The final three episodes of Apocalypse Hotel are pretty representative of this quirky little original anime as a whole. The story goes all over the place and spans the genres from murder mystery to calm walking simulator to dramatic (mostly) space opera. And yet, throughout it all, the one constant

Apocalypse Hotel Ep. 9 "Bookmark Today's Page in Our Guests' Lives" is a very strange episode. On one hand, it's a deeply tragic episode involving the death of a major member of the cast and its aftermath. On the other hand, it's also a heartfelt episode about Ponko and her love life. Alas, it's
