Took a while to get around to it but I just saw the first episode. I never read the manga so it's all new to me. The concept seems interesting and I'm curious to see where they go with it and what the deal is with this family.
Here's some speculations based on just what was in the first ep. My first impression was that this family is somehow cursed, seems like the reasonable conclusion at least.
The intro kind of suggested they're killing people and reanimating their bodies to turn them into servants/dolls, like controlled zombies, but then that wouldn't really explain why servants look like their masters. So I'm going to take a wild guess here and say the masters are actually born from the servants, probably as part of what looked like a suicide ceremony. Maybe the shadows are more dependent on dolls than they lead on. Another shot that was in the intro makes me think that maybe shadows start to become unstable after a while, and this is their "coming of age", which is when the doll or original comes into play, to help keep the shadow stable. Furthermore, they showed what looked like living soot, independent of the shadows. I think the shadows aren't really human, but are in fact living sentient soot which picks a human to act as a host, and then mimics their appearance.
This is maybe even more of a stretch, but I think they might have enslaved humans, or if nothing else are making humans create more soot to sustain and/or reproduce.
Not sure if that can be considered a spoiler since it's all guessing, but might as well.
Again just going off the first ep with no prior knowledge of the manga. You're welcome to tell me how wrong and far off I am.
