In a world where vampires don’t shine but are just as lustful, The Case Study Of Vanitas Season 2 promises just as much if not more bedlam than the first season. Let’s check out the latest season of the show in this review!

The Case Study Of Vanitas Season 2 Overview

The Case Study of Vanitas , or Vanitas no Carte in original Japanese, is a supernatural, historical, and vampire show based upon a manga written by Jun Mochizuki. It follows the human-vampire duo of Vanitas and Noe as they try to find out the perpetrator behind the recent impurity in the vampires’ hearts. This season is also called Vanitas no Carte Season 2 , The Case Study of Vanitas Part 2 , and Vanitas no Carte Part 2 .

This season of Vanitas was brought to the medium of anime by Studio Bones, a giant behind classic anime shows such as Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and My Hero Academia . The season is being directed by Tomoyuki Itamura, who also directed part 1 of the show, alongside several shows of the Monogatari series. We covered this series episodically, and you can check out those reviews here for revisiting purposes!

The Case Study Of Vanitas Season 2 Review- The Plot

Watching the second season of Vanitas was an exercise in frustration for a variety of reasons, the most annoying of them being just how much potential was wasted. While the first season was in no way perfect, it set up an extremely interesting world with a variety of dynamic characters and even better relationships. All the second season, or part, had to do was continue doing just that, and it was going to be great. It did do some of that, and the latter half of the show was extremely engaging television, but the former half went a bit awry.

That particular half told the tale of the Beast of Gevaudan, and it was the most befuddling and confounding piece of storytelling to ever come out of this show. Not only was it horribly paced, but it felt wholly unnecessary for the story the show set out to tell. It felt like a filler arc in a show that had caught up to the manga and was just trying to pass the time until there was more canon to cover. It did not benefit any character involved in it and acted as a stopgap to the more interesting part of the show.

While the stories of Chloe, Jean-Jacques, and Astolfo were fine ones to tell, they were too convoluted and paced sluggishly across 8 glacial episodes. Vanitas and Noe didn’t feel as involved as they should have, and even Jeanne, who should have played a much more important role, didn’t get her moment in the sun. The arc also failed to answer any questions the viewers already had and only raised new ones that will take a good while to be answered. All the different factions coming together in this arc and the sheer number of characters involved in it also felt like a cluster instead of what the show was going for.

On the other hand, the second arc, which sadly lasted way shorter than the first, was exceptionally entertaining and the best the show has ever done. It went into Vanitas’ past for the first time, and the wait was worth it. It was every bit as emotional and devastating as most people imagined it to be and introduced one of the best characters in the show so far. The action and comedy here were on point, and it made use of the unique and fantastic dynamic between Vanitas and Noe perfectly to deliver a masterclass of a finale. The inconsistency was real in Vanitas Part 2 .

The Case Study Of Vanitas Season 2 Review- The Characters

This is where the strength of Vanitas lies, and the show did not disappoint on this front. Alongside the characters that we all know and love, the show also introduced several new ones, most of which were solid fundamentally and made sense within the context of the show’s universe. While this may seem the opposite of what was said in the plot section, the problem with those characters lies within their usage and not their existence.

Chloe D’Apchier was a great tragic character, and she and Jean-Jacque formed an interesting dynamic that wasn’t explored very well yet still remained a highlight of the episodes it featured in. Astolfo’s character felt unnecessary in that arc and was yet another participant in an already convoluted and packed to the brim plotline. They still weren’t a bad character and had a unique personality. Some other minor characters like Roland also made their presence felt in the entire season, and their presence, while limited, was highly entertaining.

The second arc introduced Misha and the Vampire of the Blue Moon, and they both can stake a claim for the highlight of the entire season. Misha was a wonderfully written and well-designed antagonist that could unfurl Noe and Vanitas’ psyche in a manner no one else could before. The Vampire was a highly anticipated sight and one that was executed wonderfully. Dominique, Noe’s childhood friend, also had some backstory which was well done.

However, the highlight of Vanitas Season 2 and the entire show were Vanitas and Noe, and both of them tore the house down in the latest season. Vanitas was able to switch from serious to comedy within a heartbeat, and Now was the perfect companion to his antics. Them not being together was also a big reason for the Gevaudan arc not being as good, but the latter episodes made up for that with the phenomenal confrontation between the two. Vanitas and Jeanne also make for a great couple, but the romantic situation in this show is weird so let’s leave it at that.

The Case Study Of Vanitas Season 2 Review- Animation and Music

The show looked and sounded nothing short of amazing throughout the 12 episode runtime of Vanitas Part 2 . Bones is a reputed studio with a huge legacy of fantastic shows, and Vanitas looks like its pedigree. The frames are extraordinarily detailed in some scenes that call for them and animated just enough to get the comedy right in the others. The show gets the balance of the two right and is a treat to your eyes as well as your funny bone.

The music and art style both get the era the show depicts to a tee, and the wonderfully periodic setting comes out looking and sounding pristine. The classical piano songs that the show jazzes up and key-changes sound angelic. The opening and ending themes are also great just like they were in the first season, making a case for The Case Study Of Vanitas Season 2 being as high quality as anything currently on our screens. The show has caught up to the source material, and don’t expect a Vanitas Season 3 anytime soon, no matter how sad that thought is.

The Case Study Of Vanitas Season 2 was a highly entertaining watch that was dampened a little by weak pacing and convoluted plot threads. The ending raised the bar for the show significantly, and the wait for a follow up is going to be depressing.

The Case Study of Vanitas is delving into one of France's most infamous urban legends with the release of a trailer for Part 2's "Beast of Gevaudan" Arc.

Aniplex posted a video to YouTube to promote the return of the gothic fantasy shonen anime, letting fans take a peek at the latest events of the series. Set in the rustic French countryside of Gevaudan, Vanitas and his companions arrive to investigate sightings of a dangerous beast terrorizing the surrounding villages. Chloe d'Apchier, who was last seen in the ending scene of Part 1, also makes a brief appearance in the trailer, alongside the animated debut of characters such as Astolfo Granatum and Jean-Jacques Chastel.

The Beast of Gevaudan is actually an infamous legend of French origin, stemming from a series of grisly events that occurred in the area around modern-day Lozere.  While  The Case Study of Vanitas's  reimagining of the beast will likely take some liberties concerning its origins, it appears that certain aspects of the monster's design were based on some of the real-life rumors that spread during the time-- such as the beast's black line atop its reddish coat of fur and its wolf-like features.

The Case Study of Vanitas  is based on a manga written and illustrated by industry veteran Jun Mochizuki, who is also known for her other work,  Pandora Hearts . The ongoing series began publication in 2015 on Square Enix 's shonen magazine,  Monthly Gangan Joker , with nine volumes released as of June 22, 2021. The story revolves around the titular Vanitas , a human who considers himself a doctor for vampires, who owns the legendary  Book of Vanitas . With him is Noe Archiviste, a vampire who hopes to help Vanitas complete his research into a cure for Malnomen, a mysterious disease capable of driving vampires into a feral frenzy.

The anime adaptation was produced by animation studio Bones ( Mob Psycho 100 ,  My Hero Academia ) and began airing in July 2021, under the direction of  Monogatari  series veteran Tomoyuki Itamura. It received a positive reception from its audience, with fans praising its subtle characterization, masterful soundtrack and engaging dialogue.

The Case Study of Vanitas  Part 1 is available for streaming on Funimation and Hulu. Part 2 is scheduled to begin airing in Japan on Jan. 14, 2022.

The Case Study Of Vanitas Part 2 - What We Know So Far

On Aug. 6, the English-dubbed version of "The Case Study of Vanitas" arrived at Funimation's website , bringing the steampunk-styled supernatural mystery manga series to life for a whole new audience. The vampire -based anime, set in Paris of the 19th century, is very atmospheric, what with its airships, period clothing and blue-moon and crimson vampires. It starts with the young vampire Noé, who is asked by his teacher to go to Paris to look for the titular book. In an incident on the airship, he meets a girl named Amelia — who turns out to be a vampire named Florifel, who just needs her name returned to her — and blue-eyed Vanitas himself. Vanitas enlists his help in changing the "curse-bearing" vampires back to normal using the grimoire in question. 

"The Case Study of Vanitas" has aired 12 episodes of its split-cour season, which is normal for anime shows — but now leaves fans to wonder when Part 2 will happen, and what will happen going forward, since the series hasn't exactly concluded its plot. If you're one of the fans anxiously awaiting news of the second part of the first season, here's what we know so far.

When is the release date for The Case Study of Vanitas Part 2?

The @vanitas_anime Twitter account announced on Sept. 17 that the second cour (or quarter of a year) of "The Case Study of Vanitas" is coming in January 2022. This is good news, as it means fans won't have too long to wait:  Anime News and Facts is reporting that the 12 episodes in the second part of the split-cour series will air between Jan. 8 and March 26, 2022. It should be noted that these dates refer to the Japanese release, not the English one. 

However, English-speaking fans shouldn't experience too much of a delay. The initial Japanese run premiered on various channels starting July 2 ( via Anime News Network ), which means it was subtitled with the first episode dubbed by the time it released on Funimation a little over a month later. Comingsoon.com said that Funimation had released five dubbed episodes by September 17 (a paid subscription is required to access the dubbed versions of newer episodes). 

Hopefully, that means U.S. fans will be streaming at least a subtitled second part of Season 1 by springtime.

Who are the characters in The Case Study of Vanitas Part 2?

The main characters of the series include Noé Archiviste, played in the Japanese by Kaito Ishikawa, and Vanitas (not the original of the book), played by Natsuki Hanae. Supporting characters include Jeanne (Inori Minase), a vampire girl also called the "Hellfire Witch"; Luca (Shino Shimoji), a polite vampire boy ranking just below the queen, who is trying to save his brother; Dominique (Ai Kayano), the aristocratic daughter of the alien lord the Marquis de Sade; Veronica (Yoko Hikasa), Dominique's sister who hates humans; Ruthven (Toshiyuki Morikawa), Luca's uncle and the hero who brokered peace between humans and vampires. 

Others include Dante (Taro Kuichi), Johann (Koji Yusa), and Richie (Riho Kuma), Vanitas' information brokers, and Noé's unnamed teacher (Akira Ishida), the one who sent him to find the book. Vampire Naenia (Kaori Nazuka), vampire hunter Laurent (Kengo Kawanishi), Holy Knight Olivier (Tomoaki Maeno) and Noé's first friend Louis de Sade (Miyuri Shimabukuru) also appear. There's also the cat, Murr (Miyu Komaki). Not all have survived Season 1, though, so they won't necessarily appear in Part 2.

The English dub cast of the series includes Stephen Fu as Noe, Zeo Robinson as Vanitas, Marianne Bray as Murr, Ian Sinclair as Dante, and Hayden Daviau as Amelia. 

What is the plot of The Case Study of Vanitas Part 2?

As the first part of the first season ended, the Beast of Gévaudan has resurfaced, so Noé and Vanitas go to investigate sightings of it. The beast will likely figure largely in the events of the second part of the season, as will Vanitas' relationship with Noé. Viewers may also finally learn the intentions of the secret organization Charlatan because of the big reveal in the end-credits scene. As viewers know, Ruthven figures largely in the plotting that's been going on, and he has hypnotized Noé with Jeanne's unwitting help, which could all blow up in Part 2. Meanwhile, Roland is going through a crisis of faith because he has learned that not all vampires are bad, and the show will no doubt explore the ramifications of that.

"The Case Study of Vanitas" will feature 12 episodes in Season 1 Part 2, making up a total of 24 episodes in the first season. The anime has been rapidly catching up to the manga:  Monsters and Critics predicts that by the 24th episode, the anime will be up to Chapter 43 of the manga. The manga is expected to publish Chapter 61, which means season 2 might be a more difficult sell than the first.
