sts_omegaLate to the party because I'm that kid who just has to be lured in with candy and chocolate to get in the van in the form of this comm. I think that as long as I can look forward to discussions here, I'll still be able to keep my sanity. X3;;
I just watched the first episodelike a motherf*cking adult NO WAIT and all I can think about is this --
Otherwise, I have thoughts on the actual episode 8D!
Animation Quality (since it's the one that stood out to me most):
Typical "wait for the Blu-ray release for better quality". I'm watching this thing on a streaming site and I really wonder as to how this animation (if downloaded as-is in 720p) would look on an HDTV, or an HD monitor. Some frames were obviously done in a rush, they also skimped on giving Saori actual facial expressions to animate Sparklemars' sparkly leotard.
However! Snippets of hand-to-hand combat are actually quite nice and I look forward to more of that.
Music:
The OP, I'm sure I'll grow into, but it just starts out too weak for me. I'm used to my StS having energy at the get-go. The score in general however, I like very much. ♥
Quips on the Story-so-far:
Exploring the story of someone living the life of someone supernatural/superhuman/extraordinary as opposed to those lived by the 8-to-5 masses; or living the life of duty as opposed to the life of pleasure is nothing new but is always appealing, and the Saint Seiya fandom doesn't fall short on that. Lost Canvas tried to explore on that via the Gaiden series, and now Omega, I feel, will explore that a little more (what with quips on Saori wanting Kouga to live a normal life from the getgo).
I am in the camp of Seiya-is-still-in-a-coma btw.
Voice Acting:
Kouga's VA does a good job so far that I got goosebumps in that scene where Kougatwerp tries to get Saori back (until that shoujo transformation sequence came along and killed my Moment). I like hearing the age in Saori and Shaina's voice and it's refreshing to hear Furuya as Seiya again, as opposed to him playing Ribbons.
Mars... *shaking head* He has that voice where "will obviously get the crap out of him at the finale" kind. It's cartoonish, it's comical, it's stereotypical "baddie of theweek show" kind -- I can't take him seriously. HE GAVE ATHENA COOTIES EEEWWW.
Highlights:
(+) Shaina beating the crap out of Kouga and playing bodyguard extraordinaire to Saori;
(-) Each Mars appearance that just never fails to make me erupt in lols. Will he explode in glitters when he's defeated?
Will prolly watch ep2 within the week so as I can catch up with you guys. X3;;
