Shadows House - Season 1

Shadows House is a very interesting and original anime series. I like the world it is set in, the mystery around all the shadows and the whole Victorian mansion thing. The story has a lot of hidden parallels to the break-down of society, the pains of growing up, and I for one believe that there is a point as to why everything revolves around the soot which the masters emit, and why the show is set in the nineteenth century, also known as the century of steam-power. The characters are likable, diverse, and relatable. Emillico and Kate are a likable pair of quite contrasting characters that I had no problem rooting for. I also appreciated the gradual revelation of how the house works, and more information about the Living Doll partners. In other words, I was definitely intrigued, and want to know and see more of this wonderful world. I cannot say that I am nervously anticipating the next episode, however, I shall always be happy to immediately put a new episode on when it comes out. 7.5/10 (04.06.2022)
