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.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime | Formal Recommendation for the Anime (beware, spoilers on second page.)

Tensei Shitara Suraimu Datta Ken | TenSura

I literally binged watched all 25 episodes in one day. In a matheimatical sense, 25e * 20m = (500m)/(60m per 1h) = 8.3 hours. I will tackle the OVA’s soon… ish. This anime is in my ‘will-watch-again’ bucket.

I did not notice any objectionable flaws with the way they created the anime. If the producers used 3d, I did not notice it (3d for me is a big no-no because I hate it and it looks cheap). The intro song is about 1 minute and 30 seconds (I always skipped it since it shows a lot of characters and I want to find out who they are during the show… [some characters show up really late in the series which annoys me because when I see them I wonder when I am supposed to see them in the show since they appeared in the intro, then I realize they would show up near the end, thus ruining their surprise entrance, as such I fully recommend skipping the intro until the 24/25th episode]), and the ending song I estimate is the standard length one can expect to find in an anime. There is some ‘recap’ but I skipped over them; I remember them being at least a minute.

The anime is nice, however I do not know about the manga or light novel. I initially avoided the series because the name was too long for me, and I assumed that it was a ‘cheap comedy’ – that is to say, it has no real plot and it would be waste of time. Like in many cases, I assumed wrong. It has a plot… sort of, and I cannot say that it was a waste of time. Honestly, when I had watched all 25 episodes I wanted to watch even more. Expect spoilers after this page.
