Blood of Zeus

[Agent Z]

Cause you know those crazy mortal women who apparently don't think that there's anything wrong with having sex with a swan or tree or something crazy like that...

I'm guessing Zeus being a mind controller has something to do with it.

[LoganAlpha30X33]

But if he could control their minds then he would have had no reason to appear to them in the form of a swan or tree or whatever...

Greek mythology is supposed to be weird. Mythology in general is pretty weird. Blood of Zeus doesn't really go overboard with it but there's one moment I thought was extremely appropriate.

[Midvillian1322]

To be fair being the son of Zeus isn't unique to to Hercules (in this case, Heracles). The same goes for Perseus and some other ones. It's kinda Zeus's thing to father children with mortal women.

Zeus tricks wife of a king. Then she becomes pregnant with twins one zeuses and one not. That's Hercules thing. Now everything after that's different.

My favorite example:

Zeus: Oh WOW I have a HORRIBLE headache. Here, take this axe and split my head open.
Hephaestus*: Seems legit, ok.
Athena: *leaping out from the wound fully grown and armored* Hey, pops.

* = it was, IMO, most likely Hephaestus but some stories make the axe wielder anyone from Prometheus to Ares.

Anyway, yeah I'm gonna check this out. Sounds interesting.

This isn't even the weirdest. You've got Aphrodite being born from the foam that arose in water when Cronos castrated his father Uranus and through his genitals into the sea.

Or the crazy **** Hermes did..... As a baby.

Or the story behind Hephaestus's "son" Erichthonius of Athens.

spoilers:

I Love how they made Electra's husband an abuser so there wouldn't be any discomfort about Zeus committing rape by deception via impersonating him.

Didn't that one happen because Zeus ate Athena's mother while she was pregnant with her?

Yep.

While, "interesting", series just wasn't for me.

[Agent Z]

We're getting a second season.

There's another "anime" which I think is American----but it've very, very good, "Blue Eyed Samurai". about the dispised daughter of a Dutch merchant/warlord introducint superior cannon to Japan. The protagonist is amazing, as is her sidekick. And yes, I mentioned she's female. And she gets beaten up, barely survives, and learns from every encounter to win the next one. She even loses and needs to be rescued. It's an amazing back and forth revenge story with twists I didn't see coming. It Americans start making "anime" this good....go for it! Whether supernatural or less to. I love those gorgeously animated anime, whoever makes them.

9/10 for me.
