Review of Shadows House

This anime is such a shame. Because if I were to rate the first 10 episodes, I'd have rated it 9 or 10/10 easily. While the animation is pretty lackluster and unimaginative, it is faithful and had a nice pacing. But there's the remaining 3 episodes... how did it go from being a masterpiece to a disappointing forgettable animes season. Just what did go wrong indeed... The story is great, at least in the first 10 episodes. It is faithful (with a few changes but understandable) to the manga, and the pacing is really well. The story builds up a great mystery story with a lot ofinteresting unanswered questions that would make anyone wanna watch just to answer those questions.
It's all great stuff... until cloverworks said "nah".
Like I said, the last 3 episodes were a complete disaster. Completely disregarding the build up that the story created. It was rush, it was completely plot-armor dependent, and it was boring because there isn't any feeling of danger or tense in the final episode.
And how it ended... Oh God. I wanna forget about it.

The characters are pretty good, at least in the first 10 episodes. The remaining 3 episodes rushed out their developments and they really got ripped off by the developments they should've gotten (basing from the manga). I don't have anything much to say.

The animation, like I said, is pretty generic. It does have some good scenes here and there, but the overall direction is pretty boring for the most part. It's just a copy-paste from the manga panels.

The music is good. The opening is not my cup of tea, but the ed is so banger that I have to rate it high just because of that. It's so good that I'm still playing it in my playlist after a month or so of constantly playing it.

Overall, just a disappointing and forgettable anime season that I won't recommend. If you really wanna watch this, I recommend watching only the first 10 episodes. Or much better, just read the manga.
