This is the first Saint Seiya movie & probably the best one out the original 4 feature films. Saint Seiya Evil God Eris is a short film with a good blend of fighting & animated visuals which should leave you wanting more. If' you're new to Saint Seiya, this a good exposure to begin the anime as it displays much of the series personal style, however the characters aren't as identifiable as the anime. All of the Saint Seiya movies have basically the same plot (much like the anime) being to rescue the Goddess Athena & defeat the villain & his minions. While the plot maybe repetitive & works smoothly in this film as it has a very fast pace & goes straight to the point while highlighting each character's signature techniques.

Out of all the movies, this might have the most ambitious visuals due to various contrasts in color such as Eris blonde or blue hair when she stands nest to Athena who has purple hair. Much of the film plays with the color schemes making it a visual treat much like the anime series.

The only real cons to the film are the fights ending very quickly and doesn't display much personality to the characters other than its shonen tropes of friendship, effort & victory. An okay feature to start the series as it doesn't spoil anything to the original storyline; where our bronze saints are more fleshed out with their personalities & commitments of being a saint. As for already established Saint Seiya fans, the animation quality is worth watching for a few times.
