Fans of steampunk vampire stories now have a new morsel to sink their teeth into, because an action-packed teaser trailer has been released for The Case Study of Vanitas (known in Japan as Vanitas no Karute), an upcoming TV anime based on the supernatural manga by Jun Mochizuki that follows the adventures of a young vampire and a human who team up in 19th century Paris.
The Case Study of Vanitas is directed by Tomoyuki Itamura and features animation production by BONES.
Rumors revolving around The Book of Vanitas, a clockwork grimoire of dubious reputation, draw Noé, a young vampire in search of a friend’s salvation, to Paris.
