In the 90s, there was an attempt at an American live-action series based on the popular manga Saint Seiya, titled StarStorm. The long-lost pilot episode of StarStorm has recently been rediscovered and uploaded online, much to the delight of fans of the franchise.
Renaissance Atlantic, the same production company behind the Power Rangers, was responsible for creating StarStorm. The pilot episode has a nostalgic 90s feel to it and offers a unique take on the Saint Seiya story. Despite the similarities to the Power Rangers, StarStorm never advanced beyond the pilot stage, making this discovery a rare opportunity for fans to see this lost piece of Saint Seiya history.
The original Saint Seiya manga by Masami Kurumada follows the story of Athena, the goddess of battle, and her group of loyal Knights who protect her. The manga is set in modern-day Greece and follows the journey of Seiya, a young warrior who must train hard to compete for the powerful Pegasus Cloth.
The rediscovery of the StarStorm pilot episode sheds new light on the American adaptation of Saint Seiya and provides fans with a unique glimpse into the world of this beloved manga series. This find adds to the growing collection of lost pilots and adaptations that have been uncovered in recent years, thanks to dedicated fans and researchers like Ray Mona.
