Knights of the Zodiac guts a beloved anime franchise to make a pointless movie
The good news is that Knights of the Zodiac, the 2023 live-action adaptation of the manga and anime series Saint Seiya, will immediately look familiar to longtime fans. The bad news is that it’s because the film seems to be primarily based on the 2019 Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya CGI series, which fans widely consider a low point in Saint Seiya history. To be fair to that series and the 2023 movie, it’d take an immense effort for a live-action version to look as good as the classic anime adaptation of Masami Kurumada’s manga, a TV series that left such an impression that the series is getting a live-action Japanese/U.S. adaptation nearly four decades later. But it’s unclear why director Tomasz Baginski and his writers decided to abandon every element that made Saint Seiya so beloved in the first place.
