Jason Thompson describes the series as being 'almost pure battle'. Clements and McCarthy did, however, find the series disturbing in that its main emotional impact comes from the audience seeing 'older boys and men fighting brave but naive teenagers' and through victories earning more weapons. They also praised the grand soundtrack and director Shigeyasu Yamauchi's ability to stretch out the tension and chose the perfect places to stop an episode to keep audiences waiting for the next one.
In The Anime Encyclopedia: A Guide to Japanese Animation Since 1917, Jonathan Clements and Helen McCarthy praises the series' complex plot and felt that animation designers' Shingo Araki and Michi Himeno had worked 'magic' with both the anime series and the films. It would become the inspiration for future series, including several Gundam series such as Mobile Suit Gundam Wing and Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Legend of Heavenly Sphere Shurato, Ronin Warriors, Wild Knights Gulkeeva, and Kurumada's later work B't X. It was considered one of the biggest anime phenomenons of the 1980s. However, Seiya also sacrifices himself by receiving one of Hades' attacks, and the Saints return to Earth with his body. In the final fight against Hades and his two followers, Hypnos and Thanatos, the Saints gain the strongest God Cloths and use them to aid Saori in defeating Hades. Hades then takes Saori to Elysium, and the five Bronze Saints follow them. Saori reaches Hades and expels his soul from Shun's body. In the Underworld, as the Saints fight Hades' Specters, Shun is possessed by Hades. Shion reveals that the revived Gold Saints' true intentions were of giving Saori her own Cloth, and gives it to Seiya's group before dying once again. This act is instead meant to directly send her to the Underworld to face Hades, and the Bronze Saints follow her. The remaining Gold Saints serving Athena are able to subdue the enemies, but Saori then commits suicide.
The third and last arc follows how Hades, the Underworld god, is freed from his seal and revives the deceased Gold Saints and the Pope Aries Shion, and alongside some of his 108 Specters, sends them to the Sanctuary to kill Athena. Shortly afterwards, Saga, having come to his senses, commits suicide as a self-punishment. With help from his friends' Cosmos, Seiya is able to knock out Saga and use the shield from Athena's statue to heal Saori. Following several battles, Seiya gets to the Pope's temple and learns that he is the Gold Saint Gemini Saga, who in his madness killed the real Pope to obtain more power.
To do so, they have to go through 12 temples, each one guarded by one Gold Saint (the most powerful Saints of Athena). Believing the Pope may be able to heal her, the Bronze Saints go to find him. Deciding to join forces with Saori, the Bronze Saints go to the Sanctuary to defeat the Pope, but upon their arrival, Saori is severely wounded by a gold arrow from a Silver Saint. The Sagittarius Gold Saint Aiolos saved Saori but was killed shortly afterwards and gave Saori to her adopted grandfather, Mitsumasa Kido. When they remain victorious, the Bronze Saints learn that Saori is Athena's reincarnation and that the Pope once tried to kill her as a baby. Still is one of the best anime out there and everyone should take a look on this.Upon Ikki's defeat, the Bronze Saints are attacked by the Silver Saints sent by the Sanctuary's Pope to eliminate them. The only part I enjoyed less was the second half, since creator Kurumada hired a new production crew and the animation gets hurt a bit. Like it's predecessor it has many errors and contradictions but its improvements totally make it up. It is now an adventure tale with epic proportions which is a little less focused in the five main characters. I really like the first seasons but this is a much more serious work and you can tell it because it evolved in many aspects like animation, dialog, action sequences and even characters (well that was sort of expected since this part came out more than 15 years from the release of the last one). For this new season the plot improved in every way and it became extremely good, now you have plot twists and sub-plots.
Since the first installment of this series, this anime grew so big and big that it is now a global phenomenon (even if this part is only video available OVA).
