More Info at:
The Saint Seiya anime series officially ended on August 31st, 2008 with the 31st OVA of the Hades saga.
As we already know, Saint Seiya is popular around the world including France, Italy, Spain, Latin America, China and of course its homeland Japan during the late 1980's and during the 1990's. The series (both anime and manga by Masami Kurumada, original creator) was brought to America 20 years later. A feat that seemed impossible due to the series' age, content and character design.
In 2003, DIC Entertainment licensed the series and renamed it "Knights of the Zodiac". American fans finally got the opportunity to experience Saint Seiya for the very first time ever but unfortunately, the version aired on Cartoon Network suffered drastic changes: poor dub, heavily edited scenes, painted blood and replaced music. Because of these changes, fans rejected the series quick and eventually, it was removed from US television.
ADV Films took quick action and re-dubbed the series with a different cast. The result was a relief but ADV Films only dubbed the first 60 episodes which is not enough to finish the first saga. The last DVD volume came out in 2005 marking end of license of the anime in the US. The manga by VIZ is still running but uses DIC dub for the series such as "Sienna" for Saori.
Now it's time to demand ADV Films and/or English anime dubbing companies to continue Saint Seiya where ADV Films left off to the very end. Fans demanded the Hades saga of the manga to become anime. We can do the same too.
We as anime fans hate to see anime with such potential go to waste. The series was dubbed in English but left incomplete due ADV Film's insecurity to continue the long running series. Now that the anime officially ended, we must demand a proper English dub ending (and respect) for the series. Together we can make Saint Seiya come back to America.....or at least to the English-speaking world.

- Please include a Spanish audio option for those who grew up watching it like me. Also, it'd be perfect if the show is aired uncensored on Adult Swim. I'm sure it'd do great.

- I live in England. I love Saint Sieya and I used to watch in Switzerland as a kid in french. Unfortunately I still do not know how the first series and to this day it still haunts me. I need know how it ends thus the english dubbing of Saint Seiya must continue.

- Saint Seiya (Caballeros Del Zodiaco in Mexico) was the first Anime I ever saw as a child. I was thrilled when I saw the two volumes on DVD but now I am deeply addened by the fact that I can no longer get the rest of the series on DVD, Saint Seiya is a cherished child hood memory of mine and I would Like to revisit the series and view it completley.

- Saint Seiya NEEDS to come back to U.S. A new Saint Seiya series is coming up (the lost canvas saga) and it can be a great comercial success for whoever brings it to america. But for it to have any value, the original saint seiya series needs to come to America and have it's english dub finished where it left off.
