Anime introduction April episode---Pandora Hearts
The beginning of the story of "Pandora Hearts" actually dates back to a hundred years ago in the time of the screen. All the cause and effect, all the grievances and grievances of the mission originated from that night on the tragic night of the destruction of the city of Shabriye. However, this story is narrated at the time when the next leader of the Besarius family, who had jointly fought against the Baskava people who wanted to destroy the world and won the final victory, was The coming-of-age ceremony for the head of the family, Oz Besarius.
In this ceremony, Kilbart, the attendant who Oz regarded as a close friend, was controlled, and with Oz's blood he opened the way to the prison "Awetz" where felons were imprisoned. In the prison of time and space, Oz, at the critical moment of life and death, officially met Alice, a girl who frequently appeared in his dreams and finally changed his life's destiny. The title of her spirit body was "Blood-stained Black Rabbit", and she had powers better than any other spirit body. With her fighting power, Alice formed an illegal spiritual contract with Oz, helping Oz return to the real world from Aweiz.
But at this moment, ten years have passed in reality, and Oz’s most valued friend has grown up. He is like an abandoned child in this strange world. Lonely and young. The only companion is Alice, who is currently in a spirit state whose life or death is unknown. Since the spirit contract between Oz and Alice is illegal, there is a limit to the time he can use Alice's abilities. Beyond this limit, Oz himself will become a low-level spirit that falls into the Abyss. But the two still decided to fight together and survive before this time came. Alice wanted to pursue her lost memory, while Oz wanted to find out his crime. The two decided to fight against the chaos in this time. In the world, we support each other and pursue the final answer to fate.
Oz Besarius (CV: Junko Minagawa)
The male protagonist of the story, the next head of the Besarius family of the Four Dukes. During the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 15, he was charged with forgetting his body (= his existence) and was pushed into the dark prison [Albertz]. In [Albertz], he met the blood-stained black rabbit (Alice). Make a contract. After escaping from [Awetz], he found himself back in the world 10 years later. In order to find out his crime, he worked with Alice and became Blake's subordinate in Pandora.
He is also known as the key to "Albertz's Will". Because he was alienated by his father when he was young, he often studied day and night, and his mind was very flexible. He is adaptable because his past events have led him to act very calmly. He likes young and cute girls, and falls in love with Charlotte at first sight when he meets her for the first time. He has a fairly optimistic personality. However, there is also a cunning side.
Alice (CV: Ayako Kawasumi)
The heroine of the story, the blood-stained black rabbit who made a contract with Oz. He has a selfish and rough personality, but occasionally shows a gentle expression. He came to the world of Oz from [Awetz] because he wanted to get his memory back. After escaping from [Awetz], he worked with Oz in Pandora in order to obtain clues to the memory fragments. Unlike other chains, she has her own personality. Her original body is a giant black rabbit, and she maintains the posture of a girl under the control of Gilbert's power. It has some kind of relationship with "Aviz's Will" and hates it. Likes to kick people or things. Because I have been in [Awetz] for a long time, I am very interested in the world of Oz (mainly food).
Oz is treated as "property". When fighting, turn into Black Rabbit mode and fight with chains and scythes.
Although he has the appearance of a human, his personality is still a mystery. He appeared in [The Tragedy of a Hundred Years Ago] and met Jack, treating Jack as an important person in his memory.
Gilbart Nightray (CV: Kosuke Toriumi)
Commonly known as Raven. Oz's follower and best friend, Golden Eyes and Black Hair, is very afraid of cats. Along with Oz and others, they are Blake's subordinates and use twin guns. Because he lost his memory when he was young and was injured and died in the Besarius family, he was protected by the Besarius family. He is often teased by Oz, such as being hung from a tree and being chased by cats. During Oz's coming-of-age ceremony, he was controlled by the chain Dordam Gate and harmed Oz, so he hated Zubal, the contractor of the Dordam Gate.
When Oz fell into the [Abbots], through the mediation of the Landsworth family, he became the adopted son of the Netley family, which was hostile to the Besarius family. His younger brother Vincent is also an adopted son, but he has never actually met. Later, he became a member of Pandora and obtained the Knightley family's chain [Crow], looking forward to Oz's return in 10 years. After meeting again, Oz did not reveal his identity to Oz. Later, Oz learned his true identity from Kilbart, and once again swore to become a follower serving Oz. Oz's body could not be recovered by sealing Alice's power with her own power.
Charlotte Landsworth (CV: Hanazawa Coriander)
The lady of the Landsworth family, a girl who is as smart as an adult and likes to drink black tea. He often works with Bunik and is both a regular contractor of Pandora. He has made a contract with the chain unicorn (one-horned beast). Due to the influence of the contract, his body maintains the body of a 13-year-old. The young lady of the Rino family, one of the four major duke families that make up Pandora. A calm and intelligent girl.
The shady lady often leads Blake in his actions. Use the dark horse: チェイン?一角獣. Unicorn
Zachsitz Blake (CV: Akira Ishida)
Identity is a servant of the Landsworth family, and he and Charlotte belong to the regular Pandora family. Contractors stop growing because of the impact of the contract. The left eye has no eyeball and is covered by the front hair. With the doll Emily on her shoulder, she is friendly but rude, and confuses the people around her with a tone that is flattering on the surface but contemptuous on the inside. I don't know why I hate Vincent. Called "Joker" by Alice. Even towards the important Sino, his attitude will not change. He is searching for the truth about the tragedy known as Suriyo 100 years ago, and he will do whatever it takes to do so. I like sweet things very much and always carry snacks with me.
The chain that established the contract is called the Crazy Hatter (March Hatter). The Laughing Cat speculated that his chain should not be a crow-like high-level chain.
His real name is Kaibin, who lived 50 years ago and served the Sinclair family. In order to save his family from being destroyed, he became a contract violator and was called the "red-eyed undead".
Vincent Knightley (CV: Jun Fukuyama)
Gilbart's younger brother and the adopted son of the Knightley family. He was adopted by the Knightley family at the same time as Gilbert. With heterochromia iridis, you have two eyes of different colors. Its chain is the dormouse (ヤマネ). He is the same person who lived 100 years ago as Kilbart (probably due to the time overlap in the Abyss space). It is possible that he was the murderer who killed Alice in the "Tragedy of Chabrier" 100 years ago. He is evil and cruel, but he truly loves his brother Gilbert.
Others: Jack Besarius (CV: Daisuke Ono)
The person in Alice’s memory, a member of the Besarius family about 100 years ago, Oz The ancestor from 100 years ago had a similar appearance to Oz, with long braids and a free and unrestrained personality. Before the tragedy happened, he was the third son of the third-rate noble family Besarius, and he claimed to be a music box craftsman. He is a close friend of Gu Lian, and together with Gu Lian, he made a musical pocket watch (the music was composed by Gu Lian). In the "Tragedy of Chabrier" 100 years ago, he single-handedly stopped the actions of the Pascabiru family and killed Guren, making the Besarius family one of the four major ducal families. Called a "hero".
Albert's will: In fact, it is a twin that is united with Alice's soul. Blake's left eye was dug out and installed on the Laughing Cat. Appeared as a white rabbit.
Smiling Cat (cv: Kappei Yamaguchi):
The chain of spaces created by Alice’s memory is the same special chain as Alice, about [Abitsu’s Will] Seems to know something.

However, whether it is the animated version or the radio drama, the CAST lineup is very good. The key depends on which CV the voice actors love more deeply...
