Here I tried translate something in Portuguese about the the interview to the Director or SOG:
Furuta worked on the storyboard episode 12 of the Omega series. Because of this work, he was remembered and called at the end of March 2014 to start the project Soul of Gold, soon after the end of Omega.
There is a natural difficulty of working with so many important people at the same time.
In Episode 7 Aldebaran will highlight, showing a brave side (different from that in a sense, unlucky that classic series showed). The Odin Armor will appear, but it can still answer who will use it.
From now on the focus of the anime will be in battle. In the first half they focused on something that had never had the experience of seeing, it was the daily life of a Gold Saint. Each new episode now, a character may withdraw the story.
The explanation of the change in Death Mask character is precisely that which we have explained once: love can change people!
The Dohko scene drinking with his armor was not planned originally, but he likes to put a little humor. He considers the Saga and Shaka extremely strong characters and there is always a concern to clarify that.
The choice of Asgard was due to the limited time of thirteen episodes as it would be difficult to explain elements, setting and new characters, so opted for something fans already knew (it was already mentioned in other interviews).
Regarding the Norse mythology, he researched elements that had not been used to not conflict with the classic series (Frey, for example, had already been used, but he wanted at all costs to use it, then used a different name: Frodi).
The Warriors Gods are associated with animals of Norse mythology. - The highlight of the first episodes was exactly the human side of the Golden Knights. Furuta was very happy to keep the cast of voice actors old and felt very happy and honored to be in charge of a production of Saint Seiya.
Soul of Gold is careful to keep the same feeling that Shingo Araki drawings had, regarding the poses of characters and movements. However it recognizes that only Shingo Araki could do something in full. He cites Hideyuki Motohashi, the character designer, came from Pro Araki (died studio Shingo Araki).
The development of the anime was based on the old anime production style. The issue of breaks in the struggles is highlighted. - There was a concern to explore the links between the characters: what Shura feel when reviewing Aiolos? What Aiolos think about Saga?
Sorry I used google.
