Nah because I remember seeing young Hades in the teaser before blood of Zeus season two came out and my first thought was

Is that Jesus?

(I hope this didn't offend anyone)

Ok, so the trailer for Blood of Zeus season 2 came out the other day, and I kinda just wanna write out my thoughts and possible predictions/ideas about what might happen. Warning, it's a mess.

So the first thing I noticed was a lack of Hermes and a strong focus on Hades. Makes wonder what's in store for the messenger God since Hermes can travel to the Underworld. Maybe he's either gonna help Heron and maybe Seraphim since Hermes is a psychopomp. I remember a lot of people complaining about Heron in season one saying they didn't like him, or he didn't feel like a protagonist. Personally, I don't have any strong opinions about Heron, so I can't really say anything, but it looks like he's taking a bit of a back seat, maybe? Like he's going to be tied to saving his brother and not whatever is about to happen on Olympus.

There's also this idea I've had rattling around about Hermes possibly discovering what's going on and being trapped in the underworld so Olympus won't know about Hades until it's too late. Or even Hermes sympathising with Hades and Persephone and being some sort of ally, but I can't really see him betraying Olympus.

I don't think Hades is going to a villain necessarily. Most likely this season's antagonist, but I won't say a villain. Kinda looks like Persephone is pulling the strings/came up with the idea. I'd really like to see more of the Gods that reside/are tied to the Underworld, like Thanatos or Hecate. I think they're hinting at a possible divide between the Olympians and the Gods of the Underworld, sorta like a class divide.

And finally, there's the whole bit about an heir to Zeus' throne. I think the main contenders would be Apollo or Ares since we had the conflict between them in season 1, and this would carry on from that.

My thoughts on second season of Blood of Zeus

Before anything, keep in mind that this is all my thoughts and opinions so you have every right to disagree with me and how I interpreted things. I am also speaking from memory because i wantched the season a while ago, but opinions still stand! Also spoiler warning!

Starting, I have to say that the first season of Blood of Zeus is a masterpiece in my opinion. I absolutely loved it when I first watched it and I loved it just as much when I was rewatching it to watch season two. The story goes naturally, the characters are amazing and artstyle is literally breathtaking! I cannot remember what got me into it, but it was probably the unique artstyle of the anime. 

All I’m trying to say is watching the first season was a pleasure for me and I couldn’t wait for the second one.

Now about the second season…

Artstyle

Starting with what was a big disappointment for me was the change of the artstyle. The first season’s artstyle is gorgeous, maybe even serious, if we look at the themes of the anime. And the second one for me feels like it was simplified, I would even say that it kinda feels like it looks more like a generic anime artstyle, which is personally not my favorite. Here’s a little comparison of the two art styles

On the left we have season one and on the right is season two. Big downgrade if you ask me. Also you can see that we lack details in the second season. Like on the Apollo’s neck thingy or the fact that Alexia’s eyes no longer have two colors.

The quality might not be the best but you can definitely see the difference. 

Another thing I’ve noticed was the lack of consistency at times. Like at times the artstyle was changing.

And the animation also felt a little... clunky? It just felt smoother for me in the first season.

No hate to the artist and animators, obviosly. The put a lot of the work in the second season, even if I dislike it.

And these bots(?) that we in 2d in first season one are now 3d and it really sticks out

Plot

For the first few episodes, I felt like it was a whole lot going on before the plot was going naturally. I felt bombed with all of the informations we got. But besides that, it felt a little like everything that was happens wasn't actually planned(?). Some things just felt unnatural.

Example - we start with shadows trying to steal the stone from the Zeus' chamber. And if I remember correctly, there was nothing mentioned about it in the first season which already made me feel pretty weird watching it. Like it was happening so we could have an actual plot for the second season.

Then we had backstory of Seraphim where he fell in love, once again, I don't remember anything mentioned or hinted about in the first season. Of course, I am sure there could have been something going on besides his revenge arc, to call it that. But I still wish we got a hint, anything so it would feel natural. But not to be so negative, by the end I was hoping for the happy ending for the two and I really got into it.

Another thing that I was sceptical about at first, but then loved it was the relationship between Hades and Persephone. I canoot recall why I wasn't the fan of it at first (maybe the plot clutch got me overwhelmed), but even though I was and I am still rooting for Gods and Goddesses of Olympus to win, I felt sympathetic towards the two. Especially after seeing the scene of Persephone leaving to Olympus and seeing her and Hades' kids cry because they didn't want her to leave.

About parrings, this can be on me, but I felt like there was something going on between Alexia and Heron in the first season and there was no trace of it in the second one. That can be me and my interpretation, but I really felt like whatever was between them before was missing and I was very displeased by that.

And Evios just left. Literally just left the season. I don't understand. Is he going to come back in the third season or did they just got rid of the character in such a stupid way???

Also the plot with Hades being the one to tell Seraphim to eat the giant remians just felt out of place foe me. Maybe that's just me. And that were sold by Kofi and Evios just felt a little weird to me too. Like it was too much going on.

Characters

Heron - while I was absolutely rooting for him in the first season, I'm sorry but he felt kinda annoying to me in the second one. He felt constantly grumpy and even if I can't blame him since there was a lot going on in the second season so perhaps he was overwhelmed. Still, I was not a fan of it.

Seraphim - I was actually rooting for him, LIKE A LOT. I really enjoyed his story, I was hoping him and Gorgo (his love interest) would have a happy ending and since we will have third season, I am still hoping for the best for them. Besides that, I enjoed his lore more than Heron's. Also him spitting while trial, I WAS FUCKING GAGGED

Ares - Not much to say about him, besides the fact that I hated the scene of him trying to undress Persephone. And rewatching that scene, someone commented that in mythology Ares respected women (not sure if it's true, pls correct me if it's not) and it made me hate the whole thing more.

Apollo - I was hoping for more of him. Honestly I thought he was going to get the Zeus' ring, because at least to me, he seemed like the wisest one to me, but obviosly plot and stuff had to go with Heron. I don't hate it, but I felt like Apollo would be better than Heron, especially remembering how grumpy Heron seemed.

Hades - I think I've already said enough, but let me say it again, I like him.

Conclusion

At first I really disliked it, but then I got really into it and I am waitimg for the third season. Comaparing the first and second season, first one is definately my favorite. And I hope that the last season will bring back the quality of the first season

Can I request headcanons of Hades, Ares, Dionysus, Hermes and Apollo (Blood of Zeus) falling in love with mortal fem s/o who is gentle, kind, soft spoken and lonely; she can sing, dance, tame wild animals, loves nature and plays with her magical lyre please?

Of course!! I need to get focused for S2 soon 😄

Masterlist 10

Hades

He’s a lonesome soul who is not used to such a lovely presence, with the exception of Persephone, so he welcomes your visits whenever you come

Ares

He treasures your presence and attention given that it reminds him of Aphrodite, and you make him feel like the protective warrior he is

Dionysus

You fit along perfectly with the god of wine, dancing to the song you crafted from your lyre during the lavish festivities he throws together

Hermes

Such a sweetheart who adores the finer things in immortal life (aka YOU) and despite his speedy nature, the quieter and slower moments spent with you and the arts are more treasurable

Apollo

Truly a match made in the Olympian heavens with you!

He always supports your endeavors, sneaking off to see you whenever he can, and always spares a dance and song for you as long as you indulge him as well
