They referred to Yamauchi as a strong influence in interviews.

Same as original series

The series is much like the original one. Those that wrote a negative Review have forgotten that the original series had exactly the same weaknesses. Back then they were probably Kids like me, and they didn't pay Attention to those flaws. They have grown up while the series hasn't.

Like in the old series, bronze Saints who are supposed to be at the bottom of the hierarchy are able to overcome enemies with sheet will. Like in the original series, they take blow after blow but never die or waver, they stand up time after time again.

What I enjoyed most about the new series was the time spent developing at the academy. I think this portion could have been extended. Some of the fights were a bit rushed and the new Gold Saints where a bit less interesting than the original ones because their attacks were less mysterious, mainly because the pace was a bit fast. The original series took the time to develop characters and provide more Background Information about the strengths of each Saint.

Still Overall, if you use your Imagination you can dive back into the old day series and this becomes very enjoyable.
