Anyone else feel the Hades chapter was rushed? : r/SaintSeiya : r/SaintSeiya Saint Seiya: Hades is a direct-to-video
Saint Seiya: Hades is a direct-to-video OVA adaptation of Masami Kurumada’s Hades Chapter from the Saint Seiya manga. Released between 2002 and 2008, it completes the long-running saga of the Bronze Saints against Hades and his Specters, delivering darker themes, higher stakes, and some of the franchise’s most consequential moments.
The OVAs maintain the distinctive art style of the original series while updating the animation. The battles are often more dynamic, and the character designs adhere closely to Kurumada's original manga.
This chapter is split into two parts (Zhenshou-hen and Koushou-hen).
