The Case Study of Vanitas: What Fans Can Expect From Season 2

The Case Study of Vanitas was one of the best summer anime of 2021. With the premiere of Season 2, here's what fans can expect from Vanitas and Noe.

Vampire stories in the anime world are well received and are considered a trendy genre. These stories are unique, often blending a variety genres together to craft unique fantasy stories. While names like One Piece and Demon Slayer have dominated the anime scene since last year, a surprise summer breakout vampire story managed to climb its way into the top anime of 2021.

The Case Study of Vanitas is not a typical human-meets-vampire story. On the contrary, the series is an elaborate fantasy world with elements of steampunk and gothic aesthetics topped with compelling vampire lore. The series takes place in 19th century Paris, where, miraculously, vampires can survive without consuming human blood.

In Season 1, the two leads -- Noe Archiviste and Vanitas -- set out in search of "the Beast", a rogue vampire that has been slaughtering innocent people. The duo is determined to find the one responsible for budding impurity in the vampires’ hearts. The twelve episode series immediately stuck out to anime fans, so much so that it didn’t take long to renew the series for a second season.

Fortunately, Season 2 has already begun airing, and viewers are excited to see if their fan theories will be confirmed. The Case Study of Vanitas Season 2 picks up directly. With ten episodes already released, and the tale of the Beast of Gevaudan explored in detail, the plot has begun focusing on Chloe, Jean-Jacques, and Astolfo’s backstories. Mystery still surrounds Ruthven, who failed to kill Noe, hinting at a greater conflict in the future.

The Case Study of Vanitas continues to excell in developing its characters. Season 2 has stayed devoted to developing existing cast members while introducing new characters that stay true to the gothic aesthetic. In terms of character writing, even minor cast members are able to captivate viewers and make their presence known.

That being said, the spotlight still shines on Vanitas and Noe’s turbulent friendship . However, their complicated relationship is what makes The Case Study of Vanitas so entertaining. Without any major spoilers -- the way Noe managed to rescue Vanitas and teach him how to trust again feels genuine and satisfying to the audience. Their relationship feels stronger than ever before.

Speaking of relationships, The Case Study of Vanitas has continued to hint at multiple romantic prospects amongst its cast members. Even though Vanitas and Jeanne make a promising couple, their current status is difficult to place. All in all, the second season of The Case Study of Vanitas will make an excellent watch for fans, and with how well the series has been received by audiences, many are confident for a prospective third season.

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.

Case Study of Vanitas Season 2 Episode 13-14

How would you rate episode 13 of the case study of vanitas (tv 2) community score: 4.4, how would you rate episode 14 of the case study of vanitas (tv 2) community score: 4.4.

Who was the Beast of Gévaudan? No one really knows the answer. Historical records claim that between 1764 and 1767, some sort of dog-like beast killed a large number of people in Gévaudan, France, and that King Louis XV did in fact send musketeers to hunt it down, including the one specifically named in episode 13. Because the 1760s relatively far removed from the werewolf panics of the Middle Ages, no one really questioned the Beast as being anything but a regular killer dog/wolf/hyena.

But this is The Case Study of Vanitas , so we can hardly expect it to be just a regular old canine with a taste for human flesh, can we? Especially not if Vanitas and Noé have left Paris to investigate its apparent return in the 1890s. That doesn't mean that we should have expected them to be whisked back through time to the 1760s, of course, but here we are.

As a fan of time travel stories, I think it's a very nice touch, and it certainly blurs a few more lines between what is real and what is not—are they still in the 1760s in episode 14, for example? It seems likely, since Chloé, the cursed vampire who becomes the Beast, is still able to retain her human form, but there's a lot we still don't know about the vampire aging process, cursed or otherwise. And Chloé is very, very old; Jeanne met her when she was a child, but even then the other woman was older than Ruthven even if she looked about fifteen. Her depredations as the Beast in the 1760s may have been because she couldn't control herself, but as we see with her attack on Noé this week, it's possible that she simply no longer wanted to control herself. She absolutely knows that it's wrong of her to drink Noé's blood without his consent; she just doesn't give a damn. In fact, she has to be physically removed by Jean-Jacques to stop her, indicating that if he hadn't come in, she would have kept right on assaulting Noé. She's as much a beast in human form as in animal shape.

Episode 14 is actually quite the episode for not-entirely-consensual acts upon our heroes. Noé's attacked in his sleep, and Vanitas is also treated to some forced proximity and kisses courtesy of Jeanne. The latter is arguably much less of an issue, because Jeanne is trying to save his life by getting him out of his wet, cold clothes and keeping him hydrated by kissing water down his throat, but it's also hard to say that Vanitas is in a good state of mind; in fact, he's very standoffish with Jeanne. He could be trying to be a gentleman, but I think the bigger issue is that he's feverish, poisoned, and emotionally distraught by the loss of his book. (And Noé. Probably.) He's just not in the headspace for Jeanne to suggest they lay down on the bed like some terrible blanket fic from the early 2000s, something she does realize in the light of day. But he also needs to stay alive, so this is a much trickier area, especially if we consider 19th-century medical knowledge.

What's perhaps more to the point is that Vanitas has been robbed of his book, something so important that he literally kept it chained to his body. While Astolfo bears the brunt of the guilt for the book's vanishing, what's more worrisome is that Chloé now has it. We don't understand what's going on with her enough yet to know how she could use it to her benefit, but I somehow doubt that she wants to destroy her Malnomen. It seems more likely that she'd use the book to enhance her beastly powers, and I'm not sure that Noé alone could stop her—or that Jean-Jacques would . If she's the big bad wolf, Noé is definitely Little Red Riding Hood, which also fits her attack on him; some scholars believe the tale is a metaphor for sexual assault and one early French variant even makes it clear that the wolf is, in fact, a werewolf.

Noé is in danger. Vanitas is not in his right mind. Dante has been withholding information, Astolfo is still out there, and everyone may still be stuck in the 1760s. (And if Jean-Jacques turns out to be Jean-Jacques Rousseau, I'm going to scream.) It's an eventful start to the second half of the story, so grab your wolf repellant and hang on.

The Case Study of Vanitas Season 2 is currently streaming on Crunchyroll and Funimation .
