Reminder that there won't be a new Saint Seiya anime in a long, long time after the live action bombed

Feels terrible

>>281246839 (OP)
Is this like a superhero manga

>>281246865
It's the quintaessential battle shounen

>>281246839 (OP)
The CG show is certainly dead considering it was made for synergy with the live action

Nice video that aired on NHK like a week ago

Blame Kuromada for taking a lifespan rinting, only to be stuck at the same fucking point.

>>281249084
Kurumada planned the ending of ND since 2004

>>281246839 (OP)
what the fuck is this shit, holy fuak

>>281250168
And it took him 20 MOTHER FUCKING YEARS TO GET THERE.

We should be past the middle or near the end of the Olympus arc.

Favorite movie?

>>281246839 (OP)
Reminder: the entire CGI project and its movie were plan x, y, w and fucking z to save this intellectual property, they literally have nothing to attract the North American public who are the only ones who had a chance of saving this shit.

Burgers don't get masculinity played straight. Not enough quips.

>>281253389
Seiya is the gayest shit I have ever fucking seen, t. American.

>>281250697
Kurumada has a broken hand and he always saw himself as an artist. He needs to be motivated

>>281253495
>Steven trannyverse, dyke-ra, the lesbian house, lesbian time

>>281254624
Obviously I don't watch those shows retard.

>>281251956
I watched the Abel movie so many times when I was a kid that I can recitate entire dialogues by memory. True story. But I think Overture is objectively the best movie

I think Mackenyu sucks as an actor. I saw him in his Zoro role for the One Piece live action last year, terrible performance. I know Zoro isn't much of a character as most of them in One Piece, but this was pretty bad imo

>>281255290
Mackenyu was miscasted as Seiya

>>281246839 (OP)
good reminder

>>281254767
They all are produced in America and, in theory, aimed to children. They teach children to transition while SS teach the to be men

>>281246839 (OP)
First time hearing about this movie lel

>>281257059
Saint Seiya is the only anime I can think of where a male character was adapted as a woman in later versions.

>>281257059
ss teaches you to seek the warmth of another man, you mean.
>>281257183
>misty
>afrodite
>shun
I wonder why?

>>281246839 (OP)
Not sure how both of those things are related. But the one-two of the Netflix series and that movie definitely killed is americans touching the IP again which is a good thing.

>>281250697
How far are we?
>>281251956
Unironically that one. First time I saw it was a french dub rip I downloaded using Kazaa or something like that.

>>281257515
Toei spent 60$ millions on the live action and as cheap as the CG show looks, it's still not free. Basically they spent a lot of money on SS and it utterly failed by every metric. Toei is licking its wounds now and Kozo Morishita, current head of Toei and original director of the anime, will need really good arguments to convince the Toei board to invest in SS again

>>281257515
>>281257822
Saint Seiya's film and CG outings are, at the very least, decidedly international market centric. There's nothing stopping a new anime from happening, though I would severely doubt it, Kurumada's work just lacks the appeal it once had it seems.
I imagine if a new anime does happen, it'd probably be a Kinnikuman situation where Toei acts as a producer for another studio's efforts.
Honestly though, I'd sooner anticipate a new Ring ni Kakero anime before a new Seiya series, especially with all the retro revivals happening (it's pretty funny how RnK's last 12 episodes STILL aren't subbed after about 15 years lol).

>>281246989
yeah

>>281257890
It'd be great if TMS make a B't X remake loyal to the source.

>>281258525
>YOU ARE THE BEST BUDDIES
For some reason that song gets stuck in my head occasionally.

>>281246839 (OP)
How bad was it?

>>281258732
A plot synopsis should already tell you enough.

Funnily enough the pilot for the american adaptation with all its baggage is a lot better than the live action movie.

>>281258525
Just imagine someone adapt and finish Silent Knight Sho. But people would call it a Tokyo Mew Mew rip-off

>>281247686
yeah

>>281247686
What absolute shitfest.

>>281257822
>Toei spent 60$ millions on the live action
The funny part is that Toei spent so much money for ensuring the actors to participate in the sequel and it'll never be made. Also Toei didn't introduce the full team in the movie because it'd be too expensive. The only reason Toei is still profitable is because they own huge brands with nostalgia value. Toei is managed by fucking apes. Almost as bad as WB

>>281261029
The first season was atrocious but it got better later by starting to follow the manga. Unfortunately it was too little, too late. And fans will never forgive Eugene Son to turn Shun into a woman. I wish it adapt the Poseidon arc though.

>>281248409
nice subs

>>281257382
Trivia: Eugene Son wanted to turn Aphrodite into a female gold saint to fill the quota but the massive rejection to Shaun forced him to leave Aphrodite alone

>>281246839 (OP)
>it's real
i have never heard of this before wtf

>>281261938
>>281257073
The movie was a Japanese-European co-production with Toei bringing most of the cash but Sony was going to distribute it. The problem is Sony was aware of the massive backlash the project received since the first trailer, arguably even since the first pics, so Sony decided to step back and didn't promote the movie. When KOTZ opened, only the most hardcore SSfags were aware and they already hated the movie. The mythical new audience didn't even notice KOTZ exist so it was literally a movie for no one.

>>281261376
Have you read Saint Mariya, for mental health Shun will continue to be the gay Adonis of fetish only in the manga, in the animated world he will be what he always was, a woman.

>>281246865
Not really, they're usually not involved in saving the public, instead it's more constellation themed knight vs knight combat.

>>281251956
This one sucks
Abel>Asgard>Ellis>Overture>Lucifer

>>281247686
Good.

Good. Let this zombie franchise rest for good.

>>281256246
Yeah, but he was very, very far from being the worst thing of the movie.

>>281260620
Evil Crusher Maya is the best Kurumada short manga. It's basically a hotblooded version of Vampire Hunter D.

>>281253495
Americans are the only ones who think onturning blood into green ooze

>>281246839 (OP)
Why are northamericans completely unable to get into this series?

>>281263226
they hate anything without black peoples

>>281246839 (OP)
As an OmegaCHAD, I am glad that my series rightfully finished, with the best cast and the best final bosses in the series.
I always knew this nostalgia pandering would never work, but nostalfags whined and got their 100s cancelled remakes, KEK.

>>281255290
i reckon he does the best he can considering he's put into almost all of the anime adaption movies. same with kento yamazaki in kingdom and golden kamuy, maybe even alice in borderland. you're not going to turn these roles down if they come to you even if you don't suit the main lead.
