The 2000 fantasy series Ceres, Celestial Legend is now available on Crunchyroll with both English dub and subtitles. The 24-episode anime, animated by Studio Pierrot, adapts Yuu Watase's manga of the same name and follows Aya Mikage, a high schooler who discovers she is the reincarnation of a celestial maiden.
Aya's discovery coincides with her 16th birthday, when she and her twin brother are targeted by their own family due to her immense celestial power. The series delves into darker themes of reincarnation, possession, and familial betrayal, blending supernatural elements with shoujo romance and psychological drama.
While its MAL score sits at a respectable 7.17, Ceres, Celestial Legend is notable for its ambitious narrative and its exploration of mythology through a modern lens. The complete series offers a contained story for viewers seeking a completed fantasy narrative from the early 2000s.
