In episode 11, “Dig holes, but don’t open them!” hotelier robot Yachiyo (voiced by Shirasagi Saho) takes a day off to explore the Earth, where no humans live.
Yachiyo wanders around, sits around a campfire with animals, ventures into ruins, and finds a broken robot that’s stopped working. Throughout this “journey,” Yachiyo barely speaks a line, and viewers can only imagine her feelings from her trivial expressions and gestures.
The charm of “Apocalypse Hotel” lies in the comical interactions between its unique characters, but the 11th episode had a completely different, quiet atmosphere from the previous episodes.
Many viewers were captivated, saying, “It was a great episode that showed what Yachiyo was thinking just from the images…”, “It was a touching episode even though there were almost no lines,” “There were almost no lines, but why did the tears come to my eyes?” and “It was quiet and beautiful.”
The 11th episode of the anime “Apocalypse Hotel ” has been airing since June 17. The charm of the show lies in the antics of its characters, but the ambitious attempt to have “almost no dialogue” is a stark departure from previous episodes. The episode has been met with praise, such as “quiet and beautiful” and “a divine episode…”.
The anime ” Apocalypse Hotel ” is an original work jointly planned by CyberAgent and Cygames Pictures, set on Earth long after humanity has disappeared. The story depicts various dramas that occur when an unknown extraterrestrial life form visits the hotel “Galaxy Tower” in Ginza, Tokyo, where the hotel’s robot, Yachiyo, works.
