Clevatess Episode 02 review: Bandits suck

Clevatess wasn’t supposed to hit this hard. Now I’m pacing between episodes like it owes me answers

To recap, Klen transformed into a human, both he and Alicia got captured by bandits in the previous episode. He points out that under this transformation, his skin is thin and frail. I like how he was just sat there nonchalantly in the wagon. I love how this particular scene echoes back to how Alicia was first introduced as a hero, with a twist of course from the first episode.

Did you guys see the overhead view of the bandit’s camp? showed a large hole, will that hole have something to do in this episode? I think it will. Bandits are pretty much your typical asses found in most fantasy, dark fantasy series. I hope they get their comeuppances, would love to see Klen tear a hole, big enough like that hole in the camp and teach them a lesson. Also, they might have found their wet nurse.

Alicia is brought to their “boss” Vrok. Pretty smart character, even if he is a total ass, he clocked that she was one of the 13 heroes. Curious, how did word get out, when she concealed her gender from the main fodder themselves? bit of a mystery there. It confirms what I suspected with Hiderat now in ruins, the price for their magical weapons is sought after. Vrok, is selling counterfeits, the swine.

Uh-oh, don’t like what the scene implied, where she was taken away from Vrok by his hench men, to have “a bit of fun”. Dark fantasy isn’t for everyone. And Clevatess isn’t holding back from the looks of it. Anyone looking for something nice, warm, fuzzy with pixie dust, better tune off, maybe watch Mashima’s Fairy Tail. Klen has been made to work what looks like a pub, ironic that one who has servants, is being made to serve others.

I do feel for an abused slave woman called Nell; she’s the wet nurse that is breast feeding Luna. She works at the pub. The abuse is held back and toned down; it could have been worse. However, that ass spanking is one thing, the black eye is a dead giveaway.

Actually, I take that back a bit. Nell recounts her back story, and not gonna lie, it was a bit hard to take in. She was abused by the bandits since she was 12. Her plight made me really sorry for her. In order to survive, she had to essentially become a prostitute, this was done by Carme who took her in. I’m guessing she saw just how bad it would have gotten, so essentially saved her. Nell having given still births to not one, not two, but three kids of her own, really shows how Clevatess can be brutal. Klen who listened intently, didn’t interrupt, let Nell tell her story, then without question offered her a new path. For a dark beast, he’s showing far more human traits than what actual humans are in this series.

Wow the final few minutes were just so, damn, Alicia’s is taken to this rope bridge, where I suspected the bandits wanting to have fun with her is partially correct. Anway, some real nice world info dump was given. Remember the giant hole? well this place is an abandoned mineshaft for arcanacite called Elbe, the legendary hero Khordhwar was last seen here. 300 years ago, it got flooded, and with that flood brought dark beasts called Arvensis of the water. He wasn’t a match for them, however his sword Stream splitter is at the bottom.

Could Alicia be Saber in disguise, I mean she is blonde and cute too. What happened at the rope, isn’t for the faint of hearts, and holy hell left me awe struck.

Next Week’s Doom Forecast 🌩️

From what happened at the rope bridge, Alicia is an undead, so she will come back and kick their assess ten-fold. I do think Klen will start to act, in order to procure Nell’s service. Meaning he’s going to wipe them out.

Clevatess Episode 01 review: the dark lord beast

Welp, the premiere for Clevatess dropped, so I’m late, however, will be taking my time in doing these episode reviews. Also heads up: this review format’s an outlier, since epi 1 runs a hefty 45 mins long.

First impression: 90’s fantasy vibe & brutal world building

Straight off the bat, the art reminds me of those really early 90’s fantasy. So that is quite nice considering Clevatees is dark fantasy, and it doesn’t hold back either. The story starts off with some expo dump, introducing the main female lead Alicia as a child. Her dream is to be one of the chosen heroes, who will lead humanity in venturing further out from their lands and show the world, just how big…and bad, like really bad the world really is. Considering the continent of Edthea is guarded by the 4 lord beasts. I don’t know, this could tie into the mythos of Japan having 4 divine beasts, as each represent North, South, East and West. Maybe? the world is vastly unexplored so why do the 4 beasts guard the 4 points of the compass

(I don’t know about you; wouldn’t it be funny if Edthea is in a vast lake that pretends to be an ocean. Just throwing it out there). Anyway, Alicia becomes a chosen hero. So that’s very unsurprising. I got to meet some chu–characters that didn’t last as long as their name cards. Their weapons were legendary. Their wielders? fodder. Their name cards outlived their legacy

Why’s that you ask? jokes on you, I don’t have 100g to give – I’m flat broke sue me okay! Clevatess, one of the 4 dark lord beasts has arrived. And holy hell … did you see the first attack? it was that fast, even the name cards were on longer. You all got them kill counts right? because I’m still stuck on one. Damn… you guys see that insane spinning sword evades by Alicia?! I love it!!

A thousand years, that is some really nice expo dump given to me by Clevatess. He called them humanoids, weird thing to note on them. I’d bookmark that as well too, could hold some plot point in the future. Cleavatess, just decimates the heroes as if they are some lvl 1 noobs on a dungeon quest, who are out of their league.

Capital Carnage: Hiden Kingdom falls & furnace lore

Hiden kingdom, capital city Hiderat – I mean that is a very, er…curiously and very interesting name for a capital city. Sounds like it’s ripped from final fantasy XI! what you guys think? Not shockingly at all, Clevatess launches an attack on the named capital. His inner monologues are intriguing- he shows curiosity, whilst mowing down Hiden’s populace like he’s having stroll in the park.

God damn, that is just brutal Clevatess, pure execution- off with the king’s head! Jokes aside, Hilden is one of those places that would be targeted because they pose a threat, very typical fantasy-esq .. or they did something stupid, either way it lands in most fantasy settings.

Something else also caught my attention – the Hiderat furnace plays an important part in their smithery. Now that the king is dead, how they going to continue, they like going to cut off the king’s hand, shove it on the scanner or something?

Beyond the fangs: Mercy, curiosity, and monster philosophy

There is more to Clevatess than just some vengeful Thanatos, behind that animalistic instinct, he is at cross-roads with them. One hand he wants to wipe them out, on the other, a level of curiosity lies there. Showing a conflicted relationship, he harbours with them. He could have rejected a dying Hildreans wishes, but he didn’t. Instead taking on an infant. Just to see. Showing a small level of compassion to cement that complexity.

Hildeans are the “elves-dwarves” of this fantasy setting, and they are more open to other races, unlike the usual racial tropes. I love the world building expo, giving so much insight into the world and other races.

Undead motherhood: Alicia, Luna and the beast’s mercy

Going back to how this all started, Alicia is in essence a tragic heroine. She died dreaming of something hopeful, only to have that dream shattered like an elegant cathedral windowpane. Clevatess, the beast who slaughtered her and her comrades, brings her back from the dead using his dark ichor. She returns as an undead servant, bound to help raise the infant, Luna. He demands that she feeds the baby, this even further cementing his complex relationship with humans.

Alicia, visibly embarrassed, admits she never had the chance to nurture, so suggests a wet nurse. I do like this scene, the morning light shining off arcanacite stones, it gives this very bittersweet glow – she is undead yet there is hope that shines. Oh, and they go by the name Klen and Luna. I had to laugh, Klen is so particular, that he overtly criticises Alicia on how to clean Luna. The sheer irony of this scene is like basking in holy water.

I wonder what the legend is actually referring to, is there more to the legend that isn’t clear, does this involve a prophecy around Luna, like she is the chosen one who will lead humanity to the light side? also, the naming day of the son. Hang on, it can’t mean…anyway the kingdom has fallen. And well like any, in fantasy setting, you guessed it … other kingdoms are here to pick the bones off like Clevatess cleans his fangs with.

Next stop: Bandits, bones and post-kingdom blues

Err… looks like this review has hit its word count of 1k … my bad, to quickly end, well not as epic as the OP ruler (which just rocks!). I’ll see you on the not-so-1k review! … don’t leave me behind Klen!!
