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.

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

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!

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

Netflix has presented a number of anime-inspired shows, and Blood of Zeus is the latest entry in this style. Being an anime fan, I was already drawn towards it, but as I watched it, I found myself entertained by the writing as well. It's one of the best action shows I've seen on Netflix, and every episode, I repeat, every episode is a masterpiece.

One thing that definitely left me impressed was the design for Zeus. It looked spectacular and oozed the proper anime feel. The story is pretty simple and straightforward, but its emotional investment in the characters and the frequent dose of stylish action sequences makes it only better as it unfolds. The action sequence that opens the series alone is a proof of that. It has the intrigue and urgency to continue watching till the end, and that's just another of its many positives. The voice acting is also what deserves a huge round of applause; it totally fits with the characters, and the soundtrack takes the show's epic nature to another level.

Blood of Zeus is a proof that foreign stories made in the anime style can sell if written and executed well. If you too like action and fantasy, give this series a watch and you might have a pretty good time watching this epic unfold.

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.

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.

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.

From the start, it has a very intriguing story line and it gets better and engaging as season progresses. Characters development is done right. Soundtrack is brilliant, action leaves no mercy and animation isn't too shabby (Castlevania style).

Binged the whole thing in a night, an anime well done.

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

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 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.

It's a good show. It's not a masterpiece but it will hook you up until the end.

I am a huge fan of mythology, especially the Greek pantheon. While the plot of the series is interesting enough there is a lot here that is very dull, slow paced and at times rushed. Most of the characters feel like they are heavily lacking in personality or real chemistry not to mention barely any development. Even the dialogue can come off as cheesy and underwhelming. If you enjoy this kind of animation and mythology you will probably like it because of the lore, but other than that there isn't really anything unique about this animation.

The series has tremendous animation, sound track and story and plot. Really enjoyed watching it and wanted more. If you haven't seen it yet make some time and enjoy!

Within the first 10 minutes of the show I knew the series will be great. The animation style is amazing, the characters all unique and stay true to the real life mythology counterparts, The battles are brutal. I can't think of anything but I didn't like in the show. It really makes you care for certain characters making it real down to earth! I cannot wait for next season

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.

I'm a huge fan of mythology and anime.this is the best of both worlds.definitely not for kids.I'm only on episode 4 and I'm hoping for season 2.

Its always interesting to see these adaptations of mythology, and it does not dissapoint. nothing that really blew my socks off of anything, but i was well entertained.

7/10: hey, thats pretty good

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.

This was a terrific new series by Netflix. Anime fans will appreciate the art style. Casual viewers will enjoy the story. Final battle was predictable including the cliff teaser ending but you will find little fault with this. If you have enjoyed Netflix's Castlevania anime series, you will definitely enjoy this.

The mythology is probably not perfectly accurate, but it doesn't matter because the story is amazing. Every time you think you can predict what's gonna happen next, things turn around. Absolutely recommend it if you like mythology and action.
