The series contains no dialogue and tells its stories through visuals. However, despite it originally being a web series, it has been given a Japanese dub to air on Kids Station (Japan) and J:COM with the name アストロロロジー ～おかしな12星座うらない～ (AstroLOLogy: Funny zodiac fortunes). It has also been given a Chinese dub to be acquired by Chinese streaming service Tencent Video.[2]
Although the show has no dialogue, it uses the voices of Lester Wong Tze Jiang (As Aries and Capricorn), Haishal Hailzil Hailmi (Aquarius), Hafeez Aziz (Leo and Libra), Santosh Lograndan (Taurus), Archana Shanmuganatham (Cancer) , Steven Bones (Gemini and Scorpio), Siti Nursabrina Saiful Bahri (Virgo) and Au Yoong Yuin Yii (Pisces and Sagittarius). The voices are used for interjections.
Production
Production for AstroLOLogy began in 2015, which was also the year Lemon Sky Studios was born. Ken Foong has stated that while he primarily targeted the series AstroLOLogy at ages 8-12, he intended the series to be enjoyed by and relatable to any age group. According to Foong, while coming up with an idea for the synopsis of the series, his goal was to create a series with a cast of characters that made up people’s identity.Some ideas that have been considered were Blood Type characters and the Chinese Zodiac, but he eventually stuck with the idea of the Greek Zodiac signs because that concept was understood and recognised worldwide.Slapstick humour was added to the show to make it more comical to viewers. A 2D version for AstroLOLogy was tested, but the reception for the 3D version was better.
Synopsis
The show features 12 characters based on the 12 Greek zodiac signs. Each character’s design and personality is loosely based on their zodiac sign in real life. Focusing on slapstick and situational humour, each chapter contains 12 episodes with each focusing on one zodiac character. Being a show with short skits about zodiac signs ending up in nonsensical situations, be it messed up relationships or work,a summarised characteristic about the starred character is shown as a message at the end, allowing viewers to learn about some stereotypical characteristics about the signs.
