About Arjuna

Here is what Arjuna (地球少女アルジュナ) is about, retold in plain terms: an adventure, drama and fantasy anime by Satelight (2001). In short: 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 has 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. It will appeal most to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. At 13 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
