The guardians of the universe go out to fight for an ideal world. Of course, always keeping in his heart courage to win. Anyone who has not experienced the phenomenon of the Knights of the Zodiac during its first broadcast on Spanish television will be more or less puzzled by the two previous sentences. We are not going to deny the rest, counting the days until Seiya’s debut on the big screen. And is not for less.
Two months after its premiere on Spanish billboards, the film Knights of the Zodiac from Sony Pictures and Toei Animation reappears and begins its particular countdown with a new advance of almost two minutes full of digital effects. Something very necessary, since we are talking about the first live-action adaptation of the successful manganime Saint Seiya that has transcended generations.
Of course, as you can see below, the way in which it alternates between fidelity to the original material and what was created for the occasion lends itself to all kinds of reactions from the fans.
This new advance, offered exclusively for the IGN channel, reintroduces us to Seiya (played by Mackenyu) during his training period as the Knight of the Pegasus constellation. Which will not only give him a formidable armor that will amplify his powers, but an additional responsibility: protect the reincarnation of the goddess Athena (madison iseman). A very particular bodyguard with a certain predisposition to get into trouble.
The production rounds off its cast of young talents with two established stars as Famke Jansen and Sean Beanwho have coincided on the big screen on more than one occasion, while the direction is in the hands of Tomek Baginski, inspired by the manga by Masami Kurumada. Of course, despite the fact that the armors are somewhat different from those already known, it is still too early to reach conclusions.
It is expected that Knights of the Zodiac is released next may 26 in Spanish movie theaters, although in the United States it will begin to be broadcast on the 12th of the same month. What to do until then? The good news is that there are lots of video games to liven up the wait.
In any case, the new adaptation of Knights of the Zodiac It rounds out even more a 2023 in which those who are passionate about manga, anime and video games have more than covered the calendar of great releases in movie theaters and on television. Lots of excuses to gobble up popcorn.
