| I wish I didn't read the manga and was blind to it all, I really am not a fan of how stuff was handled. |
 |
| I think I'm gonna settle on a 4 for this show. This whole thing smells like baby's first suspense. The scenes with Emiliko talking with Edward had a cutesy music in the background and? people who made this expect it to be taken seriously? A kidnapping victim talking to her raptor to a cute lil tune and this is meant to be tense? Not to mention the way the brainwashing of the blond and the redhead were dealt with. bleh |
| Ah shit has hit da fan, tho what exactly will they do... I mean interrogate her until she turns herself in? damn I can't really see anything feasible from this encounter. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
Low effort meme with bad editing but I couldn't resist. I present you: |
| It seems the salt due to the anime going original route continues, huh? Overall, another quite entertaining episode. Even while kidnapped, Emilico continues to be a cutie and seeing Kate receiving the help of Patrick and co. was quite heartwarming in a sense. One more episode to go. Looking forward to seeing John finally punching something... or someone. Marinate1016 said: I’ve heard some people talk about there being an anime original ending, so does that mean the entire story will get wrapped up next week and no season 2 or? Not the entire story since the manga is still ongoing. The season will receive a somewhat "conclusive" ending by not leaving many plot-lines open and in case of a potential sequel, the author already said he would make sure to adjust the narrative as best as possible. BlichoBoy said: My only critic, is that the others got out of the hypnosis easier than Emilico. Just saying. Im only saying this because she almost died from water intoxication. Emilico drank two cups of that "coffee". Maybe that was why it was more difficult for her to be brought back. |
| Kate manage to find Emilico.. but now they face Edward! looks like he's the final boss of season 1. this is so exciting.. can't wait for next week! :) |
| Another build up episode. Its interesting to see the debutants helping each other. Edward was the culprit of abducting Emilico. And Kate alone saving her. And that cliffhanger tho. Overall good episode next episode is the final for this season. I hope for a sequel |

| I'm reading tons of comments about how much the Anime has deviated from the manga and it's not surprising since a lot of Anime adaptations aren't faithful to their original source. Still, this just makes me want to read the manga which I will be starting today. I'm still interested in knowing the original Anime ending and still liked this series so far. I'm typing this before I read the manga and might change my mind but kind of like how I felt with FMA and FMAB. They're both creative and interesting in their own ways. |

Judevin said: As a manga reader, this is a really good plot for an anime original. Yes, there are some plot conveniences and some rushed parts (like Ricky and Lou coming to senses too quickly), but this is A LOT more detail for the series than is presented in the manga. I don't remember the manga ever talking about 3 floors in the Shadows House. Louise is actually shown using her powers, which is barely done in the manga. We see Shirley (she first appears right after the ending of the debut arc in the manga, so that's not rushed) as well, but that's not revealed just yet. They have kept everything that made the series so tense and mysterious, we still don't know so much about the Shadows House. Manga readers need to stop being so anal about faithful adaptations. Sure I would've loved one as well, but this isn't bad whatsoever. I think this is an excellent anime original plot, if everything goes well in the final episode, then this anime was easily a 8-9/10 for me despite being original, because that was really really good for an anime original. I totally see the author adding in details and nuances that they can't in a weekly 12 page manga. And hey if the series ever gets a second season I'm sure they can tie it back into canon territory |

| Will there be the second season for this anime? If not - here is the question for people who read already manga: How is the story later on? No spoilers. I just want to know if the biggest mystery was already revealed (how this all Shadows House works) or more is to come? Are you still surprised & enjoy the storyline? |
| Forever hold this heart that I will give to you Forever I will live for you |
| How did Kate know that living dolls were humans? |
 |
| Good build up for the finale, let's see how things end. |
 |
| Tense episode where I didn't expect the brainwash spell on Lou and Ricky to be broken that easily as Emilico and Shaun had to struggle quite a bit with it. |
 |
| Emilico pretending to eat and Edward getting annoyed was funny to watch. So now Kate found Emi but.. she got lured in Edwards trap |
| saw that voice trap a mile away. i'm confused on why ricky and lou's brainwashing was so easily reversed... john had to beat the living crap out of shaun and emilico had to drink her body weight's worth in water to flush out the soot. does patrick actually have a thing for emilico? it's grey but there seems to be something i'm picking up, or it's just my imagination. |
| On one side, the search for Emilico was tense on the other side, How fast Ricky and Lou got out the soot effect just felt out of place. |
| >Your Name is Ricky And Boom... the spell broke. Kinda hilarious but okay anyways no need to stick up to things which aren't much necessary. The whole tension throughout the episode had me on edge the whole time, and then that cliffhanger.. really a worthy penultimate episode. |
| The way Ricky and Lou went back to themselves just like that really baffles me I'm sorry but I can't take it seriously, it's just ridiculous xD right after they spent the last episode explaining how water is the cure and how powerful the spell is... just for them to completely ignore it 1 episode later???? lmao |
 |
| Time for finale bro. Man this series is quite edgy. I am interested in the mini boota shadow in there too. And soot outta the grave? |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| whole episode is an original anime plot so will ep13 I guess. The most problematic issue with this episode is that it broke the fundamental rules of the house. From the manga, it is stated that the adults cannot visit the children building and vice versa under any circumstances except with the approval from the grandfather. Even Edward as the manager of the children is not exempted from the rule and all he can do is give orders to the star-bearers through the bridge connecting the buildings. In this episode, Edward goes against the very rule given by his beloved grandfather which doesn't make any sense at all. Also, the risk of getting caught and losing his chance to be promoted is so high which makes him more like an idiot than anything. Secondly, the brainwashing is undone through extreme methods as seen with emilyco and shaun but somehow it was dispelled through a few words with lou and ricky, One word to describe this episode: Convenient |

| Truth is absolute but human perception of truth is always relative. |
| Even in such a situation, I couldn't help laughing every time John proposed to destroy something, he's taking the shounen OP protagonist route, while Shaun is the voice of the reason taking the side of the people who point out of crazy that is lol. |
| The "dolls" were made to drink the spiked coffee before they started serving their masters too, not just during the debut celebration. The effects aren't permanent, and weaken over time. That's why Lou and Ricky's brainwashing was dispelled easily, since more time had passed than when Emilico and Shaun were cured. I don't remember the anime ever implying the brainwashing effect of the coffee lasts forever either. It was difficult to take that interrogation scene seriously. I expected Edward to physically torture Emilico, or threaten Kate through blackmail much eariler than he did. |
