Knight of the Zodiac!

Recommended Posts

Yeah I got the Saint name wrong but, the good news is that it will be on Cartoon Network in a week or so for the new weekend late night line up.

 

Pegasus rules all!

I just finished watching the show that is on Cartoon Network at 6 central and have a few questions. In the dubbing they always refered to the Pegasus armor as the golden cloth, why? Why could'nt they just call it armor? And what year was the orginal run, it looks to be mid 80s to me.

I've followed the Saint Seiya series for quite a few years now but always in spanish dub (called "Caballeros del Zodiaco") or japanese with subtitles. It's one of my favorite anime series ever with terrific fights and great stories of friendship and honor. I think it's great that Cartoon Network is playing the show. I still haven't seen the english dub version but I'm looking forward to it.

 

As far as Seiya's Pegasus armor being called "golden cloth" is a mistery to me. Seiya's armor (along with the other three main warriors) are "Bronze Armor", meaning they're below Silver and Gold (which is the highest honor). Seiya does get to use Golden Armor in the series (the Sagitarius one, If I'm not mistaken) but it happens later on.

The voice actors are average but what I dislike it that they refer the armor as cloth. I think the 1st episode was on saturday with Seiya winning the bronze pegasus in the tourny and defeated the cobra fighting style green hair girl later in the show.

Is it one episode a week? It's got a long way to go then, and I don't want to spoil anything but be ready for some great fights. Hopefully CN won't butcher (edit) the fight scenes, since some are extremely bloody and violent.

 

BTW, I downloaded the first 13 episodes of the new Saint Seiya Hades saga and they're kickass, too!

Well the way Cartoon Network releases the shows I bet it will be like 20 episodes then repeat and rinse about 5 times before I get bored with it.

 

I remember watching this years ago and only remember a few bits and pieces of the show. Like the Dove/Snowbird(?), Scorpion, Snake characters.

i watched ALL the episodes of this when i was like 8-9 years old, it was pretty big around here and was THE cartoon to watch.

 

my favorite saga is when they fight the Gold armored knights who are the sings of the Zodiac.

 

and later in the show when Seiya, Shiriu and Yioga got the Gold armors...Mark Out moment~!

I've never seen any DVD releases for Saint Seiya other than the new Hades saga which collects 3-4 episodes on each disc but they're not Region 1 anyway.

 

The warriors are:

Pegasus (Seiya)

Swan

Andromeda

Dragon

Phoenix (Andromeda's brother, who appears later in the series)

 

Anybody seen the OVAs? The one vs. Lucifer is my favorite, and the most realistic depiction of the devil I've EVER seen.
