Apocalypse Hotel: A Must-Watch Anime That Didn’t Get the Needed Attention

So the anime is about a world where civilization had to leave Earth because of a newly lethal virus that spread over the planet.

It shows a hotel, Gingarou Hotel, a hotel which, before the leave of civilization, adapted newly developed robots to manage the hotel.

Why It’s a Must-Watch (In My Perspective and Opinion)

It’s not a copy, and it was crafted in a way that actually looked good for a really weird genre. It somehow managed that without making it cliché and boring.

Its designs are unique. Well, not in a way that you could call it Mob Psycho 100, but it’s still not the generic good old anime design.

It’s not about survival. Well, it is, but it’s not the main point like almost all other apocalypse shows.

Strong storytelling without telling it. The story is told through events and the hotel, the only place which still “lives” among the dead Earth.

It doesn’t try to force emotions. I don’t really know how to explain it, but rather than showing how and the lives that got affected by the event, it showed the shadow of the lives that once were taking place in the world.

The emotional depth is simple, yet it’s not easy to take it all. It represents hope in chaos in a world that was abandoned because there was no hope, with small things: routines, responsibility, and memory more than the events.

For me, it’s one of those anime which I would only remember the feeling rather than the “anime.” It’s hard to explain, but I really like it, and I recommend you watch it, especially for people who don’t like the apocalypse theme, because it’s really different than other anime.

It’s my first time writing, so if I didn’t do a good job, keep that in mind.

mine is Fruits Basket. something about it just makes everything feel a little softer when everything feels like too much tbh.

i've probably rewatched it three times now and i still tear up at the same scenes lol. there's something about the way it handles loneliness and found family that just hits different when you're going through it.

curious what other people go back to when they need a reset. could be something cozy, something emotional, anything really — just the one that feels like a warm blanket
