Status: Partially Found
The Gods of Olympus (Known as Les Dieux de l'Olympe in French) is a 1998 comedy-fantasy French animated series based on the graphic novels by Nadja. Produced by Rooster Studio, Vidéomage, Carrere Television, and animated by Animated Enterprises Hong Kong (Agogo Studios now), for Canal+. 26 episodes were produced with a runtime of 13 minutes.[1]
The show takes inspiration from Greek mythology but with a modern comedic twist, telling stories of the inhabitants of ancient Greece, their gods, and their demigods. The characters are distinctively stylized, with long dolphin-like noses. The series is well known for having certain characters particularly the females nude or drawn in a sexually suggestive manner.
Availability
It’s unknown if the original graphic novels were ever translated into English and localized outside of France, due to the constant nudity and sexual references in them.
The original French-language series is available to watch officially on Amazon Prime, and some episodes were uploaded to YouTube. An English dub was produced but there was no information or uploads on the web about it prior to this article's creation. Info on the show was on Teletoon's website back in 1999.
YouTube user MIXXPOST has been uploading episodes of the English dub, it is currently unknown how they came into their possession.
