Plot: When a goddess of war reincarnates in the body of a young girl, street orphan Seiya discovers that he is destined to protect her and save the world. But only if he can face his own past and become a Knight of the Zodiac.
Review: Live-action adaptations of anime films and series have succeeded in Japan, but few have overcome the transition to Hollywood. For every Alita Battle Angel, there is a Ghost in the Shell, Dragon Ball Evolution, and Death Note. The cultural barrier aside, there has never been the right balance between ambition and execution. Sony’s Knights of the Zodiac is a valiant attempt to bring the Saint Seiya anime to life with a modest budget and recognizable actors just below the A-list. The result is a visually impressive movie with some franchise potential that ends up being squandered by a bland screenplay that barely scratches...

Based on a digital collectible card battle game, “Rage of Bahamut: Genesis” is one more title in the shonen category that transcends the genre, mostly by combining a number of other anime elements and coating them in an impressive and adult-oriented audiovisual package.
The story unfolds in a magical world called Mistarcia, where humans, gods and demons co-exist, although the first two seem to be in an alliance against the third, who try to influence the world mostly using cunningness. In the past however, when a terrible force in the shape of the dragon Bahamut appeared and threatened to destroy the whole world, the three races came together, and managed to seal its power. The key to that seal was split in two, with one half going to the gods and the other to the demons. Now, 2000 years later however, and while the world experiences a relative peace,...

The collage of different ideas that is usually the trademark of Miike’s cinema finds one of its apogees in “Zebraman 2”, a film that manages to portray a pointy sociopolitical satire about 2010 Tokyo and Japan in general, while incorporating a number of absurd ideas and a more than delirious narrative.
The story takes place in 2025, when Tokyo has been taken over by an eccentric Mayor named Kozo Aihara, who looks like he jumped straight from “A Clockwork Orange”, has changed the name of the city to Zebra City, and fully capitalizing on Zebraman’s heroics 15 years ago, has introduced Zebra time. This last concept is probably the most significant change, since, every day from 5:00 Am and for five minutes, all crime is legal. Among bosses raping their secretaries and a number of other crimes, the Zebra Police (who look like the members of a boy band...

Netflix is going all in on anime as they add the eagerly anticipated Godzilla movie and 12 other projects to their slate of upcoming programming. Deadline says in addition to the series the network is also overseeing the development of Cannon Busters, Devilman Crybaby, B: The Beginning, and Knights Of The Zodiac: Saint Seiya just to name a few.
The Godzilla and Saint Seiya grabs really show that Netflix is working to grab their Western audience who loves anime, but with competitors like Crunchyroll and Funimation (who was recently bought by Sony) in the mix, who knows if they'll be able to compete on that front. Time will tell, but the addition of so many projects seems promising for the future of anime on the platform.
