Saint Seiya: Legend Of Crimson Youth
Due to the series' high popularity in Japan and the rest of the world, four films based on Saint Seiya were released in theatres or TV between 1987 and 1989, while the original TV series was still airing. The plots of these films do not comply with the chronology of the manga or anime storylines and therefore it is unknown at what point the events of the films take place. A fifth film named Heaven Chapter: Overture was released in 2004, originally intended to initiate a continuation of the manga.
Despite the first movie being released in 1987, none of the movies received an official English release in North America, until it was announced by Discotek in 2012 that they had acquired the rights to all four movies, with the intention of releasing them to home video across two DVDs, each containing two of the movies. However, no English dub will be produced for any of the movies, and the DVDs will only contain the original Japanese audio track with English subtitles.

That flies in the night,
In the howling storm,
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.”
