The initial support cast of Yato and Yuzuriha are also thrown aside into irrelevancy very early on, unlike Shaina and Marin from the original who play a constant supporting role throughout the entirety of the classic. Tenma, Athena and Hades are the only ones who really matter and are given nothing to make them any more, or even as, interesting as their classic counterparts. The only thing allowing the series to stand out is the characters, but not in a good way.
Teshirogi's art style, however, contains no signature traits to allow her craft to stand out as an individual with the characters now having pretty generic faces and the detail in some of the cloths is nowhere near as great. Kurumada's art style had a very distinct appearance of melding bishonen elements with highly masculine traits and having incredible detail within the armour of each character. The main aspect that tends to draw in others is the superficial element of the art, being better than the original, to which I have to disagree. Even in this area, it does a poor job as we're told in the original manga that Dohko and Shion were the only survivors of the war, yet there are far more in TLC, thus making it not only a retread of the original, but an inconsistent one. It's mainly just an expansion of the Hades Arc from the original except far less interesting due to prequel syndrome already making it apparent who will live and survive. The Lost Canvas is usually heralded as being vastly superior in all ways to the original, an opinion I can't understand when the exact opposite is true.įirst, looking at the story, there isn't really much to say.
