All good things must come to an end but in Vanitas case its just begun On A side note If you are looking for long shounen fights an idealistic protagonist one objective and goal for which everyone works for and if you dislike slow burners dialogue Then drop down. This series is not for you Synopsis is already there so I am not gonna bother with it. so lets get down to it. https://images5.alphacoders.com/116/1162090.jpg Each story has different strengths. In Vanitas case its the writing style itself. The author Jun uses drip feeding technique and she is extremely talented in doing so and anyone familiar knows what I am referring to. and due to this Everything in the world of Vanitas from characters to plot and the world itself is a mystery. Dont let some common tropes mislead youThe writer is pretty famous for that Vanitas is not your typical vampire story In other words Vampires are not blood sucking parasites which is pretty common in vampire stories. Turning into a blood sucking parasite though is a huge crime. But they are still vampires so yup there are occasional blood sucking scenes. The world building is unique and is done extremely well but at the same time not entirely revealed Drip feeding. And You always learn something new while you are moving ahead in the story and that makes it intriguing to say the least. The power system of the series has to be interpreted through several hints and it is explained occasionally when it needs to be World formula theory vampire eyes and the book of Vanitas are based on altering the formula to do something and it too is quite unique. As far as comedy goes For now only its either a hit or a miss but that being said the comedy is actually good Unlike Jujutsu kaisen demon slayer or any other common shounen comedy you can think of. The author basically uses the comedic factors in order to balance the overall tone of the 1st cour/half of the story since after that its quite dark. With that being said it doesnt become overdramatic or overly emotional and is pretty much balanced. https://64.media.tumblr.com/087cd6fbbfdabb2a4bed5a350ad45e78/16f33ead2375205501/s500x750/48e60f88fadc1bfd6b64611ccf603bbc2b716c01.jpg The characters of Vanitas are very well crafted. They are not your Typical shounen protagonists or characters and majority of them including the mains are 18 or 18+ in other words it has primarily adult cast. There is no good or evil regarding them because every character has deep rooted motivations and ideologies which make them correct and their actions logical With an exception of some. The best characters being Vanitas and Noe the 2 main characters of the series. The contradicting ideologies of the 2 main characters but how they are able to work together and make each other whole makes their dynamic a treat to watch/read. Other than that the expressions and dialogues regarding the characters are extremely important. That being said the characters are a mystery and its extremely important to pay attention to their expressions and dialogues to learn about them. That gives hints to why they are like that in the first place. On a side note the chibi is all Bones original with an exception of a few scenes and make no mistake its not a BL With that being said and done And this is basically the beginning of the case or should I say the tragedy of Vanitas. What can first time viewers can expect? The plot twists havent began yet so without counting that they can expect an original story with a few tropes here and there good dynamics Great MusicYuki kaijura and a developing mystery and several raised questions waiting to be answered later on while watching or completing the first cour So considering the writing style and everything about the series i believe everyone atleast should give it a try. 800https://images4.alphacoders.com/109/thumb19201098036.jpg
