Saint Seiya

[GVman@Guts]

I'm thinking about reading StS and was thinking of buying the US volumes (partly because I want to support the creators and partly because there aren't really any scanlations), but I've heard that there are some name changes for a few characters and terms (such the Galaxian Wars being renamed the Galactic Tournament). Are those the only changes?

Also, has anyone licensed the Saint Seiya anime since ADV released about half of it on DVD and then stopped?

I think one of the major changes was changing the name of Cancer Gold Knight Deathmask into Mephisto for some odd reason

Funimation should totally think about licenseing Saint Seiya.

They should because when it was run in the US as "Knights of the Zodiac," it failed to gain an audience. I still liked the whole "Saint Seiya" series in general just that the first arc was considerably way too long.

depends on how you break it down

is it just:

1) Gold Saints Arc/battle for sanctuary
2) Poseidon Arc
3) Hades Arc

OR

1) Galactic tournament
2) Phoenix
3) Silver Saints arc
4) Gold Saints/battle for sanctuary
5) Poseidon Arc
6) Hades Arc (which can also be broken down.)

in all honesty I prefer the unofficial prequel Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas

Well I liked the whole Poseidon Arc as well as Hades and Asgard. Just that Sanctuary seemed like it took way too long in my opinion. I still dig the series and now I'm trying to find it on eBay for a good price.
