eheheeheheheheheheheheheheh i just binged all of the Leviathan adaptation and i--
[the whispers of discourse buffet my hair]
what was that
anyway
guys i fear this show was made for me specifically
who read the first two books a decade ago, who never got around to the third, who fucking LIVED for the ghibli-zation vibes
(tho i do recognize that it rather biases one against the clankers by making the beasties not nearly as unsettling)
like sure an adaptation with a different tone and time to give to the story and such would be groovy but the fact that of all things it got an anime?! by studio orange?! WITH joe hisaishi!!!!!!!!!
idk man 10/10 from me i screamed at the lillit kiss 🙂↕️🙂↕️
#the beloved dummkopfs kiss fell a little flat but like. it worked for *this* version of them imo#these two were less deprhful purely by merit of not being in their heads the whole time#of not feeling every ache of struggle and building yearning#theyre just cute in the end and thats acceptable to me#i dont frankly put a lot of stock in the idea of something being ruined by an adaptation#<- someone who successfully forgot about most thing pacrim that werent#the og movie and that one art julia lepetit did on drawfee (thats canon 💯)#i did miss the lorises being talkative#and was disappointed they werent Round#but the book stands all the more singular for having dark slimy visceral imagery#the only thing that really knocked me out of the world was the fuckin quadcopter 💀💀💀#there weeeere also a lot of like argument scenes that -- knowing its 3D and *could* have easily been shot differently#-- that i wouldve prefered were shot differently. a lot of detatched shots ig#i fr didnt pick up on many differences that werent categorizable as 'to smooth the plot for runtime'

I know many people have mixed feelings, or even outright dislike, the anime adaptation. It can be hard to accept a version of a story when your love for the books runs so deep. Personally, I would have loved to see three full seasons, or at least 24 episodes, to fully capture the creativity of this world, its unique technology, and the importance of Alek and Deryn’s relationship, built on loyalty and trust, as a powerful symbol of two opposing forces working together.
That said, I appreciate what the production team managed to do with just 12 episodes. It couldn’t have been easy. Sure, I wish certain scenes, events, or lines from the books had made it into the show, but I always knew it wouldn’t be a direct copy-and-paste. For what it is, I think they did a pretty solid job. You kind of have to approach the Leviathan anime like you're watching a long movie.
What I’m really trying to say is: despite its flaws, I truly enjoyed it. Seeing this incredible trilogy finally get an adaptation was a dream come true. It’s been overlooked for so long, and I’m thrilled to see it finally getting recognition and positive attention. I hope it inspires more people to pick up the books and experience the full magic of the story.
To add on: I don't exactly agree with the whole "Ghibli" inspired part, as I kind of pictured Leviathan to have a lot more grungy grit to it like how Keith's art portrays it, but as I know I've said in the past, Leviathan does have a lot of Ghibli elements to it. War, aviation, machines, creatures, and a strong female and male lead characters.

Inspired by @red-gloomurai's edit because the anime ending gave big As the World Caves In vibes (ie taking "We save each other, that's how it works" to a whole new level)

I FORGOR TO SHARE OG VOLO
AKA the person who became Giratina. In another timeline they were Cogita's child. After dedicating their time helping the Ancient Hero, they were left behind with the fallout of the events. Filled with rage, they went forth to subjugate Arceus, then proceeded to destroy the world. Before they were able to create a new one, Arceus finally revealed they had never been in control
They were left behind in their destroyed world as Arceus created a new one, and Volo was trapped with their fury in what we now know as Distortion World
Now he tries to get his revenge through the man who took his place in this new world

thehurstisreal graciously decided to commission me again, this time for a piece of Volo from Pokemon Legends: Arceus 🤍💚💖🖤💛 Thank you so very much!!!! 😭🙇♀️
Recently Xel-chan and I have been playing through each of the generations together, with me playing Red, Platinum, X and Heartgold, so far (she has played White, Ultra Moon, Shield, Scarlet and PLA). I haven't been into Pokemon since I was... 12? 25 years ago? lol It's been shockingly fun.
