| Dude, I completely underestimated the final sequence from last episode. You're telling me Yachiyo was actually stranded for decades on space? That was wild, I was expecting it to be a gag. But no, not only was it actually real and everyone grew up, but the hotel changed with it. Many more extraterrestrial guests and Ponko is the new acting acting acting manager looking like a proper adult and even seeing someone. The new Yachiyo is much more emotionally driven, with new Lego hands, tank controls and still insisting on shampoo hats. Her rebellious phase after not being able to provide service was also unexpected. For moment I wasn't even sure it was her or one of the other racoons on a tank for some reasons. And that fight with Ponko was not only touching but full of the actions expected from Cygames money. Easily the best episode so far. |

| ONE OF THE BEST EPS EVER TO ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS EVER!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YACHIYO WENT GULL YANKEE AND EVEN STARTED INDIRECTLY ATTACKING THE SERVICE BOTS IN HER BLIND RAGE!!! Incredible stuff, glad Ponko brought her back to her senses. I do feel for Yachiyo, but ultimately Ponko did the best she could for Yachiyo's eventual return, in the same way Yachiyo would for humans. |
| This was crazy! Didn't expect to see grown up Ponko; or a half-tank Yachiyo; or a hal-tank Yachiyo becoming a rebel; or a mech fight Yachio vs Ponko! |
| The previous episode was by far my least favorite so far... but it was a build-up to the next one. These unexpected heights of absurdity and unpredictability are why anime originals are worth extra attention. The way we only saw Mr. Babeh in a single staid distant shot makes me think his systems are winding down. That might be the next episode's topic. |

| Holy shet, they went HARD on animation. This anime is sure one of a kind, funny and so well produced. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| This anime really is peak. Each episode is better than the previous one. This one was especially good; it was funny, emotional, and the animation was top tier. It's really my favorite of the season. |
 |
| I feel like ponko aged up her human design to take over as the manager, because they spent decades and decades if not century and her appearance stayed the same, but she had a glow up in only 20 years? |
| Yachiyo returns, unfortunately broken and crippled down to a cartoon robot tank. the time skips are merciless. Ponko will marry soon... I guess I have never seen a disabled humanoid robot, it was funny at first to see the mini tank as lower half. All the obastacles for Yachiyo were hitting a bit too hard afterwards, especially when she wanted to write and could not hold the pen. The fight was crazy and especially well made out of nowhere, but earlier fights also looked good. |

| Yachio may not like it, but she's now part of Ponko's defence systems. Yarrchio was a menace lmao |
 |
| More ridiculous, random timeskips for no reason, coupled with an explicit date that simply can't be correct given how many timeskips we've had so far (with how much time has been skipped, it has to be at least 2500, long past 2345 at the very least). Rather than time-skipping again, I'd have much rather have more time with Yachiyo in space rather than just bringing her straight back to earth to jump into an absurdly well-animated fight scene. A very stupid fight scene that kind of relies on going against everything Yachiyo has been up to this point, but good animation is good animation so whatever. I just can't seem to quite come to terms with the fact that this show is choosing to go in a direction very different to the one I was hoping for from the fantastic first few episodes. It's not a bad direction in and of it itself, but to me just nowhere near as good as what it could have been. |
| holll up am i missing out thooo |
 |
| Lmao wtf this episode was insane. Given 1000 guesses I don't think I would have thought that the episode that followed Yachio getting stranded in space would go like this, but I loved it. |
| I cant get a grasp of timelines in this show but I will just try not to focus on that. Yachio was up there a long time alone though due to interference I am not sure she experienced the full time or was non operational a lot of it. Ponko is still cute. I feel for Yachio feeling useless and replaced. |

| Regardless of personal feelings, this show is a breath of fresh air Original, comedic, a great mixture of drama and absurdity Doesn't really make sense, but that's the beauty of the show This is one of those insane, over the top 90s anime in a 2020 salsa...and it's working pretty well I guess gacha games save anime |
| May our sweet and Merciful Madoka be with you |
| An emotional Yachio means she'll start being irrational. Not the kind of character development I was hoping for. |

| WHAT TF IS EVEN GOING ON ANYMORE????? HOW TF DID YACHIYO END UP AS A DAMN TANK TДT) |
| I was certain, at some point, that the preposterous events of this episode were all Yachiyo's "dying hallucinations" - either while in LEO orbit around the Earth or, more likely, in that malfunctioned robot scrap dump, which Yachiyo also finally joined. In other words, should the latter have been the case, everything we've seen since the first vegetable-like alien showed up was all dreamed up by Yachiyo as she was "dying". That would have made far more sense than the events of this show. And yet everything that happened, everything we've seen, the multitude of alien guests who all look like they were drawn by someone high on long expired acid, the nigh immortal Tanuki aliens who take 2 - 3 centuries to reach adolescence, their equally immortal solar cells which provide them with power after 3 - 4 centuries, their endless supply of rocket fuel and structural materials required to launch three stage missiles to LEO orbit, and the expertise to build them, among many many others... we are all supposed to take all that at face value? Btw, how can the Hotel host all those alien guests when it is armed to the teeth with air-to-space missiles and Ponko launches missiles first and asks questions later? I still hold some hopes the entire story was dreamed up by Yachiyo in her final moments. That's because it has the "logic" and structure of a dream: anything and everything goes, whether it makes sense or not, as long as we can imagine it. No self-consistency is required, and common sense does not even enter the picture. |
 |
| Ponko is all grown up 🥺 |
 |
| Ponko: Yachiyo I'm sorry that I couldn't rebuild your arms and legs. I had to use all the good parts on this sick as fuck giant Mech suit that you will destroy once you have a breakdown from not being able to perform your duties. I hope you understand. |
| Ohh adult Ponko, so much time elapsed since Yachiyo got lost in space but now she's back even though she had to mentally suffer and get a tank body xD great conclusion |
 |
| Such a good episode!!! Got me in my feels. Also how Yachiyo became disabled and radicalized bc the ways that the spaces around her weren’t built to include her gets me in the feels. Especially the part with the steps and her lil tank body couldn’t fit through and there weren’t any accommodations for the pens and any work for her to do 🥺. This episode makes me think a lot, and what a hidden gem this anime is! |
| desu desu binches |
| This was a strange episode. At first, I thought it was all just a dream. A lot of things still haven’t been explained, like why no one tried to rescue Yachiyo when they already had a spaceship, or what happened to the rest of the family. They only mentioned the grandma. And how did Ponko even get a boyfriend? Like… what? I really hope we get some answers in the next episode. |
| With Yachiyo gone and stranded in space, Pinko assumes as the after-acting manager of Hotel Gingarou, grown to a dignified young lady and taking care of the hotel in her stead, though the hotel has transformed to quite the specification of hers, and almost blasting Yachiyo into bits and pieces when she descended down back to Earth. And it's interesting of how Owner wants his hotel to be filled with the spirit of heartfelt hospitality through the robots that have been given their own spirit, though the world back then was inching closer to humanity's extermination as Yachiyo witnessed herself of the humans' rise and downfall. The timeskip of 50 years since the solar flare, and Yachiyo having her lower body be replaced with a tank due to the unavailability of spare parts, though Hotel Gingarou is more vibrant and filling with guests throughout...though her practices have been phased out in favour of the things that guests would appreciate better, Still, it's funny to see how desperate Yachiyo wants to get back to working, though Ponko has to take care of her ailing Grandma Mujina, and creates quite the ruckus with her tank body by firing missiles willy-nilly, something that Ponko doesn't appreciate of Yachiyo turning into quite the delinquent that disproves of how the hotel is run anew without her. Still, this is quite the emotional reunion between sisters, and Yachiyo gets to retain her former position, while working together with Ponko to create new things to keep the hotel's tradition alive. Still can't keep away from the shampoo hats eh, Yachiyo? |
 |
| Honestly I'm a bit done with anime producers using mecha whenever they're trying to do 'creativity' |
LanzJul 19, 11:10 PM
| This episode is perfect. |
| Yachiyo is back and in the form of a rebel tank... Lol That's unexpected news! Decades here pass like mere days. It's good that the hotel has survived and remained in good condition. But I think changing so much was a bad idea. Anyway. I didn't expect Yachiyo to be so intolerant of change. And that battle, besides being absurd, was also good! |

| Unexpectedly impactful this show continues to be. Did not foresee whatsoever getting emotional over a shampoo hat. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| This episode was just ridiculous, absurd, insane, and I love it! this anime is truly the hidden gem of spring 2025. |
| wtf did I just watch !? Till the end I was hoping it's all just some weird hallucinations Yachiyo is having after that solar flare struck her during EVA in the previous ep, but nope :/ |
| SHAMPOO HAT NASHI!!! That was an amazing episode. I'm almost positive that that entire fight was referencing some other anime but I can't figure out which one. |
