The anime series puts in plenty of minutes to explain the origin and the foolishness of his father Zeus to build the background.
From a technical perspective, this Netflix series has managed to maintain a benchmark in a difficult genre.īlood of Zeus follows the lead character Heron, who is embarking on a world which has the threat of demons, and to stop them, he must learn about his true origin and anticipate a war that involves greater beings.
There’s an opening shot in the finale that sets up the chapter purely by the artistry alone. It’s hardly unprecedented or innovative, but an effort has gone into the colors, and some shots are genuinely wonderful to look at. But it somehow manages to make the story feel fresh, and it fills it with an amount of anticipation that can only force the audience down one path - to binge it.īefore this review gets into the crux of the story, Blood of Zeus is wonderfully animated.
It’s easy to walk into this anime series and expect an unoriginal tale that involves Zeus’s son. Creators Charley and Vlas Parlapanides can give themselves a deserved pat on the back for Blood of Zeus. They’ve managed to create an impressive, alternative greek mythology story and present it to the prying eyes of the anime arena - a genre that expects quality.
