Enjoyable but not particularly great Saint Seiya spinoff with touches of Dragonball under a different skin
7 March 2023
And I guess you'll wonder why I'm saying that this is a Saint Seiya spinoff if the main characters in here are all dogs. The reason is very simple: you can clearly see under the surface that who made this had Saint Seiya in mind because it follows almost the same beats of that series (a puppy growing under the harsh tutelage of a instructor, the search for more dogs to fight a main villain, the copius amount of blood, etc. Etc. Etc.) to the point of having the Seiyuu of Ikki Phoenix returning in the fur of a character which main trait originally is the one of the lone wolf of the group (see what I did there?) of Ikki himself. Fun until episode 17, when the producers clearly stopped being interested in this project alltogether I guess for funding reasons and the writing took a severe nosedive, with sparse suicide innuendos and overblown violence which not only gets comical but it also reeks of the usual japanese way of doing things I. E. ramping up to the extreme the violence and the sex elements (non-existant here by default) because of a complete lack of ideas (see Jungle Taitei reboot from this same era).
