Japanese animation (or anime) is known for its wild stories and, at times, mind-bending action, depending on the genre. These things make for some legendary cartoons (most based on manga, or Japanese comics). But they re difficult to translate well into live-action cinema, as "Knights of the Zodiac" further establishes.
The Saint Seiya live-action remake is drawn from the anime’s terrible 2019 CGI reboot, and even Famke Janssen, Sean Bean, and Mackenyu can’t bring it to life.
The live-action reimagining of Masami Kurumada’s revered manga 'Saint Seiya' is a below-average action fantasy made on an insufficient budget that will satisfy neither fans nor newcomers.
