SHAMELESS ADVERTISEMENT! Took half the day to do (it's past midnight now)
Saint Seiya the Lost Canvas is really one of my favority series. Sad to say they didn't get a lot of popularity so they didn't make a third seasons (probably because they made them OVAs instead and it took longer to produce an episode...) but the manga is complete.
The original Saint Seiya from the 80s was really popular. This is a spinnoff/prequel (I'd consider the official prequel) of that series. Sure some of the characters look similiar but they're very different. Personally I find the plot direction and the characters far more interesting than the original and I could care less about all the other related series.
These two are a few of my favorites. On the left is Leo Regulus who I find very cute and fun. On the right is Pisces Albafica who is complicated but interesting (or maybe I'm just biased 'cause I'm a pisces)
Really a shame that hardly anyone here in America is familiar with the series. I recommend it!
