With the episode count now set for Saint Seiya: Soul of Gold, Bandai Visual has confirmed it with the announcement of the home video release schedule in Japan for the series. The show is getting a six volume release that begins on July 24th, 2015. Both formats are listed as limited editions with the Blu-ray’s priced at 6,000 yen and the DVDs at 6,000 yen as well. Check out the dates and what we know of the extras below.
The series is directed by Takeshi Furuta based on scripts by Toshimitsu Takeuchi and character designs by Hideyuki Motohashi. The cast includes Hideyuki Tanaka as Leo Aioria, Yuusaku Yara as Sagittarius Aioros, Takumi Yamazaki as Aries Mu, Toshihiko Seki as Scorpio Milo, Tesshô Genda as Taurus Aldebaran, Nobutoshi Canna as Aquarius Camus, Yuji Mitsuya as Virgo Shaka, Takeshi Kusao as Capricorn Shura, Ryouichi Tanaka as Cancer Deathmask, Keiichi Nanba as Pisces Aphrodite, Kenyuu Horiuchi as Libra Dohko and Ryotaro Okiayu as Gemini Saga.
The original work from Masami Kurumada ran in the late 80′s and there was renewed interest after the 2012 series Saint Seiya Omega made its way out and ran for two years. With a new 3DCG film last year as well, there’s still plenty of interest, particularly outside of Japan in South America and parts of Europe.
Plot concept: The 12 Gold Saints gave their lives to destroy the Wailing Wall to break the way for Seiya and the Saints in their battle against Hades in the Underworld!
Though presumed dead, Aiolia and the other Gold Saints return to the beautiful earthly world of radiating luminescence!
Why have these lost souls been brought back to life?
Shrouded in this deep mystery, Aiolia becomes embroiled in a duel.
When he burns his Cosmo to its limit…the Cloth of Leo transforms!
In 2015, the Golden Cosmo is finally revived!
