Don't forget that the live-action Saint Seiya opens in a month here as Knights of the Zodiac.

The 80s and early 90s were a time for a lot of loose adaptions. Whether it was anime like Sailor Moon and Saint Seiya, or movies like Rambo and Toxic Avengers. Interesting to see an era where western adaptions of anime were animated instead of live-action. The last one I recall like that was the Ape Escape cartoon I saw on I believe Nickelodeon years ago.

Even though it's from the 90s, it looks like your average 80s cartoon, action figure designs and ugly as colouring.

I maintain the funniest course of events would have been this airing on a local station, presumably in syndication, while Univision or Telemundo had the actual Saint Seiya.
Obviously you couldn’t air Seiya on English television given syndication standards at the time without heavy edits, the first episode literally has a guy get his ear sliced off (although Spanish channels never cared). This thing though, I can’t see it being successful if a better looking, less edited version was airing on Spanish television. It would have been DBZ on Telemundo times 100. |

Comparing this with the Saint Seiya we know is kinda like comparing that American-produced Street Fighter cartoon with Street Fighter IIV.

Considering literally no one even knew that this existed at all before Ray Mona randomly stumbled on the tape in the Library of Congress.... Who knows what other anime might have gotten this treatment and we just never knew because it never got greenlit for a series.

Forever mad now that this never happened, it would've been amazing. |
