Well I had missed the first printing of the Saint Seiya collection sets and I have to say it is nice to have a reissue to be able to get a series quickly and easily instead of having to look all around for it or going through imports. As for the series itself it is an awesomely wonderful piece of '80's anime. The series is presented uncut so all the blood and fighting is kept intact. The series tells the tale of warriors or "Saints" chosen to contest for the golden armor. (The plot changes as the story goes on) Each saint is given an armor pertaining to a constellation. Along with individual armor each saint battles with a set of signature moves pertaining to their constellation. A great set for anyone who likes '80's or '90's anime and I hope there is more to come.

Watching these dvds brings back the good old days when I was a kid watching Saint Seiya in the morning. The action is amazing and violent, which I love.

However, I do agree that the fact that only the first 60 episodes are being released does take away from the excitement of buying the collections. Unfortunately, I have bought both these collections and I just found the entire series including the entire hades and death of hades sagas for the same price. Its in spanish but I don't mind, because I actually prefer anime in spanish, the voice acting in spanish is way better than english. I have a friend that will buy the two collections I have so it's a win win for me.

So, I you want the entire series, don't buy this collection. Try to find and import, if you don't mind reading subtitles or if you speak spanish or japanese. If you don't care about getting the entire series then go ahead and buy this collection, you will enjoy watching an epic anime.

This is one of the series that started Japanese anime in the USA. The graphics isn't the best but I still love it :)

I think this is ridiculous, they make us buy 12 volumes of saint seiya that are completely useless without the remaining volumes. It cost me roughly $150 for all the 12 volumes, so multiply that by several thousands. Where did all that money go? I think that ADV owes its fans an explanation. what i would like to know, is there any legal actions that can be taken against ADV? Now I believe that ADV is no longer in business so who is legal responsible? I want my remaining volumes!!

Please do yourself a favor and just buy the import. I bought the entire series for $30. I can't believe it has taken them this long to just release the same 5 discs over and over. This is the 3rd printing of these same episodes unless you count Knights of Zodiac then it's actually the 4th. Gimme a break!!! I don't think any of us should buy and more saint seiya dvds until they release the entire series in one boxed set. How have they not figured out that what we want .. jeez. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!

Yes I appreciate the cover looks prettier than the ones before, but other than that this so-called collection 1 seems excally the same content with the one released on Feb 2006, the same title "collection 1" and the same contents "750 mins" and the same features for sure.
Anyway the point is with all this time wasted to release the same contents with just a different cover, why can't they just spend some time to work on the remaining episodes, like for example keep trying to convience Toei to liscen the remaining arcs so that we can enjoy the entire show ?
