Somewhere, not sure where, but somewhere, JOD is reading your review and smiling. He's content someone else gave it a more then fair review. Can't say I ever liked the most dangerous soldier though. Genocyber, was more enjoyable.

Masami Kurumada had already been doing manga featuring battling bishonen before Seiya when he did Ring ni Kakero & Fuma no Kojirou, not to mention 70s manga Astro Kyudan [not by Kurumada] (which featured a bishonen character) ; Seiya was just animated first. If you want anime, though, Captain Tsubasa (whose first anime series ended in '86) was already featuring cuter-designed characters competing in intense battles, soccer in this case. If anything, Seiya was the first non-sports shonen action anime to feature bishonen; the females were already there, but Seiya took it to the next level.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14379026403924292231noreply@blogger.com
