Shadows House
| I haven’t gotten around to Promised Neverland yet so I can’t say, but I highly recommend this. Very intriguing with a great mystery and fun characters, and the second season isn’t a complete nightmare like PN, it got better. |
| It's a pretty good show. I liked it. Season 2 is nice too, but I prefer season 1. |
 |
| Not as intense Promised Neverland (more like the PG-13 version of it) but more importantly, they didn't fk up the sequel. Overall a high quality CW show. |

| at least it has a season 2 that is good , unlike the promised neverlands |

| It’s fantastic for mystery enjoyer but would highly recommend reading the first 20 chapters of the manga before watching this. The manga started way more immersive and mysterious than the anime. Besides, the studio decided to skip an important figure from chap 19. Obviously, the further you read, the much better experience you’ll get before jumping into the anime but IMO the first 20 chapters is the bare minimum. |
| Truth is absolute but human perception of truth is always relative. |
| You'd like it if you're into Victorian settings and mild horror. |
littlehonger said: as good as the promised neverland? Not as good as season 1 of promised neverland imo but still pretty enjoyable to learn about the world of the show. |
| Definitely worth to watch It has great chr and a great atmosphere. If you like mystery Animes which are a bit dark, than you will like Shadows house. |
| I'm in a bit of an odd place with this series. I very much appreciate the premise and enjoy both the premise and setting, as well as the execution of the first few episodes of season one above all else from this series. I've seen some people complain about not favoring the Slice of Lifey type vibes and seemingly associated slower pacing of those first kind of moderately slower introduction and setup episodes of season one, but I enjoy slow building atmosphere, slower-paced series in general in any genre or setting, and thus those first few were easily my favorite section of the show. After that, fairly early on, the rest of season one up until the last three episodes felt somewhat too fast-moving and even a little rushed for my tastes. I say up until the last three, because those last three episodes of season one due to the production circumstances (going with an ambiguous potential anime original-style ending when they still didn't know if the series would receive a season two) weren't just a little too fast and rushed like the middle section, but extremely and egregiously so. That last quarter of season one in my book is still easily the worst portion of the series to date, despite some fun and exciting moments here and there. Despite the terrible ending, I still rated season one a 7/10 just on the strength of the premise, setting, and the ambience and promises of those first three or so episodes. Season two, despite fleshing out some of the main characters a little more and introducing at least some mildly interesting concepts, still felt inferior to me to season one as a whole and I think one of the things which bothers me about the series, more evident in season two, is it spends a lot of time on detailing an elaborate plot while still kind of briskly breezing over everything and not going much in depth with it. Like, it's impressive to construct a spectacle of weaving all these moving parts together, but a lot of it comes across as portrayed rather humdrum and matter of factly at the surface level rather than making it intimately felt firsthand as a viewing experience. I'd prefer it slow down (ironically sorely needed for something which was initially, perhaps mistakenly, listed as a Slice of Life) and just give the characters and world some time to breathe but it can feel "too" clever and a bit forced when something is always happening and everyone has some long-term supposedly foolproof Machiavellian scheme. Well, it's essentially a Downton Abbey or West Wing-style show of the politics and personal dramas of an elite in-group with supernatural entities. I gave the second season a 6/10. Although I also had the same broad aforementioned problem with another CloverWorks production (but really, this is irrelevant as it should come down to the writing of the original source material), Yakusoku no Neverland season one, even before that series completely went off the rails the next season. As it stands, I haven't decided if I'm going to continue further with this series in the future if it ever gets a third season, but I'm leaning toward no, I'm not really interested in continuing with it, unless a lot of time passes and I effectively run out of things to watch and/or I hear something phenomenal about any future season/seasons after the fact. |
