We finally got to see the shampoo hats being used!

Tanuki a SHIT, you know it to be true

>>279570470
Why would flash do harm to these greedo aliens? Wouldn't the sun or light bulbs from the hotel would have done similar damage to them if light was the reason they got ill leading to their death?

What are they smoking

>>279573893
SBPTB got flashed and died much later compared to CD. I don't believe in slug killers theory. Their deaths were just some war of the worlds stuff I think.

>>279573670 (OP)
Nice

So what's the explanation for Ponko not retrieving Yachiyo as fast as possible when she was stranded in orbit?
Enough time passed for another satellite launch

>>279577782
Finding a tiny object adrift in space is like finding a needle in a haystack. On the other hand, it took them 70 years to make an orbital satellite. That's technology inferior to a spaceship capable of freely navigating in search.

>>279577864
But she's technically able to fix her spaceship, and there were tons of aliens that could have just lent theirs as hotel payment

>Yachiyo-chan, your lingerie is so bold!
>This is standard equipment on our model...

>>279577904
I think the first argument is enough to suspend disbelief. If scrutiny were necessary, then this work of science fiction won't be conceivable.

Cheating sex with Ponko

>>279573893
Anons speedwatching. He had the rash before he got flashed, right after Tamako facefucked him. Also, terrorist blue man didn't have the rash when they brought him dinner.

This was a bit like that old Star Trek episode with the guys with the black & white faces, without the "Muh racism, captain" part

Netorase sex report with Ponko

>>279578268
I actually looked back and he developed the rash between shots when Tamako took the candy from him.

>the shota raccoon grew up too
truly a sad day

?????

>>279579654
Draft dodging is your patriotic duty.

>>279558010
more like Ryona Hotel

>>279579654
This is my motto.

How come the vast majority of robots broke in the first 50 years then the last few last hundreds

>>279581953
A technician arrived to improvise an effective maintenance schedule.

>>279581978
She wasn't fixing or making anything until like 200 years later tho

>>279581978
>>279581999
also she clearly sucked at her job, since everything was rustier and older-looking when yachiyo came back to earth

Who on earth is this?

>>279582530
Finish watching or watch it again on normal speed

>>279582566
She calls the grandma grandma so I guess it's the other tanuki kid?
Kid is washed the fuck out

>>279582680
*he

In case >>279565470 from the last thread is here.

>>279583405
Proportions a bit off.

>>279573670 (OP)
So, if the cause was 'contact with tanuki' that killed the blue aliens I think the episode would have just SAID that instead of hiding it. Because there are only a couple episodes left in the show, so it feels unlikely that the blue aliens are going to be recurring element that this would be worth revealing later on.

But you know whats been introduced and not capitalized on yet? The virus. if the virus has mutated again and is jumping to alien species, that would be a game changer that would put the hotel, AND OUR TANUKI FRIENDS, in danger. This also gives a purpose for Ponstein, because he is a space doctor who might be able to diagnose and come up with a cure for the virus using space tech that the humans did not have.

This is the start of the arc where curing the virus becomes a priority, which also would allow humanity to come back in the finale.

I thought it was going to turn out he just shed and outer layer or something. I kind of think Pink-cute allergy is a red herring and something about Fuguri's pottery work killed them.

>>279584256
Yeah, that would be pretty good

>>279580772
Is that Neko being punched?

>>279583535
I gave it another try.

>>279584256
Interesting, would like to see this happening.
I wonder if that green plant the first alien visitor left to Yachiyo still has any meaning to the story. Maybe they'll use it against the virus, if that caused another outbreak

>>279584256
This would also explain why there has been so much focus on the Tanuki in the first place: the ending stakes of the show revolve around the virus, and the robots are naturally immune. There needed to be a character or characters that we care if they live or die, so the show needs us to be invested in at least Ponko and her kid so that when the virus mutates saving them becomes the stakes that matter. Humanity coming back after is the *reward*, but the stakes are saving Ponko.

Theoretically, the hotel becoming a place for alien guests could be argued to be the cause of this mutation in the first place. The virus kept getting exposed to more and more alien biologies until it finally found something it reacted with.

we love 'nukis in this household

Hilarious episode, though did they ever say what killed them?

The kid is kind of annoying though. Even Ponko and her brother were more well behaved than that little shit. Yachiyo should deck her.

>>279587056
Ponko was already in her 50s when the tanuki showed up, she just took the form of a child for her disguise. The new kid is probably an actual child still.

>>279587157
I don't know about that. She burst into tears like a little kid after watching her dad get decked. 50something to a long lived species like the tanuki-aliens is most likely young.

No, really, what did kill them? Was it earth pollution? Was it Tamako touching them? Was her eating the candy involved somehow?

>>279588206
They didn't tell us yet, so its probably going to feed into the plot of the last couple episodes. See >>279584256

>>279586907
>There needed to be a character or characters that we care if they live or die, so the show needs us to be invested in at least Ponko and her kid so that when the virus mutates saving them becomes the stakes that matter. Humanity coming back after is the *reward*, but the stakes are saving Ponko.
Dude, what stakes, I will fucking throw a party if all the tanukiniggers die, Ponko and her daughter included.

>>279573670 (OP)
This has been a real sleeper hit of the season for me
last few episodes have all been amazing

maybe season 2 will be about finding a cure if the virus is still lingering through the air affecting everyone. and we still don't know about Yachiyo's colleages from half a millennia ago. who knows, maybe Gingarou hotel isn't one, but many of the hotel chains outside Japan. Whether Ponstin develops a vaccine or just a regular doctor, I'm sure he'll benefit to the arc. I have a feeling next episode one of our Tanuki's is going to grow up again and look different.

>>279588934
does cygames usually continue their anime originals?

>>279588999
https://cygamespictures.co.jp/works/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CygamesPictures

Ume Musume is one of them. some are based on Gacha IPs. Several are films?

they're pretty much a new animation studio from 2016.

>>279589111
Despite being a studio largely made to produce gacha adaptations, Cygames is unironically one of the best studios around right now. They've made a bunch of originals, and so far they have all brought their a-game. When cygames announces a new show, its always worth a watch.

>>279588742
Same. Despite the tanuki being unexpected I've loved every episode. I crave more. Also Ponstin getting mindbroken and screaming about being cucked was amusing.

>>279586194
Yes.

why 12 episodes? is that the standard for every season now? I assume a 13th episode would be an OVA?

>>279590929
what other films do you think they have

>>279590887
bro what year do you think it is

>>279591246
whatever current year Hotel Apocalypse is in.

>>279590887
>is that the standard for every season now?
It has been for like... 30 years?

you think Fuguri will cut his hair next episode?

also 4 of yachiyo's colleague's are in the basement. Yachiyo is still active, however where is the sixth colleague, the male?

>>279591519

>>279590929
Is Tulete Phorher supposed to be a localized name? And Silky Silkerton sounds like another blue alien's name.

>>279591519
I laughed pretty hard at this not gonna lie

>you will never walk into your home with Ponko asking you either of the free choices; do you want dinner, do you want a bath, or do you want me?

i need a better dictionary for expressions.

>>279590887
That's just how it always be. 24 episode are 2 cours.

What the fuck was Ponstin doing in space for all the years Ponko was on earth?

>>279592756
either not yet born, fleeing for dear life with his family, getting education in doctorate's degrees. he looks younger than Ponko.
>>279592716
oh so there will be a second cour, nice.

what would Ponstin and Tamako wear for their worldy travels the Procione family did in the ending theme?

So what the fuck killed the terrorist and the cop? Are they just like allergic to the room?

>>279593516
>he looks younger than Ponko
retard
>oh so there will be a second cour, nice.
double retard

gaijin 4koma edit doko

>>279593789
No clue. Does appear to be exposure to something though.

>>279593789
I think it was likely an allergic reaction to contact with Ponko's daughter.

Alright what the FUCK is her problem can someone hand her an iPad already

>>279594469
The terrorist was itching without making any contact. The detective wasn't itching despite being next to Tamako in the lobby when he first arrived. Proximity might cause side effects with direct being lethal. Despite overreacting with contact though they seemed completely unbothered shortly after. The inconsistency could either be a way to mislead away from this answer or Tamako just isn't the cause of death altogether.

>>279594684
You would think there is something in the Hotel charter that the owner left about respecting child labour laws.

>>279595254
They follow the laws of the land, she's at least 15 or 18.

>>279584256
I feel like it should have jumped to earth mammals before anteater-ant aliens

>>279583405
>>279586215
kek pretty gud

>>279588999
They have a different one next season. Doesn't look as good as this.

I'm going to BREED Ponko's mom and she will get at least three more siblings!!

>>279596333
You really think you can take on Ponstin?

Oyakodon with Ponko and Tamako

>>279596757
You sick fuck, Tamako is way older than you!

>>279597428

THIS! Big ojisans like us can take care of the little ones just as good as a tablet.

Yeah, kids aren't supposed to be raised by iPads. They're supposed to be raised by TVs.

So this is what he looks like.

These are the snails from Uzumaki. They became slugs.

>>279598834
I want to see pink little Tamako.

>>279593789
They are allergic to the pot crafted by Ponko's brother, c'mon /a/nons I thought you were better than this.

How would this end?

>>279599790
somehow the ningen returned

>big ponko
meh
>big ponko AND a mother
HOT

just me things

Serial Bomber Psycho Terrorist yarou da

>>279600075

>>279599651
Not the pot, the detective was already itching before he got hit by it

It started right after Tanuki kid touched him so probably its probably touch contact with Tanuki that is deadly to them

>>279573670 (OP)
The year is 2XXX. Japan is being overrun by alien migrants who shit in the streets

>>279573798
Thread ended here.

gaijin 4koma edit...

>>279600158
The pot is what killed both of them, well not the pot but the special ingredient, he had itching before being hit by the pot because he drank tea from a cup made by Ponko's brother.

Flycatcher robot killed them.

>>279600259
Terrrorrist yarrro didnt touch the pot unlike tanuki girl and the detective itching started right after he was touched by tanuki.
If it was the pot they would gave shown the terro itching when they came to get him dinner

Saw comments from this episode on mal, holy shit i cant believe how retarded they are

>>279600455
What did they say?

>>279600461
One retard was saying it was the cause was the earth atmosphere because some faggot' blog who didnt even enjoy the episode said it

>mal
fuck off, retard

>>279600496
Maybe someone just needed to pour some water on them before they dried up and vomited to death from asphyxia

ep11 preview when?

who wrote the episode?

>>279600512
Its called benefit of the doubt, wasnt worth it.
People here have more clever observation>>279600512

>>279591685
This got me thinking, Ponko managed to fix Yachiyo. How come they haven't fixed the other androids?

>>279600536
Too bad they poured water after he died

>>279600377
Did you miss the focus the terrorist had with the pot? I mean it can't be more spelled out, even at the end they had to show Ponko's brother saying "I made the greatest bowl ever", it's basic writing anon.

>>279581953
That's how it is with a lot of things irl though. Either their design has a flaw that rapidly degrades, or they pretty much last forever.

>>279586354
Isn't it the electricity generating plant in the aquarium?

I love their permanent :3 face

Imagine the centuries of leave Yachiyo has saved up.

Happy

Yachiyo probably is forced to take vacation for 10 years or so, since she kept working nonstop and had accumulated lots of overtime.
>but isn't she a robot and thus part of the hotel inventory?
That owner that put a water kettle function in her as well as a sexy-cute voice and sexy-form and self-destruction and whatnot would definitely have wanted her to emulate normal human hotel conscierges.

>>279606502
more like autistic

>>279606120
Sorry. She used it up during her orbital misadventure and recovery. PTO and sick leave come from the same time bank, please understand.

>>279606725
That was only around twenty years though.

>>279606719

>>279602551
Something only they have, it seems. Ponstin didn't have a card symbol.

>>279606911
would :3

>>279607201

>>279600581
Their hotels were closed or destroyed. There's no provision for an android working at a different hotel. They are part their hotel.

>>279608627
What? The ones in the basement all belong to Gingarou which was like the first hotel that implemented robot staff, this was shown in flashbacks

>>279608627
Don't tell me you skipped through all the flashback scenes

>>279601222
Oh right, I must've missed/forgotten that part

>>279601550
Glorious post, gotta love that Ponstin in the back

>>279605693
She’s going on a vacation?

>next episode is Ponko viewing outside Gingarou Hotel
>meets a horse

also I just recall that episodes 1 and 2 didn't have a massive timeskip, but it was two or three days. And Ponko was right, the plant in the tank did grow.

>>279605693
>Yachiyo playing on the bed
Why aren't sapient cute robot girls rea? WHY?!

>Ponko has the body of an adult, but the face of a child

will we ever see the tanuki's homeplanet or is it still shit and being razed by terrorists?

>>279620032
If this is a universe where planet-destroying bombs come in the size of candy that people can carry in their pockets then I'd hate to see what's left of a planet when everyone starts slinging shit at each other.

Give it to me straight: an hotel CAN'T actually survive without shampoo hats right? This is just hamfisted writing by the show creators in order to asspull why the failgarou survived certain business death?

>>279620032
>>279621637
The future that India wants

>>279621734
Well, they still have their shampoo hats, so they should be fine.

>>279573670 (OP)
Best episode yet maybe? At least it was fucking funny to see them hide a body this nonchalantly lmao
The theories on what killed them so far are interesting, in order of likelihood imo:
>1 Earth virus
>2 vase/pot material
>3 atmosphere

Plot wise n1 makes most sense, but at the same time the vase thing was too out of place to have been included. Also, who transmitted the virus? Is it able to stay dormant on any surface for centuries and activate immediately? This is making me reconsider n1. N3 is also very possible but how come they weren't aware even with their insane technology and it would also be the least meaningful

NTR joke? Funny.
Tamako? Cute.
Episode? Daiseiko.

>>279594684
I think she's supposed to be way younger than Ponko or Ponko's brother was when they were kids, plus being raised by Ponko only knowing the hotel makes it natural that she's a little shit. Ponko was a lil' shit too but she at least had some maturity as the onee-chan and knowing how bad the situation they ran away from is.

>>279622031
Nah m8 camera flashes

The decision to make Yachiyo instantly choose to cover up the crime was pure genius. Whenever she is confronted with a situation that goes outside the scope of her programming she beep booping in all the wrong directions. Freaking over missing shampoo hats, turning into a tank delinquent, hiding crimes and disposing of the bodies. I love it. They could have made her a perfect angel like 99% of doll-like robot girls but instead we get something actually interesting to watch.

>>279623083
It's all for the sake of the hotel.

>>279623083
I'm alarmed that she didn't attempt to determine cause of death to prevent issues with future customers. Seems like the proper hotelier thing to do.

>>279621637
It at least makes Harmy more justified. If anything he's practically a hero now for blowing up civilizations before they blow themselves up.

>second to last episode
fuck the anticipation is killing me like Yachiyo tap dancing on the street.

Ponstin pumping Ponko

>>279622031
My take on why its the virus. Writing wise the vase makes the most sense. However both terrorist and the cop seemed to have a good eye for pottery. Perhaps pottery is a big part of their culture, who knows. If something was wrong though they would have caught on to something. Also, the terrorist never directly touched any pottery. Even his comment about the vase attracting unsavory types was only pointing to his own desire to destroy things that are beautiful. The terrorist starts itching before direct contact with Tamako, so it can't be her. The camera flash is possible but unlikely since the terrorist knew what it was but had no other reaction. It could be the slugs since they mentioned something about secreting. But by having everything in the episode contradict it mimics a closed room where the answer is something that was in the show before the episode was closed. Aka the virus. It also provides a nice way to cycle back to the original plot.

Tamako, did I ever tell you the time Yachiyo went blew fireworks over our bad habit and traumatized me to tears? She gave us a good scolding.

>>279625652
Ponko's crying face is so quite. I miss when she was a kid but I guess we have her daughter now.

>>279625596
I'd think they do it tanuki style but maybe Ponko saw some those other human movies to copy.

We should've been shown either Ponko giving birth or Ponko breastfeeding Tamako.

>>279627928
you can always ask a draw anon. all these time skips you think they could save some future stories to tell.

The preview is just yachiyo being a guest? And exploring earth, we only have 2 episodes left they better confirm a second season

>>279628711
Either she's on leave or this is an AU episode.

>>279628711
Maybe she got fired for looking at too much porn on the hotel's wifi while working, and misplacing shampoo hats.

>>279628711
it might be a cour anon. a testing ground for the audience.

>>279625596
>>279627928

How Tamako Was Made

you think we'll ever see shota ponstin

>Only 2 episodes left
Gaijin bros... I know it has to end, but I don't want it to end

I'm almost glad they didn't try anything crazy with their anime original. I feel like there haven't been original IPs that weren't massively ambitious in a while. This and Maebashi Witches are the first since Healer Girl that I can remember.
Momentary Lily doesn't count since that went the other way and was specifically trying to be awful since there's no other explanation

>>279630267
i don't think it'll end. sure 12 episodes is short to make room for more anime seasonals, but with interest i'm sure there'll be a second cour. and introducing a new character this late in the show tells me they have plans on making Tamako and Ponstin important later on.

>>279630337
Damn, how did Ponko go from your pic to THIS.

>>279630589
why do i feel like we're gonna see old tanuki ponko

>>279630602
Considering how slowly tanuki age that would be thousands of years in the future.

hey ponstin did i ever tell you about the time we made a distillery?

>>279630734
Mama looks so hot here

>>279584256
It might be something leading to >>279586907. The virus has affected the tanukis but it has no symptoms on them, still it had hundreds of years to mutate inside of them and maybe it's time for it to come out. Still, being an instantly lethal one, idk how they are going to pull it off

Maybe it's because he's had so little screen time, but Ponstin is my favorite tanuki. I'll go even further and say he seem pretty cool and I like him.

>>279632342
It's because he's a cuck, isn't it, anon.
