One of my headcanons about leviathan is that Dr. Barlow thought Sharp was coming out as transfem in the chapter in Goliath where they were telling her they were a girl.

More messy Leviathan scribbles because I’m still trying to determine how I want to draw Sharp’s face

Mini-review:

One of my closest friends used to love these books years and years ago, so imagine my surprise when it was announced that they would be adapted as an anime! Anyway, the central concept is such a cool idea for an alternative version of history; it makes for a lot of great visuals. The character development feels a bit rushed at times, definitely as a result of adapting an entire trilogy into twelve 25-minute episodes. Still, at the same time, the pace never lets up and the overall experience is as thrilling as it gets. But the real highlight is, as expected, Studio Orange's animation. Like I've said before, their use of 3D with dashes of 2D breathes life into the worlds of their shows. When you watch something by Orange, you're left feeling that no other studio could have pulled it off like that. So yeah, in my book, Leviathan is a resounding success.

Alek: Let's play a game called "Alek or Bovril" where we try to figure out if the sweet things Dylan says are directed at me or a beastie

Dr. Barlow:

Derwyn: I have a better idea! How about this: "Dylan or Walker"?

Alek: Okay that's not fair, Walkers are my whole life!

Derwyn: They're not even LIVING

I appreciated her character so much more on this read through than I did when I was fourteen
