Emilico, Kate, and their friends begin to grow a spirit of revolution between them, but their power remains limited and the mysteries and dangers of Shadows House loom ever larger. Although Kate and Emilico quickly grow to trust and value each other, other Dolls are treated with less kindness, slowly being trained to relinquish their individuality until only the Shadow remains. Therefore, each relies on their Living Doll in order to interact with the world. Kate and her fellow nobility are Shadows: people who constantly emit soot from their bodies, and who consequently appear completely black and faceless.
In the first season, we are introduced to cheerful and kindhearted Emilico, who has just been assigned as a special personal servant known as a Living Doll to the highborn girl Kate. Loosely based on the manga of the same name, Shadows House has aspects of fairy tale, allegory, and Victorian gothic drama in the mix. Now Season 2 is coming down the pike, giving viewers another chance to discover the many mysteries of this new series.
Shadows House is one of the hidden gems of the 2021 anime season, a delightfully spooky yet heartwarming ride through the world of the noble Shadows and their Living Dolls that gained a loyal following but not quite as much attention as it really deserved.
