This season of Clevatess has been a good season although the concept of the anime is a bit cliche. Last season was epic as a dark fantasy had that dungeons and dragons epic quests and battles. This one, they turn into a school arc. However the theme might be cliche but the action and the fighting is not.
Let's be honest, the first season had a whole mythical beast that could control the faith of the whole humanity. It destroyed the kingdom like if it was nothing and also threatens to kill the whole humanity if it wasn't stopped by some dark magic which also tried to do nasty things. So I guess the whole school setting thing diminish the impact on these dark world but still, have a dark fantasy theme and still feels threatening.
The show has been consistent and delivering really horrific scenarios for anime standards of course. It has been dark and also a theme similar to a dead metal type of drawing. The skulls and dark world all looks actually quite good and the way that the story goes is actually quite interesting, is not simple at all and have turn more complicated as it goes along.
Things that I have loved, has been the alliances at school and how much of the whole story gets unravel. The fighting is also quite good. The show also let's you know about how some of these students aren't really human and others have incredible power that might not suit a 'student' in a traditional sense. It also show other threats and forces that try to emerge into this reality like the King Beast of the North, Vordein, and how a big fight is going to happen between all these powerful magical beasts.
If you haven't watch this season of Clevatess I suggest you jump on it. If you haven't watch the first season, try to watch that first as right now seems to be the best one from the 2. But this one is not that bad and I think it is also better than most of other shows out there.
Which anime have you watched recently that is a dark fantasy? Would you like to see more of these reviews?
