Saint Seiya
Revision as of 13:03, 26 March 2008 by Rubycatbot (talk | contribs)
Saint Seiya is about these magical boys in armor called saints who run around for the goddess Athena. There's lots of fighting, and even if a character is merely spanked, his/her skin will squirt out a half liter of blood.
Saints fight with an energy called their Cosmo, which is like chi, only better. One's Cosmo is from the power of little tiny solar systems within one's body, which is actually one's atoms, I am not making this up.
But Saint Seiya isn't just popular for it's wacky 80's anime styled bishounen, it's all about the magical body armor modeled after constellations.
Expensive figurines and model kits are still being made and collected to this day, but that's mostly due to Japanese consumerism.
