I forgot they didn't finish the new Sanctuary Arc! I hear that it's much improved compared to the first season of the CG reboot.

To be fair, this trailer actually gives off the feeling of it actually being Saint Seiya, since it's literally the fights with the Gold Saints now. I haven't seen the first season, but the primary problems I kept hearing were pretty much due to all of the various changes made to the plot, since Seiya has a rather rough & ill defined start to it; it doesn't really find good footing until the Silver Saints get introduced. Once it starts doing the battles with the Gold Saints, though, there really isn't anything you can change, without totally altering the entire story & by that point it might as well be its own original story.

Having become a part of that .01% of Americans who actually love Saint Seiya, I can now say with certainty I just hate this show, the second season might've been manga faithful but it was still just not enjoyable for me to watch. I tried on multiple occasions to finish this first part of sanctuary but every episode was just a slog of unhappiness. Literally the only thing I want at this point is for this reboot's voice cast to just dub the Hades OVAs, I'd ask for the movies too but I know none of this is likely gonna happen (honestly the fact the entire original series got dubbed in the first place is a miracle). At this point the only reasonable thing I feel like I can ask for is just for the Lost Canvas dub to be made available somewhere again.

At least Kurumada will be given a reason to return and finish Next Dimension? That manga has been hitting its climax for a while and he often returns based on promotion.

They already confirmed the last 8 chapters would be coming out in a few months.

It was already long announced that Next Dimension would be finishing up with the latest run he's been doing, and that the final chapters will come out this Summer. This was announced around the time Otoko Zaka got finished up, so Kurumada doesn't need a "reason" to do what he wants to do. Let the man do whatever he wants to do after 50 years.
