REVIEW: Gorgeous Gothic Vampires Entertain in The Case Study of Vanitas

Season aired : Summer 2021

Number of episodes : 12

Genres : Fantasy, Drama

Thoughts : The Case Study of Vanitas sports many of Mochizuki-sensei’s signature elements — elevated character designs, a gothic atmosphere, and an overarching mystery waiting to be solved. It’s extraordinarily beautiful and highly enjoyable to watch. Despite all my reservations on the vampire’s return to entertainment, the anime won me over.

Noé seeks the Book of Vanitas — a legendary artifact that supposedly heals vampires from a terrifying disease. In vampire mythology, the disease began when the Blue Moon Vampire swore vengeance on the general vampire population for rejecting its existence and cursed them to live in fear of contracting it. Once contracted, vampires lose control of their bloodlust, leaving both humans and their own kind hunting the sickened vampires down. However, to Noé’s surprise, the Book of Vanitas is in the hands of a human who claims his own name is Vanitas. After Vanitas shows Noé the power behind the book, Noé decides to stick along with Vanitas in his journey to cure all vampires.

Taking place in a steampunk historical Paris, The Case Study of Vanitas went above and beyond for its art — in perfect parallel to what the city is famous for. I cannot praise the visuals and the character design enough. Mochizuki-sensei is known for her dramatic and drop-dead beautiful characters — antagonists, protagonists, and supporting characters alike — but the anime heightens this fact with its vibrant colors, dynamic clothes, and detailed animation of character expressions. Part of my enjoyment for this series comes straight from just staring at the screen to enjoy what I was seeing, story aside.

However, the series does suffer from some lackluster story arcs — especially in the beginning. Important characters often get introduced through interruptions, and, while that can be comical, it disrupts the flow when their sudden entrances force-pause entire conflicts. Jeanne and Luca are the earliest example of this issue. They interrupted Vanitas and Noé’s hunt for a corrupted vampire with their own demands unrelated to the issue at hand and quickly became the new conflict by attacking the protagonists. The paused mission would come back several episodes later, which makes the story feel disjointed.

Luckily, the later arcs don’t fall into that trap. New characters are introduced and contribute to the current problem at hand rather than throw off one, and their interactions are also more interwoven with the protagonists’ narrative arc. As a result, I found myself emotionally invested in the second half of the series versus the first, where I just watched out of entertainment.

The most surprising thing to me, however, is that I found the bloodsucking scenes quite charming. This is my first time watching an anime that gives an actual explanation as to why bloodsucking is so sexually charged — vampires inject an aphrodisiac into their victims when biting to not only prevent their victims from moving but also to enjoy getting bitten — and I find myself oddly appreciative of that added detail.

What is not surprising is the perfect music. Yuki Kaijura is the composer of the series, and her brilliance is on full display. The music extracts the exact emotions from the viewer no matter the scene. From the haunting, sharp sound of the flute to the sorrow of a vibrating violin, there was no end to the music that assailed the viewers from all directions. This is one of the reasons why I found myself so forgiving towards the first few arcs’ narrative mistakes. Even when rolling my eyes at the bad resolution of another conflict, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief when the fighting had stopped because of how high-strung the music made me feel.

Since the characters and their motivations and growth are heavily interwoven with the mystery behind the disease, we have not yet seen anyone’s development. Vanitas’s past was hinted at briefly in the last arc, and none of the characters have changed much because nobody really came any closer to understanding the truth behind the disease. Because of that, the voice actors also remained fairly static in their portrayal of the characters — though I found Inori Minase and Ai Kayano’s performances as Jeanne and Dominique respectively more electrifying than the pair of protagonists.

In the end, this first cour really is just a setup for the actual storm coming in the second cour . The twelve episodes certainly do their job in establishing the world, the characters, and the conflict. However, due to the mishaps of the first few arcs, this series was far more fun to watch than it was emotionally engaging. One can only hope that changes in the second cour.

Is The Case Study of Vanitas Any Good? Our Review

So, is The Case Study of Vanitas actually any good?

Published: 18 Feb 2022 8:56 AM +00:00 Updated: 18 Feb 2022 11:41 AM +00:00

Table of Contents

What is the case study of vanitas all about, is the case study of vanitas any good, are there any negatives, is the case study of vanitas worth watching.

When the first cour of The Case Study of Vanitas aired in summer 2021, it quickly became one of the most beloved shonen anime of the season. We're now at the second cour , and there were naturally high expectations, given how stunning the first twelve episodes were. So, is The Case Study of Vanitas actually any good? Read on, to find out if Part 2 lives up to the hype.

The Case Study of Vanitas is based on a manga of the same name by Jun Mochizuki, who has also penned Pandora Hearts, so you know what kind of aesthetic to expect. Produced by Studio Bones, also home to Fullmetal Alchemist and Wolf's Rain, it is the story of Noé, a young, idealistic vampire, and Vanitas, an obnoxious human who becomes his ally and travel companion.

Armed with the book of Vanitas, a cursed grimoire created by an old vampire - from whom the current Vanitas derived his name - the constantly bantering duo travel around, saving vampires whose true name has been corrupted, causing unnatural bloodlust.

The anime is colorful, upbeat, breathtaking to watch, and occasionally moving. But there's a shadow looming over the entertaining narrative as Noé, who is also the story's narrator, starts recounting the events by admitting that the journey ended with him killing Vanitas .

Even before watching The Case Study of Vanitas, you have to admit that its credentials are excellent. The author is known for eye-catching, comfortably familiar yet unique settings, and studio Bones has produced some excellent anime over the years.

Does the anime live up to it all? That largely depends on your expectations. The art is definitely the show's strongest point. The Case Study of Vanitas is arguably one of the most good-looking shows of the season. Whether you're watching an epic battle between the main characters and Charlatan, or a breather episode in alternative Paris, it's all bound to look stunning.

Of course, art alone can't sustain a popular shonen show - you need characterization and plot for that. We'll be honest here: The Case Study of Vanitas is entertaining, with a decent plot, world-building, and characters, but it is not groundbreaking in that regard. We've seen pairings between a naive, enthusiastic character, and a brooding, mysterious one, a great many times. The same can be said for modernized vampires who are peaceful until corrupted. As for the plot, it's pretty straightforward and largely dependent on battles, as is the case with most shonen works.

Does this mean that The Case Study of Vanitas is not good? Certainly not! There's nothing wrong with using formulas that have succeeded before. They're popular for a reason, and there are many little ways to freshen them up.

The Case Study of Vanitas h is good in that regard. It gives you a simple plot, where Vanitas, Noé, and the friends they make along the way, roam the world, solving mysteries and saving vampires. Despite the often high stakes, you can almost imagine that they'll go on like this forever.

But knowing from the beginning that Noé ends up killing Vanitas makes this a more complicated experience. You can't help wondering: at what point will things change so drastically? What will it take for the relationship between the two leads to become irreparable? Is Noé even a reliable narrator? Such questions will make you want to go on, even when the plot is a little bit underwhelming.

Similarly, the characters fit into archetypes, but a few of them come to life pretty well. Noé is a naive, idealistic character, but he is not any idealistic character. He gets adorably enthusiastic about the sights he encounters for the first time, he loves cats, and he manages to make friends in unlikely places.

Such little things make the characters stand out, and combined with their often heartbreaking backstories, they make you care about them. Their interactions are also fun to watch, and there's a wide range of them; rivalries, friendships, romances, and surrogate family relationships all have a place here.

Once again, this depends on what you consider as negative. Going into the show, you might want to know that Vanitas is a bit of a problematic figure. He is completely out of touch with his and others' feelings, which makes him rather unlikeable, especially early on. This becomes especially apparent in his relationship with Jeanne . At first, he acts all flirty around her, disregarding the fact that she doesn't seem to care about him, which is, unfortunately, a bit too common in male-female anime dynamics.

Thankfully, the second cour and later manga chapters subvert this a bit, as we're given reasons for both Jeanne's passive behavior and Vanitas' emotional immaturity, which is associated with intense self-loathing. In other ways, the show subverts gender expectations, as was the case with the same-sex dancing partners during a ball in the first cour. Moreover, Vanitas' problematic behavior is at least acknowledged in-universe, as Noé himself can barely stand him at times, but it's still something you might want to know before you start watching.

Overall, there's a lot to love about The Case Study of Vanitas. It's a beautifully animated show with fun character interaction and a rather conventional plot that is made less so using a bold storytelling move.

If knowing from the beginning that something very bad is going to happen is a dealbreaker for you, then you should probably not watch the show, but if you're intrigued by this, by all means, give Vanitas a chance.

The show might not appeal to those who enjoy completely unconventional storylines, and characters, but if you're ok with some fantasy and shonen formulas, The Case Study of Vanitas might be the best that the Winter 2022 season has to offer!

The Summer 2021 Preview Guide The Case Study of Vanitas

How would you rate episode 1 of the case study of vanitas community score: 4.4, what is this.

Rumors revolving around The Book of Vanitas , a clockwork grimoire of dubious reputation, draw Noé, a young vampire in search of a friend's salvation, to Paris. What awaits him in the City of Flowers, however, is not long hours treading the pavement or rifling through dusty bookshops in search of the tome. Instead, his quarry comes to him...in the arms of a man claiming to be a vampire doctor! Thrust into a conflict that threatens the peace between humans and vampires, will Noé cast in his lot with the curious and slightly unbalanced Vanitas and his quest to save vampirekind?

The Case Study of Vanitas is based on Jun Mochizuki 's manga and streams on Funimation on Fridays.

How was the first episode?

The first episode of the The Case Study of Vanitas suffers heavily from a problem I've come to call “proper noun-itis.” Proper nouns are thrown around with no real explanation or context. Worse yet, there is no viewpoint character around to ask the dumb questions that would clear things up and clue us into what's going on.

From what I can piece together, vampires are real and have basically existed living in the shadows of society ever since mankind tried to exterminate them all. Now, however, there is some sort of “Malady” that is corrupting vampires and making them go berserk. It does this by messing with their “True Names”—and only the “Book of Vanitas” can repair the damage.

I'll be the first to admit this is a surface level understanding at best. When it comes down to it, all this first episode really does is show us what happens when a vampire goes berserk and how to cure them. It then tells us that the latter is an amazing feat. It doesn't, however, explain why this is the case.

But that's only the start to the confusion. Usually with long-established fictional entities like vampires, we can assume certain rules: sunlight is bad, a stake through the heart can kill them, etc. But this episode breaks rules right away by having one vampire feed on another, leaving me wondering if any of the normal vampire rules apply beyond the blood-drinking part. Then we have Vanitas himself, who claims to be human but should be dead several times over from the damage he takes throughout the episode if that were true.

Amid all the confusion, there is, however, one major redeeming quality: this anime is beautifully animated. The lines and colors are crisp and clean while the action is dynamic and fluid. This is somewhat to be expected given that the anime's director is Tomoyuki Itamura , who's been one of the directors on pretty much every iteration of the Monogatari Series.

It's solid eye-candy, at the very least. However, I'm not sure that's enough to keep me watching long term. At this point, I'll give the series one more episode to hook me and if not, well, there are plenty of other anime this season for me to pick up.

I am extremely pleased to report that the premiere of The Case Study of Vanitas has officially delivered everything the trailers promised: stylish animation and design work supporting a fantastically detail-oriented representation of old Paris, lush music including a catchy opening theme song, and two beautiful young men with some powerful homoerotic chemistry between them. I did well to choose it as my second most-anticipated, I think.

Things started strong with “Sora to Utsuru” by sasanomaly , which is an absolute bop that stands to be the best opening of the season. The accompanying video, featuring Vanitas and Noé going on a date (or outing, if you really insist on ignoring the subtext) through well-known Paris landmarks, sets the tone for the show and creates expectations of just who the two protagonists are. It's a lot of fun and I'll definitely be watching it with every episode.

The episode itself dabbles a bit more into vaguely gothic/steampunk imagery, with children's book illustrations at the start to explain just what vampires are in this world (they are born, not sired, and weak to the light of the blue moon), airships flying over the city, and baroque, ornate fixtures everywhere you look. It is in this world that Noé, a dead-ringer for Blood Blockade Battlefront 's Zapp Renfro, seeks the Book of Vanitas, which can supposedly bring ruin to vampires. He encounters a young lady vampire who turns out to be suffering from a terrible illness, but both of them are saved by Vanitas, a young man carrying the book that Noé seeks.

It's a feast for every sense, but the main draw for me, and I suspect many other potential audience members, is the dynamic between Noé and Vanitas. It's no secret that there's a lot of gay subtext between them, and they're pretty as all get-out, but that alone isn't enough. It would be so easy to fall into the same sort of relationship as Holmes and Watson, the highly intelligent one solving cases while the other one assists, but things between Noé and Vanitas are much more balanced. Yes, Vanitas is smart and capable, but he's also a klutz and kind of a doofus when he's not curing vampiric illnesses. Noé seems to be a good foil, but he is neither straight man nor dunce, just intelligent and goofy in his own ways that play well off Vanitas. Oh, and he has a cat. Natsuki Hanae and Kaito Ishikawa do excellent jobs portraying both of them, with their quirks and foibles.

The Case Study of Vanitas is the third premiere I've watched, and the first one I'm excited to continue watching.

I am one very happy Victorianist – The Case Study of Vanitas , based on the manga of the same name by the creator of Pandora Hearts , is an exquisite picture of late 19th century France. The visuals for this episode are spectacular, even if we discount the smooth movements of the fight scene between Noé and Vanitas on the airship, the period details are beautifully ornate, right down to the one thing that almost no anime gets right, the number of petticoats under a woman's full skirt. It isn't 100% perfect, but when it looks this nice, that hardly matters.

It's also another type of personal rare beast: a vampire story that intrigues me. While we don't get much vampire lore in this episode, what little there is makes it look as if The Case Study of Vanitas is working with its own mythology, one a bit similar to the manga Dead Girl Murder Farce's in how vampires are born, not made, and live among the general population in relative openness. They don't run around attacking humans willy-nilly, either – if they do, it's a sign that there's something wrong with them, sort of like how nocturnal animals walking around in daylight is a sign that they're rabid. And honestly, that's feeling like a fairly close comparison at the moment; when Amelia gives in to her illness (as Vanitas terms it), she immediately bites Noé, a bite that he fears is poisoned by whatever's ailing her. That doesn't do anything to Noé's determination to save her, but it does give him pause, which is when Vanitas comes rushing in to the rescue.

Vanitas is, at this moment, the biggest obstacle for the series to overcome. He's the off-key instrument in the orchestra, frantically frolicking through the show like a, well, stereotypical anime character, when everyone else is moving to a more stately, gilded beat. While this is doubtless purposeful and meant to establish that Vanitas is his own person not bound by the constraints of society, he's also an effective mood killer, which may not be a great thing, either here or going forward. But hey, at least he looks gorgeous.

Even if Vanitas is annoying, he may be worth dealing with for the rest of the package this episode gives us. There was clearly consultation with someone fluent in French, as the newspaper headlines are all in real, readable condition, as is young Noé's book of fairy tales, and the French words scattered about are also fitting – the airship is called “La baleine,” meaning “the whale,” and the Church's vampire- vanquishers are called “chasseurs,” which means “hunters.” The characters also pronounce “vampire” the French way, “vampeer” not “vampire,” which is a nice bit of setting establishment. This is definitely a show worth keeping an eye on, because it has style, worldbuilding, and characters who all have definite potential – even if Vanitas proves to be the worst aspect of his own series.

After a couple of awkward, run-of-the-mill nonstarters, premiere season has now truly kicked into gear. While Vanitas here is by no means rewriting the formula on vampire anime or supernatural action series at large, this first episode steps up to the plate with such confidence and flair it's hard not to get caught up in it all.

A big part of that is its presentation – Director Tomoyuki Itamura has brought every ounce of the visual flair and experimentation that characterized his work on the Monogatari series to Studio Bones, and painted both a lavish and attractive picture with it all. The mix of different visual styles, ornate environmental designs, and over-the-top direction melds perfectly with Vanitas ' world of steampunk technology, gorgeous vampires, and ridiculous fashion. While the action is largely subdued for this introductory story, what little we see here is as sharp and on point as one could ask for, and in general this premiere just looks fantastic at every opportunity.

The story is a bit closer to average, at least so far. There are some interesting twists to be sure – rather than the dark-haired waif being a vengeful vampire, he's a human seeking to heal the vicious maladies turning otherwise peaceful vampires into rampaging monsters. Our assumed everyman perspective character is himself a vampire, with seemingly a history and secret all his own. But otherwise this story is fairly typical for this sort of supernatural action fantasy. But the series also seems fully aware of that and self-consciously soaks in its own silliness, both embracing its gothic aesthetic and occasionally undercutting it with comedy at just the right moments. In tone, it's actually similar to Studio Bones' Sk8 the Infinity from earlier this year – it's silly, it knows it, but it also wants to have as much fun as possible rather than apologizing for it.

More than anything, that's what this premiere promises to be: fun. It strikes an almost perfect balance with its tone and indulgent setting, and when a show looks this nice that's just about everything you could ask for. I'm very much looking forward to sinking my teeth into Vanitas , both the man and the show at large.

I love it when an anime comes along so early in the Preview Guide to blow my expectations out of the water, because it's always nice to know that you'll have at least one kickass new show to look forward to in a new season. From the scratchy and stylish line art of the fairy tale prologue, to the gorgeous alternate-history Victiorian era aesthetics of the show's world, to the delightful characters and intriguing story — The Case Study of Vanitas is a premiere that basically does everything right when it comes to getting its blood-soaked hooks into its audience so it can leave them begging for more.

For one, Noé makes for an excellent perspective character to follow as the events on the airship unfold; not only does he have a floofy cat named Murr, but we learn that he is a vampire himself, which makes a lot of sense of his desire to protect his new friend Amelia and keep her from losing control and feasting on the blood of innocent humans. Even though Vanitas is a Bones production, the distinct visual flair of director Tomoyuki Itamura comes through clear as day by the time the premiere is done. Not only does the titular Vanitas flash that signature Monogatari grin all over the place once he shows up to put a stop to Amelia's rampage, but Vanitas is positively brimming with animation flourishes and confident direction that makes the whole thing sing, even before the fantasy action set pieces get going in the second half.

I really love the whole concept of a secret community of somewhat benevolent vampires, and the malnomen curse that corrupts their true nature and causes them to become the monstrous bloodsuckers that humans have come to fear in their myths. This makes Vanitas a kind of trickster vampire hunter/healer combo, which is a great spin on the usual dynamic, and it makes his relationship with Noé that much more interesting, especially given the ominous foreshadowing that caps off the episode. An odd-couple pair of vampires whose friendship may or may not lead to soul-crushing tragedy? With a boatload of stylish action and fun comedy in between? Hell yes, absolutely, give me more of this as soon as (in)humanly possible, please!

The Case Study Of Vanitas - What We Know So Far

Avid manga readers have probably picked up, or at least heard of, "The Case Study of Vanitas." Set in 19th century Paris, the story's use of steampunk has produced gorgeous and unique art that puts one in mind of the ever-popular "Black Butler." However, the aesthetic isn't the only thing that makes this story interesting. Created by Jun Mochizuki ("Pandora Heart"), "Case Study" follows Noé Archiviste as he aids Vanitas on his journey to help vampires from giving into their predatory nature. It is not an easy task though, as danger lurks in every corner and a force called the Charlatan tries to corrupt the vampires before they can be saved. The series has appeared in Square Enix's "Monthly Gangan Joker" since 2015, and has since produced 8 volumes. 

Fans of "Case Study" will be pleased to know that Vanitas and Noé will be animated. The anime will be adapted by Bones Inc. Studio, which is known for producing popular series such as " Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood ," "Ouran High School Host Club" and, most recently, "My Hero Academia." Here is everything we know about "The Case Study of Vanitas." 

When will The Case Study of Vanitas be released?

According to Anime News Network , Aniplex revealed back in March that the anime adaptation of "The Case Study of Vanitas" was on its way. It was later announced that the series would premiere on July 2nd and will air across multiple TV networks (via  Crunchyroll ). In addition to Bones Inc., Tomoyuki Itamura of "Owarimonogatari" will be directing, while Deko Akao of "Snow White with the Red Hair" and Yoshiyuki Ito of "Carole & Tuesday" will be serving as the script overseer and the character designer, respectively.

The anime's official Twitter also recently attached a trailer , which features Vanita's book of healing, fights with vicious vampires , and of course, the stunning 19th century Paris in which all the action takes place. Fan reaction to the over minute-long teaser was overwhelming, with many merely responding with heart-eyes emojis and gifs to accurately express their excitement. 

With only a couple of weeks to go, viewers won't have to wait long to return to Vanita's world or venture into it for the very first time. 

What characters will be in the "The Case Study of Vanitas?"

"The Case Study of Vanitas" features a wide variety of characters, who add more to both the plot and various relationships. If the anime will cover the first 40 or so chapters, fans can expect many of these people to make an appearance. 

Vanitas is the current holder of the Book of Vanitas, and thanks to its powers, he can do amazing things, though he claims to be a normal human. Despite his seemingly carefree personality, Vanitas' childhood — his parents were murdered by a vampire and his guardian subjected him to painful tests — has shaped who he is and what he does. During his travels, he meets Noé Archiviste, a man seeking the Book under the orders of his teacher. Noé is very caring, and because of this, he travels with Vanitas, finding his mission to save vampires rather than kill them to be an honorable deed. 

On Noé's and Vanitas' journeys, they come across other friends and enemies. These include Jeanne, an enslaved vampire ordered to kill her own kind; Luca, a young vampire and son of the Grand Duke; Dominique, Noé's childhood friend who harbors unrequited feelings for him, and the Teacher, a cruel, mysterious, and ancient vampire that exploits his students. 

The series is also likely to expand on supporting characters responsible for leading the main cast into even more perilous situations. 

What will be the plot of "The Case Study of Vanitas?"

Noé Archiviste hopes to find the legendary Book of Vanitas, a relic with extraordinary powers. Aboard a 19th century blimp, he meets Vanitas, the newest inheritor of the ancient text. Together, they search for sick vampires and use the power of the book to heal them. 

Most animes' first seasons usually follow up to the manga's  sixth or seventh volume, so we can expect this series to do the same. Within those approximately 40 chapters, the adaptation will depict Noé's first meeting with Vanitas, how Vanitas utilizes the book to get the job done, the introductions of Luca, Jeanne, and Dominique, Noé's relationship with the mysterious Teacher, and the risks of dealing with bloodsuckers and the Charlatan that threatens to undo Vanitas' work and continue to corrupt any vampires. 

Though there are more than seven volumes currently published, fans will have to wait for the "Case Study of Vanitas" to get renewed if they want to see the next adventure animated.

English Dub Season Review: The Case Study of Vanitas Season One

Overview (Spoilers Below):

Long ago, a vampire named Vanitas was born under a blue moon and was thus called a curse-bearer. Legend tells that he wrote a grimoire called the Book of Vanitas and that its powers can be used on those vampires who are of the crimson moon. Fast-forward to the present day and a human named Vanitas has possession of the book. He partners up with a vampire called Noe, and the two of them work together to advance Vanitas’s agenda. From evading the church’s vampire hunting agents to falling in love, the two of them are up to something wild each week as they make their way through 19th century France.

Set in 19th century Paris, The Case Study of Vanitas tells the story of an eccentric man child called Vanitas and the vampires and humans he meets throughout his travels. It’s a trippy road trip through Paris, England, and otherworldly vampiric realms—and it’s also very sexy (if you’re into vampires of course). Whether it’s good or not is another story, and it’s a little hard to answer because it’s going to depend very much on your ability to overlook how annoying Vanitas is.

The basic plot is that Vanitas is a human who’s goal is to find the so-called curse bearing vampires who have been afflicted by the misfortune. He does this via a magical tome called the Book of Vanitas, which was written by a long-gone vampire also named Vanitas who was born under a blue moon. He meets up with a vampire named Noe, and the two of them form a kind of frenemy bond. From then on, it’s the two of them going on new adventures each week. The quality varies depending on the episode. The show does action fairly well, and some of the more fight-oriented scenes are fun to watch. The romantic arcs are much less well done, although I might be biased since I’m not a huge fan of vampiric romance, which at least according to this show, involves a lot of blood.

The anime is based on a manga by Jun Mochizuki. It’s been said that one the trademarks of the original manga was the tension-filled drip of information and backstory, but I don’t feel like the anime really did this justice. Instead of a slow build, the series seems to mostly ignore questions of logic and backstory—until it doesn’t, and then it force feeds you flashbacks for entire episodes. This makes it hard to keep the pace interesting, and I often found that I would lose what little excitement I was feeling because the show would suddenly take a detour, like when it abandons Vanitas and Noe at the party with Charlatan in favor a melodramatic tale from Noe’s past.

The production quality of the show is fine, but nothing special. Bones is the studio that worked on it, and they’ve made a lot of very well respected series in the past. Vanitas probably won’t go down in history as one of them. It doesn’t look bad, but it none of its visuals really appealed to me very much and I couldn’t really get a feel for the art direction of the show. Some of the character designs are fun, especially Ronaldo and Dr. Moreau, but those were the highlights for me. The English dub is serviceable, but some of the dialogue can sound stilted and off—although that might just be part of the show itself, since The Case Study of Vanitas is certainly one to lean into weirdness.

All in all, Vanitas isn’t really the kind of show that appeals to me. It takes its ingredients (vampires, 19th century Paris, romance) and kind of throws them around in hopes that something will be born out of the chaos. Chaotic shows are well and good, but usually there has to be at least one character to sort of anchor the plot, and none of the characters here really did that for me. Noe is presumably the one who we should be rooting for alongside Vanitas, but his blind loyalty and odd naivety toward Vanitas didn’t really endear him to me as our main character. About half of the character in the show suck blood, and I would have to say the show itself also sucks.

Season Review: Velma Season Two

Ulf Claesson-

Why is a third season unlikely? The first season, for all the hatred it got (and I liked it!), attracted quite a huge audience, a substantial part of which is likely to return (to bitch and moan if nothing else, even though this season seems to be getting much better reviews.. so far), so unless the viewership for season two plummets (which is unlikely, as many will have a morbid curiosity in seeing how this season turn out) I think a third season is quite likely. And as I said, I liked season one. So bring it on. You know, I think this incarnation of the show actually will grow into a cult classic in years to come, pretty much like Mystery Inc has (no comparison, just pointing out that it, too, was met with less than enthusiasm at first, something which has definitely changed in recent years.)
