The anime features heavy references to Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and can be considered both fantasy and mystery. Hence, I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasy-themed anime. Even though I found the plot story quite confusing with constant flashbacks full of mysteries, it was an enjoyable watch, especially with so many kawai characters as Xerxes Break, Jack Berzarius and Eliott Nightray. "I did say that you could ask, but I didn't say that I would answer" ~Xerxes~

“Let me give you a word of advice. A loyalty that holds fast will become a blade, and will someday pierce those you hold dear. Open both eyes wide. That is, if you… don’t want to end up like me.” - Xerxes Break to Gilbert

The story starts with the air of celebration surrounding fifteen-year-old Oz Vessalius's [the heir to the title 'Duke of the Bezarus family] coming-of-age ceremony quickly turns to horror when he is condemned for a sin about which he knows nothing. He is thrown into an eternal, inescapable prison known as the Abyss from which there is no escape. [Any human who is banished to Abyss can escape by signing a contract with a chain. They are then called the chain's "Contractor", and gain control of the powers of their chain. When a human signs this contract, a clock appears on their chest and, once the hand of the clock completes a full revolution, the contractor is cast back into the deepest pits of Abyss.Now, the doors to Abyss are guarded by four ancient families of nobles, known as the "Four Great Duke Houses", who each have in their keeping one of four doors to Abyss, so no one of them can release the horrors of Abyss single-handedly.However, in an event known as "The Tragedy of Sabrier", one of the houses betrays the others and a great evil befalls the capital city.] In the Abyss, Oz meets a young girl named Alice, who is not what she seems. She can take on the form of a massive scythe-wielding rabbit called "B-Rabbit". Oz signs a contract with her and the two of them escape from Abyss to find that they haven't returned to the same time period as the one Oz left, but rather have arrived ten years later. Along the way, they are joined by many other characters on their quest to retrieve Alice's lost memories and bring justice to the traitors who caused the tragedy of Sabrier, while trying to decypher the secret that surrounds the Will of the Abyss.
