| The doll and her clumsiness is so cute. I really liked the music in the episode. Loved the ED. |
 |
| Lungs blacker than a coal miner. Ridiculous premise, ridiculous world. Very little happened in the first episode. |
| Was expecting something darker in vibe. Didn't really like it. The doll was cute but her clumsiness annoyed me. Wanted to give up halfway through. Will probably watch one more episode still cause I'm still curious about the others. |
| The opening isn't bad, but damn - that ending slaps. q_q |
| Don't mind me, just passing by... Halloween 2024:       |
| Was strangely less dark than I took from what looked that would be. The whole episode I thought "something horrible will happen". Of course that this anime can be about kidnapping children to slave them. If my interpretation of the beginning is right. |
 |
| Wow, this was gooooooood! Needs more fame though. |
| 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? |
| Hmmm a pretty surreal idea for a story. It seems pretty dark (pun aside) under the surface despite painting it as light hearted for the introduction. It seems to me that those living dolls are not actually dolls but humans (if hunger is anything to go by), and the stuff they drank at the beginning seemed suspicious as well. Not to mention there was a scene where it seemed like someone turned into a shadowy figure. Definitely will be keeping an eye on this. |
| Off to a very good start! I wasn't expecting the intro to show that many shadows, I wonder if there are already plans for a second cour. |
| Really solid adaptation. They did a great job capturing the theme of the manga, with the ambiance and the atmosphere. However, the soundtrack is average. |
 |
| I liked the lingering creepy, mysterious atmosphere the episode had despite how bubbly and obnoxious the doll was. It worked in making me intrigued to know more about the world, and how and if it'll get darker later. Though I don't want to trust Cloverworks so soon after last season's disappointments, I feel there's good potential here, but maybe I'm just being hyped up the crazy good OP and ED, which are both the top contenders for my favorite ones for spring season. |
 |
| liking the characters and setting of this anime, the scene near the end has me thinking that this is gonna be good |
 |
| Is this Shadow family a coal supplier? Got a stupid impression from the frst scene and shoveling that their residue seems like coal and it's being used for trains lol |
| Excellent closing theme with ReoNa It will be difficult to treat a child servant issue with the progressive vibe, but at least in Japan it is not as advanced as in the West The quality is fine, it is almost at the level of Black Clover, let's see how this anime develops! |

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!  |
| Aw sweet. The shadow Kate was not an angry master afterall, considering her va also the cute one. Now that was surely a nice attraction. Not gonna mentioned her living doll maid, called Emiliko. Even though Emiliko was clumsy af, but her cheerful and positive attitude really bring a better mood. So, i really think, They still can make such a good combination. I can see an adorable chemistry dynamic between them in these first episode. But, well, this show really give me such a strange vibes, even from this premiere. Despite having a wholesome moment surrounding Emiliko cheerful first circle of lifes as Kate's maid. Idk if she was truly a living doll, or human, or another twist. One thing for sure, that there must be were quite a darkness, or a lot of mysteries, surrounding their whole world. Idk whats the exact matters surrounded them, more importantly that soots thing origination. But, yeah, the element of surprise mostly become my anticipation toward the series. So i hope its not backstab me, like the previous season anticipation one. Lets see how far this series goes. |

| Has a sense of style, but I was totally disinterested. Might be good, might be bad, we'll see. Ending is reeeeealy nice. |
| OP and ED are banger, it fits the theme. VA's are also good, love Kate the most, will watch till the end for sure, i love this mysterious, unusual vibe. |
| Just hanging in there, totally unsure of what is going on. Hey, it's anime so anything is possible. Just tone down the squealing blonde doll. Yikes........ |
 |
| I've read the manga beforehand and this was nice. I'm hoping cloverworks doesn't ruin it but the visuals + op/ed give off good signs. |
 |
| So can any Manga readers tell me if it did justice to the Manga? |

| Great first episode. I will admit, however, that it felt way more light hearted then I thought it would. Although, I get the feeling that this show may not stay this light hearted for long based off the vibes I got from the intro. The ED was also incredible. Looking forward to see where this show goes. |
  ★・・・・・・★ If you wish to treat this incident as our nation’s scheme, that is fine by me. History is written by the victors. All of your false accusations will soon be erased. ★・・・・・・★ |
| The OST is sure damn wonderful! and since its from CloverWorks, expectations are high... 5/5. |
 |
| That was really good! It was really interesting and very unique, I like it. There's also a lot of mystery in here, like what are the shadows or how the dolls were made and all that. OP is pretty good but the ED was a straight up banger. Definitely thought something bad was gonna happen somewhere in the episode, but it was just creepily wholesome... for now probably. Well this has a lot of potential, looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| This anime has a slightly dark and horrific atmosphere. It feels like it could go the direction to be a psychological horror anime. |
 |
| Wow that's a really interesting premise. Will probably watch this 'til the end. Plus that ED was a banger. |

TweedleDane said: Every bit as brilliant as I expected it to be . Just loved the atmosphere . Nothing mind-blowing happened , but my god the dark underlying tones all the scenes gave away . I love it when they actually spent time me to give the characters a...... Life. And the ed song is just brilliant . The op was .... Nothing special to me . I dunno why , I was expecting a banger of an op for an anime like this. probably because of anime's theme . Ending should have been opening, opening should have been ending. Actually I like this switch |
 |
| I watched the first episode only because I was bored but I actually liked the first ep already. I hope I'll end up liking it even more. |
| Having read 3 volumes of the manga yet, it's an excellent episode as I had imagined! The chara-design is super neat, while resembling Yakusoku no Neverland, who himself recommended this manga/anime. No wonder from CloverWorks. The opening and the ending are INSANE! |
| Positive first impressions. The backgrounds are really nice in this series. I am interested to learn more about this world. OP and ED are both really strong too. |
| I must say this was one of the most intriguing episodes of the current season. I wonder how they will take this further. |
