Short Synopsis: Oz attends his coming-of-age ceremony
Episode Rating: 8/10 (Excellent)
Well, well; it’s been a while since I accidentally deleted my own post before publishing it. At the moment I don’t feel like retyping everything again for a second time, but I do want to say that Pandora Hearts is promising to be good stuff, especially since the second episode was even better than the first. The thing it reminds me of the most is a 20th century fairy tale gone really dark.
It’s good to finally see another potentially great show from Xebec. They’re a strange production company: quite a few of their shows… fail to really impress (Heroic Age never really went anywhere, not to mention last year’s To Love-Ru and Kanokon), but at the same time they really hit the right marks for me with The Third, and some other excellent shows.
Hahaha. I’m glad to see that you’re liking it. The way you put it- a fairy tale gone dark- is extremely accurate, and put very nicely. There are a lot of “gothic” elements of Pandora Hearts, and the characters’ increasing complexities further intrigue the intricate plot. 😀 As for the manga, sadly, only very few chapters have been scanlated, but from what I have seen on the raws, it keeps getting better and better. 😀
I love the manga, it’s really dark and have a good horror fantasy feel and many mysteries…well I have to say I’m a bit disappointed that Xebec do it. Coz I hope for a much more graceful graphic than this coz the manga is pretty cool, at first I think of some like Madhouse doing it. Anyway, it’s enough just to have someone doing it, I guess.
