Review of Shadows House

Shadows House is a worthy watch for anyone, who wants some cute characters in an unsettling situation. However, the anime stays faithful to the manga only for 10 episodes. So, I recommend stopping there and reading the manga. (Below the next section I'm telling a bit about episodes 11-13 without spoilers) -->If you're gonna READ THE MANGA, A few chapters are a must read,which the anime skipped. *Episode 1's opening is different from chapter 1 and ending is slightly different from - chapter 7. *Episode 2 skips chapter 9. *--->MAJOR CUTEpisode 4 cuts chapters 19-20. Read chapter 18 just in case, since the episode takes
some panels from it. (Can read before watching the episode)

The last chapter adapted semi-closely is chapter 47 in episode 11 that is affected by the MAJOR CUT from episode 4. After this, the entire episode adapts only chapters 47,51 and 61 while skipping overall 12 chapters at once, and it can be only felt as a rushed way to bring everything together for the anime-only-plot that starts at the end.
Now the last 3 episodes of the anime aren't at all horrible, a bit awkward yes but not nearly as bad as Cloverwork's other stuff like The Promised Neverland season 2 or Wonder egg Priority's ending. The crew clearly tried with this one as they either realized they had too many episodes or they just didn't want to leave it on a cliffhanger. Also apparently the people/person the manga has stated that they are going to try to write this in for season 2, so lets hope it works.

Overall I really, really LOVED this anime. I originally did actually stop at episode 10 when episode 11 hadn't even aired as I was near the edge of my seat at the end of it. If this doesn't tell you how good it was, I don't know what else to tell you. It has a very good ending and soundtrack overall, very classy music. Fits the theme well. The art is very pretty and detailed and the animation isn't stiff. There are lots of different characters with different personalities and they are really fun and interesting. And man, the story is just starting and is surrounded in mystery that'll be revealed slowly.

Score for episodes 1-10. Story: 10. Art: 10. Sound: 10. Character: 10. Enjoyment: 10. Overall: 10
Score for episodes 11-13. Story: 5. Art: 8. Sound: 10. Character: 4. Overall: 4.
