Pandora Hearts

Alright, so this was one of the anime I got recently. I actually just finished that anime. Now that my parents aren't here - I'm not saying it's better without them - I got it down pretty fast, especially since I was fastforwarding the clips. The subs were flashing along the clips as I fastforward-ed it, so it helped.

Anyways, this anime starts off with young 15-year-old Oz Vessalius - the heir to one of the four main Duke houses in the said anime (the others being Rainsworth, Nightray and Barma) - attending his coming-of-age ceremony. Towards the end of the ceremony, though, some people cloaked in robes threw him into the space they called the "Abyss". There, he meets the Alice - also known as the Bloodstained Black Rabbit or simply just B-Rabbit - who saved him in the nick of time for him to not get eaten by what were called "Chains". 

In actual fact, Alice was also one of those "Chains", but she was different. For one, she could assume her human form, unlike other Chains who only look like screwed up dolls.

Yeah~

That aside, not long after being dumped into the Abyss, the two of them manage to get back out into the real world. Little did they know they were going to be deeply involved with an organization called the Pandora and at the same time, recovering lost memories, strengthening bonds, and fighting a heck of a lot of Chains.

A lot of terms are used in this anime, such as "Chains", "Contracts", "Will of the Abyss", "The Four Great Dukedoms" et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 

The concept of it all is interesting. I enjoyed the most of it. There were hints of romance between Alice and Oz (thank God), and even between Oz's sister, Ada, and his servant/childhood friend, Gilbert - Gil, for short. There are, of course, elements of humour as well. 

However, the ending was questionable. For the most part, it wasn't really finished. It didn't end properly. They never found the Will of the Abyss, they never fought Glen Baskerville - heck, we didn't even see him - and quite a lot more mysteries were unsolved in the anime.

Nonetheless, reasonably good. Now, for the seiyu, be prepared :P
