    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.

    Just beautiful!

    It is a very good anime. Its really worth watching,I would say this has become one of my favorites and at first it's slightly confusing, but after a few episodes you would just want to cling to this anime it can even be called a master piece just at the level of attack on titan, that is obviously after a few episodes. It's an really really underrated anime and it would be great to watch just don't hesitate to watch this anime you would love it after a few episodes, I don't know why it has a average rating on imdb, cause I loved it and you would love it too, it is a must watch, and i think it deserves a lot more attention than it already has.10/10👍👍

    Vampires!

    Oh yes suck my blood.

    We have more and more vampires. Only from a couple of episodes in I already got Code Geass vibe from this anime. The plot was about an enigma claiming to save the vampires. The protagonist was a smart and determined man who accompanied an vampire that was still naive but starting to learn more about the world. The more I said it the more I see the similarity between the two anime.

    However, the dynamic between the two main characters were different. Here, every character had at least one funny moment, and in every funny moment is a chibi moment. As much as I enjoyed the comedy, there were vampire moments that were just a bit erotic.

    The animation was also done very well. From the first episode, I was amazed by the beautiful contrasting red and blue color. Probably the best part was when Vanitas used the power of the book. The fight scenes were also great.

    Overall, a fun anime with interesting characters and beautiful animation. 8/10.

    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.

      "Vanitas" is a term that refers to a work of art associated with the transience of life; the trademark of such a work is to contrast symbols of wealth and prosperity with symbols of death. A fitting title for a vampire story protagonist.
