Adolescence of Utena and Saint Seiya Overture share more than a few things, On the surface the closest similarity is the lush and magnificent visuals that will take your breath away. What Utena does with roses, Saint Seiya does here with water. Symbolism and ties to blood shown through roses in Utena are expressed in Saint Seiya with water. The unusual angles from which scenes are shot are another similarity. The non-linear storytelling style is similar in both and works as effectively both ways.

Arion and Saint Seiya are both wonderful adventurous animes based on the Greco-Roman mythology, with similar animation. I'm glad I found Arion in this website as it is really rare, definitely not a masterpiece, but very entertaining.
