Mania Grade: B+

Pandora Hearts continues to be a pleasure to look at with it’s fantastic costumes and dialog regularly punctuated with theatrics. We still don’t know the why, but now we at least know who might be partially responsible for Alice being the way she is. The revelation of the antagonist lacks a dramatic punch though, maybe because it all seemed so obvious. Or, maybe it’s just the result of the pacing moving the plot along without dragging it out further. Having the ‘who’ solved isn’t going to make things easier on Oz or Break, and matters are made more complicated by Jack’s request to Oz about Glen Baskerville. The stage is now set for the larger conflict with Baskerville Clan.
