Saint Seiya Saintia Sho – Episode 1
This show seems designed to appeal to a roughly middle-grade audience, painting its battle of good and evil in broad strokes along familiar emotional beats and centering on a strong familial bond.

Picturing the face of the Netflix acquisitions team as they realized they’d paid their usual exorbitant sum of money not for another Devilman Crybaby or Aggretsuko or even Kakegurui, but a poorly paced, fugly wreck that would embarrass itself on JibJab circa 2004… well, that mental image really got me through this, the longest 23 minutes of my life.
