Shining Hearts -Shiawase No Pan


Shining Hearts - Shiawase No Pan is a fun anime that mixes up the science fiction and fantasy genres.  What makes it more fun is that all of the characters find themselves in a strange land with no memory from whence they came from.  As they struggle to make a new life for themselves they find new friends and meaning.

This anime feels like a small window into a big story.  Although the main story does wrap itself up neatly it obviously needs more seasons to complete it.  The character development is very shallow, largely because the character themselves don't remember who they were.

The artwork is lovely and the designs are very well done, which is to be expected from the game development process.  The colouring and animation is also very well done.  As a side note, I'll also mention that Shining Hearts has a very cute soundtrack.  Their composers did a great job.

The main conflict in the story is really hard to put in context for both the characters and the viewers because no one knows the back story.  Our only clue is the allusion to the idea that there are more episodes to come which will explain everything.

Shining hearts -Shiawase No Pan is very cute but with such limited character and plot development I give it a 2.5 out of 5.
