Nagiza, I think I am begining to see the point of your reviews.
Forgive me if I was a little slow before, but now I think I am
beginning to see the point. Good Work!

That one wasn't mine, though. That was Chris Shephard's review. Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop

Nagiza, have you seen the Hades saga? Have you seen the Asgard or Poseidon sagas? Have you seen the movies? Do you know anything about saint seiya's theme of not giving up and givin git all you got? Find me an anime that develops such reality and I will tell you saint seiya sucks.

What the hell? I just told you the Saint Seiya reviews aren't mine. Why are you pitching a fit at me just because someone else simply does not like your favourite little cartoon. I haven't even seen the series, I honestly don't care to (don't even get me started on your little "challenge" to find something better), and I never wrote the reviews. Quit blaming me for others' work and jumping on my back for a show I haven't even considered thinking about maybe watching if the mood ever struck me that I might possibly someday be interested. Confused

1. It's an old review written by Chris Shepard three years ago.

2. The name is Nagisa.

3. In front of masterpieces like NTHT, Saint Seiya really sucks. It's okay to show main character's strong spirits, yet if the main character has nothing worthy other than his "strong spirits," the story would soon become laughable, if not annoying.

Go now and read more SD Seiya.

Just tell me how old you are and then I will see some things for myself. Just tell me your age and the age of that other guy.
And I never try to make you watch saint seiya. I don't really care if you like it or not what I do care about is if people back talk about it. That's all. Is no fit just some support.

Search it on this site. Or just make a guess. Anyway, I wonder where you were when I started reading Saint Seiya when it started serialization in 1986.

This thread has become pointless. Don't you think so, Nagi? Wink

What is it about Saint Seiya fans, at least of the sort that get vocal about it on anime message boards?

I have no grudges against people defending shows they like, "De gustibus non est disputandum" and all that, but the militant Saint Seiya fans on the Internet seem to have this zealous "you HAVE to like it, it's impossible not to like it, and, if you don't like it, it's only because you haven't seen the right episodes/story arcs" streak that is unmatched by militant fans of any other anime, even the pseudo-intellectual stuff.

I don't doubt that there are plenty of reasonable, not-quite-so-vocal, Saint Seiya fans that admit that the show won't appeal to everybody (it's certainly not my cup of tea, but a lot of things with large followings aren't my cup of tea, like Fullmetal Alchemist and Lord of the Rings), and I'm not trying to paint all Saint Seiya fans with the same brush, it's just the zealotry and the incapability to accept negative reviews seems to be particularly prevalent in the Saint Seiya fandom.

What the hell does this have to do with liking, disliking, or even having any motivation to watch Saint Seiya whatsoever?

That makes a lot of sense. So people are allowed to dislike the series, but they're forbidden from saying so? Sorry, no, it doesn't work that way. That's ludicrous, at best.

Anyway, this is ridiculous. You apparently still blame US for some other guy's review, in which he expressed an honest opinion that's equally valid, though opposite in stance to yours. You can't take it when someone disagrees with you, and you continue to blame us for it. Grow up, please.

Locked.
