Wow, a lot of sequels and spin offs now a days o.O I guess when slice of life wore off, they gave up and went for the obvious?

But go watch the original Saint Seiya!! It's SO good, the oldness you have to get through but the plot (especially for the first arc) is AMAZING ~.~ as are the characters. I haven't seen Omega yet so I don't know how it ties in, but I'm sure it's best to start from the very beginning :D
