An anime series directed by Kenichi Yatani and produced by Gonzo, GREE, and Dentsu aired from April 6 to July 7, 2013.
[8] Carl Kimlinger of Anime News Network gave the series an overall C+ rating.
[9] He gave credit to both director Kenichi Yatani and the character designs of Takaharu Okuma for crafting a light-hearted adventure with an "intensely cute" female cast that delivers a "pleasing dry sense of humor" but found it throwaway with its ongoing story using "musty RPG plotting" and its overall charm being a detriment to itself, saying "That frothiness is both Leviathan's great strength and its ultimate weakness.
