Retail version in Mexico? I guess I am importing it! Should be cheaper to import than from Europe.
I greatly enjoyed the ps2 game The Hades.
Fun as hell. Simple, yet deep…sorta like ultimate ninja and budokai games
p.s.
DBZ and Saint Seiya are like the 2 best shonen anime you could ever watch. way better than naruto or one piece,…though one piece and naruto are good too.
Bleach is 3rd on my fav shonen list.
I’ll get it if Siegfried makes it in.
To this day i am still sad to see the Asgard God Warriors being criminally left out of everything, yes i know that they come from a filler, but they still have fans :shake:
Asgard was too good, best season in my opinion.
Words cannot describe how much I hate those shitty 3D fighters a la Naruto games. All they do is waste time that could’ve been spent on a fighting game with a better camera. It really pains me that they aren’t doing something better with this license.
Any Mexican residing in Mexico? I need to find a retailer that ships to USA.
try ebay. or post up on the ebay forums and petition someone to sell it to you. oh, theres ioffer.com too. just don’t ever buy from Chinese sellers on ioffer. you will be ripped off.
Saint Seiya and Gaogaigar are some of the shows I wish were on the USA toonami, they would’ve definitely blew up in popularity here.
Saint Seiya were on USA toonami, it just failed because the dubbing was so horrible, and they changed the music. They stopped dubbing episodes at about less than third of the show. I always tell English native speakers if they want to watch the series, they can watch it subbed at sites like gogoanime.com so they don’t miss out on such a great anime.
Wow that’s pretty sad lol
Tell me about it, I was expecting it to be blow in popularity, as you said. Check out the American opening
They really used Flock of Seagulls to replace the original opening theme?
You forgot Fist of the North Star.
Never. Ever. Forget. Fist. Of. The. North Star.
Bleach should not be on any top 10 shonen anime list, period.
They’ve changed the series’ title all around the world because of being afraid that religious fanatics would get butthurt at the word “saint” being applied to anything other than the Italian flavor of Christianity (that is, the CC “saints”). The worst part of it being that they were probably right. So the “saints” vanished, being replaced by “knights.”
It’s not a great series, though: it’s aimed at a too young audience, despite the violence, so the plot is pretty shallow.
But at the time of its broadcast, Saint Seiya felt so cool.
Saint Seiya was influential to the shonen genre though. It was actually the first shonen, even prior to Dragon Ball, to establish the formula “Never kill your main characters or in case you do, resurrect them soon afterwards”.
Also the Japanese soundtrack was very good and it was one of the few series to give time to the secondary cast.
Of course it lacked in animation and used recycled themes so much to the point of being labeled as the shonen equivalent of Sailor Moon.
Such series should only be watched in retrospect. Of course it would suck if you compare it with the technically superior new shonen series.
Now regarding the countless continuations and spin-offs both in anime and manga, I didnt bother. They are very successful it seems but they cater to Saint Seiya fans and not shonen fans in general like the first series.
Anyone been reading Next Dimension? I haven’t been reading it since years ago, but apparently a 13th golden saint, Serpentarius Ophiuchus, has been revealed.
I thought Sheeina was the Ophiuchus saint.
Wow… I use to watch toonami like… Every day and I don’t remember this. Must’ve been so bad that I erased it from my memory lol
I’m not reading Next Dimension because the art has aged terribly, but doesn’t that take place in the past?
