| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That's natural instinct...Noe should hold himself back when it comes to blood. And what a vision he saw. The episode had both a lighthearted and darker vibe to it imo. Domi made quite an impression with that playful energy of hers. Really hope to see more of her this season and relationship with the others, especially Noe and Vanitas. |
 |
| They made well that kiss scene, and, Domi is here!! |
| they did cut too much wtf |
  |
| Are the cuts in this episode that bad? I might drop this after hearing mixed things on the cuts in this episode, it’s a shame that Jun Mochizuki adaptations always cut something. Maybe Pandora Hearts should just be left without a reboot. Putting this on hold for now. Haven’t watched the episode yet, but I need to know if the cuts are major or not before dropping. |

Putting this on hold for now. Haven’t watched the episode yet, but I need to know if the cuts are major or not before dropping. I compare it every week and they mostly cut battle scene and some explanation (This episode, they cut explanation about an ore they use in this story but maybe they will explain it later on combined about their explanation about vampire), and they cut jokes. You can still understand the story even if they cut it but maybe you should read the manga from beginning after you watch anime because I heard some people say about something not make sense because they cut it (For example, Noe was injured like getting cut, in manga it's because of Jeanne's gauntlet but they cut this scene.) Ok, it doesn’t sound too major. Wish they kept everything, but oh well. I’ll keep watching. |

| Vanitas really kissed her passionately. LOL Didn't see that one coming. She was too embarrassed as any girl would be and he wants to make Jeanne his bride. That explains it. Luca seems pissed tho. For now, Amelia's execution seems like has been postponed, so she's alright for now. Also, we learned some more things about Noe as he can read other's memories by drinking their blood. Those memories sure were quite dark. No wonder he got scared. We saw another new girl, Domi. She's beautiful and claims to be Noe's fiance even tho she's not. LOL. I like her personality. |
 |
| The fight between Vanitas and the Hellfire Witch Jeanne is ongoing, though the stakes are higher with Vanitas's true form being the Vampire of the Blue Moon to defeat the nine-folded slayer, the true criminal lurking behind this case. I find it funny that the other fellow vampire onlookers are just playing commentary to Vanitas's tricks together with Noe. The kiss scene though, kyaaa~!! Really taking everyone by surprise and begging Jeanne with trembling fear, Luca doesn't take that kindly. Sadly though, the nine-folded slayer Thomas Berneux they failed to apprehend, though the main mastermind we'll see soon with the Parade of Charlatan. Noe's full name: Archiviste "the Fangs That Lay Bare Blood", using people's blood to search for their memories, what an intrigue, and in this case, it's Amelia's memories sunk deep into the Parade of Charlatan, and memories come swindling back with fearful results. And what better way to introduce Dominique, Noe's childhood friend and sink deep into the heart of the problem. Altus Paris, the alternate Paris, start the investigation into Charlatan! I also notice that some parts of the manga were cut, though not sure if they'll resurface soon. |
 |
| The kiss between Jeanne and Vanitas kinda threw me off. Looks like Jeanne is a little bit of a tsundere. I've said this before, but the op and ed are just too good, probably not going to be skipping either through the whole season. |
| I'm propably dumb, but why did Vanitas kiss Jeanne? Was some motive behind it? |

| I can't believe Vanitas just went and kissed Jeanne. I was surprised by it. :o Noe has an interesting ability, seeing people's memory by drinking their blood. And I like Dominique already. This other Paris got my interest. |
 |
| Lmao today's ep. Going from Van kissing Jeanne, to then later...That thing, jfc that looked horrifying onestly. I do love Dominique though, what a fun introduction. |
| Well, they definitely cut a few scenes, but nothing too major except the astermite explanation. I have a few mixed feelings about that as of right now, but hopefully they won't rush scenes in future episodes. It feels as if they will definitely adapt the arc in the second cour, though. I really liked how they animated Noé's descent into Amelia's memories, and Dominique's entrance. Vanitas kissing Jeanne felt very creepy, which I think is a good thing. Honestly, I really wish I could have started with the anime since I always end up comparing the anime with the manga. I really hope that they will mention Babel and astermite later on. |
 |
| And just like that, he steals a kiss hahah. Now at last those who ask if the BL will be able to do it will finally shut up Very interesting the power of Noe 0.0 Clowns and a strange shadow, I can't with Charlatan .-. And I thought Amelia was for Noe but it looks like she has competition 😂 Hmmmm, Altus, the city of vampires.... Every episode gets more interesting |
| Domi is here! Can't wait to see Vanitas, Noe and Domi in the upcoming ball LOL |
| Finally after the kiss scene between Vanitas and Jeanne, people will no longer mistake this for Yaoi bait. |
 |
| unnecessary and pathetic the kissing scene |

OttoLannister550 said: Bruh....This was where they cut the most! And they cut the entire battle scene with jeane it was short but displayed her power... and noe+vanitas team work was great too.. Adding more content..PLease! This episode was literally a rush train. I dont get why they adapted 2.5 chapters in it when literally 1 chapter = 45 pages in this mangaWith how epic Jeanne's debut and a glimpse of her power shown in the last episode, I was expecting a good fight scene this episode. Sadly, that didn't happen as Vanitas kissing Jeanne seems to be the highlight of the episode. The pacing felt much slower than in episode 2. I don't read the manga but it feels as if they can put more content on the episode to make the pacing feels faster. Also, we finally learn a bit about the villain of this series. The Charlatan parade Noe seen on his vision looks sick and scary, I love it. |

| Entertaining episode but a mixed bag adaptation wise. Definitely a bit rough around the edges with some little details and action being cut out. Nice seeing the Jeanne kiss scene though and Dominique's introduction. I just hope the anime doesn't let down their characterization in this series as well as the others too. Visuals continue to look good which is nice. |
| hmmm not too sure about that kiss scene. maybe it was just a bit brash in execution. don't know what Vanitas was trying to do there... was also kind of hoping Jeanne would actually have a more active role but idk. I guess we'll see her again soon that ending was cool because of the new setting, but I do find it weird that were already jumping ahead. was that the end of the first arc? the visuals looked great this episode |

And yeah, the pacing in the second half was off, they cut some stuff to get it to fit. That makes sense I guess. Except they haven’t fully explained her being a slave so it still feels underwhelming + I do think she still could’ve had more impact on the plot this episode. It might just be a pacing issue though, as that whole fight scene in general just doesn’t seem like it’ll affect the story much because of the fact that we’re already going into a new arc ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Does anyone know which chapters were cut from the manga? |

They cut some things but over all the adaptation of those two chapters was nice!! Loved how they animated the kiss, I don't ship them but I am really fond of their scenes so I am glad they did it so beautifully. Also, finally Domi is here. They did her justice with her appearance. Cannot wait to see them animate the rest :'D myaoya said: SnowBrightt said: I'm propably dumb, but why did Vanitas kiss Jeanne? Was some motive behind it? Let’s say he’s just a horrible person. This is probably one of the best explanations ever. I love it. |

| Was good negotiation between Vanitas and Jeanne, that for the better or worse brought Jeanne personality out. Hopefully soon we will see Amelia in maid clothes. Know that the villain is carnival thing, makes me think how that will be. After all makes me remember of D.Gray.Man and Karakuri Circus. When Dominique appeared I was "Who is that fantastic person", but then Kreisler appeared and I was "Who cares about that lady? I need a attendant like that". |

The fight really didn't have much relevance even in the manga. The purpose of the fight was to serve as an introduction to Luca and Jeanne, explain how vampires are prejudiced against Vanitas and the book, and reveal Luca's interest in the book (and Vanitas's interest in Jeanne). It's more of a prelude to the coming arc. Jeanne gets a little more agency in that one. Oh I assumed it was supposed to be like a longer part of the story. Thanks for clearing that up |

| This anime just keeps getting more and more interesting! I'm enjoying how unpredictable Vanitas is and what a roller coaster ride the plot is with it's quick changes between humor and the darker vibes. I can't wait for next ep to see what Altus is like and why Domi wants to separate Noe & Vanitas... Sus af. Amelia's memory scene was f***ing terrifying! Charleton is hella creepy *shivers*. Noe has one truly amazing power, being able to read someone's memories like that. |
 |
| Vanitas you magnificent bastard! Absolutely no issues with bluffing and lying his way towards his goal.. and the occasional lady. Poor kid though, now he has to worry about Vanitas coming after Jeanne on top of all of his other worries :)) Hand Fetish Episode :D |
| Suddenly this adaptation seemed to be in a hurry. One who binged 2 and 3 episodes together would notice how the tables turned way too early, for skipping the fight scene. The astermite stuff can be explained later, as they already said it's name in the first episode. Otherwise, fun episode that bounces between frivolous comedy and deep darkness like crazy. Vanitas' pro gamer move on Jeanne was of course, the best part; and Noé in the distance wondering wtf was going on was hilarious. The animation of Charlatan was great tho. Sade's voice tho! We might be getting some real good voice acting the coming episodes. |

| not gonna lie I'm so sad right now, this episode wasn't by any means "bad" but it was so rushed and that's coming from someone who didn't consider the 2nd episode to be rushed and they also cut a lot of things like Jeanne and Noe fight and how he blushed when he made eyes contact with her and also when Noe draw charlatan... man, I didn't even read these chapters like from a long long time and I'm still sad thinking about how much they cut but otherwise, it was a pretty good episode but I hope that they stop with cutting scenes |
| Such a great episode. It looks gorgeous and almost every character acts as total jerk. I love that. |
DonutCloud said: I'm getting more interested about the world after watching the episode 3. People are saying here that they are rushing things oh no. Just I started to get interested in the world Except for a certain explanation (that they can very well add later, as some have already mentioned), the scenes cut aren't detrimental to the anime as a whole. It's just that for most people who has read the manga, it's likely to be disappointing when things aren't as expected. It's only natural to compare the two, after all. As an anime-only watcher, I don't think you need to be worried. The material they will be working with will most likely make it so that they'll adapt around 2 chapters per episode going forward. At least, that's my guess. |
