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.

Editing to give a canon appropriate unhinged review: Again, this was made for people who didn't read that manga. People got swept under the rug. Where's Antoine? Oh wait. He doesn't exist. Number 70? Never heard of them. These people don't exist anymore. Number 70 may not be important, but Antoine was. Do we need to see Veronica talk about her and Machina? In the words of Domi: "I don't want to hear my sister talk about her weird sex life." So no. But we need that moment for Antoine. It shows Domi's self esteem issues. And speaking of removing characters, what happened to Machina in Chloe's backstory? He was in a giant bear costume. It was a funny element in such a serious backstory. But what does Machina matter when Chloe and JJ have their backstory served to us like three day old leftovers with everything good picked off? Oh but thank goodness Astolfo got a backstory. AND THAT WASN'T EVEN BONES. They called in Jun to do it because they were screwing up her story so much. "Hello, Jun. We screwed up. Fix it for us, please?" Speaking of backstory, Luna. Who cares that they have no gender? Who cares that they only have their name because Vanitas gave it to them? Not Bones. In short: Non

I watched the second part of this series directly after the first, so a lot of the feelings I had initially were carried over. I felt the first half of this one did not fit with the initial plot establised in the first part/season. It was interesting, yes, but felt too long and disconnected, ignoring a lot of what was established in the first season. It was also broken up with many flash back episodes of characters that didn't necesarily add to the plot especially when they are repeated in other episodes. The second half fit much better and was more vital to the character's development and their journey and gave the season/part a bit of tention to build a decent conclusion. It also showed more of the bond that was forming between Vanitas and Noe, which was nice. In all honesty, the first half of season one and the second half of eason two would have made a more enjoyable single season, though it would have deviated quite a bit from the series which I feel would have angered many of the manga's fans but would have also opened the anime to more specials. 

Usually I would write a more detailed review, but I'm too lazy and tired at the moment, though I may update this at another time.  I just finished Part II and it was pure gold ahhhh. I enjoyed this season immensely (a lot more than the first, and I loved the first, so this says a lot), can't wait for the next part. Great character development, insane backstories, a plot that reels you in to the point that most episodes feel like they are 5 min long instead of 20 something min. I especially like how Case Study of Vanitas combines dark, serious topics and emotional backstories with light-hearted humor, causing you to feel like you're dying inside one moment but then smiling and laughing the next. Few animes could ever do this to me so easily lol. Though the OP and ED songs were not as wonderful as S1's were, they were still great. I really enjoyed listening to them and the rest of the music in the series fit so well. Yuki Kajiura's compositions never cease to amaze.  I highly recommend the Case Study of Vanitas, folks, you will not be disappointed. And, no, I don't care whether or not it follows the manga or leaves out characters, I judge animes by their individual content and not by how well it copies the manga's source material. This applies to how I judge book to film/TV adaptations as well.  - Xen

Case Study of Vanitas Season 2 Episode 20

How would you rate episode 20 of the case study of vanitas (tv 2) community score: 4.4.

The French and Japanese (English) titles for these episodes don't always complement each other, but this one is spot-on: the French, “mal d'amour,” translates to “lovesick,” while the other title is “incurable disease.” That certainly reflects the way that Vanitas feels about his emotions where Jeanne is concerned – like he's contracted the illness to end all illnesses and that his life will be forever ruined by it. (Oh, Vanitas. There's about twenty more years before that sort of thing is doomed to hit the streets of Paris. Incidentally, the mention of the Expo puts us at some point before May of 1889.) The contortions he puts himself through in trying to figure out what's wrong with him stand in very funny contrast to Jeanne's similar realization – he's having a total freak-out with Roland and Olivier at a café while she's happily stuffing profiteroles in her mouth with Luca and Dominique. For Jeanne, the realization of love is a good thing, a gentle emotion she thought she'd never be allowed to have, although perhaps “gentle” isn't the right word what with her very carnivorous approach to her beloved. But for Vanitas it seems to be something sinister, or at the very least terrifying, although why that should be we don't know.

The easiest answer would simply be that it's a distraction from what he sees as his mission and that he's more upset with himself for allowing such a thing to come between him and his work. But his reaction, funny as it is, seems to go beyond that. He's upset, but he's also frightened, as if falling for Jeanne is so much worse than anything else that could have happened to him. I feel like there must be more behind his reaction than just a successful attempt to milk it for comedy. Given what we extrapolated from the previous episode about his blue tattoo, he could simply be afraid that he doesn't have time for love, because his life's expiration date is rapidly approaching. That may be borne out by his hourglass earring as well – while I can't say for certain that it looks a bit less full on the top than it did before, there's a striking disparity between the two glasses, and it could have the same function as the lifetimers in Discworld: measuring the days of a person's life. That again would explain why the earring vanished in Chloé's closed world: with no time passing, there was no need for the hourglass. It disappeared once Vanitas entered Gévaudan and reappeared when we see him back in Paris, and I don't think that can be a coincidence – especially when we factor in the tattoo's growth.

The other piece of the puzzle could be that Vanitas is scared to care too much for anyone. We don't know what happened to his teacher or the other student(s), but we do know that for much of his adult life, Vanitas has done things alone. It wasn't until Noé that he took on a partner, and that could be because he doesn't want to lose anyone else he loves. The easiest way to avoid that is simply to not love anyone – and then Jeanne and Noé go wriggling their way past his barriers. Noé he can fool himself about a bit more easily because there are no romantic feelings involved. Jeanne is a whole other kettle of fish.

This explanation would feed very nicely into the horrible revelation of the episode's final minutes. It's mentioned in passing that a vampire has been attacking humans since Vanitas and Noé left for Gévaudan, and it didn't take a huge leap of logic to figure out that this was the next foe for the dynamic duo to take on. But in a well-done gut-punch of a move, we learn that this vampire is none other than Dominique, and she's clearly not doing it of her own free will. I'm not sure that she's a curse-bearer, because some evil small child appears to be calling the shots, and he's chosen Domi specifically because she's a line to Noé. That doesn't mean that he's not linked to Charlatan, but it would frankly be more frightening (and tragic) if he wasn't. We know Charlatan and Naenia. This kid is an entirely new brand of evil, and while we can guess that it's Noé's Archiviste blood he's after, that's by no means certain…nor does it mean that he has to keep Domi alive.

There may be more than one person's time being measured by Vanitas' dwindling hourglass, and human or vampire, not every body part can be reattached with some bandages and a sling.

Netflix's 'The One Piece' Anime Remake Reveals First-Look Concept Artwork in Major Production Update

10 one piece pirates vice admiral garp would destroy, my hero academia season 7 fails its female heroes.

A surprise hit from the Summer 2021 season, The Case Study of Vanitas takes a unique spin on the concept of vampires. Set in 19th century Paris and full of beautiful animation and steampunk gothic elements, this shonen takes a look into a world where vampires supposedly no longer have to drink blood to survive.

The story is told through the perspective of Noé Archiviste, who recounts why he had to kill his traveling partner and self-proclaimed savior of the vampires, Vanitas. Using a grimoire called the Book of Vanitas handed down by his former teacher, Vanitas uses this ancient tome to heal vampires of a blood-thirsty disease called malnomen. With  Season 2 of The Case Study of Vanitas just getting underway , here are the key points to  remember from Season 1 .

RELATED:  How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom: Everything to Remember Before Season 2

The legend of the Book of Vanitas and its former owner, Vanitas of the Blue Moon, have a horrible reputation for wanting to eradicate the vampire race. However, Noé realizes these rumors aren't true when he first encounters Vanitas while boarding an airship to Paris as he heals a curse-bearing vampire named Amelia. After realizing Vanitas is human and inherited the book from his teacher, the real Vanitas, Noé is visibly excited.

Vanitas asks to join him on his journey to save the vampire race, but Noé declines and then faints before he can leave. He wakes up in a cell next to Vanitas, discovering that Amelia had poisoned Noé. Shortly afterward, they are released and invited to meet Count Orlock, the Queen-appointed mediator between vampires and humans in Paris. He summons the two in order to prove the book's healing powers.

During their journey, the duo run into Luca Oriflamme and his protector Jeanne, the infamous vampire executioner known as the Hellfire Witch. After she admits defeat when Vanitas figures out her weakness is Luca himself, Vanitas kisses her instead of killing her. After Jeanne and Luca bashfully escape, they return to Count Orlock's office. Vanitas asks Amelia about seeing the Parade of Charlatan, entities that other curse-bearers describe seeing.

Amelia denies it, but Noé drinks her blood -- activating his power of being able to access people's memories -- and confirms she is lying. Dominique de Sade then enters the room, proclaiming she is Noé's fiancée and has heard everything. She insists Noé escort her to a masquerade ball, crossing the barrier that separates the human and vampire worlds with the goal of isolating Noé and Vanitas.

Dominique's sister Veronica tries to kill Vanitas and Noé at the ball, exclaiming that they used to book to spread the curse. She is quickly interrupted by the host of the party, Ruthven, who wants to take Noé and Vanitas under his wing. Noé faints and wakes up to find a visibly angry Vanitas at the bell tower. After a heated exchange, Noé vows to stay by Vanitas' side because he is intrigued by him and wants to see the outcome of his labor to save all vampires.

While reuniting with Ruthven, Vanitas asks to see the queen, stating she hasn't been out in public and wondering if she's even alive. Gravely insulted, Ruthven attacks Vanitas in a blind rage. Noé and Vanitas are sent back to the human world where the latter reveals he did all this to gather information about Luca, who had reacted differently than the other vampires when he made his outrageous statement.

After being kicked out of Orlock's office, Vanitas runs into his former partner Dante and tracks down a curse-bearer tied to the Church's anti-vampire unit, the Chasseurs. Vanitas and Noé go into the underground catacombs of Paris in order to find the Chasseurs and run into Roland, hellbent on saving the human Vanitas. Roland ambushes Noé upon realizing he is a vampire, but Vanitas and Noé escape using a flash bomb.

Vanitas reveals his ulterior motive of finding Moreau, a madman who was kicked out of the Chasseurs for obsessive vampire research. Moreau conducted human experiments, and Vanitas was one of them. When Roland catches up again, Noé stages holding Vanitas hostage. In a twist of fate, Roland realizes Noé is different from other vampires and asks to be friends.

The team enters Moreau's lab as he reveals he wishes to become a vampire himself. A member of the Charlatan, Mosieur Spider, appears to tell Moreau to destroy his lab. The curse-bearer they were hunting appears and is revealed to be a shadow that devours all life forms in front of him. To defeat it, Noé and Vanitas jump into the shadow's mouth and use the book. Everyone escapes in time for the lab to explode.

RELATED: How The Vampire Dies in No Time Sets Up Season 2

After Jeanne realizes she's in love with Vanitas , Dante comes with news that the Beast of Gévaudan lives and they've found five bodies. Vanitas sets off to see if it's a curse bearer or not, but Noé is distracted by his strong desire to drink his partner's blood. Vanitas tells Noé that if he ever uses his powers to access his memory, he will kill him. Nonetheless, he agrees to let Noé taste his blood as long as he doesn't use his Archiviste powers on him. The season ends with a mysterious vampire being hugged by Naenia, stating that her time for vengeance is now.

Season 1 was packed full of action and rich worldbuilding, skillfully accented by beautiful animation. Will Season 2 be able to live up to the fantastic first impression? Being one of the most anticipated anime for the Winter 2022 season , fans are hopeful.  The Case Study of Vanitas airs every Saturday on Funimation and Crunchyroll.
