Cosmo Champs

We watch episodes which are, frankly, too boring to endure. Next time Santo says we’ll be on track. Not my fault Leo guy is so dull I keep forgetting how to spell his name.

We’re joined by Jackson from Abnormal Mapping and The Great Gundam Project this week to talk about the new musical adaptation of Rose of Versailles and how we seemingly are the only three people on planet earth who don’t hate it! It’s got stuff!

Next Time on Episode 10: Saint Seiya 48-53

We begin tackling the Zodiac temples this week and find the gold saints an array of weirdos with fun and surprising powers. I’m so glad this wasn’t just a boss fight gauntlet, even though it’s extremely a boss fight gauntlet.

Next Time on Episode 8: Saint Seiya episodes 48-53

This week we watch the first Saint Seiya movie and have a great time with the usual Saint Seiya things: disposable bad guys, Shun’s sexy peril, confusing questions about cosmology, tiered Greek ruins, and unnecessary orphan plots! It’s like a whole arc in microcosm! Come join us.

Next Time on Episode 8: Saint Seiya episodes 42-47

The Gold Saints finally show up and guy rotation takes heretofore unimagined speed as there’s now TWELVE new guys who are all going to matter (not all of them are in this episode, to be fair). Also, Shun gets hated crimed for being gay by some gay people. It’s normal, where he’s from.

Next Time on Episode 7: Saint Seiya: Evil Goddess Eris!

More Silver Saints drop like flies and Saori reveals some of her true Athenian power! Also, we get a fun Ikki filler episode and some blind Shiryu finding his confidence to fight despite this. All in all, a good set of episodes!

Next Time on Episode 5: Saint Seiya episodes 35-41

We are so goddamn back this week as Saint Seiya finally starts to explain the Saint tiers, we meet a whole array of new guys some classic and some forgettable, a whole other show intrudes on the show we’re watching, and never before has it felt more like Saint Seiya is being made up as it goes along with some of the Saori reveals.

More importantly, Gender shows up more aggressively than ever, and the boys return to bleeding both on each other and everywhere else, so we had a great goddamn time. Enjoy!

Next Time on Episode 5: Saint Seiya episodes 29-34

The second season has us running headlong into filler as we meet some guys who truly do not matter and a backstory that certainly is going to get rewritten. Nobody even dies for their bros in these episodes! Is that even Saint Seiya? We have fun regardless, especially with the introduction of an Evil Pope!

Next Time on Episode 4: Saint Seiya episodes 22-28

We’re back as the second arc explodes! A brief dalliance in OVA-ornate Japan before it’s off to the alps for a nightmare of mountains, fog, skeletons, evil clones, and oh oh oh so much blood. That’s okay, the power of friendship can defeat any menace, even half the cast getting killed (again). Let your Cosmo burn!

Next Time on Episode 3: Saint Seiya episodes 16-21

We finally begin to explore the Cosmos as we take off in our exciting first episode. Immediately we rotate some guys, talk about the power of punch friendship, discuss whether a shounen story can be trusted to have more than three designs for women, and much much more as we tackle this first tournament arc that opens our long adventure. Please enjoy!
