Best Netflix Anime 2018
Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya
Knights of the Zodiac, also known as Sainty Seiya, is a legendary anime and manga dating all the way back to 1985. The series takes place in ancient times, and focuses on a group of powerful warriors known as Saints, who devote their lives to protecting Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom. Saint Seiya was one of the biggest anime phenomena of the 1980s, and served as an inspiration for many later series including Gundam Wing and Ronin Warriors. Even Tite Kubo, the creator of Bleach, has said that the series had a big impact on him.
Because of the series’ status, it was exciting to see Netflix announce a brand new remake. The Netflix animation will have twelve episodes in its first season, with each episode running roughly 30 minutes. Yoshiharu Ashino, the director of D. Gray-man Hallow and certain episodes of the Thundercats reboot, is set to direct the series. Unfortunately, at the moment we only know the show is slated to stream sometime in 2018.
