Geez, they're not kidding around about assassins. A plan for a murder went South but this episode still shows how far some characters are willing to go to get the job done.

Between Hoshi and Sara, it seems the two of them are still working like usual like they're destined to.

Hidden gem of the season award! Holy fuck I feel awful man. I thought this was gonna be a slower paced and frankly uneventful episode compared to the premiere, and up until the last few minutes it was. I love the Sara screentime and Hoshi is cool, but it was a slow burn until the end. That ending absolutely wrecked me. The irony of being mistaken as the guy you just killed and killed by someone he hurt.. fuck.

It’s crazy too because I was just saying “I’m not gonna complain about a drug dealer who’s destroying the community being killed.” And Kase, who’s doing a service to the community, gets killed. ON HIS ANNIVERSARY.. I’m gonna be fucked up all week thinking about his wife coming home waiting on someone that’ll never come through that door.. and he gave her the first goodbye kiss today too man fuck 😢

I’m curious though, are we gonna see the guy from the last episode again or is this purely gonna be episodic and Sara and Hoshi are the only recurring faces? I really wanted to know how he and the niece would get on.. given how this episode ended, the sister actually might be dead fr. I thought because there was no body that she could be alive, but it seems this is gonna be a bit more cynical.

Sara is so freaking pretty

Just like other hotel anime, each episode will have its own flavor, its own focus on each customer.

The irony of getting murked while being disguised as your target. That's occupational risk for ya. Unfortunately, the guy who stabbed him wasn't able to tell that it wasn't Shimamoto, but Kase based on his gait. He will probably never know that he got the guy who killed his actual target of revenge.

Looking forward to the 2nd part of this.

Yeah, should have known him bumping into his wife ( of all things!) was an ill omen. But the irony of being taken out as the person you *JUST* took out for the same reason is next level.

I was legit rooting for the guy because his wife loves him so much and I didn't want her to be sad. The next episode's title is "dying service 2" so maybe they can still save him somehow? 😔 fingers crossed

I like the anime but the amount of orchestra music in ep 2 was way too annoying. Felt like filler plus I just dont like that type of music much

Are we even a bit surprised after the "anniversary" was mentioned?



The fact that he can't read her at all, that she knows how he walks and how to make him nervous, makes me think she's also an assass... His wife!



Nice touch about the orchestra being without the director, and then, a glowing director. Very "eleganto", you might say. I wonder now what that "Dying service" really means.


(I'm 100% not answering the guy above who doesn't like that music)

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

The last portion of this episode heavily reminded me of The Twilight Zone episode, "The Four of Us Are Dying".

so he doesn't have any background knowledges of his assassination target? or he doesn't know the protenial risk posing as someone else? maybe because he just ran into his wife, so he got stabbed without noticing anything strange I suppose, and now the hotel gonna offer him one of their many services

Well damn, that was just epic and sad. I was getting major death flags cause not all hired killers get to live a happy life. Sad but expected. And the irony of getting killed because you were mistaken as one of your targets when you tried achieving "perfection". Damn. Awesome episode nevertheless.

Some interesting quirks this episode. I like what they did with the orchestra and the sound track, very nice indeed. I am starting to like Sara too. So no-nonsense.

I imagine the dying service has something that includes possibly informing the family or friends of the death, and perhaps where/if they are buried or cremated, or some such

Ha nice use of Haydn's Symphony No. 94 aka "Surprise Symphony"
I only remember this because our classical music teacher showed us this piece of 18th century trolling.
The backstory is Haydn was mad because people were falling asleep at his concerts so he composed this song wake them up.
The audience had a good laugh at the "surprise".

A good author leaves the audience enough material to be satisfied with, yet yearning for more.

Wouldn't mind a hotel-centric crossover series with Sara jointly tending the reception desk and hanging out with Neko Tsukahara and Yachiyo.

Damn guess even being a concierge for a Hotel with assassins is complicated huh.

Wonder what their dying service is like in the next episode…

Hoshi’s definitley a goofball of the 2 concierges and also Sara’s the serious one who takes her job seriously.

@ 17:55 & 23:09 ... the crow ... some sort of drone, or trained?
Anyways, I think he'll be saved...but metaphorically dies as an assassin.
For some reason, I think the wife is an assassin too, but coincidentally just happened to be there?

Well, not even a half good as first episode. :( For me I mean. I hope it will get more serious again. I still like the theme.
