❤Pandora Heart❤


Anime, I would say it's one of my hobby which I'm obsessed with. You might be surprised, but I would call myself Otaku, an anime, manga and online games fanatic. One thing that I'm good at, is that I wouldn't mind staying at home for the whole day, as long as I have my anime, manga and online games to watch, read and play. Some people might feel that I have a weird interest, as a girl, but, o well, I'm just happy for being who I am.

Pandora Heart, is a manga series by Jun Mochizuki, which is also been made into an anime version.

Oz Bezariusu, heir to an aristocratic family, 'Duke of the Bezariusu family', which is on of the four great duke houses, who has just turned fifteen, live a rich and carefree life with his sister, Ada and his loyal servant, Gilbert. However, his memory was darkened only by the constant absence of his father, Zai Bezariusu. He has been staying in the 'mansion of the ceremony of adult' in order to perform the 'Coming of Age' ceremony. During his stay, Oz has been exploring the mansion of the squire with Gilbert and Ada, who is led to the sound of a mysterious music box and the discovered an underground space of the courtyard. There is a tomb where the old pocket watch with music box was placed hanging at the monument.


During the ceremony, when Oz was about to say the word of oath in front of the 'Clock Tower of Silence', which has stopped moving a hundred years ago, the bell rings. The guest of the ceremony are frozen in time and Oz is thrown into Abbys by a group of red-hooded people for his 'sin of existence'. Abbys, is said to be a different dimension of the world whereby time doesn't truly exist. It can appear to be a hell-like prison or a broken toy box. Oz is rescued by a Chain named Alice, the Bloodstained Black Rabbit, B-Rabbit. Oz managed to escape from Abbys by signing a contract with Alice. However, they are unable to return to the same time of period as the time when Oz has left to Abbys, but rather that they arrived in the future of 10 years later. The journey begins as Oz unfold the mystery of Alice's memories, the truth behind the Tragedy of Saburie that happened hundred years ago and the organization known as Pandora. Along the way, Oz reunited with Gilbert, who is his best friend and loyal servant. Break Xerxes, a servant of the Rainsworth Dukedom aslo known as Kevin Legnard for his real name, is sent by Sharon, the Lady of Rainsworth, to join Oz, Gil and Alice whenever they are off to locate the seal encasing one on Jack's body part. Jack Bezariusu is the hero of the Tragedy of Saburie 100 years ago, the one who 'defeated' Glen Baskerville and the maker of the pocket watch music box. He also appears in Alice's memories and Oz's illusion.


The story line is filled with emotion and tender moments of love and friendship besides having to grasp hold the bits and pieces of the flash back of each and every characters in order to unravel the memories of Alice and the truth behind the Tragedy of Saburie. All the characters that comes along the story have a tragic past that explains how did they ended up in their current situation. What caught hold my heart the most is the loyalty of Oz's best friend and servant, Gilbert, who remains loyal to his master, Oz, during Oz's time in Abbys even though 10 years has passed by. He sees Oz as the most important person, being protective towards Oz in every situation even if he is meant to sacrifice his life for Oz, and care deeply about little things as in the hat given by Ada. He is adopted by the Nightray family that is arranged by Break Xerxes, which he sees it as a betrayal to the Bezariusu's family, in exchange for the information of the Nightray's doings because he learns that by contracting  with the Nightray's chain, 'Raven', might give him the power to rescue Oz from Abbys.


I would say that this is a fantasy themed anime full of adventures and mysteries with cool characters and bishounen heaven.


Here's some pictures to give you a brief idea about the anime. Enjoy~
