QUICK TAKES

right off the bat, a quick pace for the first episode, setting up the world and the duo. Animation looks stunning with the airship. Duo's first meeting is chaotic and fun, really loved it. And then the tone mixes mystery, action and humor.

That airship opening just hits—Noé’s calm POV flips instantly when Vanitas barges in like chaos incarnate. Slight info overload early, but the style, mystery, and energy grab you fast and don’t let go ✈️

The first episode sets the tone really well. The airship scene felt tense, and Noé meeting Vanitas was interesting. Vanitas acting strange but confident makes you curious. Good start with mystery and light humor.

A stylish and intriguing opener that throws you straight into its steampunk Paris setting. The chemistry between the leads is instantly engaging, and the visual flair stands out. It feels confident right away, making it easy to get pulled in.

It’s a very strong opening for the series. It introduces the main characters and immediately establishes the core theme of "vampire exorcism/curing" It’s great how the episode manages to present the characters, the stakes, and the lore all at once, showing solid direction. The concept of "vampire exorcism/curing" feels fresh, and it’s delivered with a good mix of comedy. I’m excited to see more of Vanitas and Noé.

I love how they show and introduce the characters in the story. It's not the usual slow paced introduction but somehow can be described as "bang!"

EPISODE CONTEXT

As the season premiere of a 12-episode run, this episode shoulders the full weight of establishing the world, core characters, and the central enigma surrounding the Book of Vanitas. It introduces the Noé-Vanitas dynamic that will anchor the entire season's conflicts and alliances. The groundwork laid here feeds directly into episode 2, 'In the City of Flowers,' where the mysteries of Paris's vampire society begin to deepen considerably.
