KuroNekoAlchemy said: TheSpeedAngle said: so far this series is pretty weird and fun, nothing too crazy but it's okay. i really hope there is a twist or something, like yeah shadows and dolls slice of life isn't that bad but give us evil like that girl before the ED, speaking of the ED tho i liked it a lot! maybe one of the best this season? I loved the ed too, but the instrumental op isn't so bad either! also what do you mean, evil, it's a precious cinammon roll! Look at this adorable face radiating kindness and warmth!  true so far it is wholesome, that girl maybe just had a bad day or couldn't sleep lol but yeah so far it's alright, and yup the op is good but the ed is insane!! I will watch it and hope for the best! |
| Animation, Voices and Ending were very good. But I was bored. The ending did leave it open that some SHADY Shit is going on. So Im in for at least 3 episodes. |

| Must be easy on animators for this show cuz they don't have to draw facial features for over half of the cast lol Jokes aside, plot is uber interesting, both two lolis are cute (yes, even the shadow one) and ED is out of this world. Damn, ReoNa should be sued for such amazing theme songs. This might be my AotS. Seriously hope CloverWorks didn't butcher this like Neverland S2. |
 |
| This is weird as hell. How do people come up with such story ideas? Looking forward to the following episodes though, I wonder how this will turn out as a story! |
 |
| its so cute but at same time its kinda creepy too .. not gonna lie this is interesting !! |
madelajn3 said: Oh yeah, I was wondering about the use of 3rd person there too, but then I just forgot about it. I thought maybe it was a translation issue, but maybe it was a subtle plot point. Hmm. But I think it's quite possible that Kate and Emiliko are facets of the same person.So at first it was confusing for me the way she spoke about herself in third person and i wasn't sure if both the lady in white and red are one and the same person (Kate), but other than that i loved it! The vibe is immaculate, the music fits so well and the ed and op are one of my favorites from this season, also it's perfectly dark and light at the same time and I'm living for it! Do you think the soot bird at the start was the creation of the girl at the window, who then blew on the bird and disintegrated it? Or are other creatures made of living soot in this world besides the humans in this mansion? There was that little soot creature (at 8:00) that Kate stomped on - like one of those critters from My Neighbor Totoro. Also, what's the Faraday cage thing that some of the people were building / working on? Maybe something to do with the mystery? TBH after the first time through the episode, about the only thing that made me want to watch more is my curiosity about the setting, so I hope we get to see more depth to these characters soon. g- |
Please don't feed the trolls.   |
| It was relaxing to watch. Looking how it ended, next episode will have some twists and turns which will make it more interesting. I can't wait to know more about these shadows and dolls. The MC is a klutz and kinda gave off bland and typical vibes but I hope her future character development will make her more likeable. Really loved that ED by Reona. |

| CloverWorks are you going to deliver once again on the delicious Yuri This was dark and weird but also sweet. Kate was so gentle and kind with Emilico. Are you my little shadow lesbian honey❤❤ Awwwww my girls were so cute together. Emilico even gave her girlfriend a goodnight kiss,,,,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! This have Yuri vibes IMO. I love it. I hope for some romancing between Human dolls and shadow lesbians,,,YEEEEEEEEEEES  |

| So far, I like the show's eerie atmosphere but the way in how Emilico acts is kinda too annoying. Wasn't expecting her to be this cheerful, honestly. Anyways, it seems she had good luck with the kind master she ended up serving. Doubt the other Living Dolls had the same luck. |

| Intriguing premise with a unique concept and setting and bizarre atmosphere, while this episode was very cute and wholesome for the most part, I can't help but feel that under all that fluff lies a creepy and eerie undertone, I don't know why I'm getting those vibes with this show, but I think it's going to be much darker than what was shown this episode, I'm interested for more. This might become the dark horse of this season. |

| I loved this first episode, the ambiance is really great, and I like the concept with the Shadow's faces reflected on their dolls, it's also really cute and I didn't expect this anime to be like that. |
 |
| Got some weird Addams Family (the 1964's TV series, the only one I watched) vibes from this anime. Am I the only one? |

IMO Both the opening and end have strong Yuri vibes and the shadow lesbians was all over their human girl dolls,,,,YEEEEEEEEES I also love the cute goodnight kiss and the interactions between Kate and Emilico! Awwwww I think they are in love ❤❤ CloverWorks have been so good this year. I love all the sweet Yuri they have been dishing up! I cant get enough of it And I'm very curious about this couple. Because I think the Yuri vibes was strongest between them. Hopefully they will be introduced in the next episode. Even if I sense something more sinister are brewing here! I am very interested to see how this thing will play out  |

RiceBoon said: can anyone explain to me what's the appeal of this show? because so far im not sold for the story, i'll give it one more episode if its going dark or not. liked the ED visual and song tho. All I can say is it's gonna be a slow burn, mysteries will be uncovered at a slow pace Character developments and friendship build up will be sublime |

KANLen09 said: An intriguing start, almost gave me The Promised Neverland feels (though it's not), not just because it's CloverWorks. Shadows and Living Dolls, a fascinating master-servant relationship between the dark shadow Kate and clumsy-cum-wonky Emilyko. From doing housework to making sure that Kate is satisfied with Emilyko's work, Kate is one fine master who doesn't get angry at Emilyko even for the seemingly trivial of works. And before you ask, this is NOT Yuri. A pretty good adaptation of the manga, but I'm worried for pacing issues since the manga chapters are literally short romps. You're late, TV Tropes have already "found" gay characters among some of the characters, lol. @Animillion I wouldn't say romance is anything important in this show at all, but overall it's not a queer title. As far as I know, the original manga teased at least two straight ships/couples among the main cast. |

| There is a thin line between being cute and being unbearable. Emilyco's squealing kinda ruins it for me. Besides that, it was an entertaining and visually pleasing episode, hopefully it will develop into something interesting. |

Yeah, I think they are more straight than gay, or at least the tho there are at least two pairings that give strong lesbian vibes |
| Loved every moment of it. Reading the manga while the ED is looping now. |
| Lot of people loved the OP but I didn't like it Seems pretty uncatchy and doesn't have nice tunes It'll probably not grow up on me |
 |
| So far this gives me SOL vibes but the unique concept of this setting and characters had me thinking maybe this is more mystery/horror than SOL? (I truly hope so) Can't wait to see Shadow Patrick's debut and find out why he has nearly 1000 favorites while everyone else only has like a dozen or less. |
| I'm so excited because of ending and last few seconds of 1st episode. Sounds like it gonna be an interesting show to watch at least. |
 |
| I was expecting this to be really scary but it's not really at least not yet The story is really fascinating and I have so many questions. Like why are they shadows? What is that drink that the dolls and Kate drank? |
  |
| The ending got recommended to me on yt and made me curious so i went and watched the episode.. this has very good visuals and the plot is interesting, i'm trying really bad to not go and read the manga but i'll eventually will when the season ends. Somehow made me remember of rpg maker games like Pocket Mirror or Witch's House and i love it. |

| Nice Atmosphere Disgusting seeing how some people try to attack yuri fans just because they expressed their opinion in liking to see some possible f/f characters romance...Like let people have their ships even if they are not "canon" or are just implied |
| Ok I didn't like the ending in the PV but hearing the clean version, both the song and visuals are spectacular. |
| I was really eager for this, but it seems, just like with Neverland, Cloverworks are dead set on removing all internal monologues. They skipped Kate's internal thoughts of chapter 12 when she wakes up. |

| to anime-only's if you're not that interested in the show atm please stay for a couple more episodes. it'll get so much more interesting later. great first ep !! i personally think they started the world/introduced the series way better than the manga did so im quite surprised but in a good way of course. the op and ed slaps haaard suits the show rly well NotReallyAnder said: LMAO definitely agree, emily's "cuteness" isn't rly something im usually fond of but im a manga reader so she doesn't rly bother me rn, dont think that part of her character will get better but the story definitely doesThere is a thin line between being cute and being unbearable.

| Nice art cool concept and some mediocre scripts I think, all the dialogue was a bit flat and just...happened when everything could have been directed more dramatically. |
| This was so cute with a dash of gothic airs. Perfect. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
chrislee1133 said: I kinda don't know how to feel about this show, I was hoping for some kind of Tim Burton/Neil Gaiman style "cute and fun at first glance, but is actually really creepy and scary" series. Not to say that I dislike it, cause i do enjoy it, but idk it feels like a waste to have a good concept like this just be cute anime girls being cute You can't be more wrong😂 |

| I’m very impressed. I went in blind and It was such a bizzarre and unique experience. A premise I’ve never seen before This might be really interesting |
| Nice start. Emilico is so adorable. ^^ |

| Tim Burton: The Anime. Goth aesthethics mixed with cutesy. Immersive and fitting OST. Perfect ending. Animation seems more levels of a movie/OVA than a standard seasonal, hope they keep up the quality for the entirely of the show. Very solid, alongside 86, is a potential AOTS. chrislee1133 said: I kinda don't know how to feel about this show, I was hoping for some kind of Tim Burton/Neil Gaiman style "cute and fun at first glance, but is actually really creepy and scary" series.

And by horror, I do NOT mean the gore-type one. Is more subtle and classy than that. |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |

| i don't know why, maybe just the opening, spooky atmosphere, & victorian esque stuff.. but this reminds me so much of old vocaloid evil series/7 deadly sins songs & videos. |
