When I first started watching, I wasn't sure that I would really enjoy it, but after watching it, I can definitely say that I was wrong. It was actually a pretty fun watch. Some bits were a bit predictable for me, but it in no way detracted from the quality of the show—just because I was aware something would happen didn't mean I knew how it would happen.

So the two protagonists—Kate and Emilico—are two young girls living in the Shadows House ~~roll credits~~ where they both seem to have a different approach to living life. Kate—the Shadow Master of the pair—seems to be more concerned in the material how's and why's of the world around her. Whereas Emilico—the Living Doll of the pair—at first seems to be the air-headed type of girl that just wants to play around and have a fun time. But it is quickly shown how both are actually two side of the same coin. While they are definitely two separate people, at their core it feels like they are similar enough.

Outside of the two main protagonists, my favorite character would probably be John. It seems like he would be a fun guy to hang out around. And almost every time he's on screen, it feels like he's seconds away from bringing out The Power of Friendship to try and overcome any obstacles he may face. And he seems like the perfect counter to his Living Doll Shaun who is more collected and cautious.

While all of the anime basically takes place within the grand mansion of the Shadows House, because of Emilico's energy in her approach of life, it always feels a bit like an adventure wherever she goes. But behind that, the anime is always setting up questions and mysteries that are meant to keep the viewer interested beyond the adventurous tone. In my opinion, the mysteries are a little predictable, but I will reiterate how that doesn't detract at all from the quality of the show. And while there are some questions that haven't explicitly been answered yet, it still feels like the season of the anime wrapped itself up quite nicely.

I've noticed how in some mystery shows, when there are some questions that haven't been answered the show feels empty at the end. Like, you would be disappointed if the show didn't continue. I don't feel like that's the case with shadows House. If there isn't going to a second season of the show, I feel like I would be content with the show that I saw.

Despite all that, however, I don't think this show is perfect. There are still some qualities that I just don't agree with—like how the structure of the family seems so very arbitrary and idiotic—but that's just me nitpicking at some of the qualities of the show. It's still a great show all around.

All-in-all, I would say this is a great show to watch if you're into adventures, mysteries, and cute girls doing cute-girl things.
