Over 2000 years ago, universe is formed from the power of Gods, and to protect mankind, The Goddess Athena assigned the power of the stars in the body of chosen humans and they are called "saint"



In Japan nowadays, A young princess named Kaori, is proven to be the reincarnation of Athena, and she will face her first test against evil when the world suddenly collapsed, and it appears that one of her own men has planned a coup d'etat.



In her attempt to fight against the rebel, she called upon her remaining saints, and one of those who answers is Seiya, the incarnation of Pegasus. With the help of Hyoga, the incarnation of Cygnus, Shiryu, an incarnation of dragon, The gentle hearted Shun -- incarnation of Andromeda, and his brother Ikki, the incarnation of Phoenix, the six of them set on a journey to Athens, Greece, to put the world back into order.

A lot of this is talked about in the other topics. It was very original for its time (you can't considerit sentai, there's too many dang suits and it's shounen, sure, but there's some love stories in it), and a few things copied it (or B'tX, in which case sometimes it seems like Kuramada copied himself) There is humor, it doesn't abound and it depends on where you are in the story (more humor is found at the beginning of the whole series and Kiki provides a lot in Poseidon), but you don't always need to laugh. I will again say, I enjoy it, but I do consider it a guilty pleasure of mine even within the anime world. If you like Dragonball Z, Yuu Yuu Hakusho, Yoroiden Samurai Troopers (Ronin Warriors), or even crazy Greek mythology, give this a whirl, I think you'll like it.
