The mystery of Shadows House

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI7delsryVI - 9:04

     The mystery behind the anime Shadows House, which is explained in the video that I use for this 

reflection, is why I started watching it when the episodes started.  What I'm interested in most in an anime 

is its story and taking not too many episodes (or time if it's a movie) to tell it in a way that makes sense or 

for it to lead to a continuation.  Shadows House certainly did that for me with its first season due to its 

interesting characters, world, and style, which contribute to a story, but I can also see how the first season 

ends by suggesting a second season, which I hope is something that we get, preferably sooner rather than 

later.

Between work, activities, family life, and social media, our minds are always moving. We rarely take time to contemplate and ask, why am I watching this anime? What’s the point of all this? And, how is this making me feel?  2. Put away all distractions  (phones, work, etc.) We are so enslaved to things that stimulate our minds.
