HELLO, Hola, Bonjour!
I never realized how many international fans I had until very recently. I just wanna say thank you so much for the support! It means the world
Bonjour! And merci for your work ! 💙🌸
Hello, thanks you
I love you, Mona, thank you!!
Yeah lady! We love you so much here in Brazil, you're the Lost Media Godess!!! Saint Seiya (Cavaleiros do Zodiaco) is basically the most influent anime who opened the doors for Dragon Ball and others to grow! So, yours findings (Guardians and Star) were awesome for us! Keep up the good work and, again, thanks a lot REALLY!! 💖💓
Here in Panama, Saint Seiya was known as "Caballeros del Zodiaco", and it was huge! We came from school straight to watch it on tv, and then on weekends, we had maratons of Caballeros for like 3 hours on tv.
This anime is the one that made me realize I could draw and hold a special place in my heart.
Thank you so much for all your work!!! ❤❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
And there you have it folks. The reason ray mona is the queen of lost media. Is the pilot seriously exposition from a crazy dramatic guy?
Yes. And it’s amazing in a Xena kind of way. Kinda interesting how this feels reminiscent.
Which brings up another question. Why not just make Saint Seiya into a Xena clone instead? I’ve been watching that and it feels like the right tone. Just make the armors less bulky.
@@ByTheStorm true
I find it so funny that in the original anime and manga Shiryu is known for being blind in several fights and occasions, while in this version his whole thing is shooting people with heat vision lol
His blindness would have been an interesting development taking that into account.
would be funny if the show went on and the cause of his blindness ended up him overusing his eye lasers and getting cataracts of something in that overly dramatic soap opera kind of drama where everyone is beside him on the hospital bed and all
In all fairness he wasn’t blind at the start. Also he regained his vision after fighting Death Mask AKA Cancer or Klaw? Klar? Whatever they call him in this show. I don’t know, this is all over the place.
@@Kateshi It really could be interesting, but since his powers are mainly optical he would have been in a way worse condition compared to the original character.
@@joaogrrr Original Saint Seiya kinda has this soap opera vibe to It, so it weirdly fits lol
In the immortal words of Robbie Rotten:
"This is going down in history!"
You, my friend, are quite literally doing the Lord's work, documenting the media you cover while also uploading the pieces that were found
After decades, finally, it's found!!!!!!!!
thx Ray Mona, a big fan of saint seiya here!
Better than the live action Saint Seiya by Sony. Sorry Mackenyu.
I'm not even into Saint Seiya all that much, but I've gotta say, this is an important artifact in the popularization of anime in North America. I also find a bit of odd charm in how they tried to Power Rangers-ify the series. All in all, thank you for preserving this!
This was because Americans couldn't import the original 1986 anime due to strict guidelines of importing animes Stateside, that anime was too violent for kids and it's very hard to find a way to censor anything without cutting it out. It got relaxed in the 2000s when Cartoon Network released Toonami block that aired animes with less to none censorship. This is why Cartoon Network aired the DiC dub of Saint Seiya than on local networks like Fox Kids and ABC Kids.
That makes sense
For 5 dollars and a dream, this pilot honestly looks pretty great...
American adaptations really like making Shun a girl.
The released ones have. Though I recall the KOTZ movie didn’t and that animated pilot.
Guardians of the Cosmos made him a macho dude
Americans don't get the whole Japanese trope "gentle guys have inner strength".
@@MattiaBulgarelli I’m calling nonsense on that, though. Especially since the original anime and its spinoffs (and the movie I seen) didn’t quite get it either. Shun was basically as useless as Saori in the story because making him do anything crucial with his armor, it’ll quickly go into Rated R territory. Think of Hellraiser. I kinda lost interest watching the series once I realized he pretty much was a punching bag to show how awful the threat is. And while I like the character concept? Kurumada wrote them into a corner with a double whammy of a graphic weapon and being based on the eponymously chained woman from Greek myth. One that basically does…nothing and is not alluded as to why besides his moral qualms. They shown his brother being tortured by his mentor and even kill his own daughter, but Shun got nothing like that.
It’s hard to honestly take the inner strength teope execution seriously when it doesn’t surface in any meaningful manner and only serves to undermine it.
Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho is a far better example of this character done right because he’s not useless and can hold his own.
As for America? Samurai Jack is a gentle character, but he’s proactive. Same as Iroh and Richie from Static Shock. And Gabrielle from Xena. The latter is a woman but it still applies.
In terms of villains in both counterparts of Shaider, Priest Poe was androgynous but in VR Troopers, they made into a female character.
gracias por tener presente a la comunidad de Saint Seiya ⚔️📿🪷
Thank you very much for making this pilot available and posting it! Brazilian fans of your work will be eternally grateful to you, my dear Ray Mona!! Congratulations on the AMAZING work of finding and making available all these lost media!!
2012 was the future 🤯
It wasnt the future... it was the end of the world
@@alanemmanuelsayago3377 the end of the world sure take some time
@@Game_Hero too much i must said 😤😑
idc about the quality, can we talk about how SICK those armors looked?
also it's kind of hilarious for a show that's changing so much about its inspiration to KEEP the og armor, something the original didn't do for most of its run, but also to care so little for production so as to make it super impractical and give 3 of the 5 of them the fucking wings their cloths have
seriously, this looks less of a cheesy cash grab adaptation and more of a big time saint seiya fan having his chance to write his fan fiction
Thanks for finding this! This might have aired on Fox Kids if picked up by the network.📺
Se siente tan raro poder verlo completo al fín despues de 6 años viendo ese fragmento de 20 segundos y fantaseando como era y si se iba a encontrar algún día... Muchas gracias Ray Mona, sos la genia del Lost Media.
Thanks for this, Ray Mona! The Saint Seiya community loves you! 🙏🏻🥰
Your dedication to tracking these lost media examples is exemplary and the results, spectacular! Thank you.
Dear Ray Mona, from France a big "thank you" for your incredible job!
I love the French video of the Saint Seiya dub that features Bernard Minet standing on the green screen singing to the song.
The only good actor was Cancer Deathmask lol. He seemed to be having the most fun with everything!
simply FANTASTIC! 👏🏼👏🏼
Saint Seiya Annihilation 😅
Underrated comment! Indeed it is! 😂😂😂😂
LOL
i'm completely obsessed with your channel, i'm going through every single video right now. i don't really understand HOW you do it, but you do it like a queen!
They look like some bootleg figures I had when I was a child, especially with the wings.
Wow, how amazing!! You finally found it! Congrats again Ray ☺️
it`s disturbing how accurate some of the cloths are.
Muchísimas gracias Ray ❤️🙌🏻
For the love of god.... Shun was turned a woman before the Netflix series apparently
Omnikron, best character ever.
Ahh yes, Omnikron, cousin of Unicron
Discovering lost media is such an interesting hobbie that I love to see. I really love how you are dedicated to finding lost media like this Saint Seiya is one of my favourite anime’s period I wish we could find an English audience for this series and this anime hitting the UK/US someday like fist of the North Star did.
At the early 90's it was The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Era. Saint Seiya wouldn't had an opportunity for a live action TV show. But, there it is, the TV pilot itself! 1st time in my Life to witness! Thank you TH-cam!
This unaired pilot could have been awesome for a live-action TV show.
From the production company that brought you Power Rangers.
better than what netflix gave us anyways. if you're gonna fuck something up, you gotta fuck it good. this show would be a special kind of bad, the one we know and love
I can't believe someone think this piece of crap is anywhere near any word that can resemble a praise.
@@joaogrrrThere's also the Sony live action adaptation.
This series has too much '90s soul from beggining to end. In seven minutes did more than the LA movie. This Pegasus kicks ass
Hell, and I cannot emphasize this enough, yeah
I can't believe I'm watching this, someone needs to tweet this to Kurumada
I hope someone does and he sees it! I didnt know he uses twitter!
He already seen it with american executives in the 90s, though i'm not sure if was the entire tape or just the trailer.
This is a very good day. Two Lost Media TH-camrs (both from Canada) uploaded a lost media-related video at about the same time. The other one is Jett McPlane, a TH-camr who uploads videos discussing every and any obscure and/or lost puppet media that she can find. Highly recommend
Hooray, I’ve watched some Jet McPlane videos today. My brother will go wild from all that retro Power Rangers style cyberpunk!
THE VMP RAY MONA, DID IT AGAIN 🗣
Thank you so much for your great research and for bringing this to light ❤
I would love for someone to continue this as a fan film.
thanx! and cheers from Brazil!😄
And they the next scene is the beginning of the corn film? This has “the saint seiya xxx parody” vibe since “off-brand pegasus” woke up half naked…
Genuinely, thank you for unearthing this. This is high camp gold.
Grande RayMona! great job finding this tape!
I guess Bellatrix's day were indeed numberes, since this show was never made :D
Seriously, thank you for your work and for finding this hidden gem
On my country at least, there was a small buffer of time between the airing of the Saint Seiya anime and Power Rangers (and shows styled like it, like this one) if this show had existed and broadcasted during that time, it might have been received positively.
Anyways, this is an incredible find. Good job!
Once again my favorite media archaeologist has revealed a geek history treasure, you are amazing!!!!!!
“Pegasus” looks like a young John Cena 😂
Thank you very much for this research you did. Great job!!!👍
Gracias por esto!
I love how nobody throws a punch, they just shoot lasers at each other.
I wonder if it was done due to violence concerns.....or if the costumes they made couldn't take the wear and tear of hand to hand fight choreography
It was due to violence concerns. Many of the fights in Saint Seiya were hand-to-hand combats but they used some magic attacks when they're fighting enemies from a ranged distance.
Congrats for all. Your job was amazing. And this in part of television history. 😊
better than the 2023 movie ^^
what happened with youtube, video is only 240p for now. i'll wait a bit but you did a f***ing good job !
AMAZING!!...THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!!
I imagine how miserable this actors can felt doing this. Or how can they not break in laugh when seeing each other when shooting the scene.
@@mecetnoca i think they had fun😁
So weird . I discovered you channel this morning and while I was watching the Startorm stuff you posted this. That was crazy.
I think the executives are not convinced by a program of shirtless muscled men wearing plastic armor :u
Much better than the Knights of the Zodiac movie. At least the armors looks like the original.
You are amazing! Thank you very much!
This is actually really cool. I would have eaten it up in 1996 if it came out then.
OMG This is GOLD 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you so much for uncovering this
This... with a little more polishing might of just actually worked 🤔 (no, not as Saint Seiya, but it's own borrowed elements type of story). I would not miss an episode! 😅
Oh, you thought claw was evil? Get ready for:
Double Face! (Gemini - Saga)
Barracuda! (Picies - Aphrodite)
Icicle! (Aquarius - Camus)
And Slicer!!! (Capricorn - Shura)
THANK YOU RAY!!! You awesome researcher, you!
well only left the saint seiya live in theaters, they have 6 saints, one is original
hey, Ray! First of all thank you so much for your efforts to find this pilot!
I'm working on a brazilian portuguese subtitle for this pilot so my fellow brazilian Saint Seiya fans can watch it. Once I get the translation done, may I send the srt. file to your e-mail?
ahh thank you yes! that is very kind of you!
Ray! Please upload a version in the description without watermark, Thank you for your great contribution to the Saint Seiya community!
Thank you! I've always wanted to see this and it's just as cheesy as I hoped lol.
No puedo creerlo jjjj x dios, me gustó, están hermosos la mayoría de los actores y Atenea, hermosa también
Eres una eminencia Ray Mona, gracias
Thank you, Ray Mona 🙌
Thanks for the upload Ray Mona well done 👏
So we could've had a black Ikki? 😮 and ofc shun is made a girl and surprisingly not as pink 😅. It's interesting to think we could've gotten this.
OMG Thank yo so much! You really did it @RayMona it's awesome to finally watch the Saint Seiya american live action version : Starstorm
Thank you very much!!!
Thank you Ray 🫶🏻
This is cine
Thanks 🙏
My god... It's so BAD! 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for uploading another lost media. =)
If this was made into a series, it would be expensive
Ray, you r THE GOAT
Después de buscar a travez de decenas de páginas que roban contenido llegue al canal original Gracias Mona Ray.
Shun ......why?
This video is amazing bro
By the way, I come from androlysan, here I leave my super like
ese supuesto tatsumi que les narra todo me hace acordar a forest whitaker
Excelente
Excelente trabajo
Saludos desde México !!
This is same as gold!
Oh sweet Athena, what the 🤬 was I supposed see? Thank for your job 😁🙌🏽
🤩🤩🤩 Excelente material.
What was the need to change the names of the constellations and the knights of the zodiac... As far as I know, the names of the zodiac signs and the constellations are not copyrighted?
I’d guess at first because winged horses are perceived as girly, but the changes make far too little sense besides maybe Andromeda. Maybe they thought connecting a female character to a constellation based on a chained woman wasn’t exactly a great idea.
American Ikki’s probably because of a similar reason to Kintaurus, because birds in kids media aren’t typically associated with being cool like a dragon.
@@ByTheStormPhoenix was an Asian bird, this was something that Americans couldn't get it at that time. This is why Mythical Chi Beast Star Houou was changed into a Firebird Thunderzord.
@@Jiterdomer
Spare me that anti American garbage. You’re acting as if phoenixes are this foreign concept when they’re in Western cultures since Ancient Greece.
The name is literally from Greek myth. I just looked it up and there’s parallels in countless different cultures. Phoenixes are also called firebirds so it doesn’t exactly matter about the semantics. And there’s even a car named after a firebird.
It was already a stretch to smooth over transitioning since Saban didn’t want to pay for more footage. And given how the Ninjetti powers were treated, I feel like a bullet was dodged.
It’s not like they could really use the Dairanger suit footage due to the violence after how Zedd was apparently treated. And trying to replicate that with whatever word salad they wanted to call it wouldn’t really go over that well instead of just saying they’re an upgrade.
That wings... A lot of wings..
Still better cloths then the RECENT movie...
I just came here after some random comment on the newly released Dinorangers pilot (beta MMPR) that features footage from Bioman pilot (including its Sentai footage from Choudenshi Bioman) and Zyuranger.
You did it! You cray woman you DID IT!!!!!!
