Light the fire of my Cosmos!!

1、【未打分】短评:燃烧我的小宇宙吧!!2003

First of all, it is a great break from thetypical anime where you have robots and tons of martial arts; the idea behindSaint Seiya is truly original and that is why it still impacts on the worldtoday: Imagine our modern world protected by mythological Gods of hallowedantiquity. We have Palas Athenea, or Athena, protecting our world from evil.She is reborn when the presence of evil is strong. (Around 200 to 300 yearsusually). Then imagine her sitting on her throne in her Sanctuary, protected by12 golden saints, each one representing a Zodiac sign, each with a uniquepower, armor and cosmos. (Cosmos is from where these Saints obtain their power,taking it from thier constelation).

首先,它摆脱了典型日本动漫里的机器人和海量的武术;《圣斗士星矢》背后的理念真的很新颖,而这也是为什么它仍然影响着今天的世界:想象下,我们的现代世界被神圣远古时代神话中的神灵守护着。我们有雅典娜保护着我们的世界免受邪恶侵害。当有强大的邪恶存在,她便重生(通常大约两三百年一次)。然后想象她坐在她圣域里的王座上,12个黄金圣斗士守护着她,每一位代表一个黄道星座,每一位都拥有一种独特的力量、圣衣和小宇宙。(这些圣斗士从小宇宙中得到力量,这是从他们的星座中取得的)

But there are more than 12 saints. TheSaint order has three different ranks: Golden, Silver and Bronze. Each Saintholds the power to a different constelation, and this is where our maincharacters come in: the Bronze Saints are also twelve, and are the destinedones to replace the Golden Saints in the future, but till then, they hold theirown armor representing minor constelations. And from these twelve, five standout as the strongest and bravest: Seiya of Pegasus, Shiryu of the Dragon, Shunof Andromeda, Hyoga of Cygnus, and my personal favorite Ikki of Phoenix (notthe city), who happens to be Shun's older brother and probably the mosttroubled of the five.

但存在着的圣斗士超过12位。圣斗士的序列有三种不同的级别:黄金、白银和青铜。每个圣斗士执掌一个不同的星座,而我们的主角们就是从这里入场:青铜圣斗士也有12个,而且他们注定了会在未来取代黄金圣斗士,但在那之前,他们持有自己的圣衣,代表着少数星座,而这十二位中,有五位作为最强大勇敢者脱颖而出:天马座的星矢,天龙座的紫龙,仙女座的瞬,天鹅座的冰河,和我个人的最爱:凤凰座(不是凤凰城)的一辉,他恰好是瞬的哥哥,而且可能是五位中最混乱的。

To sum things up, each character has theirown unique personality, their own unique and cool repetoir of attacks, problemsand existential angst. But they are the sworn protectors of the Goddess Athena,and all that is good on Earth. (No matter how corny that sounds)

总之,每个人物都有他们自己的独特人格特质、独特而酷炫的攻击技能、独有的问题和存在的心结。但他们是女神雅典娜和地球上所有美好的立过誓的守护者(不管这听上去有多陈腐)。

The series back in 1986 saw these fiveSaints battle it out in the Sanctuary against the false High Pope (keeper ofthe Sanctuary until Athena is reincarnated) and the Golden Saints who did notrealize the High Pope was evil; against Madam Hylda and her Seven Warriors ofAsgard in the frozen regions of Scandinavia; and against Poseidon'sreincarnation and his Generals: the Marine Scales. The series finished withthem defeating Poseidon, but the Manga (comic) actually had a continuation,where they battled Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, and his 108 specters (ofwhich only about 20 are important). For any of you interested, TOEI animationhas decided (after 17 years!!) to continue the series where it left off. And itwill be aired in english and spanish later this year!!!

这个系列还要回到1986年,看着五个圣斗士在圣域中和假教皇(在雅典娜转世之前为圣域的看护者)以及没意识到教皇邪恶的黄金圣斗士展开斗争;在冰封的北欧地区对抗希路达和她的七位仙宫神斗士;还对抗了波塞冬的转世以及他的海斗士。该系列结束于他们打败波塞冬时,但这部漫画实际上有续集,那里面他们和冥王哈迪斯以及他的108位冥斗士(其中只有20位比较重要)作战。要是有任何人感兴趣的话,东映动画(在17年后!!)已经决定在这个系列停止的地方继续往下延续。而且它会在今年晚些时候用英语和西班牙语播放!!!

So to sum up, imagine a series where thecharacters each represent a myth, and hold in their soul the power of aConstelation. Battling Gods, monsters, and even their own troubled minds. So ifyou do get to watch this series, be delighted because it is a rare gem in theTV World.

总的来说,想象一个系列,其中的人物每人代表一个神话,并在灵魂中拥有一个星座的力量。和神、妖怪甚至他们自己饱受困扰的心灵战斗。所以如果你真的开始观看这个系列,请开心点吧,因为它是电视世界中的遗世奇珍。

So the only thing I can say (and all youfans know what this means) is: Pegasus RyuSeiKen!!

所以我只能说(你们所有粉丝都知道它的意思):天马流星拳!!

A true cult classic. Wonderfully aestheticand thrilling.

2、【未打分】短评:一部真正的经典。美妙的审美,惊心动魄。2001

There'll never be enough space to describehow special this series really is here, but maybe it can't be said with wordsas it is. Saint Seiya is very much a visual experience, after all.

该系列有多特别是永远描述不完的,也许它无法用言词来表达。《圣斗士星矢》终究是一种相当可视化的体验。

The story, in a nutshell, is about fiveyoung boys who's task it is to defend the modern-day reincarnation of Athenaagainst several threats. This translates into loads of very theatrical duelsbetween these five Bronze Saints and their rivals, who happen to all be prettyboys with groovy armors and hairstyles. At a glance, it sounds terribly daft,but there's so much -more- in here than in your average boys-oriented battleseries.

这个故事用一句话说,是关于五个年轻男孩,其任务是守护雅典娜在当代的转世免受若干种威胁。这转化成了在这五个青铜圣斗士和他们对手之间的、海量的非常戏剧化的决斗,他们恰好都是美颜少年,拥有拉风的圣衣和发型。乍一看,这有够傻的,但它比寻常的以男孩为目标市场的战斗系列剧存在大量更多的东西。

For starters, the overall quality of thepresentation is quite a surprise. Of course, for such a long TV series thereare always one or two episodes that look a bit drab. But taking in the bigpicture, Saint Seiya has an immediately recogniseable visual style of it's ownthat really leaves an impression. Long, fluttering strands of hair (in somevery groovy colors) surround faces with dreamy eyes, and the fine, stylisedbodies of the characters are shot from many inventive angles and animated withlots of flair. Kudos also to the one behind the backdrops; Saint Seiya sportssome of the most gorgeous background paintings I've ever seen. From ruins ofGreek temples to snowy wastelands, every setting is painted with rich andexquisite detail.

对于新入门的人,整体的呈现质量是相当惊人的。当然了,对于这么一个很长的电视系列剧来说,总有一两集瞧着有点单调。但从整体看,《圣斗士星矢》有它自己的一种立时可辨的视觉风格,能真正给人留下印象。风中飘扬的长长发丝(是一些非常拉风的颜色)环绕着有着梦幻般眼睛的脸庞,精美而风格化的人物躯体是从很多别出心裁的角度拍摄的,并凭借着许多天分制成动画片。荣誉也要归于幕后人员;《圣斗士星矢》炫耀出了一些我见过最华美的背景画。从希腊神殿的废墟到白雪皑皑的荒原,每一种环境背景的描绘,都充满了丰富而细腻的细节。

The music would really deserve a fullreview of it's own, as composer Seiji Yokoyama has done a marvellous job.Rousing, dramatic themes are the order of the day, who fit the sceneswonderfully and amplify the impact of the series no end. They also stick inyour head forever, as do the punchy rock songs in the opening credits (it's themusic that drew me into this series to begin with, actually. One listen of"Soldier Dream" and you're marked for life).

音乐本身真的能当得起一篇完整的评论,作曲家横山菁儿完成了了不起的工作。生气勃勃而戏剧化的主旋律是最压台的,它美妙地融入场景,并无止息地增强了该系列的冲击力。它们也会永远杵在你的脑袋里,片头那劲力十足的摇滚曲也是如此(事实上一开始就是这支曲子把我拉进了这个系列。听一遍《Soldier Dream》,一辈子都会打上烙印)。

The plots and structure of the battles havetheir own "typically Saint Seiya" style as well. What is remarkableis how much cruelty and sadness shows through here. Not just meaning that thefights get rather bloody at some points (Hyoga's duel against Milo of Scorpio),but also that a lot of the characters have painful pasts and deep traumas. Thismakes for a rich, and very interesting cast. The opponents of our heroes aren'tplain "nasties", they usually have their own ways of thinking whichpushes them to fight for their cause. They're often misguided, or being usedfor someone's other dark means, which makes it all the more tragic to see thembravely dying in a battle to the limits, after they've shown such rich andfascinating personalities. There are only one or two truly "evil"characters among the enemies (and even they are very captivating to watch).

战斗的情节架构也有着它们自己“典型的圣斗士星矢”风格。特别显眼的是在这里展现出了那么多的残忍和悲伤。这不只意味着战斗在某些时刻变得相当血腥(冰河与天蝎座米罗的决斗),而且很多人物有着痛苦的过往和深重的创伤。这也有助于人物丰富而极有意思的气质。我们的英雄们,他们的对手并不是简单的“恶毒”,他们通常才能够都有自己的思维方式,这就推着他们去为他们自己的大义而战。他们通常都误入歧途,或是被某个人的阴暗手段利用,在他们展现出如此丰富而迷人的人格特质后,看着他们在一场战斗中英勇地战至最后而死,这就使得整个故事更加悲剧。在敌人之中,只有一两个真正“邪恶”的人物(即便是他们看上去也非常有魅力)。

The five young heroes have equally likeableand deep personalities (with the exception of mister big hero Seiya, perhaps),and develop distinct styles of thinking and of fighting throughout the series.It makes for a gripping experience, full of rich and very dramatic moments.

五小强有着同样讨人喜欢的和深邃的性格特质(也许大英雄星矢先生是个例外),而且在整个系列中养成了独特的思考风格和战斗风格。这有助于扣人心弦的观影体验,充满了浓烈而非常戏剧化的瞬间。

Another interesting touch is the clever useof mythologic references. Each character is affiliated to a constellation, andoften to a mythological figure as well. These are usually well-researched andvery clever references, and it's probably the best job I've ever seen of bringingancient myths up to date again, all while respecting the tone of the originalmyth.

另一个有趣的手法是很聪明地化用神话。每个人物都隶属于一个星座,而且也常常和一个神话人物挂钩。总会有经过精心研究的非常聪明的引用,而且这可能是迄今我见过翻新古代神话里做的最好的,在做到了所有的同时尊重了那个神话原型的风格和调性。

With such a long series (114 episodes),there are ups and downs, inevitably. Particularly during the first"Sanctuary" series, Toei larded on a big dose of filler episodes andsoulless extra characters, purely for marketing purposes, who just hamper theseries as a whole. The later "Poseidon" episodes are also rather dulland empty. The best of the series is concentrated in the latter Sanctuaryepisodes, and the tremendous Asgard series. Next to the TV series, there arealso 4 short movies, worth watching just for the eye candy (the Abel movie isreally wonderful to look at).

如此长的一个系列剧(114集),其中不可避免地会良莠不齐。尤其在第一部《圣域篇》期间,东映用了大量的填充剧集和没有灵魂的额外人物来润色,纯是出于市场考虑,这妨碍了剧集的完整性。后面出来的《海王篇》的剧集也相当无趣空洞。系列中最好的部分集中在之后的《圣域篇》和极佳的《仙宫篇》。紧接着电视系列剧,也有四部短电影,对于想过眼瘾的人来说值得一看(《真红少年传说》真的很美妙)。

All in all, Saint Seiya is and always willbe one of the greatest works Japan has produced. It has gathered a huge lot ofvery faithful fans, simply because once you've gotten into the flavor of SaintSeiya, you'll never be able to forget it again. Some may be put off by it'sdelicate visual style and baroque touches, but this was never intended forthose who can't appreciate beautiful stories in the first place. Just a shamethis is hardly known on the English-language market.

总而言之,《圣斗士星矢》是且一直将会是日本出品的最伟大作品之一。它聚集起海量的忠实粉丝,就因为一旦尝到了《圣斗士星矢》的滋味,你就再也忘不了了。有些人也许会因其娇美的视觉风格和繁复的手法而却步,但这可不是为那些在一开始就无法领会这些美丽故事的人准备的。只是很遗憾,在英语市场上这部作品几乎不为人知。

10 times better than Dragon Ball Z

3、【未打分】短评:比《龙珠Z》好十倍。2003

Well i've only seen this show in theDominican Republic, I wonder why they didn't release it in North America, wellthis show is the best anime ever and it's a lot better than Dragon Ball Zbecause they have special powers instead of being from another planet and theyfight gods from the Greek Mythology like Poseidon, Hades and everything.

好吧我只在多米尼加看过这个剧,我想知道为什么他们不再北美播放它,好吧该剧是迄今最好的日本动画,比《龙珠Z》好多了,因为他们本身拥有着特殊力量,而不是来自另一个星球,而且他们是和希腊神话中的神像是波塞冬哈迪斯等等战斗。

If someday Saint Seiya is released in theUSA i'm sure that everybody will like it and all the people will know that thisshow is a lot better than Dragon Ball Z and they say some things that are truelike in one of the episodes that love and beautiful memories in the battlefieldare useless, they're just ridiculous but love makes us stronger a lot of times.

如果《圣斗士星矢》有天在美国播放,我敢肯定每个人都会喜欢它,而且所有人都会知道这个剧比《龙珠Z》好多了,他们在某一集中说过一些很正确的东西,即:在战场上爱和美丽的回忆是没用的,它们简直可笑,但爱很多次让我们更强大。

The best Saint of all the 5 main characterswhich are the 5 most powerful saints is Ikki the Phoenix, he's the best and thestrongest of all 5 of them and the eldest, Seiya is the main character, mostpeople believe that he's annoying, and a lot of people say that Ikki's brotherAndromeda Shun, is gay, that is right he is gay because he is calling for hisbrother the whole time when he is in major trouble.

五小强中最好的圣斗士是凤凰座的一辉,他是五个里最强大也是最年长的,星矢是主角,大部分人觉得他很招人嫌,还有很多人说一辉的弟弟仙女座的瞬是个基佬,这么说是对的,因为当他陷入大麻烦时一直在哭喊着他哥哥。

When this show came out in the DominicanRepublic, it was the number one kick ass show in the country and the best animeof all time before Rurouni Kenshin came to the Dominican Republic and everyonewho was serious about Saint Seiya doing their homeworks earlier so they can goand watch the show like most children, teenagers and adults did when they wenthome from their school and work a lot earlier to go and watch Dragon Ball Z.

当该剧在多米尼加出来的时候,它成为了国内第一热剧,在《浪客剑心》来到多米尼加之前它就是古往今来最好的日本动画,所有人都对《圣斗士星矢》很上心,他们早早做完作业这样他们就能去看这个剧了,就如同大部分孩子、青少年和成年人,当他们从学校回到家或是早早开始工作就是为了去看《龙珠Z》。

Lots of people in that country we'readdicted to Saint Seiya, like I was addicted to that show. This show is thebest animation but not as better as Rurouni Kenshin is, I give this show a big10/10 and if it comes out in America it will be the second most popular animein America.

在那个国家有许多人像我对《圣斗士星矢》上瘾一样,对该剧上瘾。这个剧是最好的动画片,但并不比《浪客剑心》更好,我给该剧打了大大的10分,如果它能在美国播放,那它将会是美国第二受欢迎的日本动漫。

A very important part of my childhood

4、【8分】短评:是我童年的重要组成部分。2006

"Saint Seiya" was an importantpart of my childhood.Here in Brazil it was a very big success ( I don't have asingle friend who didn't watch this series when they were a kid)and It was alsothe first anime I started to watch. After it, I became a big anime fan. Beinginspired in many different mythologies like the Greek and the Nordic ones,andalso having some influence in the zodiac signs, we have a very cool story withlots of action and different types of fighters. I remember so many memorablefights,each one better then the other, and we see the the story of each one ofthe characters as long as the episodes are being seem. Nowadays we have theHades OAVS(OVAS)that are the continuation of this saga, and also have awesomeelements and surprising powers of some of the characters. I would recommendthis anime for everyone who loves scenes of fights and mythological aspects.

《圣斗士星矢》是我童年的一个重要组成部分。在我们巴西这里,它取得了很大的成功(我的朋友里,但他们还是孩子时,没有一个没看过这部剧的),也是我开始看的第一部日本动漫。那以后,我成了日本动漫的大粉丝。它受到很多不同的神话启发,比如希腊和北欧,而且也有一些黄道星座的影响,给了我们一个非常酷的故事,里面有很多打斗以及不同类型的战士。我记得那么多难忘的战斗,每个都比其他好,而且只要能看到剧集,我们就能看到每个人物的故事。现在我们有了这部英雄传奇的续集冥王哈迪斯冥界篇,而且也看到了很厉害的元素和某些人物的惊人力量。我会推荐这部动漫给所有热爱战斗场面和神话的人。
