Recently and, apparently, in a completely fortuitous way, we have returned to talk about the
American version of the Knights of the Zodiac. It is a project for an animation series that aimed to revise the original story and graphic style in a so-called "Americanized" version. The final result, however, turned out to be disappointing to the point that Guardians of the Cosmos , the title of the American adaptation, was soon abandoned.
However, a Twitter user accidentally came across the video of original theme song of Guardians of the Cosmos and decided to re-share it, not without the explicit request to disseminate these very rare and certainly bizarre images.
The lost videos of the American version of the Knights of the Zodiac resurface< /h2> Ray Mona, writer, producer and actress, was looking for the lost live action film of Saint Seya (original title of the Knights of the Zodiac ), when, suddenly, she found herself facing something completely unexpected pettato: the opening theme of Guardians of the Cosmos , an American version of the Knights of the Zodiac dating back to the 90s.
Below you can find the original tweet by Ray Mona which includes the opening of the unlikely Guardians of the Cosmos :
When searching for the lost live action Saint Seiya I found something absolutely bizarre….? The Secret Stories of Saint Seiya is now LIVE!
⭐️PLEASE LIKE AND RETWEET TO SPREAD THE WORD!! ⭐️

After a request to release the video to make it known, Ray Mona says he will also show a documentary. It is an extended video lasting almost an hour and a half made by Ray Mona herself in which we talk about the projects related to the Knights of the Zodiac franchise which, however, have never seen the light. Among these, in addition to the aforementioned Guardians of the Cosmos animation series, there is also the live action series SoulStorm . His style deliberately recalls closely that of the Power Rangers, a choice that was made precisely to ride the wave of success.
Below you will find the extended video documentary; but if you want to get straight to the point, the SoulStorm part starts at 37:59, while the Guardians of the Cosmos part starts at 1:29:12 .
