Staple manga and later anime during the '80s by [[Masami Kurumada]]. It tells the story of [[Five-Man Band|five friends]] who serve the reincarnation of the goddess Athena, Saori Kido, in her quest to reclaim her place as ruler of the Saints, a group of warriors themed after the [[Western Zodiac]] and pretty much every charted constellation.
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
Later arcs tend to follow this form, with a series of fights to reach the offending god or mortal intent on bringing about a worldwide calamity while working under a time limit, failure leading to Athena's death or the destruction of the world. These arcs were Asgard, Poseidon, Hades, and Heaven. Both the last are ongoing.
The series was dubbed in English as ''Knights Of The Zodiac'' (which is actually the name the series has in most of the world outside Japan) and shown on [[Cartoon Network]], but the plot and characters [[Macekre|didn't receive very good treatment]], and it wasn't very popular. [[ADV Films]] would later re-release the series on DVD with a new, much more faithful dub (note the page image). However, outside the States it was
And it turns out that an OVA telling of ''[[Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas]]'' is being produced and entered its second season in 2011. In the meantime, we recommend another of Kurumada's works, ''[[B't X]].''
Line 28 ⟶ 27:
Right now, ''[[Saint Seiya Episode G]]'', ''[[Saint Seiya: Next Dimension]]'' and ''[[Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas]]'' are still being released in manga form.
''Saint Seiya'' also received myriads of video games, but none of them usually reached high qualities. However, recently, a ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' spinoff called ''Saint Seiya Senki/Chronicles'' for [[PlayStation 3]] is in the works, by both Bandai Namco and Dimps. Thus far, this seems to be the most highly anticipated '''Saint Seiya''' game ever.
