Leviathan is a 2009 novel written by Scott Westerfeld and illustrated by Keith Thompson. First of a trilogy set in alternative version of World War I, it has Central Powers (known in-universe as 'Clankers') using mechanized war machines opposed by Entente Powers (as 'Darwinists') who fabricate living creatures genetically. The central protagonists are Aleksander, son of Archduke Franz. Foundation is the first ongoing comics series set in the Mass Effect series and is the first series to be scripted by Walters on his own; Walters had worked on some of the franchise's mini-series prior to Foundation, and was responsible for reviewing other writers' contributions to the script. Walters noted that he was able to fully commit to a longer series with the release of Mass Effect 3.

Reception[edit]
Carl Kimlinger of Anime News Network gave the series an overall C+ rating.[8] 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. It's effortlessly fun to watch, but also about as memorable as, well, something that I can't quite remember right now.'[8] Stig Høgset, writing for THEM Anime Reviews, heavily criticized the series for being a poor adaptation of a fantasy RPG game that puts an overreliance on moe designs and fanservice, while the overall plot and characters get little development to engage viewers, concluding that its 'A failure in every single aspect of what makes a show good, and I've seen a lot of relatively average fantasy anime that at least managed to be entertaining.'[9]
