| What a surprise! Masaki didn't do anything to those new guests. I thought he would do something to them, especially with the kid. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| A musician, a kid who wants to become an astronaut, and a little kitty. Interesting trio. Surprisingly wholesome episode this time. |

| This was a really sweet and wholesome episode am glad the boy got to go home and see his mom again. |
| After all the chaos Oosoto caused, it was time for a calmer episode. Well the reason was that this time there was no woman to murder. It was interesting to get a glimpse into Atori's past and how he regained his passion for music with the help of his favorite artist. I hope they delve more into Ruri's story as it seems she had problems with her mother from what she said. |

| A much more calm and sedate, peaceful episode this time around. That's not a demerit. I adore the balance and see-saw in this show where it alternates and teeters between cozy, ornate, old-fashioned hotel filled with friendly strangers you wouldn't mind holing up through a whole cold season with room service or maybe even spending an eternity in versus being violently shoved to the precipice of hell and oblivion. It was probably more peaceful as well this go-around due to neither of the main featured guests being our resident serial killer Osoto's "type". As in, young and vulnerable, confused and distressed looking women. He already commented to Ruri that he doesn't like kids, so let's assume that's true. And I'd surmise that he isn't interested in older men either. One detail this episode confirmed which may not affect anything but I consider it interesting to know is that apparently non-human animals can make it to the hotel as well. Since this is the first instance when that happening with one, the cat, has been shown. Perhaps the rules around them are slightly different. Perhaps they only appear when dead and never in the uncertain in-between states of temporary unconsciousness from injury, syncope, a comatose state, etc. Maybe they can only come while accompanying a human guest to serve as some form of animal guide and assistance to them, and therefore it's usually probably domesticated pet animals like cats and dogs versus wild animals. But noteworthy whatever the truth of it. |
| Episode 5 had me feeling the anime, but this one didn't do anything for me. The story is so flat. We get a drop of development for Haruto, but what else did the story have to say? In the words of his coach, this "doesn't touch my heart at all." |
| We're back to the earlier tone of this anime, and best bloke Masaki did not induce someone to die. Clearly he is only targetting female guests. With all the drama in the forum these past two episodes, maybe it's a nice break before Masaki will, to paraphrase Atobe, awe as with his prowess of getting away with murder. |

Neko with neko! Although neko wouldn't admit it, but what a pair!
Neko wouldn't know. She said Atori can keep the Saxophone as a memory. That would be normal if it were a fan meeting an idol. But Atori knew; Okawa left the Saxophone to him to encourage him to pursuit his music once again.

| @Akaseaka Although neko(猫) means cat in Japanese, Neko's name doesn't use the cat kanji. It uses 音子, which is sound plus child. ETA: If Neko behaves in a way that's similar to a cat, just like Maōmaō from Apothecary Diaries, which uses two cat characters 猫猫, it's probably a wordplay. |

| HARUTO! I CAN'T FIND YOUR PASSION! YOUR PLAY DOESN'T TOUCH MY HEART AT ALL. . . . I would say something more productive, but that had me snickering up until they showed the clip AGAIN which, at that point, I let out a whole guffaw. |

| @Swiggy I couldn't stop laughing at that 😭 I feel bad for laughing at Atori's trauma but them playing it twice was hilarious. |
My destiny is... |
| A episode on the lighter side which I appreciate. I was wiping literal tears by the end of it though hahaha When I saw the new guests were an old man and a kid (+ a cat), I thought "Osoto better not show up this episode" lol. When he appeared, "stay away, stay away". Good job Neko for the jab when the cat and kid were afraid of him. Of course, Ruri would be avoiding you too lol Good news: you met your idol. Bad news: it's one step before the afterlife. I can only imagine the conflict in Atori's heart. He immediately knew who he was :') But it's fun how Neko's fangirl side always gets a bit of spotlight every episode. She is so chill and carefree. The ending with Ogawa's real final performance was very nice, with the cat going to his side, aww. For Shota, I have friends irl who also have asthma but seemed to get to a better condition enough that they can take care of pets now, so maybe he'll be able to get close to cats in the future too hehe We are now halfway the series so I expect the tone would be on the heavier side again from the next week - we will talk about Osoto again, and the causes of his and the human employees' stay in the hotel. Thought: I am not sure if Ogawa was able to ask Atori why he is in Tasokare Hotel. But it's funny to think that Ogawa will wonder: Is Atori really human? Why is he a concierge in an otherworldly establishment? |

| Finally a wholesome episode after the past 3 episodes of darkness. Horuto's past is interesting and I can relate to him to a certain extent. "I spent my life going with the flow", can definitely relate. I was scared that maybe Masaki will use that boy as his test subject again in this episode, so the ending was a relief, seeing the kid returning home safe. |
