Anime: Vanitas no Karte 1h3y23

Contrary to some claims, this show bears almost no resemblance to Hellsing—neither in vampire lore, abilities, fights, storytelling, vibe, nor overall execution. The vampires here could creatively be considered citizens of another race (not very traditional vampire at all).

As for characters, nearly all male characters—even most side characters—come across as a fusion of childlike and feminine traits. Those who initially seem more "normal" often undergo multipleinstances where they exhibit this “child-woman” behavior. There are very few exceptions to this.

The interactions feel inexperienced, as though the author lacks the finesse in this area. While comedy and “cute” art styles are often used to provide comic relief in other works, here they are overused to the point of undermining the tone.

A pretty solid action shounen with beautiful chara design that will rejoice us fujos and fudans out there. The first half was very solid to me with an interesting world design. Last episodes are a bit slower but the absolute man of a hero is always keeping the show somewhat interesting and funny.

A bit weird mash up of the characters, but they all give a really good vibe. I'd say one of the best vampire-themed animes (and without "bishonen yaoi/BL" BS) for a pretty long time with Hellsing Ultimate being closest thing to it (but still, slightly ahead in my rating :)) Jeanne-Seras is the reason, who watched - will understand. And it is also well-accompanied by the majestic Yuki Kajiura.

I highly recommend watching it and lets hope for season 2.

Good one, with all you can expect from a plot-heavy series. A lot of memorable & likeable characters, good/consistent production quality. But in the end, it's a hard task to get something in this category to sur the "great" threshold lately.

Go for it if you like Victorian era series, it's definitely managed to get the vibe and tone down. It's also has some good lighthearted moments to fill the weakness of similar series of being too one dimensionally toned.
