MasqueradeOverture Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Iron Maiden needs to do "Pegasus Fantasy" for this. If not, then The Night Flight Orchestra: Quote

PokeNirvash Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 ITT: One Piece bashing, lesbians, and needless complaints. It's like the ASMB never died. ::]:: Quote
Jman Posted May 18, 2017 Author Posted May 18, 2017 seriously?, why? who the fuck in this country even knows what Saint Seiya is? Latinos. That's not a joke, the show was better known in Spanish: Los Callabreos Del Zodiaco. Quote
mochi Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Latinos.

MasqueradeOverture Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 ....hah, learn something new every day I recall Toonami briefly airing it dubbed right before sailor moon and the opening was replaced by the flock of seagulls song "I ran" Toonami never aired it. It was on Saturday Video Entertainment System (proto-Saturday Toonami). Quote
CaptainStarwind Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 More live action, I see. Doesn't matter who is directing, we all know how this is gonna go. Quote

Jman Posted September 22, 2021 Author Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) It’s happening, it actually has a good director and stunt crew, and for some reason, Sean Bean as Saori’s butler. Edited September 22, 2021 by Jman Quote
Jman Posted September 22, 2021 Author Posted September 22, 2021 I suppose If this is successful we can look forward to that girl from Stranger Things and Liam Neeson in an adaptation of Ronin Warriors. Quote
MasqueradeOverture Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 Still vouching for The Night Flight Orchestra to do the theme. Quote

We'll definitely get a version of the theme. The only one who didn't were those idiots at DIC. Who thought "I Ran" was a good idea? I remain convinced Omega got a remix of Pegasus Fantasy solely because of the "I Ran" cover. Edited September 25, 2021 by Jman Quote

Liam Neeson as Anubis is actually a really, really amazing mental image. I just want to hear him yell "Quake with Fear!" Quote
Jman Posted November 14, 2021 Author Posted November 14, 2021 To bring this thread full circle, the guy playing Seiya is the same guy playing Zoro in live action One Piece. Yeah, take that 2017 me! Quote
Jman Posted July 12, 2022 Author Posted July 12, 2022 https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2022-07-11/live-action-knights-of-the-zodiac-film-gets-first-look-at-comic-con-intl-in-san-diego/.187550 Apparently Sony will be showing the first look at the film at San Diego Comic Con. Given that Sony is essentially fumbling in the dark for a big franchise (Remember, these are the same people who released Morbius and keep trying to make movies out of C and D list Spider Man villains), I wouldn't be surprised if they think this can be a franchise lynchpin. Then again, they think Robotech can be their answer to Star Wars (which is why they threw money at Harmony Gold and Big West to make them both shut the fuck up), so I could easily see them thinking of Seiya as a big action movie tentpole.

Interestingly Toei’s head acknowledged the Netflix adaptation…didn’t go so well but the creator of the manga took him out for a night and helped smooth things over. Funny enough that Netflix show is getting a second season on Crunchyroll, especially with Sony as an international distributor. Hopefully they learned. Quote
Jman Posted November 29, 2022 Author Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) First teaser. You see now why they hired Sean Bean. Edit - Working link - Edited November 30, 2022 by Jman Quote
