Lore & Background
Production for AstroLOLogy began in 2015. Creator Ken Foong targeted the series at ages 8–12 but intended it to appeal globally. He considered Blood Type characters and the Chinese Zodiac before settling on the Greek Zodiac because it was understood worldwide. A 2D version was tested, but the 3D version received better reception. Slapstick humor was added to make the show more comical.
The series focuses on the 12 zodiac signs from Greek mythology transformed into human-like characters. Each chapter contains 12 episodes focusing on one zodiac sign's key trait, with a message at the end revealing stereotypical characteristics. The show has been given a Japanese dub for J:COM and a Chinese dub for Tencent Video, and was acquired by Spanish-based Imira Entertainment for distribution ahead of MIPTV Media Market in 2018.
