This was the first "Saint Seiya" movie that I've watched in my life: In some ways it was slightly different than the other movies, but in many ways, it was practically more of the same usual stuff: A new enemy appears, the new enemy kidnaps the goddess Athena/Saori; Seiya and company went to fight against this new enemy and they battle separately the minions of this new enemy, and at the last moment, when everything seems lost, Seiya uses the Sagittarius Gold Cloth to defeat the new enemy, and Athena and the World are saved.
But despite that, I still enjoyed this movie a bit more than the others, since it had a slightly more complex story and a better character development. Sure, at the end, this sticks to the classic formula which I described above, but unlike the other movies, this was more entertaining to watch, and had some interesting and beautiful scenes.
The animation and the designs were pretty good, being on of the most impressive works ever done by the great Shingo Araki: The fighting scenes were impressive and cool, and the music composed by the great Seiji Yokoyama is wonderful as always, giving this film a truly epic feeling despite of the predictability of the plot.
The last scene was very beautiful, being, in my opinion one of the most memorable moments in the entire "Saint Seiya" history.
