As an extra snipped of Vanitas no Karte inserted as a mid transitional piece between the first and the second season, it one that was not needed but one that is not easily rejected as it was not really misplaced nor most oppurtunely inserted... on paper. In the context of what is brings... flashed of the first season, keystone events, and do these tell us some shadowing on the second season. Cannot say that without spoilage but a better question is..."is it all the same?" In every aspect, no but the differences are barely noticible in quality, layout, and results of methodology of production, so thisshould be watched, by recommendation of this review as a primer for the second season of Vanitas no karted. The rating attached to this review is based on how quality is that primer in that function.
