Saint Seiya: Heaven Chapter - Overture

Lushly animated epilogue to the series (which has, thankfully, since been retconned), featuring the Saints facing off against Moon Goddess Artemis. Would have been better off without at least half an hour of its running time; and, stripped of any interesting enemies to fight, the rather creepy religious fanaticism of Seiya and co toward their goddess, Athena, is uncomfortably prominent. To top it all off, it concludes on a decidedly undecided note, leading one to lament one's lost ninety minutes. Ah, well: at least Seiya doesn't spam the crap out of his Ryu Sei Ken attack, this time, so gratitude for minor mercies, and all that...

This movie changes the Saint Seiya genre for good. Leave the "Shounen" side in the background and take a more "Seinen" oriented direction. It includes more mature themes, the animation is incredible, the music is outstanding and it has a very attractive artistic style.

This movie is...

Highly artistic in the drawing (shingo araki last movie), music (seiji yokoyama last movie) and storyline (kurumada)..

It is a dark , melancholic, but very mature in the plot.

That was the best saint seiya movie when combining all three

Sad that the plot was aborted at the end..
