Netflix Releases New Action-Packed SAINT SEIYA: KNIGHTS OF THE ZODIAC Trailer Before Launch

Saint Seiya is one of the many anime that is on my giant list of classic anime I need to go back and watch. With that being said, Netflix is launching a retelling of the original series with CG animation called Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac. Fans haven’t seemed too happy about the style, but that’s not stopping anything. A new trailer for the series has dropped and it is more action packed with hints that this could be decent, if fans can get over the animation and other changes. Unfortunately, the trailer is in Japanese with no subtitles, so I have no idea what is being said.

“A fighter and a saint who hopes to appear in the world when evil infests the world (Saint). They gather to protect the goddess Athena, who is born once every few hundred years. And modern. The boy, Seiya, who lives in a children’s nursing home, spends himself in the fight against evil that will bring about the destruction of humanity in order to protect Athena’s incarnation with the young saints.”

Knights of the Zodiac will be available on Netflix starting July 19.
