However, he allowed a Shoujo author, Teshirogi Shiori, to do the art for this respective title for the original manga.

I say this is a very good introduction in the same way the Hades Sanctuary Arc respectively was.Art and AnimationAs one can see, the original art design isn't done by Kurumada Masami. The OAV ends at an understandable place and of course a sequel has been confirmed and the way it ends just makes you wish to watch that sequel already. Though they will only have short appearences, they do make a significant contribution to the progression of the story. The villains are still pretty much the same from the Hades OAVs, but still have their own unique personalities and qualities in which they all stand out. Some of the Gold Saints have their own central episodes and you get to learn about them.

Despite that, I found it very surprising how their relationship develops in the course of this series from bitter rivals, to cooperative partners that will always have each other's backs. The series for this season is pretty well evenly paced and I like how it focuses on certain characters in certain episodes, and it's not just exclusively about Tenma. They are very similar and yet they are always at each other's throats. The relationship Yato and Tenma have is kind of like a Ranma and Ryoga/Inuyaha and Kouga kind of one. They're both fighters, but they express it in those kinds of ways. What I also found interesting is that the current incarnation of the Unicorn Bronze Saint, Yato, has a lot more use in comparison to the original series, Jabu. To compare the two characters in a nut-shell, Seiya is more like Son Gokuu from Dragon Ball, while Tenma is more like Ranma and Inuyasha with their personalities. However, Tenma isn't exactly a lone wolf, but he does have some help. In the original series, Seiya is portrayed more as a leader and it was kind of more of a team concept. On the outside, Tenma is a lot like Seiya, but has his own unique distinctions and qualities. I'd talk about them, but they'd be spoilers to both Lost Canvas, and oavs to the original series. I thought some things in the last Hades OAV arcs to the original series needed to be elaborated on and Lost Canvas expands on certain specific aspects. Not only is it a prequel, it's a very excellent addition and extension to the original source material. Obviously in comparison to the original series, Lost Canvas cuts right to the last story arc.
