Crunchyroll’s Darkest Anime Announces Major Anime Comeback

by

I absolutely love that Crunchyroll doesn’t shy away from the really intense side of anime! Sure, they have plenty of comedies, but they also deliver some seriously dark and gripping stories. Classics like *Berserk*, *Fullmetal Alchemist*, and *Hellsing* have always been among my favorites, and there’s a newer series that’s quickly joining that group. The first season was incredible – it really grabbed me – and I’m so excited to hear it’s getting a second season! It’s fantastic to see a truly bleak and compelling anime get the attention it deserves.

Fans of the anime *Clevatess* have reason to celebrate! A second season is officially planned, bringing back the main character’s journey to understand humanity and safeguard a royal infant. This new installment will be called *Clevates II – The Legend of The King of Demon Beasts And The False Hero*. The first season, which just finished airing its twelve episodes, followed the powerful protagonist and their reluctant companion as they faced numerous dangers. Although a release date hasn’t been announced yet, the return of this dark fantasy series is expected to be a big event for anime viewers.

Clevatess’ Creator Chimes In

The creator of *Clevatess*, Yuji Iwahara, expressed his excitement about the anime’s renewal for a second season. He was pleased with the positive reception to the first season and thanked the director and staff for their work. Iwahara promised a completely different setting for the second season, with new adventures for Kuren, revelations about the hero’s legend, and further development for Alicia. He’s eager to share the new season with viewers and anticipates continuing to expand the *Clevatess* universe thanks to the anime’s success. He asked fans for their continued support.

Clevatess, for those who might like a bit of backstory on the dark anime franchise, first began as a manga in 2020 and has continued releasing new chapters to this day. If you haven’t had the chance to binge through the first season, it’s currently available on Crunchyroll and here’s how the streaming service describes the series: “One of the Lords of Dark Beasts, Clevatess’s reign shatters when he revives a hero he personally slayed and adopts an orphaned humanoid baby—the last hope to save a dying world. Now bound together, what fate awaits this unlikely trio?”
