Is the '86 Saint Seiya worth the 100+ episode investment? It is on Netflix and I recall I think hearing it is good? The first episode was alright.

I really liked it as a kid, but it's a pretty slow-paced show with not much substance in the main story itself. Also drags on a bit during the middle part because of filler material. Probably will be worth it if you like the action or any of the five main characters though. I'd recommend the manga over the anime because it goes by way more quickly, but the art is... old.

There's also the CG movie Legend of Sanctuary that I really like just because of how awesome the animation is. It's a standalone work loosely based on the manga's third major arc (anime's fourth arc) and can be watched without any knowledge since it's completely unrelated to any other work in the franchise, though some characters and designs are radically different from the original material.
