Pandora Hearts is pretty entertaining so far. It puts Yuki Kajiura's music score to very good use. I especially like the background music that's playing when Oz is judged. I can totally feel Oz's fear, dread and despair. The story is also intriguing and with more new characters coming up, I can't wait to know what's going to happen next.The only thing I want to complain about is its animation. The action scenes are very poorly animated and badly paced!Mini SummaryBefore the start of the coming of age ceremony, Oz is introduced to Sharon, the young heiress of the Reinsworth family. It's love at first sight for Oz and he's happy to learn that she's 2 years younger than himself.
