Synopsis

After reluctantly being dragged to a festival at her parents' rural hometown, Oriko "Okko" Seki must face her sudden harsh reality: the death of both of her parents in a car accident shortly after they arrive. Now, Okko must live at her grandmother's traditional hot springs inn, which she is surprised to find is occupied by the ghost of a barefoot child. He encourages Okko to follow in her grandmother's footsteps and prepare to inherit the inn.

Initially, Okko struggles to keep up with the responsibilities of the inn and the accommodation of guests. However, her parents told her that an inn is welcoming for everyone, and she strives to honor their memory. After discovering a few other spirits around the village, Okko learns that even though her parents are gone, she does not have to be lonely.

This is an interesting on. I don't have a lot to say about it, but that's far from a bad thing. This is, in a lot of ways, a very simple film, in terms of how the plot plays out. It plays out pretty simply, and while there are a couple of solid twists in there, it doesn't feel like there's anything that shakes the core of the world. The characters are fairly simple and it's really only the protagonist, Okko, who gets much in the way of an arc, simply because that's all the story needs.
Because simplicity isn't a bad thing. When you ...

Mixed Feelings
I was on the couch looking for a movie because my ADHD didn't allow me to start a series. I wanted something to lift my mood up and make me feel better.

Maybe I am a whimp when it comes to sadness/trauma in shows like this but it really didn't hit the spot. It was saddening even when things were looking positive just because my heart went out to ...

On paper, the story for Okko's Inn has potential: a young girl who just lost her parents goes to stay/work in her grandmother's inn while talking to ghosts.  It sounds cute and slightly dramatic.  In execution, it doesn't quite seem to know what to do with itself.  It mostly tries to be a slice of life story about Okko trying to be a junior innkeeper, but it also awkwardly tacks on pieces here and there about how she is dealing (or not dealing) with the grief stemming from her parents' deaths.  Instead of cute or moving, it mostly comes off as annoying.

The weakest part of ...
