Here’s how Crunchyroll describes the plot of Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya:

"Time is running out! Only five hours remain before the god-killer arrow lodged in Athena’s chest will kill the goddess. The powerful Grand Master is the only one who can save her life, but to even reach the Grand Master’s chambers, Seiya and his fellow Bronze Knights must ascend Sanctuary and pass through all Twelve Houses, each temple guarded by a Gold Knight. Not everyone will complete the journey and reach the summit of Sanctuary where a shocking surprise awaits."

Masami Kurumada’s Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya is the seventh ONA spin-off series revealed to be under production in December 2016 at the industry panel of Comic Con Experience Brazil. Toei Animation produced the anime in collaboration with Netflix. Yoshiharu Ashino directed the ONA's first and second seasons.

The first season of Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya was released in two parts, where the six episodes of the first half were released on July 19, 2019, on Netflix, and the rest were dropped on January 23, 2020. The first six episodes loosely adapted the Galaxian Wars arc and the Black Knights arc from the original manga of Masami Kurumada’s Saint Seiya.

The second season titled Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya - Battle for Sanctuary was licensed by Crunchyroll and was aired from July 31 to October 9, 2022.
