Due to the series' high popularity in Japan and in Spain, France, Italy, Latin America and China, six films based on Saint Seiya were released in theatres between 1987 and 2014. The plots of these films are not canon with the chronology and events of the manga or anime plots, except for Heaven Chapter – Overture.
These films were never released in the U.S until it was announced by Discotek Media in 2012 that they had acquired the rights to the first four movies in a two disc set. The DVDs contain the original Japanese audio track with English subtitles.[4]
