Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz and a short run with a modest audience, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for action fans and animation lovers.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- 4 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 24 minutes each).
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14: peril. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Hades is planning to take over the world, to achieve that goal, he sends out deceased Gold Saints to take Athena's head. Seiya and the other Bronze Saints come to help but their help isn't appreciated by the remaining Gold Saints that are still alive.
