Levius

It tells the story of young Levius, who lost an arm in the war. Equipped with a metal prosthesis, he now begins a career as a boxer.

Like every CGI anime, "Levius" takes some getting used to.

But after getting used to the animation, an interesting story with exciting boxing matches and interesting characters awaits you.

The anime is reminiscent of Megalo Box, but I'll be the last to complain about more action-packed mecha boxing matches.

Don't expect a masterpiece, but "Levius" with its 12 episodes is a good anime for in between.

I have even read that another season is planned, but I don't want to get hyped to early.

I originally played this series as an ambience and it grabbed my attention fast. It didnt seem too exciting by description and trailer, but after watching it, revealed to have more depth than just the metal boxing. Its runs as a typical prodigy-underdog to prestigious competitor, but the story behind Levius and how the other characters begin to intertwine is what make this series. Along with the dynamic steam punk world and war that is still shrouded in mystery theres alot more this series can dig into while following Levuis' progress in metal boxing and what will be revealed as the series progresses. Another review mentioned how Natalia is more of a peeve in the series which i can understand... but i found her charming and a relief in the somewhat bleak attitude other characters often have toward the sport and I believe she will have a bigger impact in the oncoming seasons.

My only gripes is how the end of season 1 was just a little over the top, and how the subtitles seem to portray the characters of having an english accent. I do wish they used english voice actors (u.k.) to better accommodate the subtitle script.

Overall, if youre into some of the other street fighting anime's on Netflix, chances are you'll like this take of an in the ring, metal boxing series, with its unraveling story and world.

If nothing else it's an interesting and more believable take on a fighting Anime than most others I've read about / seen.

Basing everything around a real world sport, without any wacky monster fighting or weird unexplainable "Supers"/Creatures it creates a engaging narrative that's worth watching.

It of course falls back on a few classic tropes, but like the car chase in action films, they are almost mandatory as this point.

The plot is about a young man that box in search of something. The boxing is changed however, they use cybernetic enhancement. It is a great series so far, I've only seen 12 episodes. I am very much looking forward to more!

Plot

A young man whose parents became casualties of war. He is taken in by his uncle Zack, and it is there that Levius begins to immerse himself in the world of metal boxing as if led by fate itself, and his innate ability for the martial art blossoms.

While I admit, I was originally put off because I didn't think the CGI looked very appling but then when I watched it I was surprised and I actually got used to it.

the dub was also decent for what it's worth.

If you like anime's which feature boxing, you might enjoy this.
