So my brother and I have been into a Japanese Manga Series called Saint Seiya (a.k.a. Knights of the Zodiac). It's about a group of young boys who wear armor called Cloths and protect Athena's reincarnation, a young girl named Saori. They have these powers within them called Cosmos and when they build up their Cosmos they unleash awesome power! There are three ranks in Cloths. The Gold Cloths which the Gold Saints wear and are the strongest, the Silver Cloth which are 2nd strongest, and the Bronze Cloth which are pretty much the weakest. The main characters of this series are Bronze Saints but they're the most dedicated followers of Athena and have reached levels higher than Gold Saints.
The Young Saints are
Seiya who wears the Bronze Cloth of Pegasus
Shiryu who wears the Bronze Cloth of Dragon
Hyoga who wears the Bronze Cloth of Cygnus
Shun who wears the Bronze Cloth of Andromeda
Ikki who wears the Bronze Cloth of Phoenix
Anywho, My brother and I have been following the story since the early 90s when they released the Spanish version here on my Spanish channel. Saw from the Sanctuary battles all the way to the Poseidon series.
Today however after years of waiting my brother and I saw the Hades series. I loved it. It was my favorite and now I'm reading that there's a Zeus series on the way!! Woot I can't wait for that.
I recommend this series to anyone interested in Anime.
I'd go on about what happens but that takes really long and I'm not good at writing reviews. But there's my take on it. Great show.
I'm sure most of you Toonami fans got to see some of the first series which was the battle in the Sanctuary but it gets way better after that and Toonami stopped showing the series after 32 episodes. I say it was a bad move by them. The rest were released on DVD.

I don't think they show it on TV anymore. I think they do in Mexico but I'm not to sure about the U.S. I haven't seen any info on it but there are some shows on Youtube you can check out. It's not the same as on DVD though which are available. They're in Japanese though. My brother got the ones with English Subtitles.
I got the first series on VHS lol. They're in Spanish.
