Really enjoyable and a great story. I started watching just to give it a try and ended up watching the 2 seasons in a short period. I liked the development of characters and how the story evolves in each episode.

It worth the time and the hype. Provides a different perspective of the mythology as a I never have seen it before. The episodes are relatively short they last between 28-35 mins each, so I could be watched in a weekend

If you just want to watch a fun, different and enjoyable anime this is the right one. I don't have high standards my last anime was ATLA and is the best TV show for me that have ever existed.

Animation is decent, as well as the story. It's not a masterpiece but its quite entertaining still.

If you're not a super critic like everyone else on here and watch anime for the enjoyment then you will enjoy this. It's fun, exciting, and has some pretty awesome characters.The animation isn't bad and the storyline gets you involved, it is by no means a masterpiece but who cares it's a netflix anime. enjoy it.

As a Greek, I have to say that it is the best anime series I have seen in my life with Greek mythology, especially the second season is amazing, every episode held me like nothing and I didn't understand when it ended, I hope the third season when it comes out will be just as good, I really enjoyed it a lot. The words that touch your soul and make us think of each one of us individually are a very good touch, wonderful messages in each episode, well we are also talking about Greek mythology that you cannot compare with anything else in the world, all the world got something from this mythology and made their own or made religions, anyway congratulations to the creators.

The series starts off slowly but somehow manages to hook you up and makes you feel wanting to know what happens next. I'll call this series a success just by this cause not a lot of shows or movies can hook you up from the very beginning.The series eventually gains it's pace and starts getting better and the final episode is a BLAST!The best part about this show I'd say is there's no unnecessary cliché moments in this,the story is always on point and is short.That's what makes Blood of Zeus a perfect binge watch.

P.S. as the title says it's not really mythologically accurate.The main protagonist Heron and his counterpart Seraphim and some other characters are made up.Its a different take on Greek mythology and Netflix actually admits it in the very beginning of its first episode.So,bottom line is if you ignore accuracy a little you are bound to love it!

I hope it will continue Might be a little longer It was nice to watching It wasn't waste of time

If you like any type of mythology this needs to be your choice. One of the best animated series that i have watch. Incredible animations ,story and even the dialogues are amazing. It isn't the typical animated series because it contains a lot of violence so if yo don't like blood, war and some other sensitive things this isn't for you. The story is very original because doesn't take other previous ( Like Heracles or Perseus) stories to make the principal story, it obvious appears gods, titans and creatures that complement the trama. I really enjoyed watching this series and i hope you can enjoy too.

As a fan of Castlvania I was eagerly anticipating this show since it was revealed but it seems like a side project to the animation studio where all the main money goes to Castlevania.

Let me get my gripes out of the way first. The animation is more frame-y than the aforementioned show, the voice acting is a bit rough and almost out of place at times, and the story isn't one that's necessarily breaking any boundaries. What it DOES do well is of course the blood/gore that we've known to love from the studio, and there's lots of it. It also has character, and the setting itself is enough for most people to watch. Who doesn't like Greek Gods messing with mortals?

Is it a masterpiece? No. I would put it a step below Castlvania's caliber but it's well worth a watch if you're an anime or Greek mythology fan.

I am such a huge fan! The reasons I have such love for the show besides the obvious is finally we have a universe dedicated to the Greek gods done right! From true power showcases to beautiful scenes this show gets better and better.

Why we need more? There's so many gods we only have started to see if we get more seasons we can finally get epic scenes from amazing gods done correctly! My personal favourites are hestia from season 2!

Overall this series is a 10/10 perfect fighting sequences characters with such good style! And good world building this is a universe you will want to get in on!

The drama is juicy between the gods and mortals in Netflix's Blood of Zeus. Zeus shines as a fallible god, and the anime-inspired action is bloody and gruesome. The pacing can be a bit slow, but it picks up once it focuses on the gods. It may be not a great one, but it will keep you engaged till the end.

My Rating : 3.5/5

I have been waiting for an amazing Greek mythology adaption for years and years. At long last this show had finally arrived. I enjoyed both seasons and can't wait for the third to be released. The characters and the plot twists are fantastic and well thought out. The animation is gorgeous and the vibrant colors really bring the fighting scenes to life. I'm excited to see the characters grow and develop over the next few seasons. I also just wanted to give kudos for the Greek producers who are making their people proud by representing their heritage through this show! Do yourselves a favor and watch this series because everything about it was adored by a Greek mythology nerd like myself.

Graphics are great but the script and plot lack in some areas, especially with Hera. It's definitely an entertaining and at times captivating anime with room for improvement. I just love Greek mythology and think this anime brings it to life well.

The animation seems to be both a big problem for some reviewers and a favorite part of others and I think that has a lot to do with fantastic and beautiful backgrounds contrasted with animation that feels unpolished/rushed at times. So someone watching this show passively while doing something else would glance up occasionally and see the beautiful backgrounds with a powerful score and think that it was epic, while someone actively giving it their attention would notice the flaws in the animation and see the score as not always fitting to the less than epic scenes being presented.

The story, like the animation, also felt rushed, but at the same time felt overly inflated with nothing (like long scenes of people walking) like it was rushing from story point to story point but lingering at each point for usually no real substantial reason. The characters themselves felt underdeveloped, which made most of their relationships feel very shallow, forced and seemingly out of nowhere (this mostly applies to the nongod characters as Zeus and Hera's relationship was the only one that felt fleshed out in any way). I think total there are, arguably, 4 main characters and 4+ supporting characters which seems like way too many to develop properly in 8 30minute episodes filled with a lot that didn't seem to develop anyone.

Overall, it was a story that suffered because of how it was broken up and divided between what felt like pointless characters because of lack of development. I think this story could have been told better if it had been cut down into a 2h movie length, a two part "limited series" or given more time per episode to develop fewer characters in a way that moves the story forward at the same time.

This show takes a lot of liberties- yes- but season 1? So so fun. The animation, the superb attention to detail is just phenomenal. Especially, especially- loved season 1!!!

Season 2... okay, things got a bit weird. I still appreciated a lot of the plots, and yes, I watched it when it first came out so it's been a while. But I do remember that: the pacing was a bit odd.

Season 3: a lot! Wow. A lot is happening. And I wish it had been longer or that we'd gotten a fourth season...

I enjoyed this show! Yes, at times, the pacing felt odd. I'm so over Netflix giving us 8 episodes for HUGE stories like this and either; cancelling it, or not giving the writers enough time to expand on it as beautifully as possible. I felt that it was the latter case for this show.

But! All of that criticism: don't let it deter you. It was a really fun watch. I think the creators are the same from Castlevania? If you like tradition, and retelling of myths, maybe don't watch this? But if you love watching shows which were clearly made with so much attention, plot twists, and just are... really, really reallyyyy cool... watch this.

Thanks!

Good approach with different story of the greek gods. Similar to castlevania style.

Got me hooked after the first episode. A typical Netflix series - twists kept me hooked but the overall plot had too many gaping holes to make it truly entertaining. There are definitely better animation movies/series out there deserving your attention.

Blood of Zeus Season 3 delivers an epic and deeply satisfying conclusion to one of the best animated shows in recent years. As someone who cherishes Greek mythology, I was genuinely impressed by how respectfully and authentically the series handles its source material. It doesn't stray with unnecessary twists or modern agendas - instead, it celebrates the ancient myths with a refreshing level of sincerity and intensity.

The animation is absolutely stunning, especially in the action sequences, and the musical score perfectly enhances the atmosphere of every scene. I especially loved the way each episode had a different intro logo - a small touch that added to the uniqueness and artistic value of the show.

Voice acting was top-notch across the board. Every character felt alive and emotionally grounded. You could truly feel the passion behind the performances, especially during the more dramatic and tragic moments.

Some of the side stories did take a bit longer than I would have preferred, but the depth they added to the world and characters made it worthwhile. In the end, the payoff was huge, and I gladly forgive the slower parts for the sake of such a strong and emotional finale.

This series deserves much more recognition. Blood of Zeus is a powerful blend of mythology, artistry, and storytelling. A must-watch for fans of ancient epics and animated excellence.

Blood of Zeus, like so many modern adaptations of Greek Mythology, is a disappointment. Characters are two dimentional and shallow, story is boring and way too stereotypical. You won't find anything groundbreaking or satisfying about Blood of Zeus, especially if you are familiar with the mythology.

The main character is a bit of a Gary stu but the portrayal of the Olympian gods and the twists/additions to the mythology are refreshing. Highly recommend to those who enjoy Greek mythology

Animation is good. Story is not intriguing at all. Creators doesn't put much effort in writing dialogues for a Mythological story, hence dialogues are flat. Don't watch if you are Japanese anime lover, it will surely ruin your mood. Other can try watching it, nothing special though. High rating only suggests that this is not rated by frequent anime viewers.

I watched this in a couple days had a blast, will definitely be returning for season 2 of which I have high hopes for the same quality. I also really like the animation style.

I was really excited to watch this when I heard it was animated by the same studio that animated Castlevania and I recently finished playing an awesome game called Hades that's all about Greek mythology as well so this was right up my alley.

It was a decent watch but you'd have to really love Greek mythology to give it anything above a 7. The animation was the biggest let down given how amazing Castelvania looked. I'm not sure what changed at the studio with this project but the action scenes were choppy with a few too many cuts to hide poor animation. It's not terrible by any means and there are some really cool moments it's just hard not to compare it to the earlier work the studio did that I was so impressed with.

On the positive side the dark atmosphere is very fitting for Greek mythology and once the gods become more involved in the story it gets pretty interesting if not a little cliche. But, It is Greek Mythology so that's expected. I'd say it's worth watching but nowhere near as amazing as some people are making it out to be.

It's not the worst thing on Netflix, but it looks and feels very obviously low budget. I saw reviews say this was the best animation on netflix?? Hello? Avatar? The dragon prince? A million other things? The style is cool, but the animation looks more like a flipbook towards the end of the season (did they run out of money?). There's not enough dialogue and voice-acting is just okay. The animation isn't good enough to watch it attentively and the dialogue is lacking so you completely miss out on the story if you missed the key frames. I can't comment on the story too much, because it didn't hold my attention. Lots of pointless conflict and lack of adequate communication between characters.

It's not perfect, but what really is.

Animation is good enough.

Art is quite good.

Plot is great.

The story and mythology are good, though the mythology is not traditional. (Which makes it better for me).

Lots of cool characters from gods, demigods, monsters, titans, giants.

Cool places like Olympus and the under world.

All the characters and places, designs are well done.

Blood of Zeus is purely for adults, so if your favorite anime's are One piece, Avatar the last air bender, Naruto or something along the likes of these, it may not fit as well with you.

There is no funny bubbly stuff or annoying characters.

It will sit better, if your favorite anime's are Ninja scroll, vampire hunter D, castelvania, ghost in the shell, and anime like these,

It's certainly entertaining.

As per review available online this series has total 5 seasons and these 2 has really kept me on the seat to watch these 2 seasons. Regardless of the adult theme, the producers have kept it clean and entertaining. Frankly, last episode of the season 2 is gripping and I hope to watch season 3 this year. 9 rating for this flick will be the first for me. I will advise to watch this Flix further than episode 1 as those episodes are always not easy to digest and never tend to explain the whole show. Never expected that Netflix can produce such a clean and good series for it's viewers a good story..
