Vanitas no Carte....
I don't understand why many are upset that the anime adaptation was always compared to the manga when that's exactly how everything works in an adaptation. Vnc is not an original anime so comparing it to it's manga where it came from is only natural.
So here's my take to the part 2 or more like, both parts.
Vanitas no Carte part 1 is decent same with the part 2. Not good, not bad but decent, y'know bearable to watch. Why decent? First of all, I hate the art and the animation Bones did to it. Vanitas no Carte really standouts in terms of
...
art but Bones butchered it by their horrible adaptation. Let me elaborate.
The looks of the characters. Gorgeous. That's how everyone in the manga look specially the main characters (Vanitas and Noè) and the supporting characters (Jeanne, Dominique, Luca, The dhams, Amelia, etc.). But Bones oh my god Bones did them so dirty. Yes, there are times that they look really good but there are also times that they look funny and ugly, and just not right you know what I mean? They look good in close ups but far shots? Na uh. The art is so inconsistent.
The framings. The fanservice scenes of Vanitas and Jeanne has more better framing and angles than the important scenes and fight scenes. Like, why the fuck is that? The fight scenes are short but when executed properly, it could be good fight scenes.
Next., the pacing. Horrible pacing. It's good to know that anime onlys enjoy it as it is but as a manga reader since it is first released, I hate how they make everything so fast to the point that they cutting 4 panels to speed everything up. They cut a lot of scenes, they failed to explain everything.
Do you understand the story? Do you know who are the antagonists? Do you really know every characters? Like atleast their past? or their personalities? We're in the Gevaudan arc now but I bet majority still don't know who they really are or what really are their stories.
The feelings. The manga is very dark and mysterious. It can give you chills, it can give you goosebumps. But the anime? Nevermind.
Next is the dialogues. Anime dialogues are very far from the manga it hurts my eyes, it's so annoying. Most of the times, the dialogues doesn't make any sense.
The music and sound. I don't have a problem with them. It compliments the anime theme and genre and has meaningful lyrics.
Sigh...
I didn't mean to sound rude but that's the truth about the anime. Maybe it's fine for you, but you can't deny the facts just because you doesn't have problem with it. I guess, it depends on preferences, and I prefer my favorite manga to be animated properly. The anime didn't gave any justice to the story.
Overall (4). I don't like it. It's bad. Read the manga instead.
