テーマ：ブログ
Good day guys!

I started writing this entry a few days ago but I haven't finish some work I have here so I decided to write down more replies for your questions you have been sending during this year. I know it takes me a long while to reply, I try to read the most I can every weekend we don't have radio show, so time to brush the board and start a new paper.

I had to edit the questions from long messages for your easy understanding.

Kick off!

- I have been in Akihabara this year and saw a lot of Seiya figures in the store's panels, why there are a lot of figures, it doesn't sell well as BANDAI claims to do?
I read a news article taking note in same line. It is true, if you sneak around Akihabara there are a lot of Figure stores, but guess what, most of those stores you visited are second hand stores. It comes to my mind the store near the McDonalds down the main avenue, the guys set cool figure displays there, and those are not for sell, usually the items in sale are inside the boxes, you know some buyers just take off the coupons, promotions, sales, codes and sell the figure in second hand stores. The retail stores (i.e. Gamers, Softmap) have these dedicated floors to sell figures, you can find them as the Hobby Floor (ホビー) where you can see the latest Bandai Seiya Figures and the most popular ones, sometimes they run campaigns to sell figures from one anime, this is when you can see displays in those kind of stores. Regarding the good marketing Bandai is pulling to sell Seiya Figures, all I can say it's they are doing great.

- How do Japanese Seiya Fans think about the new myth cloth lineup coming this year? Aren't they pissed off because they are somehow forced to buy again a figure it could be done well as they are doing now since the beginning?
Right, the Seiya Myth Cloth is not the first release of figures from Saint Seiya, so the design and manufacturing improvement is just a natural evolution, if you have as hobby to collect Seiya Figures, why not? I know people here who buy a few figures from the same model, why? Because they want and they can I guess. Maybe it's just me but I haven't read or being told about being pissed off because of this, but what I do have read and listen is about the confusing marketing they did last year with this particular poster making reference to Next Dimension.

- I know there may be a few news as foreign fans we don't even see on the net about Seiya and you may be only learn about them if you are in Japan and if you are well informed, can you share with us some news like this?
Like this one, alright here is some bits for you. Seiya is back on TV! Ok wait, stop the press! I am clearly saying this: Saint Seiya will be back to be on TV... but as CM. Bandai Namco have a TV CM ready to be on air this summer, but that's not all, SANYO has two CMs ready with the new animation scenes included you have never seen before. Sasshi said NTV is ready to hook up to the cosmo, we just have to wait, or stick around the plug next weekend. The last CM I remember to be on open TV was the Lost Canvas one, back when the first season started, and before that, it just comes to my mind the Tenkaihen movie dvd on sale CM., also the CM on SkyPerfecTV but those were on cable and satellite TV.

- You haven't said anything about Teshirogi, what's new about her? Any new hobby or a cat story?
She has been watchimg Marumo, a dog drama about to end with 11 episodes, the image song from this drama is one Teshirogi's favorite, it's really a catchy and happy song and it is very popular among kids and family. Fuji TV is the one behind this story.

- Can you send me the rice crackers of CR Saint Seiya?
I had to read a lot of this. If you live in Japan I think is easier to get them, if you happen to win we can send them to you very easy and fast. A problem we had at the Postal Office is they don't accept to send food overseas if they don't know the customs laws from the destiny country. We don't accept money or any kind of donation, so please don't ask us to send you this or other products, we are not store and we don't sell what is free for us.

- Are you looking forward to play Saint Seiya Senki?

I certainly do, even when the graphics you saw in the trailer are On Development, so that is not the final quality, I think the game has a good standard I like to play, finish it off and that's it.

- Why the CG are different from the PlayStation 3, Pachinko and Movie?
Even when Toei Animation is behind those projects, the second player such as BandaiNamco, Sanyo and the same Toei itself have different CG developers, that is why you see even different designs. I bet you all will be more concerned when the Seiya's face gets unveiled.

- I am a true Seiya Fan but I am not really interested anymore in such side projects just Next Dimension but I am getting tired of waiting and waiting ... for years! Why the Seiya staff focus in more and more projects and they can't even continue and finish Next Dimension with good designs like in Hades manga?
I remember a few years ago even before Next Dimension started, Sasshi and our leader told us, Saint Seiya should start moving forward thru new generations. So I think by creating new stories like Episode G or Lost Canvas, they are creating a new era of Seiya fans, I mean even here I know people who do know about the original Seiya back from the 80s but not as much as they do for Lost Canvas, and some of those read the original story and they don't seem to hook up, as everything in life the market changes quickly thru generations. You know, we who have been following Seiya since we were kids should be very happy, somehow thanks that we buy the little school items box from Lawson, the videotape from the movies or something, it made Saint Seiya to continue up to this 2011 with new and fresh projects, I shouldn't say this and I hope you don't misread this line but, you should be proud for what we have now, because this is not an eternal boom, it may not repeat again, and what you can do now in order to continue burning your cosmo: buy only original products. As for Next DimensionI also enjoy reading it, but the assistants are not all the same from back then.


I will continue next month, I need to read back some messages from early this year, so please wait.

Also, this coming weekend I will be on the radio show, for those with access please tune on and for the members from our channel feel free to stick around because we will be talking in English for you all and receiving questions.

En el foro francés de Saintseiyapedia se está empezando a sospechar muy fuertemente que el dibujante del nuevo ánime de Saint Seiya podría ser Yoshihiko Umakoshi. Esta hipótesis se basa en diferentes factores. El dibujante de Casshern Sins, Umakoshi, ha diseñado a su protagonista, Casshern, con un estilo muy similar a Seiya, además el seiyu tanto de Casshern como de Seiya es el mismo, Toyu Furuya.

Además de ésto, Umakoshi a publicado recientemente en Asia gran cantidad de dibujos de Saint Seiya, de los cuales podemos comprobar que el diseño es muy fiel a Shingo Araki.



Y por lo que han dicho también algunos coleccionistas de myth cloths, la gama EX está basada en el estilo de Umakoshi.
