Newer installments aren't exactly approachable to fans who haven't seen the old series. Both The Lost Canvas and Omega were defintily approachable by new fans though. The Lost Canvas is mostly unrelated to the original series and stand on its own and while Omega had its share a reference it focused on a new cast and new characters and was specifilcally made for a new audience. Ditto for the CG film Legend of Sanctuary released last year. In the modern production I would argue only the recent Soul of Gold was made for old fans in mind, so I feel there was ample opportunity to try to bring the shows to the US with these other latest series (even if the lack of ending of the Lost Canvas anime is an issue per se) -Sergorn Themaster20000. Really, what Saint Seiya needs is a FMA: Brotherhood style release. A modern animation release more accurate to the manga, but with the added benefit of modern animation that FMA didn't need so much.

Of course, since Toei has a death grip on the franchise, that's unlikely (well, I mean, all of that could happen, but Toei will make it with cheap animation). In the hands of the right animation studio, I feel it could find new life here. Damn shame that most likely won't happen, as I love the series (at least Viz digitally re-released the manga.now here's hoping they might one day translate the spin-offs and sequel, even if it's digital only or something).

Saint Seiya was my first anime as a 7 year old, and this has perplexed me as well, since it seems to be quite popular in Asia as well as Latin America and Europe. However, I would disagree that it has a strong team theme. Yes, they're all working towards the same goal, and fight together for the final boss fight, but the majority of the fights are mono-a-mono.

I think, besides the dated designs, is that the first dub available in the US was terrible (I don't remember which one it was, but it was the one shown on Cartoon Network). They changed some of the characters personalities (I still shudder at the fact that they made Hyoga sound like a surfer dude), and IMO made them even less appealing. Two years ago I bought one of those 20 DVDs for $20 mystery boxes from Crunchyroll and the first volume of ADV's Saint Seiya was in there.

That should probably give you a good idea about how poorly it sold. So I popped it in and checked it out, and I thought it was a campy fun time.

It's the kind of show I would have fallen in love with if I had seen it when I was 6 or 7. Of course that would have meant seeing it in the late 80s. I had a good time checking out volume 1, but there was no way in hell I would have bought full price singles in the mid 2000s. IMO, Justin really hit the nail on the head with this one. Huge Saint Seiya is in Latin and South America South America is part of Latin America, naming them both is redundant.

That's like saying 'North America and Canada'. While the show has certainly not aged very gracefully, I don't really see how that was an impediment for it being well received in the US.

Sure for established anime fans it would be hard to get past that look, but if it was aired on TV it should've reached a larger audience. I first watched Saint Seiya when I was in junior high school, some time in 2003-2004 when it re-aired on TV and fell in love with it.

And like others have mentioned, Lost Canvas and Omega could both appeal to newer audiences. It's just that Americans have shit taste. Quote. Timing seems like the most appropriate answer. As for the comment about team-based Sentai shows I think the obsession America has with GoLion aka Voltron shows they are open to it.

In Voltron's case it came out at the right time and was first. Even to this day I see Americans say Power Rangers ripped off Voltron or any kind of sentai team gets compared to Voltron. It was the first so therefore it is the de facto. Saint Seiya airing 20 years after its prime is just too much.Stuart Smith Display posts from previous: -All times are GMT - 5 Hours Goto page 1, Page 1 of 7. The Winter 2019 Anime Season has begun!
