Welcome to the Knights of the Zodiac guide. (Note: This guide is for the US verison of the Japanese show SAINT SEIYA. For the original show, please goto: http://www.tv.com/saint-seiya/show/24397/summary.html) In this fast-paced futuristic adventure, the Bronze Knights led by Seiya draw upon their amazing martial art skills as well as their mystical power in which each is keyed into a sign of the Zodiac as they attempt to defeat Ikki and the Black Knights who would do anything to gain control of the Gold Cloth of Sagittarius. But beyond the Black Knights are even more deadlier foes...the Silver Knights and the Gold Knights who possess more power than the Bronze Knights can ever imagine and they're being controlled by the ultra force of supernatural evil--Ares the God of War. Seiya and the Bronze Knights must pit themselves in hand-to-hand combat against the most formidable fighters in the universe as they struggle to return Athena the Goddess of War to her rightful throne and assure the peace of the world. Knights of the Zodiac airs on Cartoon Network, Saturdays at 7pm., during the Toonami action programming block. It originally aired as Saint Seiya for 114 episodes in Japan during October 11, 1986 to April 1, 1989 (listed in this guide as Seasons 1-3) The last arc of the manga was animated in November 2002 as a 13 episode OVA called Saint Seiya - The Hades Chapter (listed in this guide as season 4) A second season of the Hades chapter is sheduled to air in November 2004 in Japan, and in the meantime the animation studio is hard at work on a new Saint Seiya movie, which will be out sometime in Spring of 2004. After much Censoring, Editing, and soforth, the series has undergone some drastic changes to the point where it is an entirely different show from the original. ADV Films has released wonderful uncensored versions of Saint Seiya episodes on DVD, the first five episodes on one DVD available now at your local anime store, and any fan of the original series will tell you to pick that up rather than watch blue blood and listen to cheap synth music and annoying dubs as opposed to the beauty that is the original.

    Knights of the Zodiac had great animations and great fights. What else do you need to make a great show? nothing that's why this show is so famous around the world. The knights of the Zodiac was a childhood favorite. It was a classic for kids around the world it was better than most show are today they should bring it back to TV but is has to have everything the last one did . I think this show died out before hitting its prime i use to watch this show every time i could rerun and all.moreless

  • One of the shows that actually feels more like a soap opera.

    "Dame tu fuerza Pegaso!" something like "Give me your Strenght, Pegassus" was our favorite phrase in this show, in the spanish translated version that is. This show has a great story, great animations and great fights. What else do you need to make a great show? Nothing else! One thing that this show has to hook you up and never let go, is the freaking cliffhangers! every single episode (jut like in Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z) you would have this unfinnished situation that is not partially solved until the next episode. Other annoying thing was the tears, everybody cries in this show! Excellent show!moreless
