If you’re into epic battles and Greek mythology, Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac is an anime you won’t want to miss. This classic from the 1980s has a rich tapestry of arcs, movies, and spin-offs that can be a bit overwhelming to dive into. But don’t worry—here’s a handy guide to help you watch Saint Seiya in the right order to get the full experience.

 

What’s Saint Seiya About?

You might remember the live-action Knights of the Zodiac movie that didn’t quite hit the mark at the box office. It was based on the Saint Seiya manga, which ran from 1985 to 1990, and the anime that aired from 1986 to 1990. The series follows the “Saints,” powerful warriors dedicated to protecting Earth and the reincarnation of the goddess Athena.
