List Of Saint Seiya Media
The anime is based on the manga series of the same title (above). The animation series by Toei Animation first premiered on Japan's TV Asahi on October 11, 1986. Masami Kurumada has said that he does not like the anime, but agreed to transfer the manga to anime because of a tradition of making an anime from every manga.
The first anime series was produced by Toei Animation from 1986 to 1989. It was directed first by Kōzō Morishita (episodes 1 to 73) and then by Kazuhito Kikuchi (episodes 74 to 114). The character designers were Shingo Araki and Michi Himeno, and Seiji Yokoyama composed the soundtracks. The chief scriptwriters were Takao Koyama and Yoshiyuki Suga.
The anime is divided very similarly to Kurumada's original manga. The series has three main parts: Sanctuary (episodes 1-73), Asgard (74-99), and Poseidon (100-114). The Asgard arc does not exist in the manga and was made directly for the anime.
The Hades arc from Kurumada's manga was not adapted to animation in the original series, but it was adapted starting in 2003 and released in OVA format. The project ended in 2008, finally fully adapting Kurumada's manga to animation.
There have also been five theatrical releases (three short movies and two full-length ones), which do not belong to the regular chronology, as they contain several storyline contradictions. The movies are Saint Seiya (Saint Seiya Gekijōban), The Heated Battle of the Gods (Kamigami no Atsuki Tatakai), The Legend of the Crimson Youth (Shinku no Shōnen Densetsu), Warriors of the Last Holy War (Saishū Seisen no Senshi-tachi) and Heaven Chapter ~Overture (Tenkai-hen Josō~Overture).
In the US, Saint Seiya was licensed to DIC Entertainment, and the home video rights were licensed to ADV Films. Two English dubs were produced. One, an edited dub produced in Toronto, Canada by DIC, was renamed Knights of the Zodiac, and was broadcast on Cartoon Network in 2003. This dub lasted thirty-two episodes, and was released to VHS and DVD by ADV Kids. The other dub, produced by ADV Films in Houston, Texas, was fully uncut, and lasted fifty-two episodes, and retained the original Saint Seiya name. It was released to bilingual DVD from ADV Films, but production ceased when Knights of the Zodiac was canceled on Cartoon Network. However in 2009, ADV's interest in Saint Seiya was raised (combining with ADV possibly licensing the overall rights to the series as opposed to just the Home Video rights), and re-released their uncut episodes to DVD in boxset format planning to release more, but production was once again ceased due to ADV's financial troubles. Saint Seiya's license status in North America is currently unknown or if more episodes will be released to DVD.
The anime series Saint Seiya (Knights of the Zodiac) consists of the following episodes.

“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”

And list to the love of these,
She a window flower,
And he a winter breeze.”

Alone on a wide wide sea!
And never a saint took pity on
My soul in agony.”
