Clevatess

Once a feared Lord of Dark Beasts, Clevatess watches his hold on power crumble when he brings back a hero he once killed and takes in an orphaned humanoid child, a mysterious last hope for a decaying world. The three form an uneasy household where old grudges, fresh loyalties, and the burden of a failing planet collide. The show follows how their relationships change under pressure, how each character copes with loss and responsibility, and how choices made for survival reshape what it means to be a protector or a monster. No major twists or the ending are revealed, only the evolving ties and stakes they face.

Created by Keigo Koyanagi and Yuji Iwahara, Clevatess premiered in 2025 as an animated series blending action and dark fantasy. The voice cast includes Haruka Shiraishi as Alicia, Mutsumi Tamura as Clen, and Yuichi Nakamura in the title role, supported by Saya Aizawa and Aoi Yuuki. The production mixes traditional anime sensibilities with high-energy fight choreography and detailed creature design.

As of its release, Clevatess hasn't collected major industry awards, though it has been noted in genre discussions and fan communities. Official recognition may come later in seasonal anime award cycles once more viewers and critics have weighed in.

The series has prompted conversation for mixing grim worldbuilding with tender character moments, and for its striking visual choices. Fans on social platforms have shared art and theories about the show's lore, and certain character dynamics have become focal points for discussion among animation and fantasy audiences.

Critics and early viewers have given generally positive marks, reflected in a 7.94 average from initial votes. Reviews highlight themes of redemption, found family, and the ethics of power, praising the show for taking moral complexity seriously while delivering tense action. It balances dramatic stakes with quieter scenes that let relationships develop, making it more than just spectacle.
