Out of all Saint Seiya movies, I've always liked this one the most. Is it technically the best out of them? Probably not, but I find it the most entertaining to watch (re-watches included).
It pretty much follows the formula known from the original anime. There is a threat, Saori is in danger, and in order to save her, the Bronze Saints need to conquer several outposts, one above another, guarded by powerful enemies. This time the threat comes from Eris, an evil goddess, and her Ghost Saints. I liked the whole concept and its short but satisfying build-up. The story itself blends well as a side-story to the point of the storyline known from the TV show back when this movie had its premiere, so nothing should feel confusing. Treating it as a very polished filler wouldn't be a mistake.

"Saint Seiya: Jashin Eris" is the typical movie that reminds us why we love (and at the same time laugh at) the 80s classics. The plot is extremely predictable, almost as if it followed a "hero movie" manual: a villain revives, threatens the world, and the Bronze Knights must save the day. There are no surprises, but did anyone watching really expect anything different?
The animation is "ok". It's nothing that will impress those who are used to the fluidity of modern anime, but it does the job, especially considering the era. The soundtrack is a highlight, carrying the epic vibe of the series and elevating even the most absurd moments of the narrative.
And that's where the movie shines: in its "bad, but good" charm. Every exaggerated line, every blow shouted at the top of its lungs, and…

As the first feature-length animation for the Saint Seiya franchise, the film Evil Goddess Eris is somewhat seen as a gateway representation of microcosm of what the franchise has to offer. Calling this film that, however, is the same as saying so for some of the less memorable DBZ films; at best true on a very surface level and at worst a complete misrepresentation of what makes the franchise good.
This is mainly due to both the structure of the plot, the display of its characters and how it relates to the manga at the time. Without spoiling much, the structure of the film is the Goddess Eris doing something that puts Athena at risk, the Bronze Saints having to fight their way through her henchmen (the Ghost Five Saints) before eventually confronting their main threat to save Athena.

1/1 Movie Watched. (Español Disponible)
If you're watching this continuing the Saint Seiya's Anime in order to finish all Saint Seiya's anime raleted stuff, this is a good movie, it doesn't have like a WOW Storyline, because this happens I think in the begining of the original Saint Seiya Anime, the fist one released in 1986-1989. The secuence with this movie is a few chapters from the begining and then is this movie, and later into the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Saga then Asgard Saga and later Posseidon Saga until now. I'm watching this anime in order of relesase.
Meanwhile the art and the sound are great quality and the good thing is we didn't have to wait like 15 episodes for each fight, its 45min you can watch while you eat, wash the dishes or making loundry. In Overall it's good to watc…

This is the first Saint Seiya movie & probably the best one out the original 4 feature films. Saint Seiya Evil God Eris is a short film with a good blend of fighting & animated visuals which should leave you wanting more. If' you're new to Saint Seiya, this a good exposure to begin the anime as it displays much of the series personal style, however the characters aren't as identifiable as the anime.
All of the Saint Seiya movies have basically the same plot (much like the anime) being to rescue the Goddess Athena & defeat the villain & his minions. While the plot may be repetitive & works smoothly in this film as it has a very fast pace & goes straight to the point while highlighting each character's signature techniques.
Out of all the movies, this might have the most ambitious visuals…

This is the st ova installement of saint seiya, and the first saint seiya anime i was introduced to , and boy it made me STRAIGHT ON hooked at the serie´s and later on the whole franschise ( i've seen so far all the ova's , and am busy with the 1980's serie's before Omega come's to pass)
The first time for me immediatly gave a sense that i've seen the concept and big parts of the storyline before in other serie's , Ronin warriors, Shurato ect.ect wich was moderatly simmilair to it, and populair. The art in here is definetly 1980's with a small sense of the so called greek-curly-art at some point to add on the story. The story is not too shabby and is quite fast , but understandable and connectable. maybe not everybody's likings compared to todays anime but i like it ! period! good music-ac…

Ok, since I believe is blasphemy that Saint Seiya doesn't have the propers reviews it deserve, here I am...
Shonens tend to be long. And in that time, movies are made. Almost every time, not very good. Saint Seiya is not the exception, but in general, they're fine. The first one was: Saint Seiya: The Battle with Eris or Saint Seiya: The Legend of the Golden Apple.
Story: The bronze saints are visiting Seiya's orphanage (Ikki don't, cause he's way too cool for stuff like that). There, besides Miho (Seiya's friend) and the orphans, they find Elli (or Ellien, like it says in this page synopsis) a girl that, apparently, work there. Then, cause destiny said so, a huge meteor land in the Earth. In said meteor, rest Eris's spirit (inside a golden apple, actu…
