    Strongly Recommend!

    At first I didn't really like or care for this.. as the story progressed I became more attached to the characters (as in every movie, TV show, anime, book, etc). The characters were brilliant, what really made me stay was the way there were no "super weak" "helpless" characters who were utterly useless. Another great thing was the plot in general,I love the plot. I like the way there's more than one actual goal. The characters themselves always surprised me, even during the attempt to expect the unexpected, I still was fooled most of the episodes. The story was filled with great dialogue and emotions. I really wish there was a season 2 & to be honest, I can't say much without spoiling so I'd rather not mention anything... but I will say this anime is pretty amazing.

    Loved the manga

    I'm always quit a little sad when I watch the anime because even tho it isn't bad it isn't the same masterpiece as the manga.

    I love that it has a more complexe plot than most animes, but in animation, especially fights, they could have done a lot better.

    About pandora hearts itself: I love love love Alice & Gil as well as most of the other characters. I love the plotline and remember how new it felt when watching it the first time.

    It's not like most Animes/mangas, which I really enjoy.

    Overall it is an okay adaption for the manga but simply not the one that it deserves. Even tho I love the 2000-2010 anime style, I would love to see a new anime in 2025 with quit better animation style and a better adaptation of the story line.

    A Dark Fantasy with Compelling Visuals, But Beware of Its Confusing Plot"

    Pandora Hearts, the anime adaptation of the popular manga series, offers a mix of intriguing fantasy elements and a complex narrative. With its dark and mysterious atmosphere, the series initially captures your attention. The animation and art style are visually appealing, bringing the unique characters and their intricate designs to life.

    The story, however, can be quite convoluted and difficult to follow at times. The plot twists and turns frequently, leaving viewers bewildered and struggling to piece together the overarching narrative. Additionally, the pacing can feel uneven, with some episodes dragging while others rush through important plot points.

    While the main characters are well-developed and have their own distinct personalities, the large ensemble cast can be overwhelming. Some characters don't receive enough screen time or development, leaving them feeling underutilized and lacking depth.

    Despite its flaws, Pandora Hearts does have its strengths. The soundtrack sets the mood effectively, enhancing the emotional impact of key scenes. The series also explores thought-provoking themes such as identity, fate, and the consequences of one's choices.

    Overall, Pandora Hearts is an anime that will appeal to fans of dark fantasy and intricate storytelling. However, the complex plot and uneven pacing may deter some viewers. If you enjoy diving into intricate narratives and don't mind investing time in unraveling a complicated storyline, Pandora Hearts might be worth a watch.

    Good characters and music, bad plot

    I have to say that if you watch this series then be prepared to have not all questions answered. So the short version is this: imagine alice in wonderland gone wrong and its an anime. The characters are well defined, the music is great, but the plot is loose like a bridge without support beams. I think the creator of the show was so sure that this would get a second season but half way through the series they realized that wasn't going to happen and so they had to squeeze all the plot lines into the last 13 episodes which as you can guess causes some problems. It tried to do to many things at once. I will say that the silver lining is that I feel they tried to focus more on character building than plot which is definitely the show's strength.
