Anime : Shadow House

f:id:higecho:20220214034042j:plain

The new animation starting broadcast in Apr/2021, adapted from the original manga.

Since the comic was serialized, it has been a hot topic. 
A story of a strange setting in which the Shadows faceless clan hires dolls as servants to live their daily lives in order to project their own figure and facial expression.

The description of shadows is like Edo paper-cutting and the perspective of the work is like the works of Tim Burton.

Created by CloverWorks (“Her Blue Sky”, “The Promised Neverland”). Directed by Kazuki Ohashi, the producer of “Monogatari Series”, ”NISEKOI: False Love” (presumably this “Shadows House” is his directorial debut).  Scripted by Toshiya Ono (“Land of the Lustrous”, “The Promised Neverland”).  Voiced by Akari Kito (“Record of Grancrest War”, “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba”), Yu Sasahara (“Over Drive Girl 1/6 - Amazing Stranger”, “Ms. Vampire Who Lives in My Neighborhood”), Koudai Sakai (“The Lost Village”, “Nobunaga Teacher's Young Bride”), Ayane Sakura (“Is the Order a Rabbit?”, “Non Non Biyori”), Reiji Kawashima, Shino Shimoji (“Aikatsu!”, “Tada Never Falls in Love”), Wataru Hatano(“Kuroko's Basketball”, “Yuri!!! on ICE“) et al.

Although most of the scenes are conversations between faceless human shadows and androids, their heartwarming communication are excellently depicted by the detailed visual representation and by the emotional performance of the voice actors/actresses.
