[Avok]

Looks pretty good.

 

[SharkBait]

the cgi future will bring us ever closer to fully AI generated animes at the hands of nflx.

 

[Obitooooo]

It´s awful...

 

[Scruffy8642]

Looks way better than practically every attempt at full CGI in anime, so that’s promising.

 

[FengarGB]

I think it looks awful too, that's a shame.

 

[Tamil]

Not a fan of that CGI & cringey dub. Also reminds me of Deku's cringey dub.

HeroAca is irrelevant. BLeachs absence is concerning.

No Slam Dunk?

 

[SharkBait]

No Slam Dunk?

isnt Kurobas the national treasure of basketball manga and had more cultural significance for JPN? I cant imagine any voters choosing slam dunk over it.

 

[savethecat]

The CG looks great to me...

 

[TyVip]

lol 5653 participants.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

One Piece above Dragon Ball surprises me.

 

[Tarot]

The CGI looks awful. Watch Houseki no Kuni if you think this was a better attempt at CG anime.

Saint Seiya Netflix series trailer

Not bad, but they changed Shun's sex, why is he a female?

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

PD: Pisces Afrodita will also be a girl, I'm seeing it

 

[CuriousReborn]

Wait, they changed a character gender? But why?

Welp, I just saw why and it is as stupid as one may think.

 

[Maxy Barnard]

Great choice changing Shun, tbh. Every new reader goes in thinking they’re a girl anyway so it doesn’t hurt none, and it diversifies the line-up a little. Honestly they coulda done another bronze knight as well and it’d be cool

 

[Tarot]

What the fuck? Why did they change his gender?

Is there an explanation?

Spoiler

The big question: "Why change Andromeda?"

This one is all on me.

When we started developing this new updated series, we wanted to change very little. The core concepts of Saint Seiya that make it beloved are so strong. Most of it holds up well even thirty years later.

The only thing that concerned me: the Bronze Knights with Pegasus Seiya are all dudes.

Now the series has always had fantastic strong dynamic female characters, and it reflects in the tremendous number of women who are passionate about the Seiya manga and anime.

Today the world has changed. Guys and girls working side-by-side is the default. We're USED to seeing it. Right or wrong, the audience could interpret an all-male team as us trying to make a STATEMENT about something.

And maybe 30 years ago seeing women punching and kicking each other wasn't a thing. But today? Not the same.
