Episode 9 – Apocalypse Hotel

About a month ago, I predicted Hotel Revelation No conclusions will be drawn until I make me cry. I said: The task is completed.

However, we don’t need to dig out our emotional climax immediately. Accommodation at the hotel this week was ambitious and multifaceted. For example, the first photo shows us that the staff built a smaller reception desk for Yachiyo that can be used at work, a good follow-up to delve into the topic of disability last week. They saw her struggle and accommodated her together. We also saw her browsing the hotel more easily, and the animator clearly thought about how she could be everywhere inside the new tank. This is manifested in some very interesting details, such as the tread marks she left on the sofa, but overall, this level of attention continues to be based on the material. Ponco finally restored her old body, and I have two thoughts on it. While there is no single “correct” way of portraying disability, I think a narrative and thematically like Yachiyo might be more interesting. Hotels are constantly evolving, and these accommodations are another way to portray it as a more inclusive space for all of the Galaxy.

Anyway, no matter what the lower half of her, Yachiyo is still Yachiyo. She is the little thing’s stick. She cares about the staff (mostly). She solved the problem of fist. Ponko formally introduces her fiancé to cover all these basics and it’s fun to watch the vomited Yachiyo turn from indignation to acceptance so quickly. That was probably the most humane she ever had. Additionally, Yachiyo is in charge of the critical moments of the episode when she insists that Ponko and Ponstin not only promise to attend their wedding dates, but also combine it with Mujina’s funeral. After all, pushing the owner’s hotel pearls into the ridiculous direction is Yachiyo’s bread and butter.

This episode also enriches Ponko’s background, ultimately enhancing the final tear-jerking moment. When she was a child, she was not suitable for her peers and her grandmother became their important friend. Zoom in, it’s a microcosm of what happened to the entire Procione clan, where the destructive turf war in their hometown forces families to escape and rely on each other. After Mujina’s death, the grief of losing her home recovered. Now make sure they can never return. At the same time, though, this sadness illuminates the importance of gingarou. Their place welcomes the manners of all diaspora. Now, this is a powerful statement.

At the same time, Mugina’s fate has never been ambiguous. When she visited Ponko at work and asked Yachiyo to enjoy a private room and a camera, it was obvious that she had no expectations of being able to attend the wedding for a long time. She tried her best to leave a last surprise for everyone, which was her spicy and love for her granddaughter. While I tend to take this for granted when watching anime, I should say how wonderful it is to center on the intergenerational correlation between multiple women. The bond between Yachiyo, Ponko and Mujina forms the heart of the episode. Although the wedding may be the focus, the prospective husband Ponstin is basically set. This is good for the narrative. Yachiyo and Ponko are two of the most important characters on the show, and spending the extra time on Mujina brings benefits to emotional conclusions. The final shot shows a tearful Punk hug and thanks Yachiyo for everything he did, and Mujina’s spirit looks at them with joy.

But we can’t forget that Hotel Revelation. Direct catharsis is not on the menu. Among the biggest achievements that could end the series, the wedding and funeral combination is beautiful, creepy, fun, sad, and a suitable synthesis of its cosmic theme. The great absurdity of life and death literally intertwined on the roof of the gourd, and Hotel Revelation Think this is the reason for the celebration. I love it and I especially like the commitment to this idea. Directly behind the bride and groom, supporting Mujina’s open coffin is both a ridiculous and pathological sight, and a touching touch on the peaks of life and valleys.

Not surprisingly, the anime’s execution of this crazy concept is also top notch. We see the setting and reward of the ceremony. Editing refers to, and enhances comedy timing, such as when cutting off Fuguri’s dirty jokes, or when the camera jumps to the Bumbuku bubble after Yachiyo cuts her mother to two-thirds. The attendees were filled with creative alien designs – just pausing any crowd and attracting all kinds of lads and critters. Overall, it looks like a bright and colorful party full of lights and flowers, suitable for the atmosphere Yachiyo wants to achieve.

Yes, in the end, this episode made me cry. Mujina’s pre-recorded news opened the floodgates and her song opened the water factory. She hopes Ponko has a better life than hers, while reminding everyone that they are now lost. life and death. Past and future. Family and culture. These emotions bring beauty and bittersweetness. Hotel RevelationThe comedy has never been questioned, and it has previously managed to blend puns and poignantness with clever writing and guidance. However, this level of proficiency in the new emotional register helps further consolidate Gingarou as a place for the anime season.
