Hotel Inhumans

Ikurou Hoshi and Sara Haizaki are the concierges at Hotel Inhumans, a hotel that specifically caters to assassins. They fulfill all the requests their guests may ask of them, never uttering the word "no." While Ikurou specializes in research into their clients' backgrounds and careers, Sara protects the hotel with skills to match that of the hotel's patrons.

However, despite providing every service imaginable for these assassins, Ikurou despises those who kill for money and claims daily that he is going to quit his job. Yet the more requests he and Sara fulfill on behalf of their guests, the more Ikurou learns about the unexpected humanity found within the assassins. With every glimpse into the lives and motivations of those who murder for a living, the more he realizes assassins are not so different from him or Sara.

This year, the hotel stories don't seem to disappoint.

At first, what I expected was a story similar to John Wick's Intercontinental Hotel. A hotel where hitmen arrive, but killing is prohibited, but we'd still see action scenes, gunfire, and death. What I ended up getting was much better than I expected. A story that seeks to humanize the figure of the hitman. The anime tells the stories of different hitmen through their stay at the hotel. They are quite human stories because they don't seek to demonize the work of a hitman, but rather view it as an everyday job. Characters who did this to ... save a family member, people who worked as if it were office hours, and many different cases. It's an anime that seeks to explore human emotions in a situation where your life is always at risk and the only safe place you have is this hotel. Being an episodic anime, the messages come across loud and clear. They have simple but powerful messages, because what they seek to do is generate empathy for a figure you shouldn't be empathizing with. It's always thought that a hitman is bad, and so is killing, but sometimes the people who are targeted are actually worse than them. The work handles very well this idea that sometimes the dregs of society aren't in the underworld, but in broad daylight. The narrative is impeccable because there are no bad stories, and each one teaches you something. My favorite is the one about the hitman with dementia; it's a very sad story because it's always sad to see a family member in that situation.

The downside is the animation. It's not bad in the emotional or slow parts, but everything changes when they try to create action scenes. The action feels very slow, and the movements feel very heavy, as if the characters are carrying an extra weight. Even the action scenes end up being poorly realized, in some episodes because they interrupt the immersion. Still, the anime can make up for this poor performance with the rest, which it does satisfactorily.

If you want something fresh with slightly more human and emotional stories, then this is your place, and don't be afraid to ask for a room at this great hotel.

Mixed Feelings

Hotel Inhumans, something that does make me oddly think of it being familiar to the Continental. You know, the hotel where assassins get to relax and request in the John Wick universe. To be fair, I've watched all of the John Wick movies leading up to Ballerina that were also released this year, so I couldn't help but be interested in this anime. I mean, you have a couple of concierges running this private hotel where assassins reside and make requests, participate, and do a little clean up when necessary. Did I enjoy this anime? Well, it does have problems ... while it does have some more good episodic wise. Hear me out on this review.
The anime is more of an anthology series where a couple of concierges named Ikuro and Sara run the hotel, taking requests and assisting them when necessary. The situation of each episode does take its time either in one episode or in four episodes. I give them credit that they do take their time with each situation the assassin of choice is in with or without the concierges. We see their backstory, how they became infamous that reaches the hotel, and the way it all ended. I don't mind when an anthology does so. Although, it is a pro and a con when it depends on which assassin's story is your favorite. Sister Sister was okay. Dying Service was okay. Corpse Revival was forgettable for me. Remember Me was subtle. I did not like A Last Supper for what they were going for. I think Spider was a great episode for what it's worth. Risk Management was a slog for me, sadly. Another Sky would be up there as my favorite next to Spider. Maybe my second favorite. You are free to disagree with my takes since these are my thoughts for each assassins journey.
What about the concierges? I found Sara being professional for what her character delivers while assisting each assassin. Her assistant, Ikuro, however, is kinda annoying at most times. It seems like he had just entered the business, which I know is the case. He just annoys the hell out of me when he complains more than other annoying characters in the past. Sure, he does his job and got used to it as we were nearing the end, but the more I have to hear him complain, the more I just wanna tell him to shut up. It makes sense that Ikuro is like everyone else who had just started working and would complain every so often. Trust me, I've been through that myself except when something doesn't do me any favor whenever I work. Ikuro is just another annoying character that you would hear every so often. They did announce that this is getting a second season, so I hope Ikuro changes by the time it rolls around.
As for the assassins who are featured in their own episodes, they range from my favorites to just okay. What's important is that whatever happened to them would lead to a happy end, a subtle end, or just happiness that those who know them are comfortable in the aftermath. Give the show credit that it was all done privately from the public. I've talked about the characters too much. What about the action? It's some decent action for what it delivers as well as the animation. Bridge Studio, the folks who've worked on the animation, do a good job for what they have delivered. Although, I can't help but think that some of the visuals are a little ashy. Though I've seen worse animation. Tetsuro Amino, who has directed Macross 7, did a great job at directing this series. Shoji Yonemura wrote the series, and I would think he did a good job with it, given that he's done a lot of projects back in the 90s before Hotel Inhumans.
At first, I thought I wasn't gonna like this series at the beginning. But I just think it was fine. I might be one of the few people who is mixed on this series. Mainly because I didn't enjoy every single episode. Or rather, there were more good episodes than I didn't like very little episodes. Sure, one of the concierges is annoying, but at the least, Ikuro did pull his weight for the sake of each assassins situation alongside Sara. I would hope the second season is an improvement for what this season has been for me. If you're in the mood for some new action, take it for what it's worth and check it out. I will be giving this hotel a six out of ten. 6/10.

What a waste this anime is...

It's not particularly bad, really, apart from the fact that I was terribly bored watching it. I didn't particularly notice any major flaws that would warrant giving it a below-average rating. BUT there is one thing that compels me to write this comment, and that is that the concept of the anime seriously deserved so much better...

With a concept like this, it's criminal to offer nothing more than a bland, dull series where every story has been seen and reviewed 200 times... They could have played on the hotel's morals (which, I remind you, helps any criminal who comes in), ... played on the styles of entertainment or the atmosphere of the episodes, explored the hotel's intentions, the types of criminals (not just good people with tragic pasts). In short, there was definitely potential to create something much more original and refreshing, but instead we have a bland series with characters and plots that are depressingly banal when they're not completely uninteresting.

Truly, a huge disappointment.
