Second Trailer for Saint Seiya Movie Releases, Includes Yoshiki’s Music Along with a Struggle Between the Bronze Saints

The movie Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary will release countrywide on June 21. The talked-about work is the movie version of Masami Kurumada’s popular manga with new visuals. This epic anime movie was created to celebrate Kurumada’s 40 years as a manga artist.

To date, the Saint Seiya series has been made into a movie several times. Among these, this new movie is the first to focus on the 12 Palaces arc, which has especially high popularity. In order to protect the goddess Athena, a battle unfolds between the Saints and the Gold Saints.

With less than a week to go until the release, the second trailer is now available. At about 1 minute in length, the trailer shows an intensity and sense of realism new to the series. A highlight is the theme song “Hero (Yoshiki Classical Ver.)” by Yoshiki, an artist who is active worldwide. The song freely expresses the mission of Athena, whose fate is being trifled with, and the Bronze Saints as well as the bonds between friends. This ballad by Yoshiki will bring excitement to the movie’s violent battles and speedy scenes.

The original work for Saint Seiya is a popular manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1985-90. There are 34.4 million copies in print worldwide. The TV anime, which began nine months after the start of serialization, went on to become a representative anime of the late ‘80s. The anime also has many fans, having been broadcast in over 80 countries.

Spearheading the movie is Masami Kurumada. Directing is Keiichi Sato of such series as Tiger & Bunny and Black Butler. Anticipation is building for this 2014 animation.
