If it’s your first time ever witnessing Saint Seiya, I suggest you skip this movie and go watch the anime, I recommend starting with the 12 houses, where seiya goes against the 12 golden zodiac saints in order to save Athena from the grand pope whose been manipulated by evil. I’d suggest doing this not only because yes the animated show is better , but because you’ll appreciate the movie more, and when I mean animated show I don’t mean the Netflix version that was most recently released, I mean the super old school 80’s version of it. The anime is not hard to love, I don’t see why the developers keep wasting money on making all these different adaptations of it when they can simply keep everything from the old show, and give it updated animations and more intense fight scenes. If you give the anime a chance you’ll see what I mean. Everything about it is brilliant, but it just needs to be up to date, like dragon ball z, it has changed to please the new generation with different standards and that’s why it’s withstood the tick of time.
