In a far-flung time when Gods and Men walk the earth together, the child Arion plays in the rolling hills of Thrace. His mother Demeter is troubled by both a curse - blindness - and by the secret of Arion's birth. A mysterious stranger spirits Arion away, and seeks to shape the growing young man into an assassin, a secret weapon to tilt the balance of the war between Zeus and Poseidon. But Arion won't be manipulated easily, nor will he submit quietly to the hands of adversaries like the tenacious Ares, the intelligent and fierce Athena, or the elegant and scheming Apollo. Only his tremendous strength, a forgotten weapon forged by Prometheus, and the love and loyalty of his allies can carry Arion forward. To discover the secret of his destiny, Arion will have to storm Mount Olympus- and face down Zeus himself!

Where it came from
Neo Heroic Fantasia Arion was released in 1986 as an ambitious feature-length anime adaptation of Yoshikazu Yasuhiko’s manga series. Produced by Sunrise and directed by Yasuhiko himself, the film emerged during a period of high experimentation in the Japanese animation industry. It drew heavily from Greek mythology, reimagined through a lens of dark, sweeping fantasy to mirror the epic scope found in the original manga panels.
The film is particularly noted for the involvement of Joe Hisaishi, who composed the score, and the character designs crafted by Yasuhiko, whose background as a renowned animator for works like Mobile Suit Gundam influenced the film's distinct, expressive aesthetic. Upon release, the film was noted for its visual ambition, though it received mixed critical reception at the time for its condensed narrative pacing in comparison to the expansive source material.
