C.H. Gorog posted a statusThe Story
The Great holy war begin's again, the Goddess Athena must lead his warriors once more to save the world from Hades.
The story begins with three characters, Tenma, Alone, and Sasha who all lived together, Tenma goes off to become a warrior of Athena called saints, Sasha finds out she is the 18th century reincarnation of athena, Alone finds out he is the chosen vessel for hades return.
The Characters
Tenma personality wise he's just kind of a hot blooded naruto like character not very much to him, but his connection with Alone as he trys to deal with his best friend becoming hades is interesting.
Yato hes not really Tenma's friend, more of a rival character who shares the same goal as Tenma, protect Athena at any cost.
Yuzuriha a female saint of higher ranking also follows Tenma and Yato, she is there to aid in anyway she can.
Now for the best part of the show the gold saints, each has there own interesting backstory, with a long epic fights, the way they can develop these characters in a short time is amazing, while these characters don't last for very long in the story they all leave an impression on you.
My Thoughts
Let's start with the bad. The three main characters are just not that interesting and as cool as the gold saints are, They don't last long enough to get attached to them.
At times the the animation can seem stiff when characters are just standing still talking.
It starts kinda slow at the begining.
Now the good. The blending of Geek mythology and other various mythology works very well with the Stroy and environment.
The art. It looks BEAUTIFIL,the animation and color in fight scenes looks amazing and epic, The design's for the characters and armor are for the most part great.
The main villains are good, some have interesting character depth and backstory, some don't have much of stroy to them, but still manages to be fun characters with great fight scenes, Alone is interesting to watch as he slowly bends to hades will while still having a connection with tenma.
Three things I should note. This anime only has two seasons out, which is about half the manga and with the negatives it just barely gets this score, I would have had more complaints if i were to compare to the original.
Now the verdict.
GRADE: FIRST CLASS

I pretty much agree with much of the criticisms and praise you give about LC. I'll be posting a review on Classic and (do they allow it here? V For Vendetta graphic novel.
