This was one of the best manga I read. I just wished they concluded the fights. I feel so many things are missing.

Wish to read more Episode G and hope it gets an anime

Curiously there have been rumors of an anime even a decade ago but it was an April's Fool. Heard there was a CD drama but after Soul of Gold I think Toei doesn't want to touch the manga.

Now that Assassin is over, I'd love it if Okada finally did something with the Titans who were still alive at the end of the original Episode G series.

It’s rather sad only Saintia Sho has been localized.

I’m interested in reading Epiosde G or Lost Canvas, especially Lost Canvas after watching the anime.

Hey, if Saintia Sho does well enough for Seven Seas, then I'm sure they wouldn't mind giving Episode.G a try.

Yes, actually many things left unfinished in Episode G

- The Remaining Titans
- Pontus and his scheme
- Prometheus
- Gaia?
- Episode G A Connection with original Episode G
- Aiolos, what happened to him at the end of Eps G A, also Arthur?

It's a bit premature to claim G.Assasin is ending. The last chapter only mention that the "Assasin Chapter come to a close" while announcing a new chapter. While it could means that Episode G.A is ending and will be remplaced by a new series, it could also just means it's starting a new arc of G.A, or it could possibly continue just with a change of name. Either way it has not accounced the end of G.A per se, and indeed the chapter literrally ends with Seiya saying "the War begins" so we're obviously going to continue the battle against Aiolos and his Gold Saints with the original Bronze Five front and center as Gold Saints now that Aiolia and Shura are gone.

Aiolos mentions "Pontus the black sea" in one of G.A's special chapter, so that connection might still come...

Episode G WAS actually considered as the next Saint Seiya anime after Elysion ended, but in the end Kurumada Production and Akita shipped The Lost Canvas around, probably because it was newer and easier to adapt.

And I don't want TOEI to ever touch Episode G : they don't have the means the create an anime to give it justice and after the mess than was Saintia Shô, Akita will hopefully tell TOEI to go to hell the next time they want to adapt one of their StS manga.
