This is a recap of the first series and a preview for the second. The recap is read by Olivier up until the preview of the second series, then he stops talking over the video. Essentially the same art style as before but looks slightly cleaner, showing improvement from the animators, rather than a typical regression that a lot of series face. They reused all of the sound effects and music from the first series with little to no alteration. The only difference seemed to be different voiceover lines. Vanitas (Quack, Kin of the Blue Moon, Vincent, No.69) - The titular protagonist.Noé Archiviste (Gilbert) - Essentially Vanitas' right-hand man!
