I am just waiting for this show to drop the emotional bomb on me one of these episodes. It has been such a great time so far, but there is something bubbling under the surface that I am sure will wreck me sooner or later. A couple times now, Yachiyo has seemed to glitch in some way, and it is being left entirely unexplained. Between that and the occasional heartfelt flashback to the hotel manager, I am preparing myself to be hurt.
Still not sure if I want to continue this one. It has some funny moments at least. The opening song is pretty painful though, super off-key.
I loved the OP.
What I heard, clear as a bell, was an overly earnest and depression-prone robot who’'s one of the few remaining who hasn’t ended up on the scrap heap, and is gamely and determinedly keeping a luxury hotel not only running but luxurious a century after humanity left the planet letting go, just a little bit, with a song that’s more upbeat than she is. For now.
I tried to find the hidden microtonal harmony, but no, it seems to be properly off key. Let’s hope they change it after 6 episodes and it turns out to be the vocals for a completely different song. (Now I got myself hyped for a 4d move that’s probably not even real.)
It’s an odd choice. The animation for the OP is fantastic, but the song is really not to my taste. It is clearly deliberate as aiko has done other anisongs and they have been more typical (she also does the ED for this show).
As I just noted in another response, I immediately heard the OP as an overly earnest and depression-prone robot a century out from human contact letting go, to the best of her ability. I thought it was brilliant.
Wasn’t quite sold on this last week, but this episode was SO GOOD. I loved that they didn’t try to explain what the alien was up to and just let them continue to be mysterious.

Okay - first off, the OP is wonderful.
The episode itself was sort of odd, but in a promising way - it touched on a number of apparent mysteries, but didn’t reveal much of anything. It’s a slow pace, but if the series remains mostly slice of life with mystery, that’ll be fine.
Still haven’t met the Tanuki family, though they’re heavily featured in both the OP and the ED.
