Clevatess Season 2 Episode 7 Review: Milea's Villain Turn Pays Off the Expanded Cast
The review argues the season's crowded cast is a real cost, but Milea's villain reveal is the payoff that makes the boarding school focus worth it.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime News Network.
Episode 7 of Clevatess Season 2 carries a community score of 4.0. The review finds the season's expanded cast at the magical boarding school Solsein hard to track, singling out the Blouyer Twins Tygel and Leon, who infiltrate the cultists in Solein's halls. The payoff is the reveal that Princess Milea is the true evil herald of Vorden, giving the season a stronger villain and insight into Drel's motivations. Alicia has been freed from her prison.
The review's central complaint is structural. Season 2's shift to the magical boarding school Solsein brings so many new students and faculty that the reviewer has been conditioned to treat nearly all of them as expendable until proven otherwise. The Blouyer Twins, Tygel and Leon, get real screentime this week infiltrating the cultists in Solein's halls, but the reviewer admits struggling to remember they exist, and the show's earlier emphasis on their partnership with Alicia has not paid off until now.
The counterweight is Milea. The reveal that Princess Milea is the true evil herald of Vorden turns a barely featured new name into the main villain and gives long-awaited insight into Drel's motivations. The reviewer contrasts her with Dean, a brazenly psychotic clergyman described as acceptably cheesy and one-dimensional. With Alicia freed from her prison, the review closes looking forward to the Hero cutting loose.
