Saint Seiya. A classic anime by anyone’s standards, and those who know it remember it very fondly. It was also known for a completely awesome opening too.

This was the anime that was introduced to a lot of countries abroad. All except America for some reason. When America finally got to show it though, they changed the name to a more US friendly “Knights of the Zodiac”. Ok, that’s all fine and good. But then they too also used a very catchy theme song. It just wasn’t nearly as awesome.

    I like the song for the American one, but it didn't match the opening at all. So overall I like the Japanese one better

    Lawl. Using a cover by Bowling for Soup as an opening is surprising. XD

    Not to mention the song was done by Bowling for Soup.. a legit band that had a bit of fame a few years back.. kind of an oddity for North America, using a real recording artists song for your intro.
