Revision as of 21:13, 20 May 2022
Knights of the Zodiac is the international title for the Saint Seiya media franchise created by Masami Kurumada. Debuting in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump in 1986, the series later sprawled out to include multiple spinoffs, sequels, and anime adaptations. The first of which was produced by Toei Animation for 114 episodes on the TV Asahi network between 1986 and 1989.
After achieving great success internationally in French, Portuguese and Spanish-speaking markets, the original anime series was brought to English audiences in the early 2000s. One of those attempts included an edited dub produced by DIC Entertainment, which received only a partial home video release. Over the years, this dub has become infamous for its poor visual editing, primarily with the blood being recolored into something else other than red, questionable dialogue changes, with removing almost any mention of death in the series and replacing it with terms related to sleep being a notable example, and Stuart Stone's role as Cygnus Hyoga (Swan Hyoga in the DIC dub) being too out of character and sounding too similar to that of a stereotypical surfer boy.[1]
History
In July 2002, anime distributor ADV Films announced at their Otakon 2002 panel that they had purchased the rights to release the series in North America.[2] The following June, it was revealed that the company had only acquired a sublicense to Saint Seiya through an agreement with children's entertainment company DIC Entertainment - similar to their earlier partnership on another anime series, Sailor Moon. The French studio announced that it had sold 40 episodes of the show to Cartoon Network for broadcast in the United States under the name Knights of the Zodiac.[3]
The company produced an edited English dub recorded in Toronto, Ontario, by Kaleidoscope Entertainment. This version featured significant visual edits, storyline modifications and a cover of the A Flock of Seagulls song "I Ran (So Far Away)" by American rock band Bowling for Soup as its opening theme song. The series debuted on Cartoon Network in the United States on August 30, 2003.[4] Canadian broadcaster YTV aired a preview episode on September 1st before airing the show in its regular rotation on September 5th, 2003.[5][6][Notes 1] Parallel to DIC's dub, ADV Films produced their own uncut version under the Saint Seiya name.[7] Utilizing an entirely separate voice cast from the Houston, Texas area, their dub was primarily released on home video and ran for 60 episodes.
Though Cartoon Network initially planned to run the rest of DIC's dub in a late-night slot,[8] the show was pulled from the channel's schedule in April 2004 after 32 episodes aired.[9][10]
In Canada, however, all 40 episodes aired on television, with the dub's conclusion airing on July 24th, 2004.[11] The channel ran episodes 33-36 twice, with 37-40 only airing once, as YTV permanently removed Knights of the Zodiac from its lineup on October 9th, 2004.[12] The existence of the dub is supported by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), which approved 40 Knights of the Zodiac episodes as Canadian content on December 1st, 2003.[13] That indicates production on the entire batch was finished months beforehand.
Nearly 20 years after the DIC dub aired, the original anime, as well as an entirely new dub, produced by Sentai Filmworks, was released on Netflix between 2019[14] and 2020[15][16], making it the first one to dub the whole series in English. Both the series and the third dub are no longer available on the platform as of December 2021.[17]
Availability
Of the 40 episodes that exist of this dub, only 28 have ever been released on DVD.[18] However, five more volumes were planned but were cancelled for unknown reasons, which resulted in the remaining 12 episodes to become lost.[19] Due to DIC Entertainment folding in 2008, this dub has been long out of circulation, and therefore it is extremely hard to come by, especially when compared to the ADV and Sentai Filmworks dubs, which are easily available online via torrents. Various clips from the dub, as well as its intro and a few promos, exist on YouTube, and though full episodes were also uploaded to the platform, they get taken down very quickly by Toei Animation.
As of 2022, all 28 episodes that were released on DVD have been made available on the Internet Archive by Lost Media Wiki user Vexer6. The once missing episode 31 was also uploaded by the same user on April 4th, albeit in poor quality. For now, 8 episodes of the DIC dub remain completely lost, whereas the DIC dub of episodes 29, 30, and 32 only exist through short clips seen in episode 31, with episode 30 having audio.
