Tasokare Hotel

Situated within an endless twilight, the Tasogare Hotel welcomes anyone stuck between life and death. Unaware of their fate, guests must regain lost memories through mementos hidden in their designated hotel room. Most guests pass on or return to the world of living within days, while few others find themselves staying at the hotel for much longer than usual.

Neko Tsukahara, a young woman with an expressionless face, finds herself at this hotel. As she is guided along by the staff, Neko regains enough of her memories to become invested in the plights of the other guests. Solving the guests' affairs and the mystery behind the hotel turns out to be too interesting of a situation to pass up; Neko decides that simply being a guest is not enough to satisfy her curiosity.

It's rare for me to give a 10/10 rating. Aside from this anime, I give it to "To Your Eternity" and "Dororo" so if you ever watched those two, you can predict how good this anime is.

Let's break down to the show itself. It gives us many types of story that I personally think emotional, there's one particular episode that cause me cry a lot. But normally people wouldn't cry over this, so please don't expect this to become a really sad anime. Think of it as a usual mystery anime. It's like "Death Parade" a story about life and death, but with a ... fun MC, funny manager, and a big plot twist at the end.

I read that this anime is an adaptation from game, but unlike other similar adaptation, this one is really good. Even though the animation isn't as beautiful as let's say Frieren or Demon Slayer, this anime still has a pretty good visual. I highly recommend this!

If you ever watch Death Parade, it's even better than that. But please be prepared for some disturbing scene. We're talking about life and death stories, not a happy slice of life anime.

Mixed Feelings

As someone who loved the game, I’m biased so I gave it a slightly higher score than it deserves. Though the premise is hella interesting and had a mystery atmosphere throughout with music that matched, the plot toward the end did not go as smoothly as I had hoped. My main gripe was about both Neko and Osato. About Neko, she’s made to be a smart, detective-like character but when it comes to Osato, she makes some pretty stupid decisions that get her and the people around her in trouble. For Osato, people might say he’s a compelling villain and whatnot but he’s really just ... a pathetic loser and I don’t know how he got away with his actions for so long. Honestly, the most interesting character was actually the manager imo. Overall though, it’s still interesting but I would recommend the game over the anime (sad they didn’t use the original song kaneko sang in the game ;-;)

The anime had a somewhat interesting premise and some early promise, which convinced me to give it a try. This might go against the general opinion in the anime community and among fans of the original game, but I actually found the first two episodes to be pretty solid. They gave off a vibe similar to a more toned-down Death Parade, with a light-hearted mystery angle. I was intrigued enough to even download the game to explore it further.

However, things started going downhill with the introduction of Oosoto. From that point on, the tone shifted dramatically as the show began taking itself far too seriously, ... trying to come off as deep, edgy, and intellectually intense, but failing on all fronts. Every time Oosoto appears, he’s framed as the genius mastermind: The smug, all-knowing manipulator protected by layers of plot armor. The series seems desperate to convince viewers that he’s a dangerous and brilliant psychopath, but it never really lands.

The episodic cases, which initially caught my interest with their randomness and variety, quickly devolved into repetitive, shock-value-heavy stories. The show kept pushing for darker, more mature themes, but the mediocre animation and lack of a coherent narrative or strong identity made those attempts fall flat. It all started to feel like a try-hard effort to be labeled "smart" or "mature," without having the substance to back it up.

From what I’ve heard, the game offers more interactivity, letting players solve mysteries themselves and search for clues, which might enhance the experience. But in the anime, that depth is lost. The main characters all feel like exaggerated tropes, which made the final twist not only unsurprising but disappointingly forced. The conclusion also undercut the core concept, making the entire premise feel redundant.

In the end, the anime comes off like a mash-up of ideas borrowed from better shows, thrown together in hopes it would stick. What we get instead is a mediocre execution that left me disappointed
