[Digital] Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas Episode #06 Review

[Chris Beveridge]

Review by Chris Beveridge



Mania Grade: B+

In Summary:
Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas hits some really good material here as it sets the personal scale of events rather well by showing us that fights among characters that we don't know that well, and whose histories won't be fully explained to us mid fight, can still resonate because of the choreography and execution of it. There's a lot to like here with how it unfolds as well as the brief couple of minutes afterward which deals with revelations on both sides about how the Holy War is progressing, and the secret that Specter's can't actually be killed whereas the Saints obviously can. While Tenma is out of the picture, Alone as Hades has a good moment and Athena herself stands out strongly, if briefly, with her resolute nature in dealing with the threat. This is a very fun episode that covers a lot of good ground.
