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

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.

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!

The best thing about this series was Hades ( and of course his queen persephone ) for me. The characterization of the main character was lame. I would prefer to see more of demeter. It's a good thing they didn't completely demonizing Demeter. She is the best mother in whole greek mythology. People had a problem with demonizing hades or demeter which none of this two deserved.

And I prefer instead of ares another god should harassing pers. Ares like hades and demeter didn't deserve being antagonist.

The story of H&P is a complicated religion story and people usually judged it easily and don't understand the contexts of it, so I'm happy we have a good show of them. ( even though they changed the details )

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!

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.

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

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.

I love Greek mythology. It's on par with ancient Egyptian gods for me and I've been a fan since childhood. Unless there are obvious signs of it being garbage, a film or TV series featuring anything to do with the Greek Pantheon and I'm there.

Honestly didn't have high hopes for this one. Not heard anything about it, and Netflix has a habit of putting out mediocrity to seemingly pad their catalog. Turns out this is pretty decent. The animation won't blow you away, but the style and attention in which these episodes are put together makes it very clear that the creators actually care about the story they're telling you. It's based on historic myths and legends that everyone is familiar with, plus a few interpretations of their own and very few (though significant) newly created fiction. After having finished the latest season, I feel like their balance of source material and original story is done very well.

That said, you'll get much more out of this being versed in who these deities are as opposed to someone that knows nothing about them whatsoever. I can't imagine the attitude and actions of some of these characters would hit nearly as hard for the uninitiated. While everyone can enjoy this show, you can almost say it was made for fans.

Looking forward to season 3.

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.

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

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.

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.

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..

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.

Absolutely love this series. The animation is on point and leaves you wanting more. The action is very tense in a good way. The announcement at the end of the last episode has me praying for a 3rd season. I will boycott if there isn't a season 3. The characters are really engaging. The story line is great because with each character you find yourself being able to relate. From the sad, love, and forgiveness. We all can relate. So it will suck you into that character till you see what they do to be evil and vengeful. So at that point you are like you suck for doing that. It is absolutely a must watch for something that is totally different.

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

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.

As stated in the title, I felt like some characters definitely need more development. The pacing felt uneven sometimes, with some unclear character motivation. Those are the main flaws.

The animation is beautiful, and the score is amazing. The story, while incoherent at times, are in no shortage of epic moments. The main character - Heron, is a bit too generic and felt overshadowed by the supporting casts at times. The Greek Gods, while details might be different than their mythological counterparts, are still basically true to their main characteristics. Overall, the story is full of potential for seasons ahead, and I personally cannot wait what they will do with the story in the next seasons.

The best animated series I've ever watched, I was completely hooked. The action scenes with the gods were phenomenal and Zeus and Hera were done perfectly.
