The TMS Entertainment website ( image from there ) has indicated that the new series of Saint Seiya OVA will have 13 episodes of 30min.

It seems this might get more development then I originally thought when I saw the scan of Tenma in his god cloth.

anyway , here is the summary they provide :

When the painting overtakes the sky, the world will come to an end.
A Holy War, from ancient mythology, where the Goddess Athena and Hades have fought against each other while defending the earth repeatedly over the span of 200 years. The story takes place in 18th century Europe, 243 years prior to the original “Saint Seiya.” Three small children, Tenma, Alone, and Sasha have all shared a very happy childhood together. Tenma who is quite aggressive but upstanding has moved to Sanctuary to become a saint. It is there that he is reunited with Sasha who is the sister of Alone and leans that she is the reincarnation of Goddess Athena. Alone who is kind, gentle and loves painting was chosen for the body of enemy King Hades. Tenma eventually becomes a saint of Pegasus and engages in a fierce battle with his best friend Alone, the King of Hades. Pegasus Tenma, King Hades, and the Goddess Athena and through the twist of their 3 fates merge together which unfolds a prologue to the original “Saint Seiya.

I have to say that I’m slightly bothered by the “prologue to the original “Saint Seiya”” part  , but as I mentioned elsewhere , It hasn’t really been précised witch of Lost Canvas and Next Dimension is canon. But then again both could be linked together , somehow , making both canon. We can only speculate at that point , and see how it turns out.

props to -Kh- for mentioning that bit of news.

It’s going to be a 3 OVA story , so i expect them to cover the complete Tokyo Arc , which mean …KAMUI and SUBARU !!!! F’ckin’ YEAH!!!

Yes , even though I don’t like the Tsubasa anime , I am really looking forward to that part as we get to see most of the old gang from X and..the badass fight of Syaoran vs Syaoran should not be missed !

Only two month to go for the first DVD to come out !
