The site is also listing the television anime of Tadashi Kubō and Nokito's The Water Magician (Mizuzokusei no Mahōtsukai) light novel series for release in India as it airs in Japan. Crunchyroll will also stream The Water Magician as it airs in Japan.

Leviathan will premiere worldwide exclusively on Netflix on July 10.

Christophe Ferreira (Eden designs) is directing, and Joe Hisaishi is contributing an original song.

The story begins in 1914 on the eve of war, when a prince on the run encounters a girl dressed in boy's clothes on a bioengineered airship known as Leviathan.

Keith Thompson drew the original illustrations in the 2009-2011 novel series. Nobuko Toda (Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, RWBY: Ice Queendom, Ultraman anime) and Kazuma Jinnouchi (Suzume, Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, RWBY: Ice Queendom, Ultraman anime, Halo 4, Halo 5, Metal Gear Solid 3 & 4) are composing the music. Qubic Pictures is producing the project, and Orange is producing the animation. Justin Leach and Taiki Sakurai are producing.

Orange is known for its adaptation of Haruko Ichikawa's Land of the Lustrous manga, the anime of Paru Itagaki's BEASTARS manga, the Netflix series Godzilla Singular Point, and the Trigun Stampede anime, among other works. The studio has also done CG work for parts of various anime productions as far back as 2004's Aquarion television series.
