And THIS is how you do a Halloween episode! Spooky, fun, cute, and a chance for pretty much everyone to make an appearance. Perfect job. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป Looking forward to more.

This and the cafe feels like expanded concepts based on the cosplay illustrations, which I don't dislike at all. Especially with something of a more AU concept. Really, all they need is an Alice in Wonderland parody.

And just like that the series is gone once more again, at least this time we won't have to wait years.

A very fitting episode for Halloween and a great finale, there was a lot of silliness going on at that hotel, but at the same time it got a bit real near the end when it was revealed that Nene was already dead, I had a feeling that was the case when Frankenhiko couldn’t recall how he got to the hotel, and poor Sakura was confined in a room but I’ll take that flashback we got of her, she looked beautiful there. But things went back to being goofy again when Nene criticized the hotel after all she experienced, can’t end the lighthearted spin-off on a bad note can we lol.

It was nice getting another four episodes of this cute spin-off for another October, a lot of good bits in this one like last time, some silly and some more serious, all great of course, and I’d gladly take four more episodes too, but thankfully we got an actual Season 2 coming next year, so next up for me is a way past due rewatch of the original show, I haven’t seen it since I watched it weekly back in Winter 2020 and I’ve had the Bluray for a few years as well, just never got around to rewatching it lol, but the time to finally do it has now come, can’t wait to see it all again even if folks had issues with it.

Finally a longer segment, which is still half of normal length episode.

The whole anime is already fit Halloween theme so to make a Halloween episode needs even more bizarre situation.

They're not completely charmless, but I'm losing my attachment to the characters this long out from a real season. I don't think I'll bother with another of these shorts.

@MoonSpider They are not. Most episodes adapted from spin off manga including cafe episode. Episode 4 and this episode, episode 8 is based on AidaIro's Twitter events. AidaIro runs some events in special occasions such as halloween, valentine's day etc. Illustrations are spesifically made for the episodes.

@meyve Ok, fair, I don't even know what "twitter events" are, so I feel like my assumption wasn't too far off the mark, though I appreciate the added information.

A fun last episode, costumes were fire. That ending illustration is background worthy.

Nice set of short episodes overall. Just as charming as the ones from Part 1, though I think I found the ones from Part 1 slightly more enjoyable.

6/10
