly, but he basically made those 3 kill him on purpose. Mu, Milo and Aiolia got their asses handed badly by Rhadamanthys. Dohko died when they destroyed that wall. The only one who got a good battle and death, in my opinion, was Kanon.
In comparison to that, the deaths in Lost Canvas have delivered much more emotion, in my opinion.

Oh, I think the death of gold saint in the original were awesome. Of course, i'm not speaking of death of bad guys like Deathmask or Aphrodite:
Spoiler:
But there were a lot of moments which are very sad like Spoiler:
For Hades arc's battle, I though there were awesome, but that is my point of view. About death in Lost canvas, I think Teshirogi don't give a lot of time about tears and other things. But perhaps in the anime, it will be very sad, because of music. I think the Kurumanga was very bad but the anime was very good (except some arc like Poseidon) because of music and emotion. I hope Teshirogi will do some bad guys like in Asgard arc, the character background in this arc were very good, because there are too many villain character in Hades group...

Man, it seems the Spanish scanlations are really ahead (up to date, perhaps). Hopefully, the English ones will catch up soon (they've been releasing quite fast lately).
Anyway, hopefully, the Lost Canvas anime will have a soundtrack as good as the original. That soundtrack was just beautiful. Anyway, has there been any official popularity poll for Lost Canvas?

I saw Lost Canvas trailers and OAV 1-2 in screener version, i don't like the soundtrack (the one who make D.Gray-man soundtrack).
It's not bad, but not as good as the original (Yokohama) in my point of view. There were character popularity poll in 2007 but today, I don't know. Too bad ^^. In 2007, Albafica was the first! (Of course!! He's the best! It's my nickname ). http://tsubasanews.free.fr/lost_canvas/popularite/

Just read ch. 104 and now I'm wonder..
Spoiler for 104:
I just saw the first episode of the lost canvas ova and I must say it does look pretty good. Too bad it can't just be an anime series so we could see more episodes quickly instead of waiting months for 1 or 2 episodes to appear.

I don't want to spoil you! So I will not speak about chapter 104!
About OAV of Lost Canvas, yes too bad it's not an episode/week but the quality would be not the same. Look at animation, landscapes of Lost Canvas! I think you couldn't do that if it's a TV serie. I want to see Albafica!!
