"I'm not too fond of people who go around proclaiming justice. No matter what the motive or situation, if there are humans involved, there is no such thing as black or white, justice or evil. The only thing that exists is our will." Oz Vessalius

Greetings @theanimerealm community, today I want to share with you an anime that I loved and that unfortunately they did not give continuity to the animated story, only in the manga, which by the way I finished reading. The narration and the drawing of it, really attracted me, although it is sad, but very good.

The story focuses on little Oz Vessalius, heir to a great duchy, who has lived with the absence of his father. At his 15 years old ceremony, he is banished to the Abyss, by some mysterious people, who claim that it is a punishment for committing a terrible crime. The Abyss is a mysterious and dark dimension governed by the Will of the Abyss; it is also the place where the chains dwell, creatures with different forms and powers that are brought to the world of humans through a contract.

In the abyss, Oz manages to make an illegal contract with a special chain, known as B-rabbit or Alice, a chain in the shape of a large black rabbit that carries a scythe, but also changes to the appearance of a young girl. It should be clarified that, when making an illegal contract, a clock tattoo is marked on his chest, where he marks his time limit, because every time he uses the power of the chain, he will be sent to the abyss forever.

Both manage to get out of the abyss, but to their surprise 10 years have passed, because time in the abyss itself does not exist. Therefore, both his friends and family have changed, but not only that, many secrets will be revealed with the arrival of B-rabbit, unleashing a dark and cruel past for our protagonist and all his allies, where he will see that not everything is what it seems and who you least believe, can become your worst enemy, hidden in a tragedy.

Pandora Hearts inspired by the tales of Alice in Wonderland, through the looking glass and what Alice found there, as well as the Wizard of Oz, among others, Mochizoku brings us a story shrouded in mystery, which does not let you guess what will happen next. A sad plot full of tragedies that, at first you would think have no coherence, but then everything fits together so perfectly that you can see how calculating the author is.

You will find a lot of characters, with distinguishable personalities that, somehow, will be connected in a way that one would least believe. Basically, the story is a puzzle and I feel that this is something that identifies the mangaka very well, I must point out that I love the way she draws and paints in watercolor, she has her unique and beautiful touch, although her stories have a somewhat complicated journey.

It is not at all a cheerful and optimistic story, but it has its charming touch, which manages to play with the viewer's emotions. I love the Victorian costumes and setting that make you relate it even more to Alice in Wonderland. Although the beginning may seem a little slow, it becomes extremely intriguing as dark secrets are revealed, which will surprise you little by little and, above all, do not get attached to any character.

"No me gusta demasiado la gente que va por ahí proclamando justicia. Sin importar el motivo o situación, si hay humanos de por medio, no existe lo blanco ni lo negro, justicia o maldad. Lo único que existe es nuestra voluntad." Oz Vessalius

Saludos comunidad de @theanimerealm, hoy les quiero compartir un anime que me encantó y que lamentablemente no le dieron continuidad a la historia animada, solo en el manga, que por cierto lo termine leyendo. La narración y el dibujo del mismo, realmente me atrajeron, aunque es triste, pero muy buena.

La historia nos centra en el pequeño Oz Vessalius, heredero de un gran ducado, quien ha vivido con la ausencia de su padre. En su ceremonia de 15 años, es desterrado al Abismo, por unas personas misteriosas, que dicen afirmar que es un castigo por cometer un terrible crimen. El abismo es una dimensión misteriosa y oscura gobernada por la Voluntad del Abismo; es el lugar donde también habitan las cadenas, criaturas con formas y poderes diferentes que son traídos al mundo de los humanos a través de un contrato.

En el abismo, Oz logra hacer un contrato ilegal con una cadena especial, conocida como B-rabbit o Alice, una cadena con forma de conejo grande y negro que porta una guadaña, pero que también cambia al aspecto de una joven chica. Se debe aclarar que, al hacer un contrato ilegal, en su pecho se marca un tatuaje de reloj, donde se va marcando su tiempo límite, pues cada vez que use el poder de la cadena, este será enviado al abismo para siempre.

Ambos logran salir del abismo, pero para su sorpresa han transcurrido 10 años, pues el tiempo en el abismo mismo no existe. Por lo tanto, tanto sus amigos y familiares han cambiado, pero, no solo eso, muchos secretos serán revelados con la llegada de B-rabbit, desatando un pasado oscuro y cruel para nuestro protagonista y a todos sus aliados, donde lo hará ver que no todo es lo que se aparente y quien menos se cree, puede llegar a ser tu peor enemigo, escondido en una tragedia.

Pandora Hearts inspirada en los cuentos de Alicia en el País de las maravillas, a través del espejo y lo que Alicia encontró allí, además del Mago del Oz, entre otros, Mochizoku nos trae una historia envuelta en el misterio, que no te deja suponer que es lo que pasará después. Una trama triste y llena de tragedias que, al principio pensarías que no tienen coherencia, pero luego todo encaja tan perfectamente que, logras ver lo sumamente calculadora que es la autora.

Encontrarán una gran cantidad de personajes, con personalidades distinguibles que, de algún modo, estarán conectados de la manera en que uno menos cree. Básicamente, la historia es un rompecabezas y siento que es algo que identifica muy bien a la mangaka, debo acotar que me encanta como dibuja y pinta en acuarela, tiene su toque único y hermoso, aunque sus relatos tienen su travesía un tanto complicada.

No es para nada una historia alegre y optimista, pero tiene su toque encantador, que llega a jugar con las emociones del espectador. Me encanta esa vestimenta y escenario a la época victoriana que te hacen relacionarla aun mas a Alicia en el País de las Maravillas. Aunque el inicio puedas parecerles un tanto lenta, se vuelve sumamente intrigante a medida que se van revelando secretos oscuros, que te van sorprendiendo poco a poco y, sobre todo, no dejarse encariñar por ningún personaje.

›Review: Pandora Hearts (manga)@airiam2477d

Time for a personal favorite.

Unlike its anime adaptation, whose sole good point is the Opening and the OST made by genius Yuuki Kajiura, Pandora Hearts manga is an amazing work and worth the hype.

It goes like this:

"Young lad Oz Vessalius is a flirty, easygoing nobleman who is to succeed his uncle as head of the Vessalius Dukedom. The story basically starts during Oz’ coming of age ceremony, introducing him, his friend/servant Gilbert and two more major characters, Sharon Rainsworth and Xerxes Break.

The ceremony is, however, crashed by a group known as the Baskervilles who are able to control monsters knows as ‘Chains.’ It ends with Oz being thrown in a place known as “The Abyss”, but he’s able to escape after forming a contract with a girl named Alice; he comes back, but it’s been years since his coming of age ceremony.

From there on, he discovers that Gilbert was adopted into the Nightray family and the Four Great Dukedoms (Vessalius, Nightray, Rainsworth and Barma) founded an organization called Pandora, whose goal is to take care of illegal contractors (category in which Oz is unlucky enough to fall), monitor chain outbreaks, unravel the mysteries surrounding the Abyss and stop the Baskervilles from resurrecting their lord."

Despite all the info drop I just did, trust me when I say I’m telling you nothing, haha. That’s just the premise, not the actual plot surmised.

Also, if the formerly stated didn’t give you a hint, then I’ll just get to the point: PH is not a happy story. Don’t be fooled bit the occasional comedy bits and lighthearted moments in the first half. Pandora Hearts tell the story behind an old tragedy that originated from one man’s madness. As such, there’s a high body count, amount of blood and disturbing scenes popping up. If you’re uncomfortable with these things or are a ‘white or black’ type of person, better avoid it at all costs; there was only a guy with a functioning moral compass in this manga and well, it didn’t end well.

Pandora is also an award to Mochizuki’s determination, hardwork and dedication, for it shows their evolution as a mangaka through the passing of years. Boring, stiff-looking panels turn an one hundred, enters perspective, proportion and details that compliment the narration beautifully.

We go from THIS:

To THIS:

If you love conspirator theories, this manga is for you. There’s LOTS of foreshadowing. Even when showing important snippets of the truth, Jun Mochizuki’s storytelling cleverly shows everything, but nothing makes sense before the big reveal comes; it’s a love-hate thing.

Better grab a napkin if you’re gonna give it a try, ‘cause you’ll tear up a little. This is a emotional rollercoaster. Don’t like the protagonist? So what! There are too many characters, endless plot twists and sob stories; trust me, you’re doomed to care about someone. We get character development, we get background, we get FEELS. You can’t escape the endless circle of pain, I'm telling you.

The ending leaves a bittersweet taste, yet it feels adequate for a manga like Pandora; to me it wasn’t a happy ending, but it wasn’t overly tragic, either. That’s just my opinion, yours may differ.

Before departing I’ll say: I’m not masochist, okay? I don’t love suffering, but I’d re-read this manga any day.

›Why Everyone Should Watch Pandora Hearts@double-negative2816d
In my attempt to watch every show scored by Yuki Kajiura, I ran into this anime called Pandora Hearts. Taking a quick look at its Wikipedia entry did not excite me, but I gave it a shot anyway. The story is about an heir to one of the country's most powerful dukedoms, Oz, and how his coming of age ceremony goes awry.

The first episode starts with a hook, showing Oz after he is captured. He is sentenced to the abyss for the crime of existing as a storm rages in the background. This sequence is followed by a stunning transition to a disaster that occurred in the world's past. The show leaves these things unexplained, preparing for an epic mystery story. After the beginning sequence, Oz is introduced, along with his friend and servant Gilbert. The two mess around, playing games and hiding from their maids. As they discussed the possibility of Gilbert attending the ceremony, Oz hears a strange tune playing. He follows the sound, and falls into a pit. Gilbert rushes after and falls in the same pit. There they find a grave and pocket watch hanging from the tombstone.

Oz grabs the watch and immediately feels something off about it. He opens it and instinctually winds it up. It starts playing the music again, leaving everyone to wonder: who or what wound it up before Oz fell down? Oz is then transported to a room full of talking dolls. They start freaking him out, so a strange woman comes in to tell them to calm down. She states that Oz frequently visits her, but he has no recollection of such events. he asks who she is, and she attacks him. She uses strange methods to do so. First she summons a wall of fire, then she tries to strangle Oz, then she stabs him with a knife. Only after the later does Oz return to reality, with the only proof he was ever there being the strangle marks on his neck. He holds on to the watch and proceeds to the ceremony as planned. While Oz prepares for the ceremony, we are shown a group of red-cloaked people who seemingly brainwash Gilbert.

Now for my opinion of the show. It seems to be going for a real-world but with a bit of magic setting, similar to many other shows in the fantasy genre. This tells me that there isn't going to be too much originality that comes from the setting. Everything interesting about the show is going to come from the mechanics of the magic system, and the characters. In both these regards, I expect the show to excel. The mechanics shown so far are reminiscent of Le Portrait de Petit Cossette, but with a protagonist I can actually relate to. Oz wants to go and do his own thing, and drag Gilbert along with him. He has a sense of independence due to not having a father around to support him, so it is unlikely that Oz will turn out to be a weak, generic protagonist either.

Overall, I have to recommend this show. I've only watched one episode, but it's almost an accomplishment when you can hook someone with only that. If you want similar recommendations, you could consider Le Portrait de Petit Cossette. They both seem to have a thing for chains.
