Eles são!!!Eles são!!! Eles são os caavaaaleeiiiiiiiirrrrrrooooossss!!!!

hum....a childhood animation series! Good story, good animation, lots of actions, excellent characters and a great soundtrack, "Knights of the Zodiac", "Saint Seya" or "Cavaleiros do Zodiaco", is a an excellent Japanese "manga", later put on screen in a television animation series, and like almost the Japanese "anime", this one is pretty good!

Its basically a good vs evil fight,where the good guys (the Bronze Knights) kick ass the bad guys, over and over again,always to save Princess Athena from the evil ones which always tend to rule the world..

Its an original story based on mythology, legends and myths, an eternal fight of light and darkness.
