Saint Seiya (聖闘士 ( セイント ) 星 ( セイ ) 矢 ( ヤ ), Seinto Seiya), also known as Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac or simply Knights of the Zodiac, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masami Kurumada.It was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1986 to 1990, with the chapters collected into 28 tankōbon volumes by Shueisha. I know there are many series of that anime and I have been wanting to watch it for along time. I am just not sure what order to start with. What is the right order to watch Saint Seiya.

- Why should we pair the Saints with the Senshi, especially breaking up the two established pairings and turning gay Shun (aside for the infamous scene where he heated up Hyoga and performed a Cosmo-powered version of a common survival technique, he showed only hints of being heterosexual) and Mamoru (very definitely heterosexual)?
- While a Saint Seiya version of Selene may have existed, she's most likely dead, considering how, in recent times, the Gold Saints killed the major Titans (and for recent times I mean they finished off Kronos a few weeks Seiya arrived at the Sanctuary).
- Wakagi investigating the sudden and unexplained death of every single girl at a boarding school in the mountains of West Tokyo-and potentially stumbling in the culprit, Cancer Deathmask (the girls, actually Saintia (more or less, Athena's female combat handmaidens, distinct from female Saints such as Shaina and Marin) had been possessed by spirits loyal to Eris, and Deathmask was sent to deal with that)-encounter with Saintia Sho.
- Minako went to Greece once... And the area she fought Hibiscusy looks suspiciously like the ruins of the Old Sanctuary, just outside the current Sanctuary proper.
- Minako goes to watch the Galaxian Wars, becomes curious when she realizes those guys aren't some strange gimmick but have actual powers, and gets involved with Ikki stealing the Gold Cloth.
- Why did Docrates ran from the police? Because he knew they were coming with Sailor V.
- When Poseidon starts flooding the world, the Sailor Soldiers intervene.
- In Saint Seiya-Next Dimension, Saori decides the best way to save Seiya from the cursed wound inflicted by Hades is to go back in time to break said sword before it can would Seiya, and goes to Chronos, the Primordial God of Flowing Time (to not be confused with Kronus, the Titan of Harvest), for help. Sailor Pluto is stated to be Chronos' daughter, and has apparently taken over his duties.
- The obvious one, for better conflict: when Neo Queen Serenity is elected queen of the world, Athena's Sanctuary tries to assert its customary role as ruler in the shadows, role enforced by the Saints... Except Neo Queen Serenity and the Sailor Soldiers can actually overpower even the Gold Saints. Cue war.
Yeah, everything is possible in cross overs, but I don't think the themes of the two shows would allowed it.
Agreed. Having the Silver Millennium predate the Greek Gods and then use one or more of the contact points listed above would be better.
