    More than Just a Vampire Show

    I will admit I only picked up this series because I was going through Seraph of the End withdrawal, I was pleasantly surprised.

    It's a fun vampire story with quirky characters and a beautiful rendition of nineteenth century France. The blend of fun characters, emotional themes, and storybook style motifs reminded me of so many of my favourite anime series.

    The heart of the show is the relationship between Noe and Vanitas. Their interplay is delightful and our interest is retained from episode to episode.

    This was another all nighter for me and I would have stayed up for another night if there had been more episodes, it was great.

    A real treat for people with an appreciation for culture and artisanship

    TLDR; At the bottom

    Why culture? Show is deeply inspired by French culture, from the setting to how the characters behaves, going as far as to use French words and emphasize the cultures fundamental spirit.

    Why artisanship? The show drips with an elegance. The dub performance is probably the best Ive ever seen, the VA of Vanitas brings the character to life like no other. From the delicate and purposeful movements of the characters with its finely drawn artstyle, to the Steampunk Age of Enlightment setting, and the plethora of detailed character expressions. It is a clear inspiration of an artistic nature.

    The producers wanted to make the show perform like a piece of beautiful theatre, but in anime form.

    Though there is a rather big caveat.

    This show caters to a certain audience. Though it is a show of artistic style, intrigue and heavily character focused, it is fundamentally a romance comedy with a major theme of vampires, and that has a connotation with it. A show that will undoubtedly be of the sensual persuasion. So if that is amiable to you, this show should be completely fine.

    TLDR; Phenomenal show for those who can appreciate its artistc approach, and superb voice acting delivery that truly enhances the performance(dub), without this appreciation though some may judge this show as mediocre.

    A unique and dramatic adventure

    If you love fictional adventure, great world building, and memorable characters, Case Study of Vanitas is the series to look for. The way this show is directed, the magical background score, the way each character is given a moment to shine, it's all just perfect. The chemistry and friendship between the 2 main characters is brilliant. There's a lot that happens in this show. The universe that it builds is complex but undeniably interesting. There are so many characters to handle but they all have their own individual arcs that surprisingly blend together. I love the way this show gives each and every scene equal importance and the dramatic ways it chooses to present them. The voice acting is top notch and incredibly intense. Especially for a new character that appears in season 2. His character development and voice acting is so on point. The first season is just for character development and world building but the 2nd Season just used that build up to make an enthralling story.

    Quirky take on vampires

    I will admit I only picked up this series since I'm going through JOJO withdrawals (the wait for Part 6 will be hard), but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a fun vampire story with quirky characters and a beautiful rendition of nineteenth century France. The blend of fun characters, emotional themes, and storybook style motifs reminded me of my favorite anime series PRINCESS TUTU, so that's a bonus.

    The heart of the show is the relationship between Noe and Vanitas. Their interplay is delightful and the motor that retains interest from episode to episode.

    As of this writing, there has been about six episodes but they've all been great.
