About Arjuna

Looking for background on Arjuna (地球少女アルジュナ)? This adventure, drama and fantasy series by Satelight (2001) starts out like this. The setup: Juna was just an average high-school girl, right up until the day she died in a motorcycle accident. But there, in the twilight of death, she saw the future of the barren earth destroyed by the Raaja, and was offered a second chance at life if she would stop them.

As things develop, now she needs to learn to cast aside her thoughtlessly destructive ways and face her destiny as the Avatar of Time, the one being who can decide the fate of the planet.

As an adventure title, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Voice work is led by Mami Higashiyama as Juna Ariyoshi and Yuuji Ueda as Chris Hawken. If you count yourself among anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling, put it on your list. With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Satelight, so the studio's house style defines how Arjuna looks and moves on screen. The adventure focus matters here: exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. With a 6.1/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Mami Higashiyama voicing Juna Ariyoshi gives the lead role a recognizable voice. It aired in 2001, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
