PREVIEW BYZEPHYR

Based on a mobile social game by GREE, Zettai Bouei Leviathan (Absolute Defense Leviathan) revolves around a fantasy world named Aquafall. Populated by dragons and fairies, the inhabitants find themselves suddenly threatened by meteorites carrying evil creatures. In response, the fairy Syrup (Hanazawa Kana) assembles the Aquafall Defense Force and recruits three dragon clanswomen in Leviathan (Hayami Saori), Bahamut (Kitamura Eri), and Jormungandr (Taketatsu Ayana) to assist. Together they work to fight the enemies that threaten their planet, while growing up in the process.

I’m not quite sure what to say about Zettai Bouei Leviathan. On one hand, I don’t feel like there’s not much to expect from this series. It’s based off a mobile social game after all, and seems to have a rather typical fantasy plot to boot. On the other hand, I can’t help but notice the all-star female cast this series has, as well as the fact that Gonzo is heading things up as the production studio. Granted, Gonzo hasn’t been in the greatest shape recently, but the fact that HanaKana, Hayami Saori, Kitamura Eri, and Taketatsu Ayana are all on board does potentially signal that there might be something worth watching here. I suppose the result is that while you probably shouldn’t come into this series with any kind of real expectations, it doesn’t mean there isn’t anything worth watching here—especially if you’re a fan of the above seiyuu or the fantasy genre
