Nope, never got those. And yeah, I remember how huge the price was for that version of Seiya back then, but no one would actually even think about buying him. XD

But, if people don't watch it, Netflix isn't going to add more. That's the trick, sadly.
In the Heaven Chapter Overture OVA you see Seiya and Saori naked and they have no body hair
Body hair is already something scarce in Asian people
In anime is almost inexistent.
I'm extremely happy with the quality , dub and it's in so many languages !
Netflix makes it hard to find tho ...I typed saint seiya and it didn't come out -- until I saw something that started with "collection of saint seiya" so that's how I found it.
I'm scared to watch what's available in Netflix because I hear this is the first season?
And I do not want to get hooked and than sad it's not complete. :(

Kinda hoping this new push from netflix revives the marketing too. Saint Seiya figures are among the most impressive anime figures.
They are kinda hard to find now, even at release. Back in the lastest craze you could just enter a toy shop and find them, the boxes and instructives were even localized.
I've always enjoyed looking at Seiya SH Figuarts. They are really nice! There's a local snack shop here where the owner has a bunch of glass cases full of his figures. On one side are his Seiya figures, and the gold ones are soooo nice looking! It looks like nowadays they are mostly Bandai exclusive, and every time I see one import site I use put them up, they sell out pretty much immediately :x
Pretty sure they will add the entire series, but I still think they should have put everything with subs and add the dub later. It's funny because in Latam I can choose english dub (and sub) until episode 41 lol

So far I'm enjoying my years overdue rewatch of Saint Seiya. The dialogue occasionally just cracks me up:
Thanks for including that in the dub script as well, I needed the laugh after this long day. Going to remember this scene when I watch Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back with Reboot tomorrow.
You know, I hope this dubbing phase continues through the old anime, into the Hades OVAs, and even hits the Movies and spin-offs. Let's go 100% in Netflix.
Oh yeah, that fight is super intense, the series was not afraid to get bloody.

As a super young kid in the late 80s/early 90s, I watched Ronin Warriors then decided these Saint dudes looked like some dweebs and never got into it beyond a few episodes.
Might as well watch it now I guess.

Fun note, Ronin Warriors (Yoroiden Samurai Troopers) took a fair bit of influence from Saint Seiya, and ran towards the second half of Saint Seiya's run.
Do let us know what you think, I'd love to hear more about people's first time with the series.
Here is a Saint Seiya continuity timeline guide of knights of the zodiac wonder if we could see the movies OVAs added as well. Any word on season 2 of kotz Netflix?
By the way, in Latin America they added it, it's complete and they divided it in 6 seasons, note that the later episodes do not have english subs/dubs unlike the earlier episodes, so I guess they simple weren't translated yet.
He's probably the second strongest Gold Saint after Saga.
Ronin Warriors is ass compared to Saint Seiya. I liked Ronin Warriors as a kid but looking back it doesn't hold up that well.
I remember seeing it and thinking it was weird that it was somewhat promoted as a "Saint Seiya replacement" in here, I guess because they had armors and whatnot.
Is there English dubbing after the initial 15 episodes? Because while there might be 41 episodes up in NA, uhh the English dub just straight disappears after episode 15. Super disappointing I was really enjoying it..

Ah episode 3, the Cygnus vs Hydra fight. I always did love Hyoga's intro fight, though yeah, changing Hyoga's motivation from the manga kinda sucked.
I mean, it takes time to make a dub. We'll probably get it "season by season" as time goes on.
I liked that Sanctuary sent Hyoga there to assassinate the traitors breaking the rule about fighting for personal gain, yet he ends up being convinced to stay his hand when he sees there must be some greater reason for their fighting.

Sure... But I was first and foremost making sure I did not have a unique problem. But secondly, their method of distribution makes no sense. This is a 100+ episode show I believe? Of which Netflix added the first 41. Of which 15 are dubbed. Are they going to add this show to their Recently Added if they decide to upload more sub-only seasons? Or as they upload completed dubs?
Netflix tend to be extremely inconsistent in how they handle dubs and distribution, and I would imagine long time fans (I'm a newcomer) would like to see the show be as successful as possible, given its history in NA. But I think Netflix do a great job of sabotaging themselves.
Baki - uploaded in completed seasons. Even when the second season was already complete they waited until dubbing before uploading
Saint Seiya Lost Canvas - Apparently started out with sub only before adding individual episodes dubs
One Punch Man - Had the dub... Until it didn't, now sub only
The Devil is a Part-Timer - Same issue (I get these last two are probably licensing issues)
There might be more examples but it's just something I've noticed that unless I actively go through their lists, clicking on each title and checking the audio options, I have no clue what I can even watch in English.
It's not the end of the world, but this show definitely looks like the most unique dub distribution method yet. From a marketing perspective, I absolutely think they should have only uploaded what they had dubbed.
But oh well, I started watching Hunter x Hunter instead, a surprisingly baller show considering I hadn't liked a couple of random episodes I caught on Adult Swim. Hope I remember to come back to this some vague date in the future when they may have or may have not uploaded dubs!
As much as it pains me to admit, as I love saga the most, shaka is the strongest. His cosmo ia the strongest.

It absolutely is, it was confirmed by the person who did the subs. It seems to have the Netflix cast (minus Shun).
Definitely long overdue for a new dub.
Lol Jabu got another one folks!
his streak is legendary that bait and switch is the stuff of legends.
It is. It's still a really weird decision of netflix to stop the dubbing there.
He's literally the first character we see you can't blame me for thinking he was gonna be more important.
Love people watching Saint Seiya for the first time, one of the better animes I watched. The OST is god tier. Speaking of tiers, Gold Saints tierlist:
-Top Tier
Aioros
Saga
Dohko
Shaka
Camus

-Middle Tier
Aioria
Milo
Shura
-Low Tier
Aphrodite
Death Mask

If this happen my life would be LITERALLY complete. Like, it's my complete "it's never happening but I'd kill for it to happen" media thing.
bruuuh
Man Shiryu destroying Death Mask is too good. It fit both him and Aphrodite get trashed that hard.
One of my favorite moments from that arc, I think it's the angriest we see Shiryu in the whole series.
Part 2 with the Silver Saints is already in development, I think they got renewd for a third part with the golden saints
Not going to lie this was hype as hell.
Also Saintia Sho (manga) also explains Santuary Aphrodite and damn hype hype hype the anime sailed past that moment horribly.
If it makes you feel any better, I pointed out above that isn't where the dubbing stops. It stops after episode 15.
