  I've never seen a telling of the Old World Gods (the Olympians) from a Japanese viewpoint before this film, and I see similarities to known tales. Our story begins with a foul deed being done upon our young main character, Arion, and we were not told why as of yet, but hopefully soon.   The animation is just as I remember 80s & 90s Anime to be, eg. DragonBall w/Son Goku & A Wind Named Amnesia, it's just so raw and in your face, along with the fluidity of the character's motions and also the beast within our story. Hades is the true master of Lies and Deception in our story, as far as the title synopsis stated.   We'll see just what kind of Wicked Foul Elder God he really is, as our young Arion is no longer the child he stole anymore, and how long will his Deception carry out Arion in the story before he confronts our Villain Hades. Arion appears to be quite strong and a swift fighter, but possi has lacks actual combat with humans, I'm hoping this will change soon.   Our Arion is battling for his life now, and he's doing very well dealing with so many foe. A major battle is being set upon the original foes of young Arion, and they are a massive opponent to be sure by the size of their army. It would seem that there is no love Lost on these Elder Gods, and man, as usual, are the Puppets used to get what it is that THEY want or need. I will say this, though: I've never seen a Greek Tale such as this, and I'm loving it tremendously.       If anybody has read this far..   I've a question as a huge fan of Anime since the 80s, so you feel they muted the colors to add a more atmospheric presentation of the story? Or I am reading too much into the styling of the film?   **Any Anime fans should Watch** **Greek Mythology fans might enjoy        this imaginative telling as well**
