First of all, I can't claim to have read everything, I have seen only bits and pieces from both its anime and manga and I don't know which one is closer to the original light novel, but I'll write from what I have seen since it's still ongoing and very long.
Story: 8
The plot seems to be very silly at a first point, but soon even the stupid "flushing" process gets explained, or at least thanks to Ulrike (which seems to be in the original novel and anime but doesn't appear in the manga?), plot seems to be progressing very well and gets rather serious quickly.
...
It's a shouen-ai, what do you expect, straight men doing straight men things? Also if you're complaining about this being too gay you might try to read the first yaoi series that comes to your mind and think again, is this really that gay compared to them?
Art: 7
I can't say it is the very best art I have seen in a manga, but it's not as bad as Elfen Lied or 07-Ghost, which makes it very enjoyable.
Character: 10
I could say that simply because I find a lack of male characters in anime/manga with a multiple personality disorder. Yuuri is a teenager, and since his world is far different from the world where he's flushed in, its behavior is fairly obvious. Even though there are plenty of male characters and the only female characters have rather a comical relief, the author and the main character love to defend women's rights as seen in the later chapters, the relationships between the characters are developed very well, without needing sex scenes or references which could otherwise ruin the manga to a more straight public.
Enjoyment: 8
I'm clearly enjoying this manga a lot, it doesn't fail to alternate between humorous and serious scenes, and it focuses more on the characters' relationships rather than action, without being too cheesy or sentimental, you could define it as a perfect example of bromance.
Overall: 9
Screw the little men's reviews who want to retain their masculinity by judging this as overly gay, you can watch this even if you're straight. Once again there is no sexual content and the plot focuses more on close bromance rather than corny yaoi romance, I always wanted to read something similar to No.6 and this is the answer I was looking for.

Out of all the anime. manga, visual novels I have read or seen, Pandora Hearts is the one that will always be engraved in my heart and the others as well.
Nothing is stereotyped about this series, there is no lovey-dovey romance for otaku basement-dwellers, instead, this manga focuses on something that has been long overlooked: friendship. It doesn't matter how old one is, its gender or anything else, friendship will always be the greatest form of love and I'm glad the authoress managed to convey this message with such a masterpiece.
Story: 10
Don't let the Tumblr shippers/fangirls fool you, there barely is something that can be
...
called "romance" in it.
At first glance it may look like a comedy but it soon becomes the most complex mindrape I have ever read, yes, way ore than NGE and any other work you can consider "mindrape". If you're looking for a variety of unique characters, each with its own backstory, plenty of surprising plot twists, you just found the best manga I can recommend you.
Art: 10
The art is amazing since the very first chapers, and it gets way better later, I don't really have anything else to say about it, except that the art isn't really the strongest point even though it's one of the best drawn manga I have read.
Character: 10
As I said before, Pandora Hearts has plenty of unique characters you might want to relate with, even the "villains" have its own reasons, pasts, and regrets, as well as even mostly secondary characters being very useful to the plot and the main characters. I can't say anything about this because it would be a lot of spoiler, but I can tell you each character isn't ever being overlooked.
Enjoyment: 10
Once you'll reach around chapter 20, you'll enjoy it to the fullest, all your theories about what'll happen in the story will crumble, as there are many unexpected plot twists that will make you enjoy even more the manga, the authoress also loves to play with our feelings, which is another unexpected thing.
Overall: 10
Never I had found a masterpiece as perfect as Pandora Hearts which made me laugh, cry and smile so much, all my attempts were useless, I still struggle to find a manga which could be equal to it without any success.
I am planning to re-read it soon to enjoy it all over again, as it is my #1 favorite manga I have ever read

This is just my opinion on the series. Before going full butthurt at your favorite animu I suggest to think about my points.
Story - 6
I didn't generally like the setting, however that doesn't mean it's a very unique setting, the story is very simple, and gets explained around episode 4, anyway, the progression is incredibly predictable, it's so easy to understand which character is going to die, there's barely any mystery after a few episodes.
Art - 7: The animation isn't something you can really complain about, if you can overlook the off-models. It's not the best animation I ever watched but neither the worst
Sound -
...
6: How many times did I have to hear the same overused song in almost every episode (I mean the one that plays at the beginning of episode 1)? It's really a drag, and the fact that it's bloody overused makes it even worse. Apart from the first ending song, I can't remember any remarkable song from this anime.
Character - 3:
I detest the main character, she's basically the princess in distress which I hate to death. But why not add some romance to it? I dislike romance, but it's so bad in this show that it didn't give me even enough time to whine about it. Furthermore, even if it's later explained, they act like sluts, they're in love with somebody from their same gender and play hugs and kisses, while later they fall in love with someone from the opposite gender, both male and females. I can't really tell which character is the most irritating for this.
Enjoyment - 2: If you're here to "enjoy" the show, you're just delusional, honestly, there's nothing to enjoy except the slowest development ever and the never ending many dialogues which sometimes take whole episodes to finish, I can explain the enjoyment with one word: BORING, I almost fell asleep while watching this show, it became a real torture to watch it, and I didn't get satisfied in the end either because it was so predictable I might have even saved time by not watching the final episodes.
Overall - 6
I expected a wonderful work of mystery and psychology from this show. It's not the worst anime I have ever saw, but it didn't hold my breath even once as people make it look like. The development is so boring that watching Peppa Pig would honestly be less boring than this show. If you're looking for a fast paced anime, forget about ever watching or enjoying this. If you wish to watch something slow, sluggish, and overly boring or you want to waste your time on a mediocre show, go ahead and watch it, but don't expect anything new from this show. I'm truly glad it sold so poorly. There are plenty of novels/manga which deserve to have an anime adaption, why did they even make this one?

I find it odd that while the anime had a lot of bad reviews this manga isn't known at all.
Story: 8
Let's just say that the plot isn't the best I have ever seen, but it has a lot of originality in it, like as other works from the same authors, the fact that demons are actually less evil than angels in the end is one of the points I liked mostly. Even though the series is quite new, it needs more time to fully develop.
Art: 10
This was absolutely, the most gorgeous, magnificent, and most elaborate manga I have ever read, you should definitely take a
...
look at it if you like amazingly drawn manga, because the art is one of the biggest point of it.
Character: 8
The characters from Makai Ouji are incredibly various, from saints to people that really existed in history. The main character has his unique charm which is being an absolute realist to the point of even contradicting himself, most demons have a well developed backstory and not all of them belong to the same faction, which makes the thing much more interesting and intriguing. Just because it has a large cast of male character, it doesn't mean women are useless in the manga, but it's a josei manga after all.
Enjoyment: 8
If you're looking for something original, you'll definitely like the manga, if you like the action themed genre you'll also enjoy it, apart from some chapters that are almost useless, the pacing is very quick.
Overall: 9
Don't let yourself get fooled by the poor anime adaption, this manga should become more popular as it has a very high potential, it shouldn't also be overlooked or underrated, it's kinda like an hidden gem of manga.

I would give to this manga a solid 9 but until I see more development in the future chapters, I'll refrain from rating it so higly.
Story - 9
The plot seems to be childish and silly when you read it, it was very slow and it's still very slow during the last released chapters, but I realized many questions are being answered lately in the newest chapters, furthermore even though at a first glance it will look silly to you, it gets darker and darker.
Art - 8
I won't say it's the best drawn manga I have read, but if you can exclude the "off models" most
...
drawings aren't half bad.
Character - 8
If you can't stand crybabies, then you might hate Lag Seeing to death, even though later in the manga it is explained why he's such a crybaby, it doesn't affect me at all, in my opinion, it's good for a male character to show its emotional side most of the times. About Niche, I was disappointed by her, simply because she's always the same through the whole manga, I don't want this story to turn into a pathetic romance, they're 12 years old after all. I also enjoyed a lot Gauche/Noir's development. Not all the supporting characters are developed as the main characters, but as I said before, the author is working on it and by the reading the latest chapters, I can see he's making many efforts about it.
Enjoyment - 8
Once again, to enjoy fully this manga, a lot of time is required, it's not something you'll enjoy at first glance, but if you have patience you'll enjoy it much more than before.
Overall - 8
I might edit this review later, because the manga has a lot of potential, it just takes time to develop and I'm still looking forward to knowing how the author will decide to develop this story.

(This is my first review ever, I apologize for being poor in details)
I browsed many times looking for a good anime that aired in 2015, so I gave a shot to this one (haven't read the manga yet unfortunately).
Story: 6/10
I have lost count of how many times vampires were used in anime, and frankly, I see nothing new in the plot, the post-apocalyptic genre is something I dislike but I haven't seen in many anime.
The question is now, WHY does the virus attack only people older than 13? Did I probably miss something while watching it? I would have been happier if they could have
...
explained it with some silly reason for it, but the authors didn't even care about explaining in the details HOW THIS happened, which is really annoying.
Art: 7/10
I didn't really have any issue with the art, it's not the most well animated anime I know but there are far more popular anime that are animated worse than this one.
Sound: 5/10
The Opening is okay, but I barely noticed any music in the anime, let alone the fact that I detest its ending song.
Character: 2/10
This is the most annoying part: the characters are blatantly H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E. Yu is the typical shonen main character you see everyday in anime, pretty much like Eren Jaeger, and guess what? Both struggle to get revenge, what a nice coincidence, I like somewhat Mika more but it doesn't change the fact that I hate Yu. Shinoa Hiiragi and Yoiichi are likely the only characters I could save the anime for, as for Shihou Kimizuki, well, let's just not talk about it.
Enjoyement: 5/10
If you want something original, I advise you to stay away from this anime, I was seriously disappointed about it. If you're a newbie to anime and liked AoT then you'll probably like it more, though.
Overall: 4/10
As I said before, I was disappointed about the show, in my opinion it's nothing to be hyped about, as I think it's one of worst anime I saw this year.
