I always wondered how come this anime did not become as well known as Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon and Yu Yu Hakusho. I mean it stared in the 80′s and 90′s with Sailor Moon and DBZ. I believe that Saint Seiya should get as much exposure as DBZ and Sailor Moon because of how creative it is . The plot and the idea of this anime in the 1980′s was true innovation in the anime world and something that was never seen before.

The story

Saint Seiya Omega begins years after the Knights of the Zodiac fight Poseidon. A new enemy arises. Mars the god of war. We still get to see the legendary Sagittarius Seiya. Our main hero Kouga is the new saint of the Pegasus constellation. Kouga was raised by Saori the new reincarnation of Athena. Kouga was seemed to haven been born when Athena fought Mars. When darkness and light collided two children were born. Aria and Kouga. Aria was taken and raised by Mars and Kouga was raised by Athena. Mars and his new friends, the saints of Lionet, Aquila, Wolf, Orion and Dragon aim to put a stop to Mars’ plans to take over the world.

What I like about Saint Seiya Omega is how the cloths gain elemental powers. Pegasus of course has the element of light. We will be seeing Saints from the previous saga’s such as Hyoga the Swan and Adromeda Shun. The new villians are freaking awesome. The fighting is just as good if not better than previous sagas. But this is only the Mars Saga.

Saturn Saga.

We get to see new transformed cloths with incredibly done new designs in the Saturn Saga. In this saga we also get to see the new level of cosmo which they are calling omega. The transformations in this series are so beauty it brought tears to my eyes (metaphorically speaking of course). It seems like the new generation of Saints are unable to reach the level of Omega while the new young generation have discovered how to reach it by working as one.

In this Saga Athena is at war with Pallas the goddess of love. Athenas saints march to war and yes even the gold saints are back to fight. Also legendary saints like Ikki the phoenix, Shiryu of Libra and much more. What I didnt like about this saga was the introduction of steel saints. When I saw this I scratched my head and all I could think about is how ugly the design of the armor was. Steel saints…..are you serious what about copper saints or nickel saints or wood saints or titanium saints. The armor of the steel saints looks like Gundam armor. It makes them look like cars which I think its really ugly. They could have made steel saints look better I mean bronze, silver and gold saint armor have such incredible designs that it seems to me the creators just slacked with steel saints. Then again steel saints armor was done by science rather than traditionally made armor.

Other than the ugly steel saints armor everything else was great. The enemies armor are called the Chronotectors because the enemies powers involve the use of time. I must say I am please with Saint Seiya Omega.

Also I forgot to mentioned that the designed of Casshern Sins is the designer for Saint Seiya Omega. Although Casshern Sins sucks as an anime the designs were pretty cool.

Anime and comics gives Saint Seiya Omega an 8.5 out of 10
