I originally wanted to continue reminiscing about childhood animations yesterday, but due to the child's vision problem, I have been running back and forth between the hospital and home for the past two days, so I was delayed in updating the article. I hope that my friends are not in a hurry, so I will say it here. I'm sorry [thank you]
After the dust has settled, the child finally became myopic, and he is going to need glasses later. I wonder if you have any experience with children's myopia. Is it a frame or the orthokeratology lens recommended by the hospital? , can you give me some suggestions? I also hope that everyone can tell me in private messages. I won’t discuss family matters in the comment area. Let’s leave this area to friends to speak freely. Thank you in advance [zuoyi]
Let’s get down to business! "Saint Seiya" is definitely one of the most popular anime works among the majority of anime fans born in the 1980s. In our minds, it is as important and incomparable as Dragon Ball, Slam Dunk, and many classic anime works with armor as the main color. A rivalable position. I believe that many viewers born in the 1980s who have already married and started a career will have similar childhood memories - when playing with classmates in elementary school, they would always shout: "Take the move, look at my Pegasus Meteor Fist !", "Must kill" Technique! Lushan Rising Dragon Dominates !", "Nebula Chain!", "Look at me wearing golden holy clothes !"... There will also be pairs of "Seiya" and "Athena" ”, this is also a classic “teasing” [laughing evilly] that we used to treat our male and female classmates who had ambiguous relationships when we were young. But looking back, maybe the "Seiya" classmates at that time were all low-key winners in life, and they learned to pick up girls at a young age... [Thinking]
I believe the "Saint Seiya" cartoon I watched when I was a child has become a The childhood memories of an entire generation. When I was celebrating my birthday when I was in elementary school, my old uncle was still in a relationship. When we went out on a date, he asked me if I wanted to bring something back from the street. I told him the name of this comic and thought to myself. I am very satisfied to be able to bring back a copy! In the evening, my old uncle actually gave me a whole volume of the underworld chapter of "Saints of the Goddess" published by Hainan Fine Arts Photography Publishing House. My mood was filled with gongs and drums and firecrackers! I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night long. The happy scene at that time is still unforgettable. The image of my old uncle has become a lot bigger in my heart since then. The dialogue is in the picture and looks more vivid. This attracted my interest as I had never read comics. Moreover, Saint Seiya also chose the popular Greek mythology theme, and coupled with the relatively fashionable constellations, both boys and girls became interested in this comic. Especially the disassembly diagrams of and at the back of each book. I admire these exquisite ideas very much.
The Bronze Five Xiaoqiang
Fight with the "small universe" burning in the body. Warriors with superhuman strength are called saints. They wear holy clothes and shoulder the important task of protecting the goddess Athena. The 88 Saints corresponding to the 88 constellations in the sky are divided into three levels according to their abilities: " Gold Saints ", "Silver Saints" and " Bronze Saints ". The saints, led by Seiya of the Pegasus constellation, fight side by side with the protagonist, which we enjoy talking about. In the original story, the Bronze Five, who will never be defeated by evil forces, and Athena, the guardian goddess of love and justice, have become classic settings in the animation industry. As far as Chinese audiences are concerned, I believe that many people first heard astronomical knowledge such as "88 Constellations" and "Twelve Constellations" in the "Saint Seiya" animation. And when we were children, we would never have thought that the brave and skilled twelve golden saints in the cartoons could now be used by little girls to calculate their horoscopes, right?[呲呲]

The original work "Saint Seiya" ("Saint Seiya -セイントセイヤ-", generally referred to as the SS chapter for the original work) is the sixth full-length comic work of the famous fourth-generation Japanese cartoonist Masami Kurumada . It first appeared in The December 1985 issue of "Shōnen Jump Weekly" magazine published by Japan's Shueisha.SS has gained great popularity not long after it was serialized. As one of the few comics produced by Shueisha at that time, the SS chapter was serialized for 5 years. Its popularity has been enduring and it has caused a wide range of topics among comic fans.
"Saint Seiya" is based on Greek mythology combined with astronomical constellation stories as the main background of the comic. At that time, I still didn't know anything about Greek mythology. Later I began to slowly understand that this comic is based on ancient Greek mythology as the main world view structure. , supplemented by a large number of biblical myths, Egyptian myths, Western legends, and some Celtic myths, Chinese myths, Aztec myths and other myths and legends to create the classic animation image "Saint Seiya". The SS chapter tells the passionate mythical story of the Saints protecting the reincarnated goddess Athena. The original author Masami Kurumada once said that the inspiration for the work came from an online information called "Meteor Cluster of the Leo Constellation", and took this as an opportunity to create a female holy warrior with unique skills and wearing a holy dress representing the constellation.
Shortly after the comic was serialized, the TV version of the animation was produced by Toei Animation Co., Ltd. in 1986 and was broadcast nationwide in Japan. The TV version of "Saint Seiya" gained extremely high popularity during its broadcast. In addition to fans of the original manga, the TV version of SS also attracted a large number of new viewers who were new to the work. Our country officially introduced the "Saint Seiya" cartoon in 1992, and it was broadcast on many TV stations across the country. At the end of 1990, Hainan Fine Arts Publishing House officially introduced the original comic work and translated it as "Saint of the Goddess". It is divided into 9 volumes, each volume has 5 volumes, for a total of 45 volumes. In addition to the genuine comics produced in Hainan, there were also many unknown publishers that printed a large number of pirated Saint Seiya comics, which became the comic enlightenment reading materials for many children at that time. I believe that many anime fans of the same age were led into the trap by Saint Seiya. (A bunch of ignorant children laughed and walked into the ACG pit, and they have been unable to extricate themselves since then...) With the introduction of SS comics and the subsequent popularity of the TV version in our country, Saint Seiya has been prosperous in our country's comic industry for a long time. time.
So far, from 1985 to the present, Saint Seiya and its branches have covered comics, animation, novels, games, models, movies and other related fields. They have endured for decades and become a classic work loved by fans.

Seiya and Purple Dragon of the Draco constellation, Hyoga of the White Bird constellation, The four bronze saints of the Andromeda Constellation Shun participate in the competition for different reasons. During the game, Ikki, the Bronze Saint of the Phoenix Constellation, who wants to steal the Golden Saint Cloth of Sagittarius, appears. At this point, all five protagonists have arrived.

Although the enemies from the Sanctuary were defeated, Athena's life still hung on a thread. The Pope sent the strongest Golden Saint to stop Seiya and others. After that, Seiya and the others started a desperate battle with the "god warriors" who guarded the earthly representative of the North European Asgard god Odin, Hilda. After the victory, in order to rescue Athena who was imprisoned in the underwater temple of Poseidon, Seiya and the others started a fierce battle with the "Sea Saints" and "Sea Generals" (but if I remember correctly, the Nordic There are no comics in this chapter).
After this, Pluto Hades , who had been sealed by Athena a long time ago, came back and hijacked Athena to the underworld to re-lift the seal of Pluto Hades. The Saints once again had to embark on the road of fighting to save the goddess. After passing through the Wall of Sighs, they reached the Pure Land. The true form of Hades finally appeared. Seiya and others once again created miracles, and The five little heroes all put on sacred clothes and finally rescued Athena.

Hey, woman. . . . . .
Fight for Athena!
Postscript There are also derivative theatrical versions after
. I won’t go into details here. As I mentioned before, there are too many fields and mythological backgrounds covered by Saint Seiya. Just rely on one article. The article cannot be said to be comprehensive. When I kept typing, the names of those saints came to mind, especially when I saw the coefficients of the golden saints gathered in the underworld, using their final tricks to cooperate with Tonghu teacher saint. The weapon transformed by Yi Suo finally opened the insurmountable wall of sighs with power beyond the sun's rays. It was like seeing the dawn of hope. I really wanted to go to the Pure Land of Paradise with the Five Little Strong to join the battle! !
If there are any regrets left after the 114-episode TV version of "Saint Seiya" produced by Toei was screened, I believe everyone who has watched it will think of the SS "Pluto Chapter" that has never been put on the screen. As for why the Pluto chapter was not released back then? According to anecdotal reports, although Toei made a lot of money when the TV version was released, it attracted a large number of new fans for the manga at that time. However, with the later broadcast of the TV version, Toei had a lot of problems in the commercial promotion of Saint Seiya. It directly led to the rapid decline in popularity of the Saint Seiya animation that year, and it would be unprofitable to use a lot of human resources and financial budgets to produce the Pluto chapter. There are also sources from unknown sources that pointed out that after the TV version was broadcast, the original authors Kurumada Masami and Azuma The movie had a falling out; some people said that at that time, the animation once again caught up with the progress of the original work, and it was difficult to create a new script, etc... Due to the age and the relatively limited access to information, the truth of the facts cannot be verified, but the Pluto chapter is as "Saint" The core plot of the second half of the comic "Fighter Seiya" plays a very important role in the entire original story. The failure to officially put it on the small screen has become a regretful memory that cannot be erased in the hearts of comic fans.
In the days after the TV version was completed more than ten years ago, the teenagers who watched "Saint Seiya" on the TV have grown up, and the unfinished story has become a gradually fading childhood memory of this generation. However, things took a turn for the worse. No one expected that the unfinished story of Saint Seiya would be opened again at Toei in 2002! After many years, the three words "Pluto" once again entered the eyes of comic fans, igniting Saint Seiya fans all over the world. What a nerve! When I heard the news that the Pluto chapter was about to be animated, I immediately dug out the comics at home and read them again. I was really excited for a while.
The " Saint Seiya Pluto Chapter " produced by Toei will be produced in the form of OVA. The first episode of OVA will be officially released in November 2002. "In the story of Pluto's Twelve Houses, Gemini Saga, Aquarius Camoo and Goat Shura Sanming Golden Saint become the enemy protagonists, with the goal of "capturing the head of Athena" , became the vanguard of Hades, and bravely entered the sacred realm of the Zodiac..." The above is the story content of the 13 episodes of the Pluto and the Zodiac chapter, which was released at the end of 2002. The animated version of Pluto will be divided into 4 OVAs for sale, including the Twelve Houses of Pluto chapter, the first chapter of Hades's Underworld chapter, the second chapter of Hades's Underworld chapter, and the Hades Pure Land chapter. part.
The Pluto chapter starts from the 19th volume of the comic version and officially ends in the 28th volume. The content accounts for nearly one-third of the entire set of stories. The story is so rich that there is no need to spend more time introducing the plot. In the original story of Pluto, the original story structure of "Xiao Qiang rushes to save the goddess" is broken, and in a true sense, the young boy's passionate comic story of Saint Seiya is developed into a mythical story with a grand and magnificent plot. The Twelve Golden Saints have also become the most popular anime characters after the Bronze Five. The audience of Pluto is not only the teenagers of JUPM, but also attracts many adult readers to become fans. Although after the original manga Pluto was completed, Masami Kurumada officially ended the creation of the manga due to various reasons such as mental weakness.However, it has been confirmed by many parties that the author still has a very large story concept that has not yet been presented in the follow-up to Pluto. This also leaves a deep hole for the huge world view of subsequent fan works such as the Pluto Myth LC/ND and the OVA Heaven Chapter Prologue...
