Los Caballeros del Zodíaco
This story is divided by arcs: Sanctuary, Poseidon and Hades thus the last one wasn't animated until 2004 or around (I can't remember ^^U) and with the still ongoing Ellysium. The Hades and the Ellysium ones had been being realized by OVA series. There is one anime arc that is not in the manga arcs, the Asgard, it was used to be a filler of 25 episodes while the author was continuing writing the Poseidon arc. Al thought it is called contemptuously a filler, the story was good enough making a wonderful work with the Holy Warriors of Odin and specially with their leader, Polaris Hilda (my fav female character ^o^).
There are three manga prequels starring the actual Gold Saints and the others, about the previous Holy War and the pasts Gold Saints:
Saint Seiya: Next Dimension
Saint Seiya Espisode G
Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas
The Saint Seiya movies:
Saint Seiya: The Movie (Saint Seiya Gekijoban/Jashin Eris) - released in 1987
Saint Seiya: Legend of Crimson Youth (Saint Seiya: Shinku No Shounen Densetsu) - released in 1988
Saint Seiya: The Heated Battle of the Gods (Saint Seiya: Kamigami no Atsuki Tatakai) - released in 1988
The music was composed by Seiji Yokoyama, wonderful and marvelous, can't describe it any better because it just gets the deepest of my heart, there are like 13 cds and I love all of them and surely, it is my first on my top favourites OSTs.
OMG... it is hard to give my comment in here XD because this is the first anime I was so obsessed, I like it since I was 9 years old... I used to have a lot of merchandising that I still keep like posters and used to have stationary stuff, figures and a plastic bronze cloth of Cygnus, I still have three of the movies as well and nowadays I have one wall scroll hehe. Because of this story I began to read about the Greek mythology and memorize it haha and believe it or not, it also leaves very good messages about us, the humans beings, strength, courage, our feelings, friendship, love and how beautiful is to live in this world. It has marked my life forever, the best shounen ever!!!
"Saori-saaaaaaaaan!"
