"The Case Study of Vanitas" is a manga by Jun Mochizuki, set in 19th century France, depicting the relationship between vampires and humans. Despite its serious worldview, it is popular for its comedic elements created by its unique characters. The anime aired in July 2021, with the second season scheduled for January 2022. We're sure many people will want to watch the first season again before the second season airs. In this article, we'd like to introduce some video streaming services where you can watch the series for free!
If you want to watch for free, VOD is recommended!
"The Case Study of Vanitas" is available on a variety of video streaming services. They range from those that cover a wide range of genres, including movies and variety shows, to those that specialize in anime. There are also free viewing periods, so you'll want to make the most of them to suit your needs. In this article, we'll introduce five particularly recommended VOD services!
Illegally uploaded videos are prohibited!
While videos are available on official video streaming services, there are also websites where videos are uploaded without permission. The videos on such sites are, of course, illegal, and uploaders are subject to criminal penalties. In the past, a man in his 50s was arrested for illegally uploading videos of the hit movie "Your Name." Incidentally, simply watching illegal videos does not necessarily mean immediate punishment. However, whether or not you knew the video was illegal—that is, whether it was intentional—can be a determining factor in whether or not you will be punished. As soon as you realize something is illegal, stop watching it.
For those who just want to watch the first episode, check out "Niconico Douga"
Many people prefer to watch the first episode before deciding whether to continue watching. Niconico Douga allows you to watch the first episode of many anime for free. "The Case Study of Vanitas" is also available on Niconico Douga, and the first episode is still available. You can also enjoy the show by reading other viewers' impressions using the comment feature. However, some comments may contain spoilers. Some people feel that revealing important details like the punchline or the identity of the mastermind makes the show less enjoyable. If you don't want spoilers, we recommend watching with comments hidden the first time, and then enabling comments from your second or subsequent viewings.
Amazon Prime Video
Amazon Prime Video is a video streaming service provided by Amazon. In addition to anime, it offers a wide variety of programming, including movies, variety shows, dramas, and documentaries. It also offers original programming, with comedy-related original programs being particularly popular and offering a rich selection of content. There is a 30-day free trial period, after which a monthly fee of 500 yen will be charged. However, some titles may require a separate PPV (pay-per-view) subscription.
dAnime Store
As the name suggests, this is a video streaming service specializing in anime. It offers a comprehensive lineup of over 4,000 anime titles. The free trial period is 31 days. At ¥440 per month, it's a great value compared to other VOD services. Please note that not all titles are available for unlimited viewing with the monthly fee; some titles may require PPV. Before signing up, we recommend checking whether the anime you want to watch is available for just the monthly fee.
Hulu
Although Hulu is a video streaming service originating from the United States, it has long been a popular VOD service in Japan, with many users. In addition to anime, it also has an excellent lineup of foreign dramas, making it especially recommended for fans of foreign dramas. The free trial period is 14 days, and the monthly fee is 1,026 yen. While this may seem a bit expensive, the benefit is that there are no PPV titles and you can watch everything you want.
U-NEXT
This VOD service offers over 140,000 titles, making it the number one service with the most titles available. It also offers e-books, so it offers a wide range of content beyond just videos. There's a 31-day free trial, and the monthly fee is ¥2,189. While this is more expensive than other VOD services, it's a reasonable price considering the number of titles and genres available.
