Before I start my review for this week’s episode of The Case Study of Vanitas, I would like to give you a visual representation of one of my favourite moments in the episode, and really an idea of one of my favourite aspects of the show in general. Just to get you situation, all hell…
Hi Irina! Here we are at the weekend again and I am glad we are discussing this series yet again. Its so much fun and just continues to be adorable. Hi Scott, I hope this weekend was better than the last! How are you feeling this week? I saw that you’re getting ready for the […]…
There are a lot of alternative titles for this mang. My Love Mix-Up! is what’s on AniList and how you’ll find it at RightStuf. The original title is Kieta Hatsukoi. I’ve also seen it as Faded First Love and Vanishing My First Love, both of which sound way too dramatic for this story. In any…
It seems that My Dress-Up Darling is leaning into its ecchi source material every 3 episodes or so. I don’t remember if that’s just accurate to the manga or an adaptation quirk. I seem to recall a more even distribution. Then again, when you’re reading, it’s not always obvious where an episode would end. I…
I’m just going to lay it all out. I have enjoyed The Case Study of Vanitas since episode 1. I think it’s a surprisingly good show with an adaptation that outdoes the source material, or at the very least, brings out the best of it. But this arc elevates the whole. The Beast of Gévaudan…

Hi Guys, I’m taking over hosting duties this week because Scott is having a very busy weekend. Hi Scott, I hope you still had a bit of time to unwind over the weekend. I know how exhausting it can get when you come off a long week just to have to work and do chores…
Can you believe that My Dress-Up Darling is already one-third of a way through the season? Seems like it just started yesterday, right? I’m thinking that the anime will remain a lot more PG than the manga. That’s just fine by me. I find that the adaptation is doing a great job at highlighting the…
Once in a while, The Case Study of Vanitas plays it straight. Not often, but there are moments that feel earnest. Glimpses of actual sincere drama where the show explores the inevitable pain all these characters have gone through. Well, not Noé. He seems to be able to reset to blissfully glee in minutes regardless…

Hi Scott. I hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable Sunday! I did. We’re finally getting an actual winter here and it’s a bit nippy. I’m really happy about that. It was so unseasonably warm that I was starting to get worried we’d just be skipping the winter coats this year. I mean that’s just…

Hello one and all, welcome back to my weekly My Dress-Up Darling post! I did notice a few people starting to get less enchanted with episode 2 of the show. I was sort of expecting this. I do know that not everyone is a fan of this genre and the premiere was a bit tamer…
You may not believe this but I have a number of friends who refuse to watch The Case Study of Vanitas no matter how much I assure them they will love it. Which once again makes me think that reviews may just not be my strong suit. And to them, I say…you guys are missing…
