Oddly enough, only the first couple episodes have relatively poor visuals, and the production value picks up as it goes on. It has that very tropey, 80s anime feel to it (the kind of thing that Futurama episode Rebirth captured so well), which makes it kind of hilarious. As far as its story goes, it’s actually kind of cool and pretty compelling. It’s certainly not a great anime, but it’s no worse than any other anime we grew up with. Only revisiting it as an adult do I appreciate its real worth. Having fancied myself somewhat of an anime connoisseur (only as an adult did I realize I was the biggest anime snob, thinking I was a lot smarter than I was), I wrote it off for its lacklustre visuals and mediocre plot. I was in high school when it had its brief run as Knights of the Zodiac on YTV’s late-night anime program Bionix. I never really got into Saint Seiya when I had the chance.
