They loved each other deeply and the mentor knew there was only one way to cause Nero's Cosmo to grow. It all began with Nero having to kill his demonic mentor six year prior on Death Queen Island, a volcanic place where the mysterious teacher murdered his own daughter, Esmeralda, to make Nero go over the edge. He was separated from his sister, Andromeda Shun, and even though they'd be reunited six years later, this season sees him trying to kill her as he thinks personal connections and love make him weak. I honestly think that was unecessary.This suit could only be worn by someone who's totally been consumed by hate, which is what Nero represents. But from the looks of it, when you watch it in English or even use English subtitles, they have changed everybody's name completely.


One last thing though, I watched it in Japanese so the names they call between one another has not changed. I do think there is a way to do so without dragging the story for unending number of episodes where nearly nothing happens, but Netflix hasn't quite found the right formula yet.īut comparing Netflix's version to the original, the original still seems to be better in my eyes. The problem with today's world is that we have an annoying tendency to not show any blood in animation and although in some cases I approve of that (when it comes to very young children cartoons), in cases such as an anime like Saint Seiya it shouldn't be prohibited.Īnother thing that annoyed me in this story version is the lack of some lore following.Īside from these two problems, I do not care whether Shun is an efiminate man (which he originally is) or a woman as long as the story was fine.Īnd I do appreciate that they jump over those long and frankly boring moments in the original where they all go so emotional. The story was interesting, modified though and not for the better I guess in certain areas. Upon viewing all 6 episodes that were released, I have to say that it was actually pretty good in its own unique way.
