SAINT SEIYA
LEGEND of SANCTUARY


Finally the 6th Saint Seiya OVA, the last being 'Saint Seiya: Tenkai Hen Overture' released in 2004. Being a superb Masami Kurumada's fan (especially when it comes to 'Saint Seiya'), I really look forward to this all CG-based OVA. I'll finally get to see cool animation on the attacks and Cloths. Yeah I know they already have it on PS2/PS3 games but that is just different. Game is game. Anime is anime. BUT, there is always a 'but'. Biggest let down is the fact that it reminds me too much of Final Fantasy. The styling is just so different than that of Kurumada's. Why must they change the freaking design? Why can't they just stick with the original design? Sigh...

Nevertheless, I am so absolutely gonna catch this!  :D

THE NAYs
Looking too much like Final Fantasy-lor
Original essence completely lost :(
Seiya looks more like an antagonist... aiks!

Saint Seiya - Legend of Sanctuary

29 September 2013

With plenty of time to spare these days, I re-watched some of the animes and cartoons during my childhood period. What I didn't know about was:

DRAGON BALL
  • Gohan and Videl married and had a daughter called Pan.
  • Pan had a grandson called Goku Jr.
  • Trunks got his sword from his idol, a legendary hero alien.
  • Trunks have a younger sister called Bulla.
  • Buu and Mr. Satan  became best friends.
  • Vegeta can be so silly.
  • Vegeta has a younger brother called Tarble.
  • Goku and Vegeta can fused together and become Gogeta / Veku (failed version).
  • Six(6) good hearted Saiyans can combined together to become One(1) Super Saiyan God.
  • Goku in his Super Saiyan God form may not be even beat God of Destruction, Bills.
  • Even Shenrong is intimidated by the presence of the God of Destruction, Bills.
DORAEMON
  • Doraemon was originally yellow with ears but destroyed by a malfunction robotic mouse.
  • Dorameon's blue color was the result of over-crying (yellow paint faded off).
  • Much like Nobita, Doraemon was originally quite a useless robot who fails in all things.
  • Doraemon's original master is Nobita's great grandson in the future.
SAINT SEIYA
  • Mu was the one who helped Shaka brought back Ikki during the 12 temple war.
  • Shun was portrayed as terribly weak across all Saint Seiya Movies.
  • Masami Kurumada created 3 fighers of the (almost) same constellation - namely Lyra Orphee (Hades), Lyra Orpheus (Movie),  Mime Benetnasch (Asgard).
  • In Saint Seiya: Legend of Crimson Youth, the God of Light is Abel, not Apollo as mistakenly translated in Chinese subtitles.
  • Apollo appeared in the final Saint Seiya Movie, Saint Seiya: TenKaiHen Josou Overture.
  • In Next Dimension, Shaina found an old Ophiuchus (Gold Saint?) temple.
  • In Omega, Shiryu (the new Libra Saint) has a son called Ryuho (the new Dragon Saint).
  • In Omega, Shun became a healer.
That's alot I didn't know. Animes (and Mangas too) are amazing! Everytime I re-watched the episodes, I'm bound to find something new. And then suddenly, everything made sense. Wow.. the effort the creators, producers and publishers put together and compiled into is marvelous. Thank you for all the wonderful time and entertainment.
