Here we are, the last episode of this…first part of the season. For me, it went by in a flash. There were some shows that I was looking forward to finishing but not The Case Study of Vanitas. It feels like I just started the series. You know what they say, all good things… Except…
I really love the word dato. Like I love that the Japanese have adopted the word date for romantic outings and I really enjoy hearing pronounced as dato. I think English speakers should also pronounce it that way. It sounds way more enjoyable than date night. Date night sounds vaguely menacing and sort of boring,…
It’s little wonder that Roland became fast friends with Noé and Vanitas. After all, the three of them are very similar. By that I mean they’re all dorks and potentially a little on the dense side. I guess Vanitas might be a bit sharper but I’m not entirely sure. They do make quite the three…
I can’t say that I completely understood all this formula talk in this week’s episode of The Case Study of Vanitas but it’s a concept I’ve seen in Japanese fiction before. A few times actually. The one that stands out most to me is the Tales of Vesperia game. Probably because I have spent an…
The titles of these posts are quickly just becoming whatever I scream at my TV while watching The Case Study of Vanitas that week. I think this one really hits the mark. I’ve also started to play the spot the Murr in the OP game. I think I managed to spot a Murr in every…
Don’t worry girl! It happens to the best of us. You get real excited about a party, you put on your nicest dress and spend like an hour doing your hair just to have it look exactly like it always does. And when you get there, everything is great! It’s exactly what you wanted. Then…
Yeah… I just like The Case Study of Vanitas. I read a bit further into the manga, and I have to say it’s the type of story that is really suited to an anime adaptation. Sure, the lavish and intricately detailed cityscapes are great but I’m willing to sacrifice them for the lush animation and…
Yeah, The Case Study of Vanitas is definitely my jam. Not that many of my fellow bloggers seem to be watching it. I only see a few talk about it now and then but AniList tells me it’s the 4th most popular show of the season so I’m happy. It would be a huge bummer…
Stay with me on this one. In The Case Study of Vanitas, the Book of the Blue Moon is an ancient magic grimoire that allows the user to either corrupt or find a vampire’s true name and therefore hold impressive power over them. Because to vampires, names can bind and curse them. The original owner…
I was wondering if the anime version of The Case Study of Vanitas was going to redeem Vanitas’ character a bit but nope. He’s still pretty aweful. And I’m digging the fact that the show acknowledges it. You’re not suppose to be impressed by his undehanded ploys this week. He’s just a jerk and we…
Jeanne D’Arc has got to be one of the most misinterpreted and reinterpreted characters that actually existed. I know I’ve seen a lot of versions of her in anime! And although this episode of The Case Study of Vanitas didn’t explicitly tell us who the character is, we all know, right? I mean, you put…
The actual title of episode 1 of The Case Study of Vanitas is In the Event of Rusty Hopes. I mention it because I really love this title. Rusty Hope is such an evocative expression and it’s fun to say. It’s a much better title than my post title, to be honest. Oh, In case…
I have been meaning to read The Case Study of Vanitas for years now and with the anime just around the corner, I figured I better get a jump on it and let you guys know what I think before the show starts. Ok so on a whim a few months ago I decided to…
