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 premise: Juna was just an everyday 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.

Along the way, 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.

In an adventure series like this, 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. At 13 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
