The second season of Saint Seiya Omega ended today and it was... a trainwreck.

The original season was pretty good, part sequel, part reimake, it took the story arcs of the original season but with a new cast and antagonists, The Galaxian Wars became Palaestra, then the Silver Saints showed up and then there was a race to complete the 12 Houses.

It was a new Saint Seiya for a younger fanbase, but it had good execution an enjoyable storyline and a strong cast.

Second season, completely dropped all that, in fact it completely forgot it's protagonists for most of the season, only the first few eps and the finale focused on them, with no real growth or depth added to them, instead their screen time was sacrificed for apperances from characters from the original saga, even the original Steel Saints reappeared, and truth to be told, nobody cares about them, the result was a very broken and disjointed story which felt incredibly repetitive as the saints essentially fought the same 2 or 3 villains for 50 or so episodes, it had it's moments and Subaru was a pretty cool guy, but all things said it was an incredibly dissapointing second season, and an even worse goodbye to the show.

Ohh well, I'll try to remain optimistic for the new SS movie, Legend of Sanctuary.
