Nate RFB posted:Try watching the credits while matching it up against the knowledge we have been given (up to this point) about the relationship between shadows and faces. I'm not too sure what it's implying. Is it Dolls absorb their shadows and become some sort Shadow doll hybrid, or the reverse? Or is what Edward did unique?

There's definitely some hybrid thing going on with Edward but at this point, it's unclear as to who's in the pilot's seat for that and if it's merely a one off. I should get revealed as to the extent in the next ep or two, I think

It didn't really come together for me until the first episode of the anime shoved the train and coal at you in the very beginning, but now I get more of an industrial revolution vibe from the whole thing, where the upper class are literally parasites sustained by sacrificing the children of the workers. And that upper class uses the power of "soot," which is a malignant force even when not actively being wielded by them.

And that upper class uses the power of "soot," which is a malignant force even when not actively being wielded by them. There's something I dunno "ironic"? That the soot brainwashing might just be lead poisoning from the toxins from burning coal. e to add: I think something else though that's not quite right is that it's the industrial revolution that ultimately shakes off the old rule of the aristocracy. Between the shift to constitutional monarchies or otherwise outright revolutions as a result of World War 1; maybe you could say they are "reap"ing the benefits of the industrial revolution as represented by their soot powers and coal. I think another interesting way to look at it is that maybe they came into power quite recently; with the Grandfather figuring out how to turn the Fey soot creatures into "people" aka a sort of living machine, their duplication leading to more power and wealth i.e mass production. Like a Henry Ford or Alfred Nobel like figure, figuring out a new method and then exploiting it for wealth and power. Literally a "coal" baron! The soot also I don't think is inherently malignant; the soot coals they provide the workers is malignant, but its probably mixed in with the coal they mine themselves. A sort of poison; I'm not sure where that fits in as a thematic metaphor for something, maybe something like the noblisse oblige being fake? Afterall the newly born shadows seem quite often to have very human morals and morality; they seem like very neutral creatures who are raised/conditioned into buying in the propaganda of the Shadows House hierarchy or risk being dissolved?

apparently they're doing an anime-original ending? this series wasn't likely to get a s2 anyway so it's not a big deal but you could definitely feel it pivot out of the normal pacing/progression here

I wound up falling off the show due a combination of real life commitments, E3 week, and honestly just being so much more interested and invested in the current manga arc than seeing the debut again even as cool as it was (also lots of little changes here and there that were a little deflating). It would be a big shame even if expected if it did an anime original ending because it's been such a good story post all of this.

I'm hoping for an anime-original climax that doesn't affect any potential further seasons too drastically, it should be fairly straightforward to do something like that with this set-up.

The anime ending didn't really change anything plot wise just was more a cut off point. Show should easily be able to get into more of the manga

The only major thing it skipped was the "ghost" and that's not a hard thing to fix

For something this interesting, I'm surprised how little attention Shadows House got (that I was aware of at least). I still wouldn't know anything about it if I hadn't been laying around after work a few days ago and then remembered mention of a potentially interesting anime about shadow doppelgangers or something. I figure it's because it's not on Crunchyroll and there's little to no fanservice. Then again, it must have been reasonably popular, or how did it get a second season? Even this thread is super short.

it ran in the most stacked season in recent history and is a slow-burn story. though tbh every season has a couple good shows that don't catch on here. this one at least had a thread at all

The Mushishi thread only ever hit around 6 pages, even though it would rate as an all-time classic for lots of posters.

The manga's good at least, and not hard to find. I haven't gotten to this part of the anime yet, but this page might be my favorite so far. I love it so much and I hope the anime does it justice. It's also an ideological victory, in a way. This is the moment Kate and Em win, and everything after that is formality. And this page is how we know Kate will get her revolution. (spoiled because I don't know when or if the anime mentions this).

It assumes you've seen S1 - no recap or anything - but aside from that there's no real drop in quality. Also, John continues to be a himbo who doesn't bother thinking things through.

How did they resolve the changes from the end of S1 or did they not get around to it? I'm in the same sort of problem I had with S1 where I'm super invested in the current manga chapters so I'd rather just come back to the anime when it's all out rather than feel compelled to follow it weekly.

there were no changes to resolve, it was a self-contained arc that didn't change the status quo

Didn't they completely axe the mysterious shadowy figure that they meet up with at night? That was a catalyst for a lot of the next few big story beats.

They did, but that was from a while before the anime-only stuff, near the start of the manga.
