Oz Vessalius, heir to one of the duke houses, has just turned fifteen. His life is rich and carefree,
darkened only by the constant absence of his father. At his coming-of-age ceremony, however,
everything changes. For no reason that he can discern, he's cast into the prison known as the "Abyss",
only to be saved by a "chain" known as Alice, the bloodstained black rabbit. It is unknown why was he
cast into Abyss, how does Alice factor into it all, and what does the organization known as "Pandora"
want with him.

I really hate the end of this anime. I have so many questions and it kind of feels like te last two episodes didn't fit the flow of the storyline. "Is this it?" was the first question that came to me as it finished. It was kind of rushed. The story kind of grabbed me around episode 6 and I really wanted to find out if Alice and Oz would find the thruth, so it was disappointing to me that it was kind of an open ending which was basically screaming for a sequel. I love the story of Alice in Wonderland and at first, that's why I started watching this anime. I like that a lot of characters from the book like the Mad Hatter were incorporated into the storyline of this anime. But I also feel like they could have done more with the storyline. I think I might have to read the manga, seeing that that is also finished publishing. But I have no idea if it will continue after the story of anime. Synopsis of the anime: To young Oz Vessalius, heir to the Vessalius Duke House, the perilous world called the Abyss is nothing more than a folktale used to scare misbehaving children. However, when Oz's coming-of-age ceremony is interrupted by the malicious Baskerville Clan intent on banishing him into the depths of the Abyss, the Vessalius heir realizes that his peaceful life of luxury is at its end. Now, he must confront the world of the Abyss and its dwellers, the monstrous "Chains," which are both not quite as fake as he once believed. Based on the supernatural fantasy manga of the same name, Pandora Hearts tells the story of fifteen-year-old Oz's journey to discover the meaning behind the strange events that have overtaken his life. Assisted by a mysterious Chain named Alice, whose nickname is "Bloodstained Black Rabbit," and members of a clandestine organization known as "Pandora," Oz begins to realize his existence may have more meaning than he could have ever imagined.
