Apocalypse Hotel - Episode 3 discussion

How much patience one can exude without loosing sanity?

Me watching this episode:

This episode seems to have laid a possible foundation for an absolute gut punch later on when Yachiyo finds out the Tanuki family has not been entirely truthful about their... encounter with humans.

Also, damn, what awful guests lol.

Well, we finally met the tanuki family. I liked it all in all, and now Yachiyo has an assistant, and I assume the whole family is going to stick around. And Yachiyo passed a second mission - I'm assuming there's an overarching plot involving those.

Interesting that this episode was set 50 years after the last one.

I've been resisting wjs018's predictions of mood whiplash in this series just because I'd rather it not, but then they went ahead and threw a mostly implied bit in with the human ship, then made it explicit in the post-credits scene. Ah well.

The OP is still oddly clunky, but it still makes me smile anyway.

Yachiyo was really cute in this episode, from her little dance to her outbursts. As others have pointed out, there was some emotional gut punch brewing in the background, though it was a given for a left-out by humans kind of story. I hope Yachiyo (and me) could brace it
