I'm so getting it done, sharing it around, and begging Jamie or anyone else for translations for what it's left! It's been YEARS, goddammit.

I've read 9 volumes of it so far, but I don't think (subejctively, because they're both hilariously bad and I haven't seen that much of a change yet) the manga is any worse than the anime. Hell, the anime is the one that added filler characters without a purpose, made the fights look slower and more epic than they should be Toei trademark lol, and decided to fuck with a second mythology for filler (Kurumada sticked to Greek and never touched the Norse). If anything, *I* think the anime is slightly worse. The only worse-than-anime thing I can think of the manga is the Kido-fathering-100-boys shit, making every subtext look incestuous -which could be a problem for some yaoi fangirls who dislike incest shipping. Maybe it's a matter of opinions. Probably those who think the manga is way too terrible had problems with the Hades arc or the shoujo art. No idea because I can't take this seriously enough to seek a fandom.

And next, my thoughts on yaoi. *j/k*
