Pandora Hearts | My thoughts on the anime (spoilers on 2nd-page)

This kid’s name? Ummm… Oz! (I briefly forgot this kid’s name; he left that much of an impression on me.)

The voice acting is not the greatest.

It’s an old anime so there is no 3d garbage; however, because it is an old anime the fighting scenes are… compared to modern day anime… lackluster. I did watch all 25 episodes – so there’s that! 25 x 20 is… like 500 minutes… which is like 8 hours-ish. So I put up with this anime for 8 hours.

Do you believe in the power of friendship? 😀🔫 (A watergun? When did this unnessessary change happen?)

This is me when I see the ‘power of freindship’ in anime.

There are psychological aspects to this anime, I guess, but I cannot say they apply in the ‘real world’… actually since I’m watching this anime to get away from the real world that shouldn’t matter. But the ‘psychological’ aspects of this anime is so… ugh.

The opening is spoiler free so it is at least free of that sin; however, it does have characters that you will not see for ‘a while.’ Normally I just skip the opening. This anime does have a ‘recap’ moment where it briefly covers what happened in the last episode. I find that skipping to by about 2m20s is ideal for me. The ending… hmm it has characters that you do not see until like middle of the series, but these characters are not super important, so I do not know how to feel about it. Ideally, it wouldn’t include them at all, but it is what it is.

I did notice some things that should’ve been explained but they were not. They’re not like major plot holes, but I feel like the writer may have written himself in some kind of hole-avoiding-hell-scene. It feels like whenever something happens “does this mess with the lore?” gets asked and I feel frequently like it does and the writer changes something to deal with it. I’ll talk about one thing that I noticed immediately on the second-page first. So far, he hasn’t managed to write himself into a hole. However! I have noticed that characters do not mention things that they should mention until it is ‘time to mention’ them, which is annoying and only exists to move the plot forward.

There a frequent ‘flash backs’ sometimes events that happen earlier in the episode is ‘remembered’ in the same episode. I swear there was one ‘flashback’ of something that happened 3 minutes apart in an episode. ‘Flashbacks’ were overused in my opinion.
