Zodiac anime shows often blend both Western and Eastern astrology in fascinating ways, but they tend to lean more heavily into Eastern traditions. Take 'Fruits Basket' as an example—it uses the Chinese zodiac (Eastern) as its core framework, but the character personalities sometimes echo Western astrology tropes, like the fiery Aries or the stubborn Taurus vibe. It's a cool cultural mashup!
That said, some anime like 'Saint Seiya' dabble in Greek mythology, which ties loosely to Western astrology. But even then, the storytelling and symbolism feel distinctly Eastern. I love how anime creators remix these systems to fit their narratives—it makes the zodiac feel fresh and unique, whether you're into horoscopes or just here for the drama.
