Shadows House

both have children "trapped" in a house barely knowing the dark reality behind their lives. 

A group of children in a mansion that hides a secret and strange creatures that surround it. With a big mystery surrounding the house 

Both are set with children like characters trying to escape or change the status quo of their environment, shadows house has mystery and tension much like promised neverland, it does not reveal its main twist in the first episode but does so slowly making you curious, the twists and turns the series reveals are worth it, if you liked promised neverland, you will like shadows house, just give it a couple episodes as it starts off a bit slow. Also its better than promised neverland in my opinion. 

Same Studio, same Genres, kids in problematic situations trying to understand what type of mess they are dealing with, and the protagonists are really similar (Emilico and Emma) but i must say I prefer Neverland over Shadow House, despite the similarities. 

Both shows have children protagonists who live in a house full of mysteries and creepy vibes. If you like one of these, give the other show a try! 

I'm not sure why I've never heard back from either of my kids after sending them to boarding school. I keep waiting to hear back, but I never get a call or even a letter. Oh well; parenting is a lot of work, anyways... 

Both shows involve children that know little to nothing about their origins, living in an enclosed area where they are taught in a way that they aren't inclined to think about the odd nature of their lives.  

KIDS with some bizarre concepts and really creepy stuff delivered through an oddly sinister context The premise and setting are different, but yeah, as far from what I can tell, that's all I can tell. For it's somewhat impossible to not spoil a thing or two when describing even a single thing. Watch and be invested in it if you're really curious about what I am talking about. As for my opinion, I find the two similar due to both portraying the same ambiance and vibes. 

They got the same vibe and I would recomend this if you liked the mystery in The Promised Neverland. 

The plot resembles one another but they differ in the portrayal of their story. Genres like thriller and mystery have been exploited by both stories in the same manner. The resemblance in the anime is uncanny but even though both stories convey similar emotions to the viewer; the way they do so is distinct. 

Both of them is made by the same studio. Both of them have the same dark tone with a secret hidden without any of the main character knowing. 

They both have a really adorable art, light-hearted setting, but it gives off a creepy, mysterious vibe, like thriller. It gets you hooked in, trying to figure out what more is there to it. Although I think Shadow's house won't be quite bloody. It's also from the same studio, I hope it won't go downhill...  

Children are being contained in a house setting and are forced to do tasks not knowing that they aren’t in a normal setting. The outside world is not what it seems. 

They're both really similar since there's a mystery around the house the dolls live in. And Shadow house is an extended version of the Promised Neverland. (Mostly the first season.) 

The Promised Neverland and Shadows House are both mystery series, although the horror in it lies within the small details. They both rely on the dark atmosphere rather than jumpscares, which in some point the watcher would get used to. They are also made by the same studio, Cloverworks.  

There are several superficial and close similarities between Shadows House and The Promised Neverland, bolstering why fans of the latter should check out the new series. The most apparent similarities would be the premise of each show, which both feature small children trying to uncover and eventually escape from a dark, conspiratorial fate. In addition, their similarly macabre and almost old-fashioned fairy tale settings make the horror even more unsettling due to their mutual cute and innocent-seeming cast members. These elements make both at first seem to be entirely different shows, with Shadows House starting out feeling more like a slice-of-life series that eventually dovetails into a gothic mystery. Both franchises also have antagonists that are dark parallels to the heroes that face them. These villains appear in the form of a Royal/Noble Family, even if the former in The Promised Neverland's anime had a substantially smaller role than they did in the manga.  read more 

childlike protagonists Mystery, fantasy complex world-building cute characters but a dark plot-line 

Both have big houses, smart and tactical kids, older overseers, clues and mysteries that drive the plot, and foreshadowing to future plot points in the backgrounds for you over-analyzers.  

Maybe it's because both of these animes were created by the same studio, but Shadow's House gives me extreme Promised Neverland vibes. I don't know if it's because both have to do with children experiencing weird situations or circumstances, but it definitely feels like there's a bigger picture then what you would expect. Shadow's House doesn't have any necessarily scary scenes, but it gives me a very eerie vibe that I can't help but relate to the Promised Neverland. Shadow's House is one that I think is getting slept on this season for no exact reason. I've been thoroughly enjoying the series thus far, but I haven't really heard anyone talk about it. So I would give this one a try (especially if you like creepy elements), because I kinda want to talk about it with someone :>  read more 

Both TPN and Shadows House have children as the main cast and has that 'eerie and creepy' vibe to the anime. But Shadows House is everything that TPN could have been and more! I highly recommend to watch Shadows House over TPN. 

It has a similar vibe, theme and has a similar concept. The main difference is that in shadows the horror elements are played more lightheartedly. Episodes 5-10 also brings a similar level of suspense and intelligence as TPN. 

Both anime are about living dolls interacting with their masters and compete with each other and try to make themselves useful. 

Both series revolve around living dolls with varying personalities who serve under someone. 

The character designs are similar, both featuring victorian-esk dresses. If you loved Kate’s dress, you will enjoy the dolls dresses in Rozen Maiden.  

- Both heavily feature the topic of ‘living’ dolls, albeit in different forms - Both have characters who possess supernatural abilities - Both have a core theme of mystery - Both use Victorian-era aesthetics for inspiration 

Albeit with differin end goals, the underlying theme for both series employs shadow people that try to imitate their original human host in order to surpass them to the point where the counterfeits are near impossible to distinguish from those they try to mimic. 

Both shows main drive is the existence of doppelgangers which are actually shadows with various super powers. Some shadows turn out good but their creators are villains. Both shows are dark in their own way. 

Both shows revolve around shadows consuming and replacing people. Both shows also feature shadows as a higher being above that of humans with supernatural powers.  

The two anime share a unique setting and a world with many mysteries. Both series have wholesome, innocent scenes yet dark undertones, along with this they both have a young energetic girl as the main character. Both have a similar art style and good animation. 

Both shows feature child(-like) characters in mysterious, hostile environments, which are very unique and complex. The progression both features the main characters (and viewers) learning about the secrets of the Shadows House / the Abyss step by step. For diffrences, Shadows House has a gothic atmosphere and revolves around power struggles, while Made in Abyss is about unknown terretories and exploration.  

Overall plot is not that similar but it features girl characters in some version of Victorian England with a darker plot element. Shadows House is more slice of life supernatural mystery while Princess Principal is about a group of spies but if you like young female in dark Victorian England setting, check them out. 

Protagonists are high school aged females in a Victorian era. Both series feature young characters working in secrecy to overcome the ruling class, no matter the cost (physical, social, emotional). Both thought provoking and mystery driven, with similar period settings. 

silly front with not so silly back, plus the main characters are similar to each other 

aside from the immediately obvious use of literal-to-metaphorical (sometimes both) shadow silhouette characters playing an obtuse and strange role in the storytelling... both shows have themes of a world where there is a conspiratorial or mysterious, occult hierarchy of "pseudo-nobility" and a strong hierarchy to the sprawling yet claustrophobic places that the characters spend most of their time in (the school in utena vs the mansion in shadows house) both shows have protagonists that, while completely different in personality and style, do not conform to the surreal expectations of the almost dark fairytale worlds they live in. (interestingly, there is 1 *supporting* character in Shadows House who would fit into the world of Utena flawlessly though) both feature very strong relationships between female characters, although Shadows House does not have yuri themes (in my opinion) as the MCs in SH are primarily children while the MCs of Utena are older. the 1 character i mentioned from Shadows House who would fit into Utena world, might be the exception to this, as they sometimes have what *could* be considered romantic yuri undertones to many of their interactions with other characters. however i will leave this up to the viewer to decide. there are also many rivalries of the same "tone" or feeling between the cast, distrust and decet, as well as elitism and causing pain either because of jealousy or the sake of it. overall, both ask why the strange and conspicious, sinister society that the characters exist in, came to be this why and what secrets may lay hidden. i may edit this rec if i think of more similarities with utena, as i haven't watched it for a couple years now and may have forgotten other aspects that the two shows share in common. they are certainly connected by many of the same feelings they evoke in the viewer as well as certain aesthetic tropes that they choose to employ, though. read more 

Both anime got this creepy/horror element to the story and how they are directed. Not to mention in both anime there's mystery surrounding the settings they are at. Both are about the MCs moving one step forward at a time in finding out the "truth". There's no end to the curiosity of these two anime!!  

Both have spooky gothic like styliaztions and storytelling to it as well too and also and unusual group of characters too with some strange mysteries in it. 

-Small group of beings that use superpowers to subjugate ordinary people (slavery or worst) -They both isolate themselves from the outside world for sinister reasons -Only those who follow all rules and meet all the expectations can become adults -MCs that plan to unravel all the secrets and rebel against the system.
