For some time now, a suspicious website has been keeping many nerds and otakus awake at night, wondering what this new content released by Toei Animation . Now, with just a few hours to go before the mysterious website opens, according to the cavzodiaco we can breathe a sigh of relief. It's about the new 3D CGI (computer graphics) film of Knights of the Zodiac, announced years ago and which will only hit theaters in 2014.
At the end of the countdown, the website will be redirected to www.saintseiya2014.com. The first official image was also released. In it, we can see Hyoga of Swan, Seiya of Pegasus, Shun of Andromeda, and Shiryu of Dragon facing away from each other in front of a staircase. More information coming soon.
The clock has run out. As speculated last week, the latest addition to Saint Seiya is the computer-generated film. The reset clock leads to the aforementioned saintseiya2014 website, which features a preview image of the film and the phrase "The Seiya Legend Begins Here." The feature film will retell the first phase of the classic manga: The Sanctuary Saga. We don't know exactly what the plot will be, but the image seems to confirm the presence of the four main Bronze Saints: Seiya, Shun, Shiryu, and Hyoga.
The project is being directed by Keiichi Satou, the same director behind Tiger & Bunny, and is accompanied by Masami Kurumada. The creator of Saint Seiya is listed as co-writer and chief producer.
The animation is due to hit Japanese cinemas in July 2014.
