We are getting closer to the premiere of the live action of Knights of the Zodiac, one of the most recognized anime in history. This adaptation was confirmed six years ago and only this last year we began to have news about it. In the middle of the whole process, a new version was released in anime cgi, which did not fully convince the fans of the original anime. But with the new trailer that premiered sony picturesIt seems that we are facing a live action that could do justice to the source material.
The first glimpse of this film came to us a few months ago and those who saw it had memories of dragonball evolution, one of the most hated adaptations by anime fans. And with this new advance of Knights of the Zodiac We can see that it is not so similar to that live action, but it does not promise to be very different either.
The official synopsis of the film reveals the following: “seiya, a headstrong street teenager, spends his time fighting for money while searching for his kidnapped sister. When in one of his fights mystical powers that he was unaware of are revealed to him, seiya He finds himself drawn into a world of warring saints, ancient magical training, and a reincarnated goddess in need of his protection. In order to survive, he will have to accept his fate and sacrifice everything to take his rightful place among Knights of the Zodiac“.
The trailer shows us a bit of seiyaof Athena and the armors that became so beloved throughout many episodes of the anime. However, as happened with the previous teaser, these images do not finish convincing fans 100% Knights of the Zodiac. But you should not rely on the advances that were coming out, since you can finish polishing some visual effects issues that can change the feature film for the better.
