Vanitas no Carte anime watchers

About Vanitas no Carte and anime-only viewers complaints of a slow show with no plot… What have you been watching? (no offense;)

I think the story gives out clearly at the start what is going to do? It’s a character-driven mystery about vampires so of course you’re going to learn the plot and world bit by bit as you learn about the characters; I can understand how it may be slow or difficult to follow for some people but as someone who thrives in more long stories that take their time to unravel…. (and who demand certain intellectual engagement, bc if not then I can get bored quickly with whatever is happening in it) I love the way it VnC makes you think and analyze the dialogue and foreshadowing.

The first season is like prologue + start of the first act of the story so you have to exercise trust on the author to see how it goes, and it may be slow? Compared to one season fillers, the manga of this anime is on the way to have 100 chapters or even more compared to the progress of the story and Pandora Hearts, Jun Mochizuki previus’ manga. So of course it takes its time, although the anime went way faster than it should by some parts; a first season of 13-15 episodes would have done the story more justice, but I think the anime nonetheless manages to capture the mood and the principal stuff quite well and compellingly.

Sigh. Well I expect by season 2 people will have learnt, read the manga or just dropped this altogether if it isn’t their shonenish-moeish cupe of tea.
