Pandora Hearts, I think, is a mixture of good and bad. Though it basis is the nowadays-very-cliche Alice in Wonderland, the story, per se, is unique. We've got altogether different people who create scenes of and outcomes of such ambiguity that they could not even be solved within a series (season, if ever). My favorite character? Rufus Barma.

Unfortunately, the emotional impact that satisfied me in the manga was not as strong as in this anime. All I saw was a blur of scenes that I don't even bother to rewatch. Perhaps this is also for the sake of ambiguity?

The animation is a common flaw of Enix wherein they mix very good stills with drafted ones. However, they've adapted Mochizuki's art, particularly his shadowing technique, which I think gave more impact on the scenes wherein they were used.

As a fan of Yuki Kajiura's work, I had enjoyed listening to her contribution for the OST. Particularly those tracks that feature FictionJunction. Again, it is Wakana's voice that sets the tone for their chorals.

I would generally recommend that this anime would have another season and that the omake should be watched in between episodes, for motivation.
