I swear it hasn’t even been two seasons since the random dark fantasy show that was so close to being good and another has shown up that actually nailed it. And I really mean nailed it. Clevatess has a dark and gloomy world filled with intrigue, a gritty heroine struggling against the odds, brutal fast paced action (that’s actually well animated this time), and only some mostly forgivable partial nudity.
On the off chance you found this text-based review first, I’ll refer you to our podcast episode titled “The Beach Episode” and its follow-up for my poorly worded ramblings on why you should give this show a shot. Gotta put some cross promoting work in as a thinly veiled excuse for not going into detail here. You can learn all about how its plot is genuinely good and interesting and the animation and fights are fantastic. Or whatever I talked about.
I do seriously think its good though. If it were not for City coming out at the same time this would have been my show of the season. I have at least mild confidence that any dark fantasy or action fan will find it quite enjoyable. And that’s not me being stingy, I’m just not that confident of a person.
