| Hoo boy, the fan artists and doujinkas are gonna have a field day with this episode lol... That said, I'm a teensy bit put off by the sudden "eroticness" in the blood-sucking scenes in these past few episodes, it just keeps catching me off guard and is agonizingly awkward to watch lmao. Hopefully things get a bit more action-packed in the coming episodes, since that's what I was looking forward to most when I started this. |
| I can't stand it anymore, I love Jeanne. Why can't I have a Jeanne in my life, God? What did I ever do? |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| I really love it when taundere is being teased. Glorious. |
 |
| This episode is very... romantique! 😍 |
| There is so much to be seen in this story but I get this feeling that we are wasting time. I want the plot to go faster XD I guess what I need is another Chapter of manga. |
| Forever hold this heart that I will give to you Forever I will live for you |
DaPlane said: I feel like the show becomes worse and worse each episode. The show has no clue what it wants to be. One episode it’s a vampire Shonen and the other it’s a romance slice of life. Then it’s a adventure story. Then it’s becomes a yaoi. The story has no direction anymore. It's more like you have no clue about what this show wants to be. Don't go on expecting every airing show carries the same template. The plot progresses at a very non-orthodox way before bursting forward. This episode showed the innocent sides of Noé, a hinted sadness of Domi, Vanitas' twisted view of love and Jeanne, a strong individual but haunted by her bourreau status and past. Plot wise, this episode is deceptively chill due to reasons you'll see in coming episodes. And where tf was yaoi? I keep reading these comments, and there's only sex in your minds, huh? |

| I super love this anime. Every episode was amazing, it keeps getting better and better. Not to mention the relationship between Jeanne and Vanitas, they are the best couple for me. Every scene that they're in makes me flutter. With Vanitas' teasing and Jeanne's blushing, it's the perfect combination hahahaha |
 |
| Tbh they could have easily adapted the meeting for this one..Felt quite slow to me and nothing important really happens here so thats another thing..However the episode and the backgrounds were good |

MugenNoShirayuki said: Well they are kinda enough to adapt the first major arc of the series and almmost catching up to the manga in other words the story has just gotten out of its intro faseDaPlane said: the plot has barely progressed and the show is more then half way done. The story needs to pick up and move forward. You can still have all these romance parts but the show focuses too much on them and not enough on what’s important. If the show wanted to take its time it would need to be longer 24 episodes isn't long enough? |

| Best episode so far, visually it was stunning all the way through! Love was the theme of the episode and in all honesty, they smashed it! Interactions between Vanitas and, well everyone else, are fucking gold. Especially the moment Jeanne took Vanitas away for an explanation on why he lied. Her blush though is not good for my heart, it's so damn adorable! To make things more complicated, we get also a moment between Noe and Domi. For some reason I loved that more than the Vanitas x Jeanne moment, but at the same time I felt pain. It's clear that Domi loves Noe but the way Noe has been looking at Jeanne this episode makes me feel sad for Domi. Unless it's Noe's way of trying to understand why Vanitas loves Jeanne, all is possible. Either way, they all do love a good sucking! This episode was horny AF. Time to go to horny jail |

The7thOne said: Is it me, or does it look like Noe is also into Jeanne? The way he stares at her while her and Vanitas are walking back to the hotel, and while her and Domi are dancing give me strong "crushing" vibes. Also, the way Domi looks sad when she sees that Noe is staring at Jeanne and not her while dancing gives me those same vibes. Well, I guess we have to wait a bit for more lovey dovey stuff since next episode looks serious. Nice, through suggestions of the episode myself, and being accustomed to Jun's writing style, I personally deduced the following. You may choose not to read it if you want to decipher the show by yourself. But again, you can stay with your deductions after reading mine. A part of Noé is a child that Domi knows, but also is concerned about (which is why she's protective of him). She also suspects he haven't got a concrete feeling of something deep as love with his innocent attitude, and is worried that either he won't recognize her love (dismissing it as platonic relationship), or fall for the charms of another woman. She already internally considers Jeanne to be a good rival which was hinted by her appreciation during the dance. On the other hand, Noé is more than just a child in the body of a hulking man. He doesn't follow any tropes, vague concepts, etc, which makes love a novel and complicated subject to him. His teacher instructed to assess Vanitas, and the people around him count too. Love seems to be a big factor in this. Considering he (at least thinks) had already figured out a part of Vanitas, he wanted to understand what in Jeanne attracts him. Both Noé and Vani found Jeanne attractive, so Noé was anticipating to see whether he'll get the same feelings looking at Jeanne (But love doesn't work that way). Noé wants to define the concept of love from ab initio - he's that type of character. Maybe this unbiased, basic approach of Noé, along with his curiosity of everything led to his teacher choosing him to assess the Book. Now the slightly unexplained things were his initial uneasiness at seeing the situation develop between Jeanne and Vani (was he feeling like he was missing something they have, like love?); and whether he felt the same "feverish" feeling when looking at Jeanne (we presume he doesn't because he tries again to have a look at her, as if confused). |

| Good episode. The focus on the more romantic bits was pretty interesting and I liked the domi and noe parts. The art looked nice as usual and I enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to next week The food looked super good too lol |

| I think this episode was fine, I already have read this chapter of the manga, and I think they did a nice adaptation of this chapter too, but made it a little off. Like in the manga we can clearly tell that Noé has something towards Vanitas, and he is just jealous because of Jeanne. But in the anime they made it looks like he has something for Jeanne ?? But that's not the case. Also I'm sad that Domi thinks Noé has feelings for Jeanne, and she is jealous too, and she will start to hate Jeanne because of this.. :( And after reading some comments, I can agree with that it really focuses on the relationships between all of them. I feel like the plot went a little down, but don't kill me because of this. We can clearly tell now that the half of Vanitas no Carte is about sexual tension so far. But later it will get better. |

| Very chill and very wholesome episode. A good moment of respite showing the relationships of the main characters so far. I truly like the art and direction for this episode, and I get to see more of Jeanne. <3 So many eyes on Jeanne today, and I love seeing her blushing face. Aahh, how wonderful! My body trembles~ Domi is a good partner for Noé although it looks like Noé has his eyes on something (or somebody) else. This episode is so romantic too. Mmm, that Tarte Tatin looks yummy. :9 |
| I'll be honest, the fact that so many people watched this episode and came away with "Noe likes Jeanne" is downright baffling. It's basically seeing the words 'red herring' and thinking you caught a whole damn fish. But oh well, somebody else has pointed out already that the situation is a bit more clear in the manga.

| That was a.... steamy episode to say the least. Still a solid one. |
| This is getting into some pretty kinky shit. Fortunately, it has some significance to the characters so that helps it not feel like fanservice trash. Pretty low key aside from that though. The comedy when they were at the table made me chuckle a few times so that was a nice change-of-pace. We’ll see how long the “Jeanne not loving Vanitas” shtick will last, because he has her completely under his thumb right now. |
| sometimes i forget how horny this show is ,i just want Domi and our boy to be together but that ant happening. at least Jeanne isn't completely won over nothing but bad news falling for Noe |
 |
| Damn this anime is horny.... in a good way. The chemistry between characters is really good. [s]I hope someone sucks my blood like that[/b] Overall a good episode, this anime might become my #1 this season. |
| The blood-sucking scenes are always erotic and sensual omg I love it yet I can't help myself from blushing lol. (〃 ω 〃) The name of this episode is love and I really like how different types/kind of love are presented. I love Domi so much. "I have zero interest in the sort of person who would love me." it was an unexpected answer. But from now on if Jeanne feels thirsty she will only suck Vanitas' blood, so... slowly but sure Jeanne will fall in love with Vanitas. What will happen then~ |

| Man, the relationship/dynamic between Vanitas and Jeanne is so weird and sometimes awkward to watch. Probably it's just me but it's like seeing a man forcefully imposing himself onto a woman who clearly feels uncomfortable with his advances. Not to mention he's now blackmailing her but well. Another OK episode. Jeanne's character has been quite the disappointment lately since all she has done is being a blushing mess but thank god Domi is still around. The love she feels towards Noé is sweet and quite passionate so I hope it's actually reciprocated because Noé constantly staring at Jeanne sure was making me feel more than nervous... |
| Holy shit, that last part of dance was gorgeous AF with those effects. |

Please, golden retriever boy when!! Indeed, people must be crazy to believe what multiple scenes directly infer. Clearly THEY are the ones at fault. See, you make it sound like that's the only possible interpretation, which it isn't. it's only one out of a few. My confusion is less so with people reaching this conclusion, and more with just how many ignored every other possibility in favour of believing it. But, like I already said, I came in with some prior knowledge which likely influenced my reading. |

It's not only you, I got the same feelings about Jeanne and Vanitas. About Jeanne, I think that I expected more from her too. As I also like Domi, Noé who seems to show interest in Jeanne made me a little worried. |
| After all the pain this was a really great lighthearted episode! I like how relevant this episode is to the current part of the manga. The show pretty much has something for everyone. For the straight romance lovers, yuri lovers and bl lovers lmao. I love Jeanne she's great. It's sad that Vanitas has no interest in someone that would fall in love with him, probably because he doesn't think too highly of himself. Really looking forward to the next episode! |
 |
| Really enjoyed this ep, I like the relationship progression of Jeanne and Vanitas. |
| Everybody wants to bone each other. Must be some wild doujins. |
| This is gender confusing sometimes gay sometimes straight! btw the ED is growing on me LMYK 4/5 |
