SAINT SEIYA 2017 SERIES
When it comes to animation, it shows that the the series was made in the 1980's.

I do have to warn you, though, since there is quite an amount of death and blood throughout these fights. As the series progresses, the saints also acquire more power, which makes the fights all the more interesting. At first the matches are part of a game, but later on they develop into life and death situations. Regarding action, there is plenty of fighting from beginning to end. The bond that ties the saints with Athena is mere responsibility at first, but extends itself to friendship and love. The themes of friendship, loyalty and endurance are some of the most explored throughout this anime. With each fight they seem to acquire more knowledge and powers that help them mature from teenagers to men. While that may sound quite simple (and it is very much straight forward), the characters undergo a thorough process of development. The use of Greek mythology is vastly employed throughout the story as other gods such as Poseidon and characters such as Medusa make appearances. The story follows the following paradigm: Athena, with the help of the zodiac saints, protects the Earth from the other gods whose wishes are only to do away with humanity. If you followed it while they aired it or if you are just curious, I encourage you Saint Seiya had a brief run on Cartoon Network, but due to its violent content, it was moved to a very poor time and gradually lost any attention it received. While I admit this series is not as good as I remembered it, I belive it is still worth watching.

Being that I might've had a bias towards this anime, I decided to watch it again not very long ago. Saint Seiya was one of the very first anime series I watched as a young kid.
