Okay shit, I'm excited for this. I didn't read the manga but I did read Pandora Hearts, the author's other work and I'm still salty over how butchered the Xebec adaption was. If Bones handle this one this should come out fine.

Nice it's about time. This was a manga I was excited about years ago but I put down because I recall how terrible it was reading Pandora Hearts by the month and didn't want to go through that again. I think it's been long enough though.

 

[YuiYui]

I don't think anyone can compare to how hyped I am for this. Literally been waiting so long for either a PH reboot or Vantias adaption for so long.

Super hyped

@Zed Groupwatch when it airs right <3333

Consider the plans are set.

I have nothing to say about this because it looks legit good.

Some series just aren't readable by month. I am quite curious to see how the Vanitas anime will turn out though.

Holy shit I'm so fucking hyped.

French steampunk vampires.

You have my attention.

the way i screamed when i heard about this! im so excited!!

 

[Sailnir]

I'm stinking excited. Here's hoping it doesn't get the same treatment as Pandora Hearts. I want to see until the end!

 

[nekoangel12]

So excited, I love Jun Mochizuki's work and adore Vanitas. It has so much to offer and I hope it will be a huge hit.

yas another one of my fav series its amazing. i am hyped

 

[TheCautionBandi]

If it's Bones, we at least know the animation is gonna be good. (Plus I'll watch anything Bones puts out.)

 

[Kokorororo]

Funimation will be streaming it. Bad news for me as someone in a country that the service is not available in.

 

[knoxyal]

Ost is done by Kajiura Yuki. I’m expecting Pandora Hearts vibes.

 

[Hesperide]

The first episode was fine... nothing bad about it, but also did not really hit with as much force as it potentially could have. I do like the look of it all the same, and I am on board with the steampunk aesthetics.

Spoiler

I am interested in the take on vampires being treated like demonic entities or some such, in the sense that names hold power, and having access to one's name gives you power over them. Usually, vampires just want to run around being edgy, sparkly, or teaching you basic math, so this will be an interesting take on them from the looks of it. If they dial back the shounen stuff and push more of the everything-else-stuff this show could easily be a sleeper hit.

Ep 1:

Spoiler

Tanjirou but as a vampire? wait he is a human.

 

[randomredneck]

Spoiler

he's gonna kill the guy eventually.

The eff, show?

I understand why some authors choose to inject major spoilers at the start to make you all "oooooh, I wonder how that happens", but I just don't think it's worth it.
