The premise of Leviathan
As mentioned before, the Leviathan anime is based on Scott Westerfeld’s book trilogy of the same name, which was released in 2009. The first book in the series is Leviathan, followed by Behemoth and Goliath. The story is set in the year 1914, just before World War I. This historical fiction focuses on a fugitive prince who meets a girl disguised as a boy, who rides a bioengineered airship called Leviathan.
The teaser visual that Netflix Anime revealed alongside the announcement also included the two main characters of the upcoming series—the prince and the girl dressed as a boy. In addition to the visual, Netflix Anime released a video titled "Next on Netflix Animation: The Preview for 2024 and Beyond." This video included short clips from many upcoming Netflix anime projects, and a short glimpse of the Leviathan anime can be seen at the 47-second mark.
