I've only seen the show, but I think there are four options-
1. The character's introduction is moved to later on.
2. The character's introduction is removed (or incredibly shortened) but they still appear later in the story (ex. Arte).
3. The character is removed but their dialouge and importance in the story are given to other characters (ex. Nodame Cantabile).
4. The character, their dialouge/scenes and importance to the story are all completely removed rather than the latter two being given to other characters.
1 is ideal, 2 and 3 aren't good but aren't the worst things ever and 4 is worst case scenario. I wouldn't be surprised if they had to fit in a certain amount in this episode and had to skip or move the intro while having them show up later on, but I guess we'll just have to see. A large reason Horimiya and TPN 2 ended up the way they did was because the manga for both were ending or had ended at the time they were being made, so idk where manga readers think the plot is in the manga (middle, towards the end, etc.) but I don't think they will rush through it unless it's for that reason. Then again, Blue Exorcist happened so you never know.

Like seemingly every other anime only, I enjoyed the episode. I'll have the manga ready just in case though.

I get the feeling something tragic is gonna happen towards the end of this series. Like one of the dolls is gonna get damaged beyond repair.

Also, side note. I love that ending song. Its really catchy.

that veiled doll is creepy. Reminds me of the monsters in Silent Hill.

two new friends introduced. Shaun is a decent guy, and he is has sharp senses to notice the trap. Rum has self confidence issues..

again.. Emilico talking almost non-stop like a trumpet annoyed me a bit, but still a good episode.

Dat trio is insufferable, I can handle one on its own, but with all three of em its suffocating.

Behold of my awesomeness~

Okay I didn't agree with Barbie kicking Mia but I still think she's one of the more normal dolls because of how rebellious her attitude seems to be.

Shaun is a cutie and Ricky is basically a sycophant with a forehead bigger than Russia.

this episode wasn't "bad", but it was definitely my least favorite of the 4 so far. the story wasn't advanced very much

the veiled dolls deliver food and clothes but don't speak. the front entrance is booby trapped so dolls can't leave. the dolls are all kind of assholes that don't defend or stick up for one another (some dolls are just much, much larger assholes than others)

but the remainder of the episode, walking around at night, largely doing nothing? meh. lame. knocking this down to an 8/10 instead of a 9/10 because of this episode

Despite the unfair punishment of keeping the nightwatch given by that bitch Barbie, its wholesome seeing Emilico befriending Shaun and Rum and them even solving the case.

Shaun's a good lad, Rum is way too pure for the Shadow House and well Emilico is.. Emilico ;D. So the mystery is solved and can finally get some sleep >_<

while barbie is a power-tripping doll, it's true that rum is just way too weak and naive for this type of shit. i doubt she will be casted out, due to her presence in both the opening and ending, but she definitely matches the description of a "failed doll". i don't like calling such characters annoying... can't call her anything else though. lol

fk barbie for sabotaging shaun and carl emilico, especially since emilico needs to study with kate or they won't have a well debut.

The animation is nothing less than just shy of absolutely excellent, and this setting is undoubtedly a mysterious and interesting one. However, it's still not exactly a page turner for me. Maybe I'm just comparing this too much to the promised neverland, which had a drive right from the start and didn't let up once. This one we're just kind of... chilling. Nothing wrong with that at all, it's just that maybe perhaps I wish they would just give us a little bit more into the mystery surrounding this house with each episode.

And this is another personal nitpick, but Emilico's voice does get grating on the ears at times

First time Emilico isn't annoying, she should always hang out with Shaun and Rum.

Whoa, this episode gave strong vibes similar to The Promised Neverland
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load.

Barbie... really different character trait from the one I had in my mind lol. Anyways Emilico got few more buddies, not that surprising given how easygoing she is.

There's no way i'm getting tired of the opening any time soon.
I liked Emilico better in this episode, I liked how she stood up for the rest. Now it's Rum I find annoying instead... i'm sorry but I found the finger scene to be cringey as hell
It had a scene that's just like the one we saw in the previous episode, they're in danger surrounded by monsters and Emilico is all chill and cheery about it which makes me think that wow either they failed at executing the scene or these creatures are supposed to be slow as hell because what the actual frick.....

I don't think the phantoms are connected to the debut anymore or that they are failed shadows, they just don't seem as relevant to the plot as I thought in the previous ep.

Very fun episode with Emilico. She is so joyful and charismatic. Can't wait.

Also I hate Barbie. What a douchebag.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Smart. Subtly pushing Emilico into a leadership position by giving her two teammates who can't look after their damn selves in a low-stakes environment. It's a natural way of introducing it, and this way when the Debut happens (whatever that ends up being) and she needs to take charge in order for her new friends to not die it won't be coming out of nowhere and seeming at odds with her usual timid, barely competent innocence.

Emilico was much more competent in this episode. Her sporadic bouts of extreme clumsiness earlier must've gave me the wrong impression.

Nah, Barbie is nasty. But at least we get to know about the other living doll.

This is cute tho:

I really admire the world building. I watch one episode a day for a nice slow burn. The characters and how they all interact feels very natural, even with opposing personalities they all bounce off one another well. Rumu, Shaun, and Emiliko in this episode really made me interested in seeing them together more than the others.

I just cant bring myself to hate Emilico no matter how many mistakes she makes. This poor girl is too pure for this world and she just wants to be happy and make friends.

I think Barbie's "night watch" was a thinly veiled excuse to dispose of the inept dolls by forcing them into clean-by-day and nightwatch so they spend no time preparing for the debut with their masters and therefore fail and are thrown out. Kate is exercising extreme patience, considering that her life might be on the line at this so-called "debut."
