Well, I have to admit that this episode turned out to be even worse than I was expecting. Personally, I found the premise of one bronze saint becoming a rock star to be something incredibly dumb and more appropriate for anime series like "Digimon" or "Sailor Moon", but I definitely cannot picture it as good "Saint Seiya" material. I mean, is like seeing one Jedi Knight becoming a Hollywood actor, or something like that.
Now, one will think that such ridiculous premise will be used in a comical manner, but instead of that, this episode takes itself very seriously and the whole deal with Haruto deciding to become a "rock" star (After hearing some random song in the radio for a couple of minutes, I kid you not.) is portrayed as something incredibly dramatic and solemn that is simply laughable.
This episode was way too cheesy, had a stupid plot and was poorly animated, with many repeated frames (Notice that all the scenes where Haruto sings are exactly the same) It wasn't very funny to watch, and the only redeeming factor of this episode was the villain, who seems like a throwback to the original antagonists from the classic anime series. Everything else was awful.
